Can't remember when my ambitions where higher then that
 Looks good for me so far. Not making any changes in 3 seasons and losing some good players to retirement really helped my team
Oh can't forget about blind drafting  |

And your Punter was soooooo frustrated in the 4th Q 10:39 Lamont Payne (P) punts the ball from opp 9 for 38, this is a touchback That might have been an easy FG. My D# had a pretty good game. I don't know, what I would do with out it. |

Yeah, I just found that rogue line in my playbook...
Not sure why I'd put the line '4th and 1, losing by 20+, don't bother going for it on 4th down any more, just punt it away' above my default 'kick field goal' line, but hey ho... oops Last edited on 2015-06-16 21:16:04 by JonnyP |

I never did this for the Elite league, but I thought 'who cares' and will try to do something I did for several season in the Monarch forum.
Looking at the status quo and giving my personal picks for standing after season final. Let's start with the AC: AC AC East Landru Athletics This is 1 of the 3 unbeaten teams left and the only 1 in the AC. They are 2 games up front for the division title against the Bears and does look quite easy, from their point of view. So probably will the division be decided already with the match against the Bears 2015-06-27. Apart from that, the game against the Mascots a week earlier will maybe give clear hint for the conference standings. They are my pick to have the best record in the AC and to get #1 spot for the playoffs. Styrian Bears The Bears do have an almost hard rest schedule as the Athletics, which does not help to win 2 more games than them in the last 7. They will play the Wolves twice the next few weeks and also play the Hawks. I doubt they will jump the Athletics, which might leaves a wildcard spot for them. 4 teams are the moment in the closer mix and they have the best record. They might drop to #6, but dropping completely out of the playoffs spots looks at the moment a bit unlikely. Vienna Falcons The Falcons do live a bit under the radar at the moment, with 1 win behind the Bears. They are in financial trouble at the moment, but they should be fine soon, since their wages for players and coaches are around 4 mio. in sum. But they might get a player cut, I'm not sure how long they are in trouble overall. That would be a loss. They do have a quite easy schedule, but if that will help to win 1 game more than the Bear and overcome the PD deficit? I doubt it. Still, in this league there are many upsets possible. At the moment they do look like a team getting relegated with a quite positive record. Budapest Wolves They Wolves still have the chance to make stand. With 3 games behind the Bears and over 200 points behind they will have to fight very hard to get into the save zone, but they have quite nice opponents. Playing the worst teams of the AC and the NC will help and playing the Bears twice will help also, if they win those. But I doubt it. They will get a better record, but not good enough. So relegation will be their fate. Will they jump the Falcons? Probably not. AC North CARDIACJACKETS The Jackets are leading with 1 win more than the next team the division and have at the moment the #4 spot in the playoffs. They have a quite hard rest schedule, playing many teams with positive records. Crucial games will at gameday 14 and 17 where they play the Swim Team twice, which will probably decide the division. With 1 game up front here and around 40 points in PD, there is room for losses. But I doubt a sweep by the Swim Team. So it will be decided by the tough games coming. My tip is they will not win enough games to avoid a jump of the Swim team, unless the Jackets can sweep them. The loss of the division crown will very likely mean, no playoff spot. They might even drop to 3rd place and would have to relegate. Alcatraz Swim Team They have an almost perfect comeback schedule. They can play the leader twice, and they play the winless Destroyers also twice. If you want to win the division, you need to win those ones. The rest will be tough games, which they will win or lose, but the chances are almost as for the Jackets. So these 4 games will be crucial. They need 1 win more than the Jackets and 40 points, which can be easily scored if they win against them. My tip is, they will make it and will win the division and get the #4 spot. Lisbon Mighty Lions The Lions do have an almost as easy rest schedule as the Swim Team, except it feels a bit tougher. Add here they 2 wins behind the leading Jackets and the division crown is a bit far away. They might get even a tie in wins, but I still expect the Swim Team to have a better PD or even a win more. A second place in the division is possible, but it can easily be the third one and relegation. Ajalvir Destroyers The Destoyers have lost every game so far. They do have a tough schedule so far and it will continue. I see 1-2 wins possible, but I would be surprise to see more. A relegation spot is for sure. AC South Stone Mtn Hawks They Hawks are almost done with the division, thanks to a 3 tie for the bottom of the division with 5 wins ahead. They have at the moment the #3 spot in the playoffs and could jump to #2 (1 win behind) or fall to #4 (1 win ahead). I expect them to sweep the division rivals, which should keep them from falling to #4 and I expect them to give up some other games, which should leave the Mascots at #2 untouched. So, overall it looks like they will settle for #3 and win the division. Waiheke Island Kiwis The Kiwis are leading the 3 way tie for relegation by around 100 points in PD. Much in this league. If at the end some teams, including the Kiwis do have the same record, the Kiwis will probably be the winner for the better spot. They all play a almost the same tough rest schedule, with the Kiwis having 2 home games against the Broncos and the Sabres. This might give them the edge. Tough to pick a team here, but at the moment they look like the winner of the 3 teams to stay in the league. Oban Bay Broncos This may sound strange, but the Broncos do have the worst circumstances for a stay in the league. They play both teams on the road and almost the same tough cookies for the rest. They might win 1 of those, but 2? Maybe not. And here comes the pity. They are in PD behind the Kiwis and the Sabres have to play the Destroyers, which might give them 1 more win, the others can't. I pick the Broncos for relegation at the 3rd place. North Carolina Sabres As said, they play 1 home and 1 away game and in addition they play the Destroyers on the road. No guarantee they win this one, but they can. I doubt it, so I pick them at 4th place and relegation. AC West Free Agent Mascots The reigning champs did lose 2 games already. Not much to fall out of the playoffs and that's the place were winning counts most. The rest schedule is quite mixed, they easily can drop a few more or win all of them, so it's anyone's guess where they will land. If the Athletics do not struggle great, they don't have much chances to get back on the #2 spot in the conference. I personally doubt a big slide by the Mascots, so they probably also won't slip to the #3 spot. Which leaves them at #2. Granted, they could even lose the division, they are only 1 win up front. But I think they can hold off the contenders and win the division again. Carrickfergus Knights Only 1 win and 40 points are missing for the division crown and only 60+ points do keep them from relegation at the moment. The Knights are in a strange position at the moment. They play tough and weak teams over the next few weeks and unfortunately for them they play the Mascots on the road. They play the Bobcats at home, which might give them the edge for relegation. This division is far from decided regarding the relegation teams, but it looks at the moment OK for the Knights. Because of the weaker teams on the schedule it's very likely, the 2nd place team here will be in the wildcards, probably #5. WV BoBcats Bad luck for them, they already played most of the easier teams the other 2 teams above of him still have to play. Means, their schedule is tougher, means eventually less wins and relegation. The point difference is also a problem, because even with equal wins, the Knights will probably score more points against the weaker teams. All just theory, but the arguments are valid. So, my pick is, they will have to settle for relegation. Galrauch Raiders The Raiders did win 3 games so far and will win a only a few more. Granted, in best case the team could win almost every upcoming games, but I can't see, why this should happen now. I doubt the can overcome the 4 games behind the Mascots or 3 behind the Knights, which leads to relegation. Much can happen in the AC and not all teams are out of the playoff race, but for me the picture did narrows quite down. Which brings us to the NC: NC NC East michigan state spartans The spartans are the 2nd team of 3 unbeaten teams. Except the Vulcans game, all other games do look in favor of the spartans. That game against the Vulcans will probably be the game for the #1 spot in the conference. At the moment it looks like the spartans can win this game, too and will go undefeated into the playoffs. We will see. Montego Bay Cardinals The Cardinals are at the moment at 2nd place in the division and at #6 in the conference. They have a tough rest program, but also face the Bats twice. It would be a surprise if they would lose a few more games, the question is, how many will they win. To be honest, I doubt they will win as much as the Cripplers (1 win behind), so than the PD will decide the spot. My pick is they will fall out of the playoffs. Next question is, will they be able to hold of the Celtics, which are 2 wins behind? Tough to say, but 2 wins are very much to overcome, so I guess, yes. Leeds Celtics They are in a bad position. They are 2 wins behind and do play a schedule as strong or weak as the Cardinals. Means, they have to win 2 more games and add more points in the same amount of games to get out of the relegation spot. Not unlikely, but tough. At the moment I doubt that result and see them as relegation team. Gotham City Bats After a win in week 1 (against my team, thank you very much) they lost all games. Not really all with a landslide, but the last game against the spartans was a beating you don't want to see very often. I think they can win some of the upcoming games, but not many. Overall, relegation is a fact already and every win only for honor and pride. NC North Secret Air Service This division is up for grab for 3 teams at the moment, but maybe that will change fast. Air Service has a quite tough rest schedule, so they might drop a few. All? No. Too many? Maybe. The question mark will be around the performance of the other teams and how the Air Service will do against the Dragons and the Leopards. Winning against both division rivals looks unlikely at the moment, but possible. That would help. I think they will drop a few more games than the Dragons overall and will fall to 2nd place. Because if the tight situation, a wildcard spot would then be unlikely. Black Dragons The Dragons did play some tough teams and only because of this they are down to 5 wins only. I think their rest schedule now is a bit easier than Air service ones, so I think they will get 1-2 more wins out of this, which will give them the lead. A division win is possible and that would mean #3 or #4 spot in the conference. Leverkusen Leopards Honestly I'm a bit surprised over the 5 wins my team has. They rest schedule is tough and I don't expect wins against my division foes, even if I will not give up on the games. My team will always play for a win, but Dragons and Air Service on the road will be too much, I guess. Which leave my team on a relegation spot. Unless they score some more upsets, it's 1 and done for my team here, this season. Manchester Machine They were a bit unlucky so far. Many close losses against good teams. And the schedule is not getting much easier now. I think they will win a few ones. If that will be enough to get the 3rd place, I don't know, it looks a bit unlikely at the moment, but still possible. But I doubt a turnaround for 2nd or even 1st place. So eventually, both newcomers this season will relegate back to level 1. NC South T'Pau Vulcans The Vulcans are the 3rd and last unbeaten team. They do lead by 2 wins inside their division and are over 110 behind in PD against the spartans inside the conference. That means, the game against the spartans at week 14 will probably fix the sorting for the #1 spot. It save to say that the Vulcans will get at east the #2 spot, because they are 4 wins up front to #3 or #4. It's would faster happening, that they lose the division, than drop in the conference standing (if they win the division). Good for them they play a quite easy rest schedule. At least easy enough to stay ahead of the game and to make the last gameday against the Blitzkrieg meaningless. San Diego Blitzkrieg They need to win, fast and bigger than the Vulcans. Not impossible, but I would expect they would need to win basically every game from now on. Some games look easy on paper, some do look like a coin toss. I think they can win enough to get into the wildcard mix. Roughhausen Cripplers The Cripplers are 1 game behind the Blitzkrieg and 3 behind the division crown. Not easy. Almost every game of the rest schedule looks winnable, but they could easily also lose by an upset now and then. Only a (almost) perfect record for the last 7 games will give them a wildcard spot or even more. As we know the nature of this games, this sounds a bit unlikely. If they can beat their division foes, they do have a chance. Stumble, and they season is over and relegation is coming. San Diego Hurricanes I don't want to be rude, but this team can prepare for the next season on level 1. With only 2 wins and 5 wins behind a save spot, the task to get this into a winning situation is too big. The team has a high potential to become an annoying opponent and can score some upset wins, but overall it won't be enough. NC West FAJNY TIM They hold the #3 spot of the playoffs and might hold that one, or fall to #4, if they win their division. They are 1 up front to the Fighters. They play the Fighters and Aurochs once in the next few weeks, and the Steamrollers even twice. If they can win most of those games, they will win the division. The Fighters game will be at week 14 and if the drop that, it will be tough to keep the division top spot. Fighters de PĪ»ris They are 1 behind TIM and they have a tough rest schedule. This makes a comeback for the division crown a bit unrealistic. They would need a very good result against all those good teams to turn things around. If they want to stay at the 2nd place in the division, they better win some games, because I think that 1 game ahead of the steamrollers will be gone very fast. My prediction is, they will drop too many games and will fall to 3rd place. Underachieving Steamrollers Chances are good they can jump the Fighters.Their schedule is not that brutal and they can even get some division games wins. It might sound silly, but they can really win the division. The bad news regarding this is, they are 2 games behind and TIM has to be beaten twice to get even near it. For me that sounds a bit unlikely. But they can get the 2nd place in the division and say in the league. Besaid Aurochs The team decided to can the season and relegate. Two divisions are quite open and the conference spots are wide open. They next few weeks will settle that. That's it for now, CU. Last edited on 2015-06-21 08:10:31 by jack6 |
