One of my favorite quotes about Bear Bryant was from Bum Phillips. He said, "Bryant can take his'n and beat your'n, and then he can turn around and take your'n and beat his'n".

There should be an opportunity for a better coach to win with a lesser team.


It happens every game day all over the Leagues where lower rating teams beat higher rating teams. Coaching alone won't win you every game, sometimes when you play against an equally good coach, it's all down to the players on the field.

One of the reasons that the admirals league is the toughest team in the league is that it's full of good coaches who outthink the opposition. Historically the league has been full of teams who have regularly punched above their weight especially in the supercup. But sometimes the difference in quality
Is just too much to make up. Keep going though and you could get there

Season is over, Playoffs baby

In 2.1 we have
Littleton Devils @ Rolf City Kings
Zurich Sharks @ Vienna Swabians Seestadt (sorry for Zurich, my Favorite are the Swabians, they are in my local area)
Strasbourg Blues @ Shropshire Storm
Lostregos @ Turpiales de Caracas

In 2.2:
Debrecen Pharmacists @ Brisxton Massive
Southfield Tigers @ Comagena Lions
Ljubljana Dregons @ Anchorage Bricklayers
SpringHeel Jacks @ Rhinos Milano

For me it will be a hard battle between Tigers and Lions. Tigers have the better team but the PC is heavy on the ground. In AC I think Brixton and Comagena will come to Division Round.
In NC it's harder. I don't know the Rhinos and the Dregons. Anchorage has a good tactic but I think for all four WC teams the season will end latest in Division Found, because Bulldozers and Kamen Rose-Croix are to heavy to beat.

I don't have much experience, because this is my rookie season, but I can say that my arrival to the playoffs is the result of an easy schedule.
I ended with a relegation match Season 19, so I deserved an easy season 20 and I didn't meet the best teams of the NC (Rhinos, Bulldozers and Rose-Croix) and avoided the Jets in my conference too.

That's why I feel myself as the "odd coach out".

I will try my best to show that my team deserves its place in the playoff. On the other hand I'm sure Bracciano Lakers are the worst team of the 4 (AC+NC) best seeds.

As underdogs, we can afford to play each match as a gift and enjoy it. Only with the final outcome we will assess our real value.

Good luck to all players involved in the post season ... and may the last arrived win

Nice analysis, but I'm not quite sure about that part
I see myself more like yashin sees himself in the previous post. Lucky to be in here, because of the easier div. With the hounds there is just one team that is as experienced as mine, starting at the end of december 2015

Was surprised that beckos have me in for a close win as well, but I don't believe this before tomorrow at 10pm

Normally, Southfield will be the best in AC. I have also started in September or October 2015 with my Team. But their biggest Problem is PC. They are at 42% so your Chance is more than alive. Your first game against him was very Close and I have beaten him twice and last season he kicked my a..

I noticed the really low PC, but don't know how big the impact of PC really is. The first game against them was kind of special for me. On one side it was nice because I expected a loss by far more points, on the other side it was very frustrating to lose because of 4 interceptions

If I recall, low PC can have a noticeable difference in how a team plays. 42% PC is way too low, probably will cost him some games against equal and lower rated opponents. You are are quite a bit lower than him in the offensive and defensive ratings, but I would expect another close game.

I tried to keep most players on my old team at 95% or higher on PC. Newer teams have other things to train, like finding caps on Strength and Speed, but I've tried to keep players on my current team around 80% until I find caps.

I'm loaded for bear and beefing up for the upcoming challenge in the Divisional round, since that's the game I've been essentially looking forward to since I joined RZA.
