Buddy your obsession with me is getting a bit creepy. Here's a link on that which may help you. Help Buddy While your point about Beckos being off is the one correct point that you make your point on starting an underdog narrative is so uninformed. I have ran with an underdog narrative consistently starting 3 seasons ago when I first promoted up to Thunder. If you follow the forum once or twice a month you would have known that. So no I am not starting the narrative but continuing a tongue in cheek that those that actually follow and participate in the Thunder forum know. The only time you can come over to our forum is when you see on the main forum page that I made a post? Last edited on 2016-09-01 23:00:10 by thomastem |

Eiskomitee, there is a difference in tanking and deciding to train young players. I tanked one game against a bot. From the time I joined RZA I have voiced how bad I think bots are as they currently run for our game. I might as well cheat at solitaire at my kitchen table and win every time as play against a bot. Tanking against a bot also does not affect any playoff races. As for tanking in my league games in my opinion that is false. At the beginning of the season I saw that my team was in a position where it needed a rebuild. I have 7 stars retiring at end of season so I decided to sell my .5 million dollar QB and start my younger players to gain experience. NFL teams do this all the time, matter of fact all pro teams I know of get their younger players in when they determine they aren't in a playoff race. So for my league games I used a youth DC. My PBs were still top notch so these young players were playing to win. A few games we were in position late to win a league game but they did not. To answer your question, I tanked against a bot because I despise them as they currently play. I did not tank any league games against humans but did play with my youth in all games so that it was fair to all of my opponents. I played my younger guys because i came to the decision that I need to rebuild and can't compete this season. Last edited on 2016-09-01 23:01:56 by thomastem |

I played my younger guys because i came to the decision that I need to rebuild and can't compete this season. okay i didnt checked all the games...so going for rebuild and playing youngster is no problem. As i didnt know that i couldnt believe that you went out of elite with 0 wins..so thank you for your answer cause now it makes sense even its sad that it happened going upstairs taking a place for an other team.. but u won so u deserved it and it looks like it just wasnt going good 4 u was not a hate question.. im just for a few season in rza and of cause there are still some things people do i wonder about so thank u 4 giving out some information  |

I didn't think it was hate coming from you which is why I explained my decision process and the important fact that I always used my normal PBs against humans. Against the bot I attempted a FG every offensive play. Now those that follow me from forum to forum just waiting for a chance to troll they don't get an explanation, Just a mirror to look at.  |

thomastem continues to ruffle feathers all over the place
I enjoy watching the so called old guard react to the new kid on the block. It's like Chip Kelly's offense in the NFL but one that actually works |

I can't think of any coach that could have made Foles an all pro QB but Kelly did. If he gets a good GM that can get him the right pieces he'll have a successful offense again. As for ruffling feathers all I did was start a cup thread for us and tried to create a little hype to it. Never thought that any of the Elite forum posters would feel so sensitive about how I run my team that they would then read all my posts looking for an opportunity to rehash something already discussed in Elite. Maybe I should have just answered with Sponge Bob again..  Source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/a4/94/70/a4947003f4e11cf0d72c0a8eb8749295.jpg |

And now back to spread betting... |
