When I am reading this it seems you are not ready to really compete next year either

But glad there is a masterplan in place and working :-)

Guys help me out here, in my last game I punted from opp12 instead of kicking a FG.

The play was this one: Q2 4:33 Hubert Albrecht (P) punts the ball from opp 12 for 45, this is a touchback

This came after a 3 and 1 that resulted in tackle for loss of 1.

Of course I want to find the offending rule but when I use the play checker I see this:

Am I misreading the conditions of the play here? I've checked the Game Settings and I am definitely using the Standard PB that is selected here.

Hoping to pick a few players up to come in while players are developing. My offence is way behind schedule. I'm trying to rebuild using youth.

Now maybe people can stop thinking I should be doing more than I can every year and taking the mick.

It could be as you state that you had a 3rd and 1 which resulted in a 1 yard loss, which means you were on a 4th and 2.

Personally I have FG set for inside the 40 on 4th down as standard, nothing better than getting points on the board.

That was it!

The thing is that if you want to have conditional orders in the red zone you need a maths degree to work out all the options!

Yes, it's easier to just kick FGs but what if you are behind by more than 3. I would like to be aggressive then and try to go for a TD. This requires the extra tinkering but since this cost me the game (lost by 1 point) and subsequently caused a 10% TC hit as it was a lower rated opponent I lost to, I am wondering if your statement is not better in all situations

True and true...
Both points made could be right, nobody knows if the other way would have been better. See Steelers in the NFL trying 3 2PT without "needing" it (for a tie or something).

Good luck to all the teams involved in the Play Offs. I hereby promise to refrain from making Q1 drama queen posts in this forum
