Well done jg.

Nothing against the way you play I just wish Pete would reduce the advantage SG formations have as I am sure that teams playing them too much would see D's pick them up and cause more fumbles by the FB's and takeaways from the WR's.

I saw it a lot in the Elite League and it doesn't appear to make much difference what defense you put up the yards keep being gained.


I have not always used it. But realized the team's winning run it.

Looking at the box stats and I can totally see why Bovakian makes that comment. The idea was / is that karma / lopsided penalty would deal with this?

EDIT: also not blaming jggreen for using this tactic, it's just good research / scouting on his behalf

My opponent threw out of SG4 71 times (for 436 yards) and ran out of wishbone 8 times...and nothing else.

I did have three interceptions in the second half but to me the lopsided penalty doesn't seem to have a huge impact. The stats per quarter (yards per catch) were pretty similar through the game.

(small sample size I know )

Unless you have 7 Richard Sherman clones playing for your team it's hard to defend!

EDIT to add:

This is what the manual says "Having a playbook, showing strong signs for lopsided tactics: the defense gets a small advantage."

In fairness you only scored 10 points and my offense has nothing or little to do with defense.

Bova's Week 3 Predictions
Alligators over Llamas
Apes over Sultans
DV over Jac
Fliger over Swifts
Narann over Patriots
Nightcrew over Stompers
Plumbers over Falcons
Gaming over Steel
Cardinals over PGI
Machine over Engineers
Wolves over SQUALES
twh over Miners
Divers over UNTOUCHABLES
Thangs over Pirates
Wolflings over Rebels
Xu Da over Bolts

As Beckos appears to be broken I will no longer be keeping a running score this season.

Wolflings loss is unexpected. Some close games that were close to an upset perhaps. The new teams are really pulling their weight...nice to see!
