Looks like you may be playing me in the playoffs, Captain. It has been a long time since we met in a playoff game, I think 2 years in RL?


It has been 2 yrs in RL and you had a different team then I believe (although with the same name).

As for playoffs it is not 100% certain. If SAS lose (unlikely) and I win then I win the division. If SAS win and Spaceballs beat me then they would play you as they have a better points difference. I hope we get to meet because it will be a rematch of 2 yrs ago and it's always good playing against old friends.

Well you have had a good season and got your team back into the shape it should be. I think, that apart from a couple of random losses I have got my team on the way back following the end of last season devastation. I think I need at least another season in 1.1 but that's not going to stop me from going all out in the playoffs.

Best of luck (unless you play me )

Yes, I had a different team back then, for some reason I was away for a month and the team went bot. I am still upset about that honestly...

Here is hoping you can take the division, or at least meet me in the playoffs at some point, it would be nice to restart our rivalry again

I am going to have to make some changes in my team, cut down on spending a bit, because I am slowly but surely burning through my cash reserves, and that is not a good thing even if it is leading to more wins. So I have some careful considerations to be made this off season.

I know what you mean. I am still upset about losing half of my team at the end of last season.

Anyway it looks like the old rivalry is back as we do get to meet in the playoffs. It was a disappointing last game of the season for me as we got beat so badly at home, especially after winning the away fixture.

But (not talking specifically about this game) there seems to be much more randomness these last two seasons. You cannot rely on what you could previously rely on. So it is difficult to plan because how do you defeat randomness? (It also annoys me that whenever I am intercepted it is either in my red zone or when I am in my opponents red zone. Conversely when I intercept them it always seems to be in the middle of the field)

Anyway I shall be putting together a plan for our game - although bearing in mind what I have said I won't be spending a whole day on it. Best of luck for the future

The Gators and Aliens will finally meet again!

I have made a few alterations to my normal gameplan, it is hard to decide what to a l t e r though, as it has served me fairly well up to this point, and I would hate to make a change that leads to defeat

Best of luck to you mate, and I eagerly await our match in The Swamp!

well missed out on the playoffs this season, but did better than I thought I would.

Congrats to the Dukes for winning the division, you had a great season and good luck in the playoffs.

Time to sort my team out and get ready for next season.

Good luck to all those in the playoffs, I will be watching from the stands like all the other punters .

You beat me in the 9 previous games and I'm very happy I could break that streak . I did make some adjustments for the last game and I'm glad it worked out well. And you get to play the Gators in the wildcard game which wouldn't have happened if you had won .

Well done. You played a good game and your team has really come on this season. I wasn't complaining about losing just expressing my disappointment.

This has been a frustrating season for me, losing half of my team in the off-season. Still having said that I have managed to remain competitive. It's just that I had hoped for more.

If I beat the Gators then my 'reward' is to play away to Burnaby although you get SAS against whom you have lost twice this season. So not great for you either - although at least you get to face a bot first so are guaranteed another game.

We *could* even end up meeting again in the conference championship.

Even losing half of your team you managed to built a strong team and compete for the divisional championship until the last regular season game. To be honest I secretly hoped you wouldn't be so strong this season, but what you achieved is pretty amazing .
Well, if you beat the Gators, you'll face Burnaby who lost against the Gators. I suppose it'll be close game.
I beat SAS twice last season and lost twice this season. Maybe I'll be more lucky 3rd time this season.
Our division has 3 of the 4 best teams of the conference, so it wouldn't be much of the surprise if 2 of them would make it into the conference finals.

What a heartbreaking loss in the Wildcard game...

I tweaked my playbook a bit and it worked through the first half, but in the second half I had to watch my team start running the ball on third and 7 with less than 10 minutes left and trailing by 3...

Obviously my playbook is still not where I want it to be, but after keeping the game so close, as well as looking back at some of my other games I won this season, I am very pleased with the progress my team made this year.

Now to go figure out how to improve it even more next year...
