What a way to start the season

OT in the first game

Lions didn't deserve to lose

Slow start tonight but a really good second half was enough for the win. Just 15 more like that will do.

Very close game - only 7 punts total by both teams. Pretty important early win.

Tough schedule this season ...
Ducks for the first game and we almost did it. We have to blame a couple of missed occasions. That's why the one-point loss hurts so much.
On the positive side, I necer expected Lakers to stay in a game like this against a playoff contender. Some good news to build the season on.

Congrats to Ducks for a solid comeback in the 4th quarter

Michael Fiore, third overall pick in the elite draft, had a pretty decent first start, with 8 catches for 71 yards. Once he gets some experience on the field, I'm hoping he's going to be unstoppable.

78 plays of SG4 (all outside) vs 3-3-5 = 1 pick ... Give me a break D

And your D gave up 20 less points than mine! But yes, I was surprised I scored that many points, and disappointed I conceded that many. My D has been a strength, guess it shows just how far we still have to go.

You need to work on your D game plan. That sort of game plan probably isn't going to work well in 1.1. Both your O and your D are very easy to scout. Pete will probably eventually fix the flaw with SG4 that makes it unstoppable (despite the veteran teams that rely on it which have been lobbying against any fixes). But at a minimum, I'd up your defensive planning a bit. I usually scout the last 4-6 games of my opponents to figure out what they will likely call each game.

For once I agree with Rock and especially the bold part. That offensive playbook is too easy to scout. If teams scouted you last season and you was still winning it was because they didn't have the ability to stop you this season you'll be afforded no such luxary. While other teams argue incrrectly that the Admirals isn't the best league in RZA what the majority agree on is that the strength of the other leagues go nowhere near as deep as the Admirals.

You're both absolutely correct. I have done no work on my playbook and I know that is going to screw me over more than anything else while I'm up here. Its just getting the time/inclination to do something about it.

A Desaster in the first game. I have not done my LineUp and my tactics...
So I have played all standard.

Hope we can fight back again in a complete new division.
