absolutely agree, differences between games can be huge

The same QB that killed WW yesterday with 18 of 19 passing (although he got sacked 3 times)
passed 10 of 23 with 3 picks and also 3 sacks against the Blitzkrieg

I hope he plays like yesterday in the rematch with Steve (and both Marauder games)

One thing is that skill inflation has made teams very similar, so I think maybe random has a bigger factor than before. I think if you look at the QBs of the top-10 teams, I think you'd fine that there skills levels differences are pretty marginal.

I absolutely agree Steve, the random factors seem to matter more now that it's been made much easier to create a great team in terms of players' skills. Better draftees, Premium YA, Mediacenter money and more recently faster training all made player development much easier than when the Elite League was created.

Good game, Meitheisman. Looking like my short Elite run will end this season. A loss or two away from going to a youth movement.

Yeah...I spent a large fortune to buy Nathan Mauro back in season #12 - - maybe I over paid, but he was also part of my most dominate run, so I guess it was money well spent.

The point is, he'd have a difficult time make my current team...

Good game Dissolve!

What's up with the AC South?

Claymore to be kicked out of Elite League in favor of the Fairy Princess league?

On the other hand, in NC South, NC West and AC West we have a pretty good dogfight with each sporting 3 teams with a winning record and just 2 spots to stay in Elite

3 pretty good teams will be relegated after this season.

especially to the NC West for a long time even the NC West had a hard timer to crack .500 before the Bobbers emerged and now they could put 3 teams in the playoffs. Also 4th place Erudite had some close losses and could have been knocking on the playoff doors with a little bit more luck.

Will be an interesting gameday today:

(10-0) Black Dragons vs. (8-2) Underachieving Steamrollers
(7-3) Juggernaut Jackalopes vs. (10-0) Barmbek Cutbacks
(6-4) Motol Ducks vs. (7-3) Styrian Bears
(8-2) OrangeCrush vs. (6-4) Midnight Marauders

all games have huge playoff implications

Good game punch
Or do I need to say sorry mate after that unreal comeback

When you trail by 3 points and fail to convert a 4th and 1 on your own your own 30 with less then 6 minutes to go, you think it is a loss.
I did face first and goal from my own 6 with under 4:30 to go: ok, now it is a loss

hold the opponent to a FG: check
get the ball back
inside your own 20
less than 3 minutes remaining: check
drive down the field: check
score the tying TD
from the opp 5
with 4 seconds remaining: check
win the coin toss in OT: check
drive down the field and score a winning TD: check

tough luck mate!
but a great game and I have probably used all my luck left for the season in just one game

All that and my kicker missed a FG in regulation that would have made a late TD a non issue.

Yep I thought my team finally showed up.

Congrats. I'm certain to be relegated now.
