WFLukic Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Williamsport's team has ended up looking better than I thought it would during the offseason, but it's still not enough. While I'm not as bullish as most on the Portland lineup, that backfield is so good and there's enough on defense to prevent Williamsport from getting going. 27 Portland - 16 Williamsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the secondary wasnt eligible to play. But yeah, my team doesnt stack up. Let's call it like it is. Everyone saw the roster, saw CMC and PM and said, yep they win. I mean come on. 2 other teams didnt get votes because they didnt show up . Mind you I am still learning the gameplan writeups but because I'm not a professional coach and instead I described my intent, I got out voted 15-0 despite actually making an effort .. okay that's cool Edited September 11, 2019 by wwhickok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ftr his guys are eligible. If they are active and play 0 snaps that just means they suck. This would almost definitely be a shoot out and I penalized him quite a bit for a trash secondary. Someone’s gotta win and when I don’t see either team making too many stops, it comes down to which offense has a greater fail rate. And I’m sorry to say but that’s yours in this game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I dont get is that I didnt even get a single vote. But I dont particularly see a specification on how we have to evaluate matchups so, believe me, I'm taking notes.

VigilantZombie Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) At this point, I am more focused on locking down Trades. I'm over it. Time to move on to my next 15-0 loss. Edited September 11, 2019 by wwhickok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will likely happen again this season. You just take the L and move on. In your case, simply put, at this stage, your squad probaby isn't good enough to compete with an offense like Portland. But that's why you're aiming at a rebuild I guess, which is fair. To me, you really lack difference makers up front. Maybe Burns and/or Williams become that, but right now they aren't. And if you look at every other BDL team, they all have at least one player that does that. Cuba - Cox / Gotham - Watt & Jones / OKC - Von / NO - Atkins / Singap - Donald / Seoul - Jarrett / IC - Mack / Rome - Dunlap / Anchorage - Jordan / Hawaii - Clark / Hungary - Graham / Berlin - Lawrence / Camden - Chandler Jones among others. As for matchup evaluation, it's really up to you on how to decide the outcomes of the games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Like I said. It's clearly all about the 'names'. I'm looking forward to going 0-16. Should've just kept my first and not drafted Devin Bush. Oh well. Here is to a 3 season tank-rebuild. I wrote up my gameplan for week 2. Probably wont bother sending it.

Eh just blame your situation on the previous owner that's what I did. But it will get better and it will feel so good when you finally smack down that one guy in a close game. I really debated quitting after losing to the same guy 3 times in a row in a single season (3rd was playoffs) that was crushing but here I am now being the crusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB and QB you said. Barkley and Wilson are huge names at those positions versus Ingram and Cousins. But that’s okay live to fight another week.
