3 days until I can do some stuff that will really help or really hurt the new owner.

Too many 3up candidates. I can push it some a year with 5th year options but they gotta be declared before any IRL extensions. Keeps a team relevant for a year more but if they wanted a clean slate they'll need to wait a year.

It will have to wait until the new workbook is finished and the new transaction thread is posted. Which I think at earliest came on January 9th and latest like January 12th from my memory.

like Scoundrel just said, it's going to be a couple weeks before you can do any of that

I don't think Rome is coming back from this deficit, guys

I don't think it was as bad as you made it out to be but I was also a bit on the nicer side. There were just enough little things everywhere that IRL it could be a close game but Anchorage just checked off almost every box even just a bit ahead of Rome on individual votes. Closer than the voting shows. What ultimately hurt was that Rome was also a bit too predictable with their gameplan. Even the run game they tried to put more of wasn't really that much of a change. Our DBs were injured so it hurt us. Anchorage had it on lock though. Rick obviously didn't like Anchorage's offense but it was more balanced and still had some playmakers. The TE position and depth were a bit lacking but injuries did some of that.

We all had injuries at this point none bigger than DV losing their QB. We were without the following players who were all contributors this season at some point

Jonathan Taylor
Kyle Pitts
Terence Steele
Vita Vea
Sam Hubbard
Cole Holcomb
Jaylon Johnson
Kristian Fulton

And then of course some depth guys

DJ Humphries
Derek Stingley Jr
Kam Curl

I'll get the new discussion thread up 1/1 most likely but as already stated you won't need to rush any actual transactions because workbooks and threads will come later. Everyone likes a breather.

I should have congratulated you. My bad. Congrats. Great season. And hey, PR voted for you. Like I said before, I think most people don't think it was a blowout, just it seemed enough things went the other way just enough, or the one apparent flaw bigger than the other's flaw.

Congratulations @Scoundrel on a well deserved win.

Congratulations @bcb1213 on a good season. Unfortunately I think this matchup was one that played against your strengths with his secondary. If your RB situation and perhaps some type of TE threat was more consistent, the outcome could literally have been flipped.
