Title: What a difference a year makes (in Europe)

Talk about a reversal of fortunes. Last year was all EFC East, all the time. Austria, the West division winner, only managed a .500 record.

Code:


East Division
               W  L  T   PF   PA   Stk   Home   Away    vs Div   vs Conf
Frankfurt     12  2  0  442  314    W2  7-0-0  5-2-0     4-2-0    9-2-0
Berlin        11  3  0  345  273    W1  5-2-0  6-1-0     4-2-0    8-3-0
Amsterdam      9  5  0  304  292    W3  4-3-0  5-2-0     2-4-0    6-5-0
Rhein          6  8  0  280  295    L1  4-3-0  2-5-0     2-4-0    5-6-0

West Division
               W  L  T   PF   PA   Stk   Home   Away    vs Div   vs Conf
Austria        7  7  0  305  337    L1  5-2-0  2-5-0     6-2-0    7-5-0
Paris          6  8  0  311  315    L3  4-3-0  2-5-0     4-4-0    5-7-0
Barcelona      6  8  0  307  338    W1  2-5-0  4-3-0     4-4-0    5-7-0
Scottish       4 10  0  301  351    L2  4-3-0  0-7-0     3-5-0    4-8-0
London         4 10  0  278  340    W2  3-4-0  1-6-0     3-5-0    3-9-0

This year, the West could have two 10-game winners and the East could be won by an 8-6 team, whereas a West team could go 8-6 and miss the playoffs.

Code:

East Division
               W  L  T   PF   PA   Stk   Home   Away    vs Div   vs Conf

Amsterdam      8  5  0  295  270    W1  3-3-0  5-2-0     3-2-0    6-4-0
Berlin         5  8  0  228  297    W1  3-4-0  2-4-0     3-2-0    4-6-0
Rhein          4  9  0  199  237    L2  1-5-0  3-4-0     2-4-0    4-6-0

West Division
               W  L  T   PF   PA   Stk   Home   Away    vs Div   vs Conf

Paris          7  6  0  279  260    L1  5-2-0  2-4-0     5-3-0    6-5-0
Barcelona      3 10  0  178  296    L8  2-4-0  1-6-0     2-5-0    2-9-0
Scottish       3 10  0  212  289    W2  2-4-0  1-6-0     1-6-0    2-9-0

Trivia note: The EFC West hasn't had two 10-game winners since Season 6 (Austria/Barcelona.) The only other time was Season 2, when it was Austria/London.

More trivia: When the EFC East was five teams, in neither year did the division have two 10-game winners.

The five-team AFC West, on the other hand, has done it three times, most recently in Season 12 with an astonishing three teams with 10 or more wins (SA, MON, SAC.)

I think the Montreal Machine winning side of that year is probably one of the best teams of all time. Had i think one of the hardest schedules ever yet still won it all.

Looking at the dvisions i thought Austira would be rising up as Mario is so active and after a few seasons i thought he would be winning again. Frankfurt have rebuilt well, they had a bad start to this year but do look very good

I think Rhein and Berlin are approaching a rebuilding stage, definately Rhein. Berlin showed this week what they can do if they have a constant rushing attack to help the offense. Michael Black wasnt having a huge year but he was far better than Omar Bacon who showed so much promise two years ago but now looks very poor.

I think teams such as Austria and Mexico will get even better as they are young teams, scarily also New York.

San Antonio i know Jasons very loyal to his players so i'm sure for the next few seasons its Bishop/Alexander/Williams/Looker which is scary !

Montreal have done a good bit of rebuilding in past years, changing HB and the d-line and some young players at LB. Wuerrfel still is a great QB but sooner or later age will catch up. Interesting to see the teams change in the FWL
