Title: WOW! No Team without a loss!
Post by: Mario ADK on March 03, 2010, 09:21:52 AM
Only 4 rounds played and no team without a loss anymore???
Great!

Happy to see my team on top of the division. It was a convincing win against a 3-0-team. Good to see. But it is still a long way to make the playoffs.

I don't suppose anybody knows if this is the fastest season to no-undefeated-teams? I'd have to think it's pretty close, usually somebody's flirting with the perfect season at least through Week 8 or so.

Yeah its a surprise , you normally get the odd team doing well until week 8-10.

Nothing against Andreas but i'm surprised Berlin won last year as they didnt seem the big 'heavyweight contender', might be another 'surprise' winner this year

In fairness, even though they're "just" the #3 seed right now, Berlin is only one game out from the first seed in the EFC. (Of course, if they lose a couple of games they could find themselves behind four other teams!)

Well Berlin have done well this year considering theyre down to their backup QB (Nate Hybl is doing well after being a first round bust before) and they have a new HB

Wish someone would pick HB Avon Cobourne up though, shame to see him on the FA scrapheap, was the FWL champs leading rusher last year, 6th leading rusher with over 900 yards, this year, 0 carries and still a FA, shame

Although it's fairly realistic. He would be in his early 30s, which is when RBs start having trouble finding and keeping a job.

Still be nice to see Cobourne picked up by someone, Frankfurt/Amsterdam both have poor rushing attacks, you would think Cobourne might be signed and see what he can do

Yeah i emailed Andreas to say i didnt 'fix' anything !  Cant believe how well Cobourne did, i just wanted him on a roster as he was the RB for last years FWL champs and so it was weird he was cut and not signed by anyone

Plus with the injury he'll be starting this week, hope he doesnt let me down !

I know that the Dragons have poor rush attack, however looking at my RB's I can not blame it on them but on my Oline and not strong enough TE(s). This time I am very sure that the poor rush attack can not be blamed on the RB (his avg is 3.3 and his nr of TD's are also avg.)

Besides to lack of quality on the supporting players of the rush attack it is also a result that my nr  of rushing plays is far below avg. which is a result that most games I am walking behind the facts (due to stupid turn overs)

This year (and next year) my team is under construction which basically is that I balance my team with good starters and young talented back-ups. By signing an older FA would result that I have to cut a talented young player. If I have injured starers and a FA is better I would sign him but only the momenent my team has sufficient qualities to make it to the play offs. Maybe I am at that stage next year maybe the year after it all depends on retirements and the draft.
