Schedule

[David-Montreal]

Week 14... Montreal @ Frankfurt.

Naturally....

Let's anylize Montreal's away schedule, not looking past any of the otehr opponents, but....

Week 2: at Berlin
Week 5: at San Antonio
Week 9: at New York
Week 14: at Frankfurt


Frankfurt's schedule in comparrison is a cake-walk. 

Montreal hear-by declares we move back to our French native land and become the Bordeaux Machine, thus playing in the Euro-trash Conference.

Well i must admit on paper you look to have a difficult schedule, however just like in the NFL when you first see your teams schedule you think you know what are the easy and what are the hard games but often its the other way round.  Your team beats the 'hard' teams and then loses to the 'easy' teams.

Obviouslky in the FWL its different though !

Its a pity the way the software creates the schedules, i hate seeing teams play each other twice in two weeks and the fact that some teams never play others at all in the schedule, then again it creates some good rivalries for the teams you always face.

The Week 14 game did suprise me as Frankfurt and Montreal dont meet that often.

Just like the EFC appears to be easier than the AFC in time it'll be the reverse.  A while back Frankfurt/Rhein/Austria were the big 3 the EFC with hardly any huge teams in the AFC.

Until Montreal dominated the previous 8 FWL Bowls were won 6 times by the AFC.  Since then its 4-1 to the AFC the last 5 FWL Bowls.

my german division starts for the second year in row with week 1 all away, if you start at home in week one it is easier to win, when you start with a victory it easier to conitue teh season (this not the case for R-D, most of the years they start good and end with a lossing record). The admirals have never had a home game in week 1. The admirals always play three times against the Montreal/Sacremento/San Antonio division. we all know it that is how the programme works just like that one team of the Montreal division only plays once against it own division instead of twice

I think its quite good Montreal on paper have a tough schedule !

In the NFL the Superbowl champs 'normally' get a hard schedule

uuuuhhhhh week1: BER @ AUS

i like that...... a big one for me to start with thoughts of revenge regrading the wildcard-game......... yep. Andreas, watch out.....

plus:
3 homegames in the first 4 weeks....
plus:
3 homegames in a row (8-10) and 3 awaygames in a row (11-13)

boy oh boy David. it seems that AUS is the "positive mirror" of MOn regarding the schedule. my 2 american teams i have to face are OH and SAC, very very beatable.... yip.

i like that schedule.... every detail of it....

San Antonio are a favourite this year but 3 away games in the last 3 weeks will be very tough

Yep nice schedule for you Mario.  Before anyone says anything the schedule is 100% computer generated ! I havent a clue how to change it !

[Mario ADK]

Cheers to the almighty Computer! skol!

Oooo, I've got the mighty Surge at home in week 1. Should be a good a test as to whether the Surge are on their way back, or if Paris are back on their way back down.

By the way, the Surge are the only team never to have beaten Paris (except SA, who haven't even tried).

[Paul-London]

Well being at home i think you have the advantage, i still think Sacramento have a very good team but last year everything just went wrong, the defense fell apart despite previous seasons being fine.

Its quite fun rebuilding really, being the 'worst' team in the league i should start young QB Rob Adamson this year as i have nothing to lose but i do really like Bouman, hes got a good streak of 3000 yard passing seasons going.  Thankfully a lot of my veterans retired which was good as otherwise i would have had the tough choice of perhaps cutting them, i'm a sucker for veterans though so i'm glad they went instead of me benching/cutting them.
