Despite the obvious flaws and lacking things, there's simply no better eggball game our there.

Streak Heavy seems pretty rare. Is it in any playbook besides Possession Style? I wonder if defensive lack of familiarity might have something to do with it's success.

I thought using CBs as DEs was the latest rage. Fortunately, overusing eight to ten plays isn't an "exploit". Someone remind me ,,, nah.

Hines Ward - led the league in INTs first few games of the first season of Champions

Of course, I learned how from playing against one of the most shrill anti-exploit crusaders. Y'all have traitors in your ranks, and they're laughing as they rack up LCs. Oh, the hypocrisy ... :)

You have a point: Without the punt blocks and WR interceptions, how would you win a game? At 2-7, you need all the help you can get, and it's just too difficult to improve through roster management, play selection and gameplanning.

I have no problem with building that team. I inherited it after someone else didn't like their allocation draft. It had a terrible initial camp. That team sucks right now. They haven't blocked a punt or tried to. I used Hines as effectively as possible before his stats tanked.

Don't invite your elitist "f**k everybody who hasn't been here for three or more years" league-surfing pals, and you can beat me there for a while.

You've got a point. You've built a well-earned reputation on picking the right plays and running them over and over. Anyone who experiments outside that formula or plays differently than that is a cheater.

Yes. We've been talking about it in the Champions League Forum, I believe. (Might be wrong on which league thread.)

The Pass Catching ability is making them a viable defender in certain situations. Their lack of coverage ability allows for big gains, however.

One of punisher's teams was using a WR as a CB #3, if I'm not mistaken.

punisher, care to help me find the link where this is discussed? I'd appreciate it!


Is this is a league where punisher has 15+ DBs on the roster?

And I inherited a 6-10 team and [insert excuses here] ...

Shame you left your 14-2 team in Anarchy after setherick and I showed up in your division.

I was looking forward to getting "learning experiences" from both of you. I'm glad you and Crazy remember that I invited you (and setherick) to that league, with that express intent. You're both welcome.

Unfortunately, BP and MM are going to kill that league too if they get the chance. I'm not putting effort into further building a team just so they can kill it.

Why do I get pulled into all Forum flame wars? I don't intentionally start any.
