GG Phaldun - honestly I gave up when you scored at halftime.
All the penalties made it unwatchable for me.. and your defense was playing light's out.
Was surprised to see we won the game with 3 picks and 12 penalties for 80yards but obviously getting picks on back to back possessions in the 4th quarter gave us a few extra chances to knock one into the end zone.

You're doing a great job, there should be some post-season action coming your way!

Before our game I didn't put much stock in it because currently I am more worried about the Witches. After the clock hit zero, I was very agrivated because we almost knocked off the champs in their own stadium, but just like Brandy says.. "Almost doesn't count."

Then with that irritation I proceeded to write something stupid..... As I thought more....it quickly became obvious that I was simply bitching about the mouth because we lost.

No worries, we've all been bitten by the frustration from time-to-time.
Keep playing like you are and there's going to be a lot more Ws and a lot fewer Ls in the future to get bothered by!

Good game, Stampede. To lose in overtime on a turnover is disappointing to say the least.

GG Phal. I thought the first half was ugly, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Good Game Spartans. Looking at the boxscore...not sure I want to watch the game.

Good luck the rest of the way

Ive never seen my old veteran RB Letson take off on large runs the first two offensive plays like that. After every game Letson always needs his walking cane. Many teams give up when they get blown out in the first half, but your squad is different. The last time we scored was in the second quarter. Your defense did tighten up significantly and had me quirking an eyebrow back and fourth between the clock and your score. I am surprised that we kept you out of the end zone. I don't quite understand the settings in the MISC game planning. No matter what I set it at, it seems that my coach will still call mostly run plays if I am winning in the 4th quarter. I do love draining the clock a bit when in this situation, but not to the extent that it becomes a run up the middle three and out most of the time. Any advice on this?

Set a rule for 4thQ leads // how you want to run your offense.

If you set Slow Down at 2, it will try to run out the last two minutes if you're up by 7. If you're up 14, it will try for the last four minutes.
You were up by 23, so a setting of 2 would mean running slow down offense for about 6:20. A setting of 5 would have covered the entire 4th quarter. Your "problem" with this setting is too much success. Stop running up the over. :)

And yes, set rules. If you're up less than 10, slow down can be a bad idea. Once you're at that point, throwing in an occasional 3-1 PA pass (for example) with a rule can put the game out of reach.

So does that mean a setting of zero would basically turn it off?

I would assume so. I've never tried that.
