GG Eagles, Bleeding Beta has me wondering why I even try to use the passing game, I think that's what the "Bleeding" refers to, was cringing every time Cooper dropped back to pass, especially on short yardage situations. At this point in the season, the best QBR in the league is 84 with 15 TDs & 14 ints. Interception leader, CB Elias/Panthers has 14. Sack leader has 25 !! 11 yr vet, DE Paulsen/Colts. Sacks & Picks are way up vs 4.5 reg game version.

But in the LC in the other beta league had only 2 sacks and 1 hurry. Their qb had regular season stats within the current nfl range while ours struggled with a 78 qbr. Turns out that game our QB completes 90% of passes and has a playoff qbr above 100. Imo there is just different money plays but I am in full agreement that the code is defensive minded.

Good defensive game Dolphins! Neither team made it to the red zone starting from their side of the field. TOs were the diff.

GG grandad! We did everything we wanted except recover some fumbles and make some kicks. We generated 9 hurries....no sacks but it neat to see results change when you face different opponents. You guys got sacks early but our line tightened this up. I wonder if it was cause we added those plays to the book last night . Good luck the rest of the way!

The "Cemetary" and "Graveyard" defenses played up to their billing, especially in the scoreless first half, thanks to the missed FG. Was really surprised on the 2nd missed FG. And totally shocked that Cooper didnt throw a pick, especially under pressure and against that very good secondary. Guess the Pokes caught a good sim/rolls, thats about what it comes down to for evenly matched teams.

Thanks thanos! Good game!

The Cardinals are always a pesky team for us.

Will need some luck to get by the Cowboys.

GG mwd/Bucs, we got the early lead and the "Graveyard" did its usual job. You might have had a chance late to get within one score, but no chance kicking FGs when down more than 15, need a rule for that. Congrats on a strong season, and next.
