I get another crack at beating Setherick in a league championship, this time in the USFL/WFL. I squeaked past greyghost's New Orleans Voodoo 10-7 in the CC. If I can pull it off, it will be my first back to back championships. My New Jersey Generals are 1 point favorites over Seth's Houston Gamblers.

Thanks, should be a great game. Houston is #1 and my Generals are #2 in W-L record, power rankings and total offense, while my defense is #1 to his #13. I did lose my starting center to injury in the CC, IR eligible now. Doubt I put him on IR, have plenty of depth for the game. Might have to find a decent young player if possible. Two other starters questionable.

Houston lost a LB, one other questionable and several probables (I have 0 probable, odd for this late).

You're welcome and good luck. :) I played him early on in the season. Dig in deep, it's a thicket to cut through on what he has set up. Tough to penetrate.

Well, sir, I'm ready for a QUICK hit.

Unfortunately, I had to select a team in the same conference as you, CJ, to have any chance of competing so best case scenario is we meet in the Conference Finals. (Quick and Customizable)

Hopefully I can give you as tough as nails barrier even if we lose and ya'll continue on that old school Lellow-ian streak. :)

Welcome, glad to have you in the league. I just hope Lamba doesnt join because then my reign will be over!

Looking at Houston's 2 playoff games, both close low scoring wins, and their lone loss and it seems those teams ran some Cover 2 with success against his offense. Generals don't use those defenses, in fact I have ran the same defensive plays for several seasons. I'm a believer in "if it ain't broke don't fix it", and my defense is still stout. It may come back and bite me but I'm rolling out my usual defense.

When I have the ball, my team has very little familiarity with the defenses he uses most. He has only used 10 defensive plays all season, so they'll be scouted, but it still worries me. I'm going to need my Johnsons to hit the holes hard and get me some yards in the running game (To anyone reading this...yes I know what I just typed...my RB's are Rudi and Magic Johnson, you sicko haha).

The way I see it is I have 2 choices. I can change a bunch of stuff to try to counter Houston's strengths or I can stick with what got me to this point, and just do some tweaking to play selection and trust my team. The fact I am here typing this now tells you I'm just tweaking some stuff.

If it doesn't work, I'll lose 34-13. If it works, I'll win 19-16.

Im a firm believer in sticking with what got you there. At least if you lose, you wont second guess yourself, it just wasnt meant to be.
