I've still got TJ Logan who is (still?) a real life Tar Heel so not quite all original rosters. Man my D dropped fast. My secondary is adequate but folks will run at will against me.

Hey Sly, let me know a good time. I'm free all day today .

I should really stop posting while exhausted.

Just landed, can you go anytimes in the early afternoon (like before 3?) otherwise I could maybe do super late Thursday or Friday. And most times Saturday before 1500. All times eastern.

Sly, we have a game now. I forget your schedule, but I'm working from home today, so let me know if you have time and maybe we can knock it out early.

What an absurd game

UNC over GT 41-10 in the weirdest game I've ever seen. Cletus blocked a FG which I've never seen in any iteration. I somehow fumbled on a forward pass that my lineman caught midair. Oh yeah and cletus fumbled 6 times. Two of those were "laterals" performed right after he picked me off, not sure why that happened. I did have aggressive tackling on since that's the only way I've found to beat you but you kept fumbling on offence even when I turned it back to normal. And fumbling 6 times sucks but to lose all of them? I think EA Bullshit didn't want you to win.

That one on the screen pass - I was surprised it wasn't reviewed as being an incomplete pass. Maybe I should have challenged it.

That one was a shocker. I don't think the ref makes "virtual" mistakes in user games though, I don't think a challenge ever is successful. Not sure I've had any success against the CPU either, I just wait for the booth to request a review.

Oh I forgot to add how you got completely screwed by the penalties, and some real costly BS ones too.

VT over UNC 16-7. My D played a lot better than I expected and I felt like I should have had this one but haven't had that little going on offence in a while. Who is your number #3 CB? The dude just smothers out routes while in man, it wasn't open all day (leading to the first pick, the second was me throwing just before the break and your guy somehow made it first). Everyone else was insane in man too. Do you somehow direct training? Seriously you don't even need safeties. Oh well, holding you to a slew of FGs does nothing if I can't capitalize.

Did not expect that loss NC State over UNC 20-12. I need to reevaluate a lot, I am suddenly completely unable to pass. 6 INTs. And that was with EA bullshit trying to keep me in the game.

Hmm maybe I should stop simming my games, just realized my starting DT is out for 4 weeks. Also, Z what offensive playbook do you run? I am still just running a default one since I am too overwhelmed/lazy to make my own.

Yeah I've got my own defensive playbook which works well although I'll never buy into the 4-3. I've just been using the default Virginia Tech playbook for offense which I know well but really only run like 20 plays out of. I think it's clear where my biggest weakness is when I can hold VT to 17 or Dio to 20 (despite 7 picks) but I still come away with a loss.

Miami over UNC 24-20. Good game JB, both our secondaries seemed to be on lock down giving you an absurd amount of sacks while I just flushed you a bunch. My favorite part of that game was my 88 yard drive with 8 seconds left at the half for a TD. Connecting on back-to-back Hail Marys is just silly. I feel like I'm not thinking as fast as I once that's giving me my problems with my passing game. Also the reason I just plowed into your guy at the end of the game making it 4th and 1 as a simple juke would have given me the first down and the game. It was one of my more enjoyable losses so thanks.

I was sad not to see the tar heels not ranked highly on defence. I may have to stop simming, at least this league.

Offensive lines will be a joke.

What's the verdict on the division rebalance? I know longer have a strong desire about having a protected rivalry with Dio (i.e. It's no longer a likely win and I can't afford extra losses if it's me Z and JB.)

Slywalker13

I think we should be in the same division, spliting us up and having a bowl game would be a little anemic with 6 guys. I think moving GT into the atlantic is the best plan. While I'd love to move and have a better chance to play in the championship game, I'm not sure it'd be balanced.

You know as I type this I was going to go on about how Dio's win was a fluke and I'll never throw 6 picks against him again but I'm remember now I've lost to BC as well. I still think moving GT into the atlantic is the best for balance but as the most inconsistent player, moving me isn't absurd.

I have mentioned how I hate edited posts? I missed position changes. I don't think it screwed me too much as I just got one walk-on I can't cut and stats don't increase on recruits (who are the only guys I'd move) until they've been on the team for a year. Still, it makes it quite hard to cut players while trying to mentally store what position you'd actually like them to be in.

Someone remind me next year that I need to shuffle around both true and red shirt freshmen.

I'd have to look before I agree to that, I only have like 3 linemen over 70OVR that rate me in their top 10.

I agree that those team rankings are worthless, interesting but not very predictive from what I've seen. That year where UNC lead in every defensive category (other than takeaways) what my worst rated defence. Meanwhile my two 99OVR DTs I had playing at the same time at USC were completely worthless, even on inside runs.
