DBUpdater is taking a while. I'm not sure I'll do these every four week updates like I thought, but we'll see.

With this method of posting I can't stall for solevision or I drive myself crazy..

Very disappointed at our performance after 8 games.

Well Wade, the "good" news is that I don't see doing it this way any more after this. It's just taking too long. In the future, I think I'll just run the season, post the file, and then run DBUpdater one long time after that.

It's taking longer than I can just wait around. Simmed through Week 17. File coming soon. DBupdater will probably take a half hour or so this time.

7-1 in the final 8 games helped turn the season around.

He wanted BIG money and an additional 2 years on his current deal. Seeing as we just paid Covington big bucks to sign with us...no, we didn't have the room. And, it isn't particularly easy to try and negotiate with so few sims as I didn't want the AI to mess with my roster before the season sim.

I think this exercise will be a good lesson for some people about tinkering game to game.

I sweep the season series from Baltimore yet end up behind them in the standings?

Glad it didn't cost me a playoff spot...

Well, this is proving to be fairly interesting for testing purposes. With the novelty offense we're running here (and a capable but not off-the-charts set of receivers) it appears we can pretty much suit up any hobo and get him to post good numbers. if we actually had QB talent, we might really be dangerous.

Some profound surprises from the Ravens defense this year, I'm going to tempt fat and make major changes for the playoffs. I can't imagine regretting that. *shurg*

I can relate to your comment about QB talent. If I actually had someone competent there, I think I'd have a pretty decent team!

7-9 is about what I hoped out of the season but it still hurts my butt to finish 1 game out of a playoff spot when i know i flat out blew about 3 or 4 games at the end.

My QB has 1 more season to make something of himself.

well, we did better than we thought @ 6-10. The only thing I hate about the new format is not being able to adjust my defense, we had the #3 D in the league last year and id like to think it was due to my planning each game.

We had some single season records broken this past season.

Baltimore shattered several passing and receiving records:
QB Heath broke the Completions mark with 458 (437 2016)
WR Shellhaas set the new Receptions mark with 138 (121 2015)
WR Shellhaas also set the TD mark at 19 (18 2020)

KC's CB Dixon broke the 15 yr old Punt Return TD record with 3 (2 2008)
CB Dixon also broke the 13 yr old Punt Return Yds record with 855 (773 2010)
