Oh good grief.....I just watched the division round game between NYG and us, the Saints...we had the game in the bag, or at least a chance in OT, and the QB fumbles....it was a great game though Alan. I've never really used Solevision until now, and its a fantastic way to go over a game. Lots of drama.
Oh my goodness....just watched the end of the NFC Championship game...Alan.....throwing the ball inside the 20 with less than 1 min to go down by 3? Ack you have to be pissed! Well that and blowing an 11 point lead in the 4th...
GG Ben. Interestingly, I dont think i wouldve won with standard sims. I took a risk and gameplanned solely against ATL's extremely talented team even though i wouldnt see them until the bowl. Im pretty sure Ben didnt even look at my roster for his. Had he gameplanned for me... I probably wouldve been blown out. Ill still take it tho :-). Not gonna lie im not very excited about next season... without the draft (my fav part) it seems like 90% of my time in this league will be spent bidding on FA's (my least fav part)
But the sheer number and quality of the FAs that are available should lead to some very interesting financial quandaries. Do you drop big money on one prospective stud, or do you pick and choose.. Do you look for that diamond in the rough in FA2 or go with proven veterans in FA1?
Do you re-sign an aging player in the last year of his contract, or do you bank on replacing him with someone younger and cheaper with more potential who may bust?
This opens the door to so many different GM options and may be even more interesting than the original dispersal session we used to begin this league because it will recur every season and planning ahead will be critical.
I love every facet of this gem of an idea because of all the questions it inspires.
