Overall, not a bad team considering what I had to start with. Unfortunately, ALL of the power is in the AFC (Colts, Dolphins, Patriots, Ravens, Broncos, Raiders) so it's going to be a tough conference to win.
Ironically, my first opponent is the Dolphins. As mentioned on that thread, they basically have the same beast roster. Perhaps the biggest weakness exploitable is Gruden's Tampa 2, in the past I've had success against the Cover 2.
I'm not sure what I expect out of game 1. Should be interesting.
