Week 5 Discussion

[roadrash]

I wrote up a big post about otday's game, but it didn't take. I've been working on the db all day. I am to the point where I can upload the data, but I havn't.

I am taking my time on trying to make sure I get it right. There are a few speed bumps in the process, but I have plans for them. I hope to have data that was available in 2k4 up by the weekend. The only thing that might not be there is injuries, which is now stored in transactions, which I need to code to pull out and put in the injury table, or rewrite the code to pull it from the transaction table.

Also, transactions as a whole are a bit wierd in 2k7. They now have a "stage_id" assigned. Unfortunately, Jim did not consult with me on what stage numbers I was using for the offseason, so I have to redo the transaction system for the web as well.

Then, eventually, I should be able to add the code to display the new data. I actually can't wait to see a "red flag" stats page!

I will also have to do some minor tweaks here and there to get it up and running

gg Vermont. with only 6 rushing attempts i think i went a LITTLE too pass heavy, lol. running D remains like swiss cheese.

Hehe, for some reason teams seem to want to do that to me.. despite me having, statistically, one of the best pass defenses in the league.. but.. oh well.. keep doing what you're doing guys

Crawford sure did appreciate your defense though..:mrgreen:

Get a punt blocked early that turned momentum to Hartford. Then we spend the rest of the game getting untimely penalties and get crushed in field position.

Sounds like some hassles left to knock out. Thanks for the work though man.

I am not sure what the deal is with that actually. It happens to my team as well. Look at the Oakland game for the Toads. It seems they could have run all over my team going off of the rough stats, yet they ran very, very little. I am guessing score comes into that some, and other gameplanning options I guess.

I have the number one pass defense in the league right now, yet I get the ball thrown at me. This is not the first season this has happened for the Toads either. It seems like whenever our defense is good, that is how it goes, good pass D that teams keep throwing at.

I would love to see a chart showing the most lopsided division series in the league's history. No matter how good Boston is or how bad Hartford is, we always seem to beat Boston.

That said, I think we were lucky to escape this game with a win. We're not as bad as our record, but our defense needs an overhaul.

[SteveBsFan]

Dude close game? You should be shitting your pants for coming away with that victory...we handed the game to you in 2nd half! :spank:

Well considering we were handing you the game in the first half, I think it balanced out

I know in my division, We have St.L and Lou who are 12-2 each against Murf and St.L is 12-3 against Lou. If not for my team, I think St.L would easily have the most lopsided divisional record in the league by far.

Looking at all teams, HAR, AQU, IWC, LRK, NFK, and STL are the only teams who have double digit wins over more than one divisional opponent. With 2 more wins over Norfolk for you, and 2 more wins over Cleveland for IWC, you two teams will be the only teams in the league to have double digit wins vs your entire division.

[VitoStallion]

The Toads defense is holding the team up, and gets another win. The offense does just enough when needed to help out the defense.

Vito, good game. Close, low scoring game until the end there.

Given has been upgraded, so one more game then the bye week. Hopefully he can come back and play after that bye week.

Gee Cringer, you're welcome to ride my Stallions anytime. ARGGGGGGGGGGGHHH , I hate losing and I still can't figure out why I'm not running the ball more effectively or as frequently as I'd like

[Ragin]

The Seals kicked our ass and that's all I have to say about that.

[Matt]

I don't know how, but we lose again. Key fumbles in the opponents red zone and what not. We are just not meant to win.
I was a little upset on Sunday after watching the games, so I took a breather. I just don't know what else to do. Statistically I'm a top half offensive AND defensive team. Key turnovers are destroying us, and I don't know how to gameplan against that.

This is burning me up. Too much stress for me to handle in my life right now. I'm supposed to be having fun. I've got to keep telling myself that.

[Matt]

just checked and we are 12th in yards gained and 11th in defensive yards allowed........and winless. lol

One of the teams in the IHOF was in the top 10 in defense and offense this last year and finished 6-10.

where?

[Warhammer]

It was Tucker, he might have finished just outside the top 10 in the categories, but I'm pretty sure he was top 10 in both. I can't find the stats since I am at work and with the change to albion as commish the stats on the site have not been updated.
