2012 - "Annointed Twelve" Rankings

[Cringer]

I certainly felt dominated by the two, though my memory could be making it worse than it was. Especially Bond, who was making plays on my non-WRs and driving me ape-shit all game. I remember constantly thinking "If Bond is covering X player then here's an idea: THROW THE FUCKIN' BALL TO GREENE OR GLOVER!!!" Of course when we threw the ball to Greene or Glover then Bond was there too.

You certainly might be right on the seasonal stats but for the 1 game against me these two traumatized me. :injured:

Ok, maybe I haven't explained myself clearly. I think I am making sound like I think they are not great, game changing players. They are. I was just drawing the comparison to my teams, and how the team just wins, and it isn't always from player X getting 2 INTs and player Y having 3 TD receptions.

Watt had 12 receptions on you. The game before that it was Gomez who had 8 to lead Texas, and Watt only had 4. Before that Texas had Trimble return a INT for 6 and there were not really any impressive stats on offense. Against Tulsa they had 4 rushing TDs from two RBs who combined for 120 yards rushing.

That is what I am saying. They mix it up, and they win in different ways. The huge stats are not always there, but as was the case against you and Tulsa there were some stand out guys. And they are scoring a lot, in different ways.

I've found that balance,cohesion and good back-up's are the key to my teams. Here is a summary of my teams that are in a active season.

CFL-NED--13-2 PPGF-28.9 PPGA-15.4
IFL-TEX---5-0 PPGF-36.0 PPGA-19.8
EFL-NED---6-2 PPGF-27.8 PPGA-12.9
DFL-ATL---5-1-1 PPGF-29.9 PPGA-15.6
SHI-TUC---5-7 PPGF-17.8 PPGA-23.6
AVG-28.1 AVG -17.5

Tucson in the Shiba league, after starting 4-2 have went 1-5 due to major injuries to 4 starters.
My point is, I try to bring in a fairly average team across the board. All these teams are about 3-4 seasons into my "plan" and I think it's working. I'd rather have two 50/50 players than one 70/70 player. I have other secrets that I can not reveil. Other than the big dose of luck.;-)

I've got to agree with Texas' and Little Rock's take on the game -- good to very good players, little turnover and lots of depth has been the Norfolk formula.

... once structured, age will come to haunt the built-up cohesion in any season but usually no more than one or two holes need to be mended. But now my team is held together by duct tape as the normal one or two holes has mathematically exploded. Still a good approach to the game ... it has served the Vipers well.

Trying to find a way to get back on the train.

Tulsa is getting less respect then I thought they would. Top four is unchanged, with Newark and Norfolk moving on up....
