USA AAA - Season 1 Playoffs [Round 2]: Centerville Utopians 22 - Gilroy 0 - FINAL

[kyleec]

This looks like a possible danger game, but their D and O lines suck nuts, so I think if we don't get complacent we can run 'em out of the stadium.

[DHawkeye]

The last time we played them it was a relatively close game (26-14), but that was back in March. As long as we don't make too many mistakes, I think we can beat 'em.

Our defense has been on a roll lately, so I wouldn't worry about having to score 40 points to win.

[manimal4life]

Good Luck guys.I was looking at your bracket and noticed a lot of lower level seeds advanced.In the Eastern Conference #2 was put out by #7,#3 was put out by #6, and # 4 was put out by #5.In the Western Conference #1 was put out by #8 and #3 was put out by #6.Hmm interesting.So 1 of every seed is left except for #3 which has none and there is 2 #6 seeds left lol.It looks like this 1,2,4,5,6,6,7,8.Almost a pattern in the playoff system.Anyways good luck in your next game.

[shakeyjake448]

I should be able to do a scouting report for this game either later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

[mad maxx]

Shouldn't we be playing the lowest seed that being #8?

[smeth]

They don't re-seed, it's like the NCAA basketball tournament

[mad maxx]

Thanks, that's good for teams that can pull an upset in the first round.

[TubbyChooChoo]

I called us vs Dayton in the Western Final...looks highly likely now.

[mad maxx]

Gilroy tries to pound the rock with their top RB and not use the backups. They don't have much depth especially on offense. We can wear these guys down. Their starters are at descent levels but the backups are very low. I say we hit them hard with our depth always have high level energy guys in there and tire them out.

[TubbyChooChoo]

Keep it going...scout these bitches up!
I want to know what the QB eats for breakfast and if the WR's girlfriend likes it doggie style or not.

[Catch28]

if the WR's girlfriend likes it doggie style or not.

only on thursdays ;)

[mad maxx]

Their RB led the league in yards and rushing TDs. Last four games he has carried the ball 34, 41, 45 and 30 times. The majority of his carries are on a pitch to the outside.

[HawaiianRush]

Good luck mates... Damn you guys are no. 2 seed, very nice... hope you guys go ALL THE WAY...

[TubbyChooChoo]

and only #2 because of their stupid tie-breakers [not head to head] points for and points against.. they had more points...we beat the #1 seed head to head dammit!
:p They lost anyway to the #8 seed!! [laugh]

What a bunch of shmucks

[borman48]

Gilroy looks better prepared for us than they did last game. They've picked up human DTs now, and they are decent, though I'm sure we can handle them well. I haven't had time to look and see if they've done much with their offense, but it used to be a lot of inside runs and deep passes. If someone can check that itd be nice... I might have time tomorrow morning if I get up early enough. (good luck with that...)

[lseknightpride]

Their starting center is level 6.
Their starting tackles are both level 7.
Their guards are 8 and 9.

THEY HAVE NO QUALITY BACKUPS.
2 centers levels 1 and 4.
1 guard level 1.
1 tackle level 3.

There pass defense is substancially better than their run defense.
This is their whole d-line (all backups)
Fatty McFat 6'5" 319lbs DT 5
Bubba Charles 6'0" 280lbs DT 7
Chain Reaction 6'6" 317lbs DT 7
Forest Redd CPU 6'3" 259lbs DE 3
Red Alert 6'4" 254lbs DE 6
John Etheridge 6'3" 274lbs DE 8


We should be able to run the ball on them to no end.

[lseknightpride]

They passed all over the place on their last opponet (the demons) although the demons has no player in the secondary above level 8.

TE Harley Davidson led the team in receptions last game. He had 7 of the 20 total. The HB had 2, and the rest were WR's.

Their corners had 11 pass deflections, 10 of them coming from the 2nd and third string guys, so I'd recommend not throwing to our WR's too much.

If we can control the direction we run then run left. Their left end is level 6 and has no backup on the depth chart. Their left outside linebacker is level 6 and has no backup on the depth chart.

[TubbyChooChoo]

Maybe next year after the tactics upgrade. :(

This is true.

Against Buffalo and Oakland they were somewhat balanced, but for the last 3 games they've been rushing the ball a lot. I would expect them to continue that trend.

Rush Distribution %

They've scored 11 TDs in their past 5 games, and 7 of them have been big plays. I linked those 7 below according to their game.

Buffalo
46.5 yd pass (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=753368)

Oakland
53.5 yd pass (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=842140)

Parma
43 yd pass (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=927916)
55 yd pass (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=928005)

Long Island
64.5 yd run (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1013318)
61 yd run (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1013560)

San Francisco
51 yd pass (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1090005)

I think it'd be a good idea for almost everyone to set their tackling to wrap-up as their running back gets a lot of big plays through broken tackles. If we can limit those big plays, we should be able to win this game. They're running gets a lot of yards on pitches so we need to prepare for that as well.

[mad maxx]

Definitely need to contain him and not let him get to the outside. Our D line can control their O line so force them to run up the middle.

Note: I've tweaked who lines up where a bit to best maximize our advantages over the Devils.
The Devils really have no depth at all and the game should punish people for that.
RB's just do not play every offensive play in a game at any level of football, period.
If the sim is realistic at all our depth will wear them down and we will run away with the game in the second half.

[TubbyChooChoo]

I just hope QB Joe Dakota keeps this shit up to compliment the run game.

[shakeyjake448]

I rearrange Ron Mexico's equipment to give him some more speed. That might help in containing their running back on those pitch plays.

Good because I am counting on your bad ass self to shut that fucker down.


Like this....

[NotreDameDan]

Well the devils are not gonna go down without a fight if we can shut down that half back which should not be that hard since our defense is incredible we will be in the third round.

[Mandibal]

It's interesting how the overall for both teams is equal yet for the breakdown of categories we are even or better in all of them. I guess 1+1 doesn't always equal 2. Sometimes it equals 1.653.

[Estes]

Look at the slight green color in kicking. That's what I'm talking about. [cool]

[bossman]

I think we should abuse the ground game- their corners and safeties are real good. Their d-line looks weak compared to our o-line.

I am confident I have come up with a solid game plan that will map the path to victory!
The Devils aren't going to know what hit them.

[smeth]

I can't believe I had a fucking dream about goalline blitz...anyways we won 14-2.
Only allowed 15 yards of offense also.
[laugh]

[Gooksta]

Laida Boom and Manny Sachs just leveled up and ready to dominate! :)

[TubbyChooChoo]

22-0 Sweet!!!!

[DHawkeye]

Another shutout by the defense, and a great day kicking by Hooking Right. Oakland upset Dayton, so now it's the Rage vs. the Utopians in the Western Conference Finals! :)

[borman48]

Fuck yes! 17 pancakes by the O-line, shutout from the defense. And Oakland FTW against Dayton. I think we've got a damn good shot at this one boys!

[#1michiganfan]

Awesome victory!! :) The defense in amazing!!

[Gooksta]

must of owned in time of possesion.. cuz Laida boom only had like 19 plays..great win guys!! lets keep it up

[FieldingBLUE]

So glad Dayton lost. We struggled with them. Bad matchup. Oakland is the #8 seed, right? Did they add a bunch of players pre-playoffs?

And the East has the #5 and #6 seeds left. We're the team to beat right now.

[DHawkeye]

Oscar led the team with 5 pancakes, and as borman pointed out, 17 total by the OL. However, we did give up our second sack of the year. Joe tossed 2 int's as well, so we'll need to work on giving him more time in the pocket to make better throws.

Luckily, DJ picked up the slack in the passing game with over 100 yards on the ground.

[Soonerfan09]

For some reason, I never really put up great numbers. 46 plays, zero stats.
Oh well, as long as we win. :)
Also, DC Warpath lost.

[TubbyChooChoo]

Also, DC Warpath lost.

I love when the big shit talkers lose! [laugh]

If you haven't won anything...zip it!

[Mandibal]

So far so good. This team is really taking it to another level for the playoffs. Well done boys! And let me say that I'm very impressed and confident in our coaching staff. You guys are doing a great job.

[TubbyChooChoo]

The playoff money is also excellent in case you haven't read the stadium/finance thread.

Today's game earned us $1,127,65.00 which we used to buy a new corner section in our stadium for next year.

$168,765.00 Concession Sales
$952,000.00 Ticket Sales [SELL OUT! With increased playoff ticket prices!]

We now get to host the Western Championship as we are the highest seed.

[smeth]

You guys should check out Oakland Rage...they are gonna be a hellavu tough test.

[GatorTD8to10]

c'mon Lee. We dont allow sacks like that around here!!!!

[fried rice]

The defense is suffocating. I didn't gain a single XP, though.

[DHawkeye]

You guys should check out Oakland Rage...they are gonna be a hellavu tough test.

Indeed they will. They don't have a lot of depth, but the players they do have are talented. The only reason they are an 8 seed is because they had a stretch where they lost 6 games in a row, and I'm pretty sure that was before they were bought by a human owner.

We'll have to pull out all the stops if we want to make it to the AAA Championship game.

EDIT: @ fried rice - Nobody got XP. It's the playoffs. :)

[shakeyjake448]

Also, DC Warpath lost.

I'm almost as happy about them losing as I'm for us winning. Those guys talk so much shit, I'm glad they're going to be in the USA AAA for one more season. I can't wait to see what they have to say now :D

With that kind of personality on the roster they'll probably break up the team...they don't wanna play for no loser! Ha!

I agree. I really hope the Brisbane Bandits lose in my divison. Those guys talk like they've already won it and say their only competition left is the Saipan Fighters.

Also, great day punting.

[Papa LoneStar]

One of the few times P.J. wasn't doubled at the line of scrimmage on a running play (http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=1128261)....they'll learn....:D

Just get me the damn ball.

[worst2first]

c'mon Lee. We dont allow sacks like that around here!!!!

I can't figure out what happened on that play. He didn't even try to take on the DE - it was almost like it was a designed double team on the DT with the HB chipping the DE. I'm not trying to make excuses but it's hard to tell exactly what was supposed to happen on that play.

[TexasAggie2323]

So who do you want to win?

So who do you want to win?

Obviously, the team that I play for in the game (rage). I think that the Utops will win on gameday though.

[ZeekLTK]

One more win and it's promotion! :p

(or are both teams who reached this game promoted?)

[TubbyChooChoo]

I believe the teams that reach the AAA championship both go up.

So only the bottom team in each division gets relegated?

[TubbyChooChoo]

So only the bottom team in each division gets relegated?

The bottom team in each conference....

USA PRO relegated teams are:

Lake Oswego Bulldogs
Big Biz Elite

Going up to USA PRO will be the two teams in the AAA final.

Winner of...
Centerville Utopians
Oakland Rage

Winner of...
Washington Bullets
Paris French Connection

[Cjones]

Well, just to play it safe we should start our offensive line on a regiment of DBOL and bull's urine.

[texacotea]

just got back on nice win...The D is some serious lets keep rolling

[Milo]

Nice day for Hooking. 5/6, 1/1 PAT
