GG marina/Falcons, that is the strongest offense Ive played against in 4.5, without a doubt. 600+ pts scored in reg season. We gave it a good try, but blew both GL chances that we had, should have run the FB dive exclusive on 2nd & 3rd and 1. We needed to have a real strong sim, I thought we might get it off the first drive but turning it over on the GL was a killer. A couple of your drives were kept alive with pens, its tough enough to stop that offense without that kicking in. The key to stopping that offense is to have speed on the OLBs or maybe use the Dime a lot with fast DBs. I used my safety Hayes to go man with Stutes & co out of the Nickel to cover the HB Flare, but the 43 FZ wasnt able to hold well enough and was way overused. GL in the final, will see if the Raiders can give you a better game. At least we made it interesting when we got within 6 in the 4th. Fortunately we'll be moving on to 4.6 and the passing game will not be the dominant factor next season, no more WR2's on FL Hitch and Skinny Post and RBs to the flats anymore.
This has been fun, but I need to cut back. Good luck to the finalists, and good luck next year.
EDIT: I'll keep the team through the end of season spin to avoid having the AI sign a bunch of stupid extensions to hapless ancient guys. The finances are already going to be dicey enough.
