Wineman, if you've watched the Orange at all this year, you already know the answer to that question. They'll go as far as Gerry will carry them and when he has an off night shooting they usually loose. But that said, the big guys, Roberts, Watkins and even sub Goreman have really stepped up their play of late so who knows. I for one will be extremely happy if they just get out of the first weekend. Anything after that will be gravy in my book.
As for NLD things, We know they will be adding some new features including dropping clutch hitting, less penalty for in season drops etc., so I can't say for sure which ones we'll keep or drop. But assuming everything stay the same here's what I envision:
1. 20 round live draft (19 player 1 stadium)
2. Draft order based on last NLD inverse order of finish (or we can do lottery if everyone wants to)
3. 80mil
4. DH
5. No duplicate stadiums
6. We'll start after we can get everyone together and see about schedules
7. First round will be no clock
8. Subsequent rounds will be 3 Hours
9. We'll use penn's site if/when he gets the new cards imported
10. NO Clock on weekends
That should about cover it.
BTW, all you guys in the Bay area, what the hell is going on with the Niners, they actually have money to spend this year and so far the only things they've done are:
Resign Nedney ( which they needed to do)
Resign Smith ( dubious given the length of contract and his age)
Traded their top reciever, (who the hell is gonna catch the ball :shock:) , FA's are shallow as is the draft pool for recievers this year.
Watch as the Browns and Skins seem to be signing everyone on the market.
They really seem to not have a clue what they are doing. Maybe they are being patient and looking for the right deals, but lets be real given the sorry state of the team competitivly and the lack of direction from ownership, they are going to have to throw boatloads of money at guys to get them to sign.
It looks to me like they are going to go backwards this year instead of building on the 2 wins at the end of the year. I just don't see how they can loose Peterson, and Carter and have everyone age a yeasr and be as good on Defense. They seem really high on Moore in place of Peterson and while he's a good rushers and run stuffer he's a HUGE liability in pass coveerage, especially compared to Peterson.
