East Region Playoff Discussion

when you get to the playoffs you have to throw out all the games before so here is what I think

Union is coming off a loss, in a rival game, not a good way to enter the playoffs
Union is playing on the road in a place that I feel the students will be out in full force and lets not forget that fisher parents can be quite vicisous, sorry ER

I think it comes down to the d's Union's d gives up an average of 20.2  While Fishers D' Gives up an average of around 12

The offenses fisher scores an average of 40
and union scores around 30


So I think as much as everyone wants Union to win, I think the Fisher D stands a better chance at stopping the Union O then the Union D stoping Fisher's o

Rather have them coming off a loss in a rival game than a loss in another game.... at least it will light a fire under them.

You are right about Fisher parents, btw. Nasty.

I think I have a beef with people who keep saying since its the playoffs, throw out all the other games....and then back that up with stats from the teams. This is about the 3rd, maybe 4th time I've seen it and if you're going to throw out the other games...then throw out the stats too, because they dont mean anything.  If you're not going to throw out the stats, then you cant throw out the game. They go hand in hand!!!

And superman, why you playin "world against us"? You're on the E8 board, I'd say pretty much everyone is pullin for the cardinals.

This is the playoff board, fan of springfield.

[superman57]

what would you rather have coming off a 41-17 win a must win game or a 24-19 loss  and no, the only people pulling for fisher are the fisher fans sorry d3  and I say you have to throw everything out because anything can still happen, but to have a good idea of what each team can do you need to use stats from the regular season to see where each team had strengths and weaknesses

Here's my question:  You waited until you were pretty sure Springfield would make the playoffs before showing up.  Will you still be around after they get eliminated?

Here's my answer:

I've been on the boards all y ear long, but after much questioning as to where the springfield posters were, I decided to join along in all the fun.  Will I still be around after they get eliminated? I'm not sure if that was a funny attempt at saying they will be eliminated early or something but yes, I will be.  Only because there is no chance in hell of Springfield winning the national championship so they have to be eliminated at some point.  Jose, will you still be around after Ithaca gets elimin.....

Oops, sorry.

Very "suddle."

[fan of d3]

And my "touche" remark to Maxbomer was in reference to when I said this was the E8 board...

And he corrected me.

[fan of d3]

Make all the corrections to spelling that you would like, but after seeing all the jokes on here, i thought "suddle" would be a rise out of people.

Yes, i realize it is subtle...

Sorry for the jokes boys.

[maxpower]

Maybe you should take your head out from your posterior and realize maybe some of us are joking too. It's not the world against Springfield, this is the E8 board!

[fan of d3]

I dont think I've tried to pull the world against springfield card.  I've seen a lot of people on here say they would root for SC in the playoffs.

Anyways Maxbomber, i'm more prone to having my foot in my mouth than head up my ass

Good stuff, truce. I am rooting for SC in the playoffs... as I said it bugs me that a rather one-dimensional team can be so good, but if their only loss on the way to Salem is IC, that will help take some of the sting out of the season.

On the way to Salem?  Seriously?

Fan of D3, go look up DeLong's playoff record...

[maxpower]

Careful Jose, yell at me, I'm the one that said that. Just pointing out that I'm rooting for SC, if nothing else.


They say nothing is better for a sport than having a recognizable star. Maybe Sharpe, though not as good as Cahill, can get D3 a little more on the map.

Or maybe not.
