Week 4: 14-point win against Hakers with two trainees in my receiving corps
Week 5: 36-point loss against Atlantis with only my top 2 receivers on the field

TD is weird.

Upsets happen virtually every week in the NFL or college football and sometimes by big margins. Just yesterday TCU destroyed Baylor and nobody saw that coming. It's the beauty of the football and thank goodness, this game does simulate that chance on any week

I have no idea where your finances are. I see you have a decent payroll to contend with, you're having a rough season so far (7th place), so I'm sure ticket sales are not great, but you also have no players for sale. Can't be that bad, but I'm sure it's not great either. I will know it's bad when you start selling all your aging starters and reset things. In the meantime, I was just sharing one possibility for your struggles, though the consensus seems to be you're just having a bad string of luck. Easy to happen with all the good teams up in TD. If I knew all of your player builds, I might have other opinions, but from a scan of your roster the guards kind of stand out as a liability. I think this creates more pressures on you and also more incomplete passes as a result of the added pressure. I think you can get away more with low income DTs or NTs than you can with the OG or OC. 13 skill min for OGs and OCs is my thought and I like 16-18 for OTs in TD

Wow! That's a great point, don't see the need for that. I've never had a kicker over 12 and that's in their last season when I bump them up. Generally, my kickers are 10 and only bump to 11 or even 12 when I run out of things to train and don't want stamina to pop to 20. Could save a million over the rest of the season if he axed him now

I'll be happy to share via pm but open scout reports for all doesn't sound smart
