1. Comments about the user teams and their seasons so far
Slayers Eagles:
They are depending to much on Ricky Williams, but they are really dangerous. I have beaten them in week 7 with a score of 19:10 I think because my team managed to stop Williams, but the team is still very good and their record is telling a clear language: They can beat any team in this league.
Hartys Steelers:
A very, very good and balanced team, but they have problems in making the wins. They should have a much better record and more dominating in this league. At the beginning I feared them, but not now. Maybe to aggressive Sliders here.
Jrocs Bills:
Something is very wrong with this team. The player material of this team is much better then their record shows. They make good offense but the is defense incredibly bad. I really have sympathies for this team and the owner but I fear he is unable to make his guys understand what he wants (Sliders). But maybe he just as no luck. I expect them much stronger and more successful in the last games.
QBStunners Texans:
Another dangerous team who can beat any team but also can loose to any team. QBStunner is trying to outsmart his opponents but his defense gives up to many big plays. It is amazing that his defense is full of monster players but they don't play up to their potential. I think he lets his team play slightly to aggressive. The other problem is that this is another team with no absolute playmakers in the offense.
Cashs Bengals:
What can I say? Look at their record. Despite of not having a perfect team they are among the top favourites for the superbowl. This team is very solid. They are very successful and are able to win games easily. Very good and clear instructions for players (Sliders).
SlickRicks Dolphins:
This team plays with great finesse, but is to conservative I think. They let to often their opponents take control of the game and are afterwards unable to change the games score to their advantage. Slick plays probably to controlled I suppose. He has the player material to be a major threat in this league.
Itallions Chiefs:
The team of the Stallion is playing exactly the same way I expected. Much aggressiveness and lot of big plays which are followed by easy and preventable mistakes. Cash, don't take this as an offense or disrespect of the Stallion but I would like to play against him with my controlled running game and heavy defense. I think it would make him crazy not to have more than 10 points for his team. Hahaha.

)))
Orions Raiders:
Wow, this team has a fantastic record and is able to hold their high level till week 10, which is a very hard to make thing. This team isn't better than most other owner teams but is hardly to beat. Iam unsure what the magic of this team really is, but it is not only Eddie George. It is not luck, their wins are deserved. I would like to see my team against the Raiders. I think every score would be possible...
Mboss Panters:
The Panters are one more of the unpredictables of this league. But I must confess that I didn't watched them very much. The only thing I saw was that they have no real playmaker. Not at QB, nor at RB or WR. But with the very good coaching of Mboss this team remains dangerous and smart.
Jimmys Jaguars:
This team is among the best drafted and best managed/coached teams. They have superbowl winning calibre. Great offense, great defense!!! And everbodys playing solid!!
Ramsfans Rams:
I played them in week 1 and won 34:30 I believe. They play definitely to much with passing and are a high-scoring team. But they are also a not able to stop their opponents attacks (only mediocre D-Line) so their offense power is very often not enough and they get unnecessary loses. To aggressive plays called also, I think (Sliders). He wants to force the ball to much through the air to get points.
Lints Seahawks:
His team has an amazing defense but no quality QB, which isn't so important if you have a very solid running game (which the Hawks have). They are very hard to play and this is a team which I don't want to play in the playoffs (if I make them)
BFY222s Lions:
His very good defense keeps him in the game and playoff race, despite not playing as good as they could. He hasn't a very good offense but is productive. Hard to say where they will stand at the end of the season.
Phatboys Titans:
They are good. They play solid football and let Portis run very much. I like their playes called. Solid Sliders set by Phatboy, I believe. He knows exactly what his teams can play and what they cant play. They could be a big surprise in the playoffs.
2. Comments about the superbowl and probowl
The teams which will be able to win the Superbowl are the Eagles, Steelers, Bengals, Raiders, Titans and especially the Seahawks and the Jaguars. And now, that I know how to use the Sliders, I hope that even I have a change to reach the playoffs. But in my opinion the Jaguars will win the Superbowl against the Seahawks.
I would like to make some comments for the probowl but for that I would need more stats and so on. I don't want to give you alibi names like Ricky Williams, Favre, Warner, Moss and so on, who are always probowl candidates.
I only could make serious comments for the probowl judging my own team.
I personally think for example that in my team :
QB Tom Brady plays very average
RB L.Tomlinson is playing above average but not as good as he could. No probowl.
My WR Derrick Mason is playing very good I think and could be a probowler.
My O-Line is getting better and RT Willie Anderson and LT Jon Runyan are probowl candidates and played very well with tons of pancakes and so on.
My D-Line is very strong. I think that DT Jason Ferguson fits perfectly to the 3-4 system. He and MLB Jamie Sharper are monsters and probowl candidates.
Astonishingly my Secondary improved rapidly in the recent weeks after my Slider changes and I think CB Ken Lucas and FS Victor Green are playing superb and are also superbowl candidates.
3. Comments on my own team
I really like my team. In the games I could see I could saw that there is great potential. In the beginning I did really nonsense sliders, you know it. I ruined a better start, but now I see what my team does good and what not. And iam doing my sliders now with more care, strategy and thinking and it works!!!!!!!! My team plays absolutely the way I asked them and they play rock-solid. The defense is able to shut down the offensive of my opponents and my own attack is still quite productive. That is a good combination.
I really believe that my team turned to a team that is really hard to beat. The next two games are decisive for us and if we win both games, we will be in the playoffs. And the experience shows, that in the playoffs the league begins again from the start and everything is possible. If we reach the playoffs everything is possible for us. Out in the wildcards as well as the GIANTIC triumph at the superbowl.
4. Superbowl prediction
As I wrote before, I expect a nice matchup between the Jaguars and the Seahawks. I say that the jags will be vicious with a score of 23:17...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

2)I'm Supprised D. McNabb got MVP, I'm glad A. Dyson got in on the Defensive player in the NFL, I am very glad Nick Barnett got NFL Defensive Rookie and NFC Defensive Rookie, I am happy A.

Orion
1.
Pitt: ProBowl Year for D. Walker hopefully he can do that for OAK Next Year. Offense is underachieving.
Cin:WOODY D should not be making the ProBowl and will never make it in real life but his playing is talking for him.
TENN: Wheres Peerless Price? Portis has to catch up to Ricky.
HOuston:Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, No More picks please your killing QB8. Maybe Edge could take some more pressure away.
Jags: Kurt Warner for President(League MVP)
KC:Chiefs Suck!!!! Get ready for the next Game cause Eddie's(the little engine that could) is ready for round 2 (Nice smash mouth football the way it should be)Ricky style baby!!!
Bills: Where's the Randy Ratio? You can still throw deep, it's not Madden 05 yet.
MIA: Manning is not playing near the level he should be playing. Need to take off some pressure by running Corey.
DET: Ray Lewis is no where to be seen. Is he hiding from the cops? Peter Warrick is playing like he should of been playing when he came out of the draft.
CAR: Davis is getting the valuable carries to get into the Pro Bowl.
Bucs: Best trio in the league w/ McNabb, Porter & Shaun. Keep it that way.
Rams:Shouldn't of waisted that pick on Alstott. The trade for barlow really helped you out.
Sea: I'm lucky the Hawks aren't in the AFC West anymore.
DAL: Offense really underachives because of poor oline play.Should do alot better with all that talent. (Can't win the game if you cant win in the trenches)
PHI: Run, Ricky, Run!!!!!!! (If he ran like this last year the SuperBowl would of been written all over the Dolphins) Better lcuk Next Year Ricky!!!
NYG: Tomlinson showed Ricky who the better runner was. Laid the smack down.
Oak: Too many picks Aaron!!!! The D cant always make up for your mistakes. Better rest while you can Eddie cause u will run Week 12 like if it was your last day alive.
----------------
2.
3 Bengal Db's in the ProBowl? Best playmaking Secondary so far. Battle between McNabb and Warner for MVP.
3.
I predict I'll go 12-4 cause I should loose some games while I'm on vacation. Second playoff seed next to Cash.
4.
AFC playoffs Oak vs Cin
NFC Bucs vs. Seahawks
Superbowl Cin vs Seahawks (Seahawks 31-24) w/ Cincy running out of time.

1) A comment about each user team.. what surprised you etc etc..
Miami - SlickRick: Shows what a mediocre O-line will do for you. Great players at other positions, but average O-lineman is about an 82.
Buffalo - Jroc521: Weak defense = 2 wins
Cincinnati - You: Thanks for picking a team in the AFC North and making a fool of me.
Pittsburgh - Me: Thought I'd have a better record. WTF is wrong with Favre?!?
Jacksonville - JimmyUrlacher: Solid players at all posistions. Somewhat surprised at his 7-1 record though...
Houston - qb8stunner: No skill positions in the 90's, two of his best defenders are both MLB, which hurts since one of them is probably off the field in nickle and dime situations. But should be better than 5-4.
Tennessee - phatboy: When your highest rated player is your punter, you got problems. Run Portis every down behind a suspect line and you'll have a losing record.
Oakland - Orion: Weird... no one really stands out as a BIG TIME player, but he has a great record. I predict a second half slump. Watch out for...
Kansas City - Italian Stallion: Again, a suspect O-line. But overall, a solid team. Could easily usurp the Raiders before week 17.
Philly - Slayer: Has two of my fav real life players in Ricky Williams and Rod Woodson. But he also has Doug Flutie, which means he'll have a decent season but falter in the play offs. And so it is written, so it shall be done.
NY Giants - TheBillster: If he had a better defense, he'd be unstoppable. Brady and Tomlinson pack a powerful 1-2 punch.
Detroit - bfy222: (Does this guy play anymore???) Avergae everywhere but LB. Ray Lewis and Junior Seau would strike fear in anyone, to bad Chad Pennington, Travis Henry and Darrell Jackson don't...
Carolina - mboss: One of the better TEAMS I think. He'll win his division. Just like the real 2004 season, this Panther team could surprise some people.
Seattle - LintFromSpace: De-****ing-fense. Best one in the game. Will pull away and win division.
St. Louis - RamsFan: No defensive player in the 90's, the best being SS at 88. Best offensive player is his FB. And to top it off, he has Kordell Stewart on his team. Weak and fading fast. Lucky to have a winning record.
2) Comments on the probowl and yearly award leaders No big surprises. Except the biggest vote getter was Flozell Adams.
3) Your prediction for your team (what they will finish the season and if they go to the playoffs how far they go
Favre regroups, we win 5 more games, go 10-6, get a wildcard spot (after you win the division). Get deep in the playoffs only to lose to the KC Chiefs. IS will make me his ***** until the regualr season starts.
4) Your prediction for the superbowl (who plays who and the score)
KC Chiefs 13 - Seattle Seahawks 7

bfy222
1)Dolphins- I'm real surprised at how good their run defense is, considering I think their front seven is terrible on paper
Bills- no surprises here, all they've got is Moss and Culpepper and they cant take a team anywhere in real life either
Cincinatti- bend but don't bread defense and a solid offense is getting the job done
Pittsburgh- Defense is getting the job done but the lack of a run game is killing them
Jacksonville- looks like the team to beat right now
Houston- looks like a wild card team to me
Tennesee- Defense is giving up way too many points for Harrington to keep up with
Raiders- there offense is the surprise of the league in my opinion. The big three of Brooks, George, and Booker..wtf?
Chiefs- the best 6-3 team in the league right now
Philly- Ricky Williams is carrying them to the playoffs right now, with a lot of help from the best D in the league
NYGmen- In any other division they probly could've earned a wild card spot, but they are clearly 3rd best in the NFC East
Carolina- Their offense is giving them a shot at the playoffs
Seattle- If they make any noise it's cause of their defense cause their offense is terrible, a very Raven-like team
St. Louie- The worst D in the league and J stewey in the backfield is clearly not a recipe for success
2)If i had a vote Ricky Williams would be MVP. Kurt Warner isn't even a top 3 Qb in his conference right now and he is winning best QB?
3) I see team stealing the division from the vikes with a 10-6 record and advancing through at least the wild card round.
4)Superbowl Prediction JAX 28, PHI 20
