Denver is in the Sandbox Bowl, so they must be my best team. Our offense has been good enough to get the job done, but the defense and special teams have been our strengths. Avery Williams has been a superstar on the return teams. I think he's got four kick return touchdowns, maybe more. I won't say more with the big game coming up. Newport Beach is my second original team, and they've historically been a powerhouse with weakness at the quarterback position. We signed Jimmy Garoppolo, who played well until going down with an injury, and then Jacoby Brissett stepped up and played well. But despite a strong offensive line (in my opinion) and Nick Chubb, our run game really struggled. On special teams, someone sniped my kicker right as free agency ended, and I went with a journeyman all year, which is what cost me a playoff spot. We lost games due to our kicker problem. And on defense, we've always been a powerhouse and we just didn't gel this year. I'm not sure why, because it didn't look like we had any weak spots, but the bottom line is that the defense was mediocre. We've got some problems to solve in the offseason. Muncie is a team that I took over a couple of seasons ago. They missed the playoffs last year, in large part because of QB weakness and no pass rush. So we went all out in free agency. We signed tom brady for a final season, and drafted Breese Hall. Hall was great before getting injured, and even without him the offense was very strong. On defense, we invested in a dream team front four - Chris Jones, Quinnen Williams, Maxx Crosby, and Brian Burns - got great off-ball linebackers in Nick Bolton, Logan Wilson, and Leo Chenal. We turned the defense around in one season, and the team was strong until getting tripped up in the playoffs. I like this turnaround story.

Taylor is undisturbed by your disrespect, because Taylor is preparing for the Sandbox Bowl.

The deepest quality competition is Chiefs1. Titans1 is a damn joke. I took over a dead team because I wanted Mahomes somewhere and went 16-0 this season without much effort. In the SB Bowl over there as well but it really didn't take much; there may be 6-8 active teams in the whole league.

Hell of a medical team in Denver... Looks like we both lost in the conference championship game last season so no, this doesn't appear to be a rematch. We're gonna have to come up with an answer to your pass rush. You absolutely tormented us last time around so here's hoping we get that firmed up a bit.

I play Phog in the Sandbox Bowl in Raiders1. Both teams were 15-1 in the regular season.

I took over a team (Enid) this year in Chiefs1 league that had 27 players on the roster, with 3 WR, 2 CB, and 0 lbs. It was a challenge just to fill the roster, but we made the playoffs just to get eviscerated by Denver to the tune of 11 sacks and 4 INTs! ![]() Don't really know which league is tougher due to only being in Chiefs1 this initial year.

That defensive front is a goddamn monster. My team has pretty much been Myles Garret and ballsack around him (which is odd as I really didn't expect that) but Garrett does a ton of heavy lifting. But I can't friggen touch his pass-rush even with - probably - the best OL in the league.

We have a very strong conditioning program in Denver. I think it's the altitude.

Congrats to the Denver Ermines for winning an exciting battle over the Columbia Cardinals in Chiefs1. A team of destiny indeed.
I am also pleased that the New Orleans River Cats prevailed in a tough defensive battle over Tulsa in Raiders1. I tweaked a few things in my game plan that apparently payed off. After four seasons, I have finally won my first Sandbox Bowl. |
