At the risk of giving away my secret gameplans, here's something that surprised me about my game. I don't have particularly strong receivers. In fact, in my estimation, my TE group is marginally better than my WR group. So in the gameplan, I increased my 2 TE formations at the expense of the other, more WR oriented formations. I expected to have better performance from the TEs in the passing game than I did. Here were my top 2 WR and 2 TE box scores:
Kevin Walter 7 rec / 126 yds / 0 TD Santonio Holmes 11 rec / 122 yds / 1 TD Anthony Fasano 2 rec / 22 yds / 0 TD Scott Chandler 1 rec / 4 yds / 0 TD

Ya, I just noticed that they never punted one time. No wonder why I dominated them. I think I still would have won but thats weird.

There are some theoretical studies out there that say it's always a bad idea to punt, and the previous owner wanted to test that theory. It didn't seem to work very well, so I'm really curious now whether the theory works in real life or if it's got some flaw (or if our simulation can't account for what makes the theory true).

Isn't the only reason its better to not punt is because you get 4 chances at a first down instead of just three?

Yeah. The theory is that the expected value of making it exceeds the opponent's expected value of failing. It didn't work well in last year's experiment, but that's only 16 sample points.

What really pisses me off is that you got 122 yards out of Santonio Holmes.
He's on my roster in league 1, but I'm not bothering to play him since he's only around 4 games this year, and was pretty crummy in real life. But he got you 122 yards. I could have used those 122 yards. Now, of course, there's no way to predict whether he'd ever do that for me in a game, so...I may just leave him on the bench.

Can anyone flip the "no punt" switch?
It might be fun to do for a week once I've locked up a playoff spot.

Yeah, I'm not going to worry about it. The results were good enough that I'll keep riding the same gameplan for a couple of weeks to see how it goes.

How many players can be on a team's roster? Are we authorized a practice squad?

This would add a nice dimension to free agency and reward owners who do their research more.
