To see this team, go to "Account Managment" => "My Teams".

Let me know if you have questions.

Timeout, that's my son's team and he actually participates in this league. He just tried logging in to draft and it wouldn't let him log in. Now I know why.

[cdcox]

Sorry. I can give it back to him. Logs say he had not logged in for four months if I remember correctly. He has been restored. Hope to see him make his 2nd round draft pick.

BRC, I can assign you another team in Raiders1 if you want.

Thanks CD!
Weird....I'm not sure why it would show him as inactive. He's been changing his lineup each week.

Yes, I am also. I've been going through my roster, and it's a little messed up with people incorrectly identified in the wrong roster spots...but nothing major.

I had two people left on my auto-draft list when it came my time to draft, so I got who I wanted, instead of being assigned the next player of the draft. Maybe later today I can get another pick in, but it's pretty iffy.

Trent Williams- Teller- Hudson- Trey Smith- Braden Smith

I thought we paused on weekends lol. My last couple picks (1 in league 1 and league 2) are being auto picked and I’m not happy about it lol.

You guys act like you’re new here. We’ve never paused on weekends. Quit acting like you’re so busy.

Yeah - you've killed this off-season so far.

Not sure I'd be too excited to throw 1st round cap resources at a G (as well as that 1st round pick) but you clearly had a plan.

But hey - I got a bad TE and a 3rd down back so you're proper ****ed now...

Apart from a monster of a secondary (with James returning alongside Harrison Smith and 4 top 25ish CBs; my #5 is Darious Williams who's damn good in his own right and a 6th in Stokes is developing nicely in GB), and a nice set of edge rushers (Garrett and Ngakoue), I don't really love how my team is shaping up. Especially with Derrick Henry's injury ****ing up Tannehill's performance/efficiency numbers. Then again, Russ is backing up a bit for you this season as well.

I don't have a ton of holes, but I seem to have done precisely dick to address them. My 1st rounder from last year was designed to really bolster that interior pass rush (Javon Kinlaw) alongside Clark and Dre'Mont Jones but he had knee surgery and is a non-factor this year. Brooks is slowly coming along at LB but Shenault has been buried by Urban in JAX, Trautmann has disappointed and Walker can't see the field.

So the 2020 draft class will hardly contribute and the 2021 isn't looking any better.

This team just isn't a speck better than it was 2 years ago.

Harris was likely to get most of the carries this year anyway. Cooks been pretty average this year.

Looking at the past 3 super bowls I'm not even sure how much QBs matter in this sim the QBs on these teams are pretty meh. It also looks like you're better off going 10-6 or 11-5 opposed to 15-1

I honestly have no idea how to gain a genuine edge.

I have 2 teams built on entirely different philosophies and I typically take dramatically different approaches with them.

And while my teams are always good (still never had worse than a 10-6 season in about 10 combined seasons through the 2 incarnations of Sandbox) - I don't actually know why.

I mean I had a really good team in League 2 last season - went out in the conference championship. This season was a placeholder year when Dak went down, I sneaked into the playoffs on a tiebreaker and then Ryan Fitzpatrick catches fire, wrecks creation and I win the league.

Meanwhile this season in League 1 my team was the culmination of a 3 year plan that went 15-1 and broke every record on the books and lost in the conference title game (after winning a title it had no business winning last year).

The playoffs sure do seem super random.

I mean - apart from you and Clay losing. That's steady as the sunrise.

The sim is exactly the same in the regular and post seasons. Any narratives are the human mind trying to impose order on natural variation of a stochastic process. I suspect that elite “QBs are essential in the NFL” and “QBs don’t matter in Sandbox” are equally true or false.
