Re: 2015 RULES: Playoff Stats

I know this isn't really part of the question but why do we get to pick after the playoff game is played? I think it is more realistic to pick prior to the game if you want to use that game update or use season averages.

Re: 2015 RULES: Add another LTC, Restructure

This is something I have thought about the last few days but haven't posted anything...is it possible to add in a salary cap floor? I understand teams could still cut and trade away salary in the offseason and still have a ton to work with but that actually happens in real life. The trouble is in i...

Re: 2015 RULES: Add another LTC, Restructure

I think adding an LTC in the AFFL isn't that bad of an option because people don't get fleeced on trades but in the other 2 leagues you have it happen often therefore these teams that are taking advantage of new gms would have a way to keep more of their players from hitting the open market and I do...

I don't think we need to increase or decrease it. I think ltc's and franchise tags at 5 and open market deals at 7 are just fine.

Re: Rules suggestion

I'm all for mimicking the NFL as much as possible. However, until we rent out a meeting hall, hire actors to negotiate on behalf of players, and give us all a week of legal tampering (and maybe a month of illegal tampering), I think we have to bypass the "real NFL" argument for free agenc...

Re: Rules suggestion

This is a terrible idea unless you have unlimited bids. I disagree... NFL teams can't negotiate with all players either. It isn't a bad idea, and could help with people sitting on last second bids. They could sign 10 players in one day though. They have zero limitations on how many offers they coul...

Re: Rules suggestion

As this being my first off season in this league there has been a lot of new experiences but this is the one thing that truly bothered me about the free agent process. In my opinion there's no need for the signing soon tool or the time stamp on each player for the league to see. The only time stamp...

Re: 2014 RULES: Bid Scores

I don't agree larry. I've been asking for this change for over 3 years. Not because of low bids but because of high bids. People don't want to risk sb so they put a 14 million salary just to be cut a year later with no penalty. When we all know players would rather have sb and not get cut but the o...

I do agree with this. SB should be weighted more than over all salary.

Re: 2014 RULES: Free Agency Changes

I voted for no anonymity but only because my experience last year with teams increasing bids ever so slightly. I would hope having your name publicly attached to the bid would reduce those instances, or at least we would know who the douche bag is. Other than that I believe the anonymous bidding st...
