In a game where the entire roster save 1 player (who happens to have high stamina) played less than 36 minutes, having two extra players in the rotation who are weaker than the other 10 would have either made no difference or more likely made the team weaker overall. You kept saying we needed 12 players during the game and your opinion on this remains confusing and off the mark.

Playing an outside tactic was either the right call or net neutral against that particular team. Everyone disagreed with you on this point as well.

Meanwhile you fail to point out that we were playing a team who was significantly better than us and had GS issues with some key players working against us.

The more I watch you give your opinion on both the roster choices and tactics for the NT the less likely you are to ever become NT coach in this country (edited). You're either continually taking a stance contrary to the NT coach because you think it will make you look smarter and get your voted in down the road or you just have some really weird ideas in your head that are contrary to both everyone else and common sense. It's an interesting political tactic but not one that is going to work.

with a blank lineup? Thats never a good idea. Just see the league finals from two years ago, 3rd game. This mistake (I forgot to change it) cost me championship


You're problem wasn't that you played blank lineup, it was that you picked the wrong substitution pattern. Playing blank lineup/let coach decide with a team as deep as the NT is always the right call.

we shouldn't have used Princeton, we should have used ____, and put ___ at starting center. If he has good GS next week, he should start there.

I highly doubt I should be the starting center.

There is no way it would make the team weaker overall when using blank/let coach decide since the coach uses best players counting in the fatigue factor. So it could only improve the situation or keep it the same, which is a good argument for actually using it. Also not sure what is your point in second paragraph. Outside offence was clearly not a right call, as anyone who checked game ratings can tell. It could be assumed to be right before the game, and some of managers wanted it (although I advocated for PtB or LI as you can see offsite). But after the game saying that outside offence was a good choice is just plain stupid.

Also, pointing out the fact that we played against good team is useless. We all know that. The points being made about different tactic working better and possibly winning us this game and using more players are definetely valid.

I am pretty sure thats what I just said to sparky........ if I understood properly he was advocating using 'strictly follow depth chart' although I might have misunderstood

That might have been over the top but he was constantly criticizing decisions in the game chat without backing them up. and it's much easier to criticize decisions after the fact. Like I wrote I think he has an ulterior motive and I while I could be wrong that's how I feel after reading many of the things he's written about the NT.

But you're probably right, I could have wrote how I was feeling without the personal attack. My apologies to kozlik.
