I coach DII Cheney in the Bryant world. I previously played GD a lot (with decent success) but then was away for several years. I have now been back for 5(?) seasons and have what on paper looks like a competitive team. However, in my CC game I lose 53-0. My QB was 11-44 while his were 34-44. My running game was 22-57 (2.6 yards) and his was 40-231 (5.8 yards). However, in comparing the two teams it appears I have the better players? My QB core attributes sum up to 190. His is 186. My RB is 238 and his is 218. My OL averages 76 strength and 73 block vs. his OL of 62 and 59. My DL is 75 STR and 73 TKL vs. his at 77 and 68. And yet in two different games I can't run or pass? What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

FYI the link to the boxscore is https://www.whatifsports.com/gd/GameResults/BoxScore.aspx?gid=5830659

first glance looks like you got rolled by all human teams you played except the rebuild

I realize that. That's why I am here... No way those games should have been as bad as they were...

this is probably not the main answer, and i realize stamina isn't the deal now, but quick look at 2nd and 4th quarters of your losses, you have orange/red players vs green other team

According to the GUESS ratings, your seniors are your worst players. As your younger players mature, and you begin using guys with higher formation IQ (and better talent), you will likely experience better results.

Off a quick glance: The other teams defense was much better in the LB and DB department.. and you really didn't have any WRs to throw to.

Ebel where do you see the colors you mention

Don - Since I'm here, I'll answer for ebel (although I'm sure he could answer much better in his own special way). Go to the box score of the game, then go into the play by play. From there, you will see little green X and O boxes for each play. Click on those.

Thanks for that tip, bjschumacher. Had not paid attention to the little green X & O boxes before.
