Season I had 2 teams in the Super Bowl that had a rough first 7 games. They found the right combination and settings to get it right. This is not a front runner outfit of leaving everything the same in the settings and depth chart for the season. You have to make adjustments, watch how teams play, study usage, and take chances to leverage your team. Everything that true competitors want.

8 spots left. 16 franchises to choose from!

I'll give it another try. With the Colts off the board, I need to examine the player database to figure out which team.

I also want to give a long overdue THANK YOU to the coaches who gave me lots of advice on rosters and strategy, especially danpsull, seay, gyrene and 666ace.

Danpsull might not realize it, but he mentored me through the process of assembling my roster. Seay and Dan gave me invaluable advice, especially when I was really struggling with 3 losses in my first 4 games. And 666ace reached out to me out of the wild blue yonder to offer tons of great advice.

Without Dan, Seay and Ace, my first SLF season would have been awfully frustrating and most likely would have been my last season in SLF.

So a plea to other SLF coaches... When newbies ask for advice, try to help them out ... even if just a little, and even if you keep your most important strategies close to your vest.

I can tell you from personal experience that the coaches who mentored me in both GD and SLF are the primary reason that I've stuck around, and I'm sure it will be the same for other new coaches.
