My big bro Freezer's former team, the San Jose Sabercats, are a squad that I will always root for in the ISFL. However, I am surprised to see them so close to the top of the standings in the ASFC right now, as on paper at least they do not have the team depth to really compete over a full season. The quantitative metrics we have access to do indicate that the players they do have are strong and capable of carrying a team to the playoffs, but as a whole the team is lacking in quality compared to most of the remaining teams around the league. They also don't really believe in human O-linemen so phooey on them. On the other hand, my current team the Butchers has been very much underperforming so far this season. We did not expect to be 1-5 at this point, that's for dang sure. Certainly some of our players are getting older and the team is more about a quantity of good players instead of a core of great ones, but with the best o-line in the business you'd think we could at least protect our QB or open up enough holes for the RB duo of Yoda and Hayes. A couple of 3 point losses have definitely contributed, but a good team like ours just needs to be winning those games.
