just want to hear your side of the heavy stacking that is going on across the board in these so called great leagues. for you as a coach or league to be considered one of the all time greats then the stacking must cease, and let the coaching do the winning. in my opinion stacking every play is not fun play it's slow play and it's bully ball! you might as well have boiled bases with pledge on the field against a team with proline bases(example). we used to do that in 1977 just want input on it please the world definitely needs it! again ANY STACKING SHOULD BE OUTLAWED, TO OPEN THE GAME UP!.LET THE INDIVIDUAL PLAYER MAKE THE PLAY NOT A STACKED PLAYER.

I understand what you are saying and how you feel. Many have taken the football out of the game and replaced it with what they like. The faster, stronger team has the advantage and who can better use the TTQB is more likely to win.

The game is based on luck and hope, with no respect to football itself, however there are those that like to play that way, so for them it's cool and there is nothing wrong with that if that is what you like.

You might want to look at my system, ( MPFL) It is based on actual football and not on a board game. Football X's and O's, position fundamentals, and position discipline are key.
