Wyoming Wildfire 2022
This thread marks the progress of the Wyoming Wildfire, a franchise being operated under the GroupThink concept. This is the year 2022-year six of the fledgling expansion team's existence. Many of our original players are seeing their contracts expire, we really need to start making our run. If you'd like to read through the details from our earlier years, including some helpful background on the concept and the rules involved, here is a link: Wyoming Wildfire, 2017 Wyoming Wildfire, 2018 Wyoming Wildfire, 2019 Wyoming Wildfire, 2020 Wyoming Wildfire, 2021 The basic concept of GroupThink (a deliberately temporary name that seems to have stuck) is that we have several forum participants working together to manage an FOF 2001 franchise. Several people have defined roles, and some others are just ad-hoc contributors, which is welcome. The principal managers of the team are: Owner: QuikSand General Manager: TheRoyalOne Director of Scouting & Player Personnel(Veterans): RPI-Fan Director of Scouting & Player Personnel(Young): Daimyo Offensive Coordinator: FishFan Defensive Coordinator: Subby Special Teams Coordinator: TheDawgsAreOut Salary Cap and Financial Advisor: ez Director of PR & Marketing: Fritz We've had very helpful participation from a number of others, and welcome more. The job of the people listed above manage the various input, as it relates to their field, and to implement things into a sound strategy. We have sought to find one central location for the game files, but have instead seemingly settled on a one-step-at-a-time system, where each manager seems to post wherever it suits him best. I recommend searching through the most recently active threads in the main forum, where you will likely find a link. Important: By downloading the file. You are agreeing to play by our rules. Chief among them is no simming ahead. If you want to join in and comment, fine-but do not interfere with everyone's enjoyment by violating this concept. That said, we'll be having several different people manage their portions of the season, and we'll use this thread as a home for the reports and updates on our progress. Discussion and debate about team decisions and so forth will continue to be housed in the main forum, generally in threads labeled with the "WW:" or "GroupThink:" indicators. There are two standing links, where our Offensive and Defensive Cordinators have posted an ongoing annitated depth chart, which might help focus and spur discussion. You may locate them here: Wildfire Offense Wildfire Defense Feel free to read along, look around, and chime in-- your input is welcome… |

Herbs Evaluation for 2021:
Team Performance 36 Franchise Value 52 Profit/Loss 26 Difficulty 73 Score 41 The salary cap has risen $8,100,000 to $206,800,000. The league's minimum salary has risen $20,000 to $660,000. No Retirements We retain our same staff We have 3 UFAs this year: OT Nathan Adler, CB Jay Stokes, LB Kevin Gunn. Since nobody has said they would like to tag any of these and considering our financial outlook for the year, I pass on the tag. Adler or Gunn might have been worthy, but if we want them, we can still pursue them. We receive 5 trade offers. All but one passes our test. LB McConnell to SF for 1(28) & CB Zach Dawkins RB Ellis to Chi for 1(29) & WR Larry Bulger (Breaks our salary cap) CB Alumbaugh to Phi for TE Caputo C Stevenson to GB for 3(36) DT Barton to TB for 3(10) File is on FreeDrive, named "wildfire2022.zip" User Name: GroupThink password: wildfire |

We haven't kept the dynasty thread up to date-- the details that are available are located in the main forum threads.
That said, here are the season standings-- the Wildfire have finally earned a postseason berth!

Some stat roundup on the WW season:
Rushing offense: 4.1 ypc (3.8 avg) t6th 134.7 ypg (104.0 avg) 5th Passing offense: 7.4 ypa (6.7 avg) t6th 262.8 ypg (224.4 avg) 2nd (Wow - Buffalo had 300+) Rushing defense: 3.3 ypa (3.8 avg) t2nd 79.7 ypg (104.0 avg) 1st Passing defense: 5.4 ypa (6.7 avg) 1st 180.9 ypg (224.4 avg) 1st Turnovers: 31/19 = +12 margin - t4th QB sacks: 37/20 = +17 margin 20 sacks allowed is tied for league lowest 3rd down conversions: 89/237 = .375 = 11th Penalties: 141 - 1,041 yds (8th most) Red Zone efficiency: 55 appearances, 28 TD, 21 FG = 4.7 avg (league average = 4.7) Opponent red zone efficiency: 30 appearances, 15 TD, 12 FG = 4.7 avg - - - On balance, this was a pretty dominating team. We're 11-5 on the season (several close losses) but there doesn't seem to be a real juggernaut anywhere-- nobody is better than 12-4. We get a bye week and a home game... we'll see. |
