looking for guidence. My first game of the season and in the game of myfootballnow my ol allowed 6 sacks. i wounder how that could happen? My ol contains of really good playes all around 82-88 in skills.. some have passing protection at 100 aswell. The defensive players making the sacks wasent that impressive. I also think my de where better skilled then his tackles, but my team only got 3 sacks. What could be the reason for this result. help appriciated

1) Your team passed more than the other team. Your team got sacked once for every 6.5 pass attempts, whereas the other team got sacked once for every 8.3 pass attempts. That disparity is not too crazy.

2) Your O-Line is talented, but it's banged up and lacks depth. Injuries and fatigue affect performance. Note that you only got sacked twice in the first half (one of those was on the last play of the first half. I recommend you sign two more o-lineman (including this guy: http://mfn11.myfootballnow.com/player/1798 and move him to LT), active that LG you have inactive right now (you should be developing him anyway), cut your worst DT, cut your worst MLB. Move your injured lineman to the second string until they're back to probably or healthy.

3) Aside from that, the users here that have an opinion on the matter generally think that D-Line is overpowered and/or O-Line is underpowered. I haven't looked in to it enough myself to have a firm opinion, but what you're experiencing might just be a balance issue in the game mechanic.

I had a DE in MFN-31 put up 45 sacks this season and he's only 59/100 on pass rush skill. Doesn't have 100s for physical skills either. Not to mention he missed a game or two.
