Bottom line is, you will never, ever convince me that any of those teams are more competitive than the Crabs. Never.

Nobody has to bother to convince you. The rest of the community knows. The proof is in the scores in recent games of Crabs (with holdbacks) versus those teams. Also look at the spreads of the games versus similar teams. Many of the other spreads are more favorable than the Crabs vs Edge, Crabs vs 91 etc. Crabs is a good team but they are not in the same league as 91. If they had the integrity to play with the Denver team going forward (without the holdbacks or the 2019s), they would not be winning all of their games. Those other teams can easily meet the generous Denver age requirement as they are now. Fact.
