Yep, I was scouting him and two other Top qbs all season.

Yeah I guess it will stream to twitch, whatever that is. I'll let you know what it's like when I have some time to work with it.

Sorry, guys. Had a late night last night. I'll be advancing us in the next 30 minutes.

All right, we have advanced to Week 6! Games will be due by 1/22!

Trade Approved

Wow the Cowboys are going to be paying Romo a lot of money to leave.

ya 2 million and he looks like the better qb in my eyes

At that point it's like why even trade. I wouldn't have made that trade. Cutler has the upside with much higher throw power, but you are spending more for a QB that doesn't have as good of accuracies. I mean if that's what they wanted good for them, just do see the point in my opinion.

You both realize who it is that is trading for Cutler, right?

Both QBs are in the final year of their deals, and Romo is 3 years older. The committee's basic thought on this deal was that they're almost identical QBs. To me, this just seems like a "change of scenery" trade. I'm sure pitfallharry is sick of Cutler and all the INTs he's thrown...and ballinhun8 is Cutler's #1 fan. I would wager that they're both getting exactly what they want.

ravens vs bengals going down in 5 minutes should be fun

Ah that makes more sense now. I think the trade was fair as far as the trade committee is concerned. I was just saying I wouldn't have made that trade. I know Pitfall hated Cutler, I say Cutler becomes MVP for this season lol.

Blade, I'll make sure to consult with you before I make any other trades.

I agree this trade was not made with madden skill being considered on the cowboys part lol bears got a steal.

On a positive note I got two play a few ranked non cheese games today.

ravens beat teh bengals in the last seconds of overtime
17-20

couldnt stop the TE at all even when he was double covered he would be open it was crazy
dennis pitta 8 catches 141 yards

on the bright side darren sproles had 159 yards on 19 carries for 2 TDs.

i think someone said this before and i agree TE's are the new rb screen pass

GG K Train this game was really fun wish i could have found away to stop Pitta. u need a new kicker by the way bro lol i know u know what im talking about. that game shouldnt have gone to overtime

Best way is to cover him yourself. If I see someone going to a tight end a lot out of the same formation (usually I or a single back) I'll cover him with a safety.

i had him double covered with a CB and a safety at one point dude still got open. but thanks for the advice i will have to try it out some more i tired covering him myself once and it didnt work out so well even with double coverage lol.

I'll scrim with you sometime and we can play with it

The same thing happened to me against the Cardinals and he doesn't even have a good TE. His TE was getting open consistently on multiple routes, so I put Ed Reed in man coverage against him and he was still getting open, even though he was a blocking TE with 69 speed and Ed Reed has 86 MCV along with 99 and 98 PRC and AWR. Usering a defender in coverage usually works out poorly for me because my opponents connection is poor more often than not and there is too much lag to cover a guy well enough to make a difference.

Yeah, funny thing is I felt like I had Darren Sproles bottled up most of the game. Had 10 tackle for loss and a lot of short gains, but all it takes is 1 or 2 long runs to make up for it. My kicking game was poor last season and cost me my game against the Chargers. There wasn't many upgrades out there in the offseason so I drafted a kicker who seemed decent enough. The first 50 yard kick I missed had 100% power and I barely missed it. The second one I will admit that I screwed up and hit the button too soon. I would get a new kicker, but the ones in the free agent pool don't seem any better than what I have and I doubt anyone is looking to trade their kicker. If anyone is, let me know.

My 2 new players came through with good games. Doug Martin ran for 115 and a TD on 28 carries and Vincent Jackson had 2 key conversions on 3rd down if I remember right. 1 of the catches wasn't even meant for him and the other was contested. A lot better than Emmanuelle Sanders dropping a TD and fumbling twice in last weeks game.

I am having such a hard time getting takeaways. Only 1 team has fewer takeaways than my 6 and that is N8 with 4. The league leader has 28 and most teams have at least double digits. Sacks are also a problem. Only have 3 on the season despite multiple stud pass rushers. Glad to be 4-1, but have to improve these numbers.

I have had a lot of pass rush problems too. Not sure what I got last year, but I think between Pierre-Paul, Tuck and Osi, I got maybe 9 sacks combined.

ya we both played pretty conservative it seemed only 1 turn over per side. and ur INT in OT was crazy my dude was bent over backwards caught it with one hand in the rain lol. but good thing it was 3rd down so it was just like punting prolly even better since i was behind the 20 yard line.
