It was one hell of a game.

Falcons - 61
Broncos - 58

It was a shootout all game. It ended up coming down to a last minute field goal in over time to finish it. There are some things I need to change with my defense, but I made up for it on offense. Some of the stats are insane.

Matt Ryan, 8TDs, 1 int, 548yrds.
Julio Jones, 325yrds, 5TDs. (Could not stop the deep bomb. My safeties would not pick him up in zone, and my CBs would jump the route sometimes and let him run free. I am going to do some research on how to better control the madden mechanics to prevent against this.)

Peyton Manning, 4TDs, 325yrds,
Willis MaGahee, 284yrds, 3TDs,
Jacob Tamme, 208yrds, 3Tds,

Great game aft3rsh0ck! It got insane.

Wow at those stats...were there any picks or turnovers of any kind?

Sounds like TEBOW TIME! I also have dirty Sanchez... somebody please take them

Yeah matt ryan had one interception, im not sure about peyton but it was one hell of an offensive game. we just couldnt stop each other

Now I don't mean to sound like a dick or anything but with the XP system this year, shouldn't we reconsider this "running up the score rule"? I mean, when you have a bad or young team and you're trying to catch up to the big dogs with stacked teams every XP counts.

And to say its not realistic isn't exactly accurate, doesn't anyone remember the Pats 2007 FU season? Or how about the Bucs(I think it's them) playing hard right until the end of the game this year(going after Eli on the kneel down).

Even when I'm losing, I don't mind it because I hate watching the game clock slowly tick down, even if it means the other team is adding onto the blowout. I mean its really on me to stop them from doing that. Plus I wouldn't want to deprive them of getting XP for the players just because my feelings might get hurt.

I know this is a gentleman's league and everything and I don't mean to sound like a douchebag but I think with the XP system this year it's kinda silly not to allow teams to try to get as much points as possible.

Maybe I'm alone in thinking this way, but I'd like to hear other opinions.

I am totally against running up the score.

Same here. The reason I joined this league was so people don't cheese, take advantage of exploits, and be assholes by running up the score.

Yeah if people start running up the score people are going to get discouraged and quit. And if they are able to blow teams out then they probably dont need the xp as much as the person getting blown out. Just my opinion.

Running up the score just makes the game take longer.

IMO that would be a slippery slope.

I need to run up the score so I get get XP.
Because I need XP, I'm going use any mean necessary to win.
I'm going use any mean necessary to win, so I'm going to be a douche bag exploiter.
I'm going to be a douche bag exploiter, and everyone is going to hate me.
Everyone hates me, so I have no self esteem and am depressed.
I am depressed, so I am going to become a stripper and do drugs.
I am now ugly because of the drugs, and lost my job as a stripper. Now I do sexual favors for money on the corner by McDonalds.

See what happens if we allow running up the score?

Yup, I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree more. This same argument was brought up in the other league (though not from an "I have a bad team" position), and it's just not a negotiable iseue. The notion that you're going to "catch up with the good teams" by running a hurry up offense when you're up 42- 3, so you can get more XP for your players is ridiculous.

You may get that XP you're so desperately chasing, but you'll also be playing in an empty league because nobody is going to just sit there and tolerate that garbage. This league was created for the sole purpose of sportsmanship. Anybody who has a problem accepting that is in the wrong place.

I'm dead set against running up the score.
