CAG League Sports: Madden 12 "JV League" - We Finished 3 Seasons! Thanks Everybody!!!

- Start date
Rams 24
Packers 14
St. Louis was not happy with Green Bay's Power Rankings questions earlier in the week — and used that as motivation to beat a team that has much more firepower all around.
Three Aaron Rodgers interceptions proved to be the difference in this one — and all came when the Packers were within striking distance. In a season where the Rams' offense has put up big points, this time, it was their defense that gave them the win.
St. Louis controlled time of possession 13:20 to 6:40.
Just a side note: I really am not understanding the written and unwritten rules of this league. For me, the No. 1 rule was "play like an NFL coach." I'm standing here with a bunch of nobodies, completely over-matched, and so, like a coach, I played to keep the Packers offense off the field. Yes, I ran in a lot in the third and tried to milk the clock. Isn't that what a coach would do in this situation?
Also Pitfall, you may want to mention that you stopped calling plays on defense there at the end. Got a little sleepy myself watching that little circle tick tick away.

[quote name='pitfallharry219']The GB/STL game isn't over just yet, but I'm headed for a loss here in the final seconds. I will say that the game got a little boring when lyric started running the clock down to zero starting at the beginning of the 3rd quarter only up by 10. I nearly fell asleep waiting for him to snap the ball.
Other than that, good game, lyric. I hope we meet again in the playoffs.
24-14, Rams.[/QUOTE]
That does suck from your perspective, but a sound football decision nonetheless.
[quote name='hostyl1']If it makes you feel any better, when I was trying to think why someone would shorten it to 'hosty', the MK "toasty!" was the first thing that came to mind.
Too many video games....

Nice.

I don't know that he was questioning it as a legit tactic, or what a coach would do..I think he was just merely noting it is boring (which it is, however, completely understandable that you would do so).
I would have played it the exact same way. 10 point lead and the ball in the 2nd half, with SJax there to bang out some inside guts and keep Rodgers on the sideline.

Not to be that guy, but you do realize not letting him pick up the 1st down is an option right? I know the other league has some weird problem with people controlling the clock, but to me, it's just as valid a strategy as running with your QB or using a hurry up offense. Just gotta figure out how to stop it.

No, I completely understand that it's just a style of gameplay. I'm definitely not trying to say you broke any rules. It was fine with me. I guess it's more frustration than anything that I didn't get more chances on offense in the second half. Like I said, good game, and no hard feelings from this side.

There is no "unwritten rule" about that. Controlling the clock has always been acknowledged as a valid strategy in this league. It's the other league that condemns you for being "boring". Don't confuse people's personal preference with league policy. That's not the case at all.

Yeah, I get it. You have to admit: Every time you had the ball, you drove right all over me. And you would have had a sizable win over me had I not gotten those three INTs and the fumble. I couldn't stop anything you were doing; I think you punted only once.
I felt fortunate to convert every first down I did. And from my couch, it seemed foolish to give Rodgers any more time on the field than I had to.

OK thanks for the confirmation. I was in the other league when that whole discussion started. I was never in a position of a lead to try to milk the clock, but I did not understand why clock management wasn't considered a valid tactic.

Yea, the fault can lie with me. I was locked onto setting up a game with Seattle, when it was Carolina I needed to contact (I knew I played GB last and had looked at the game before that on the schedule instead of the game after..just a boneheaded move).
Though Car did not reach out to me either, so maybe there was some other things going on too.

No problem. I always thought their issue with it was very "cherry picky" as well. It's easy to tell a team with a stud defense and multiple weapons on offense not to be so "boring". What they see as "boring", weaker teams see as "smart". Just to clarify, there was some discussion on clock management in here a few days ago, and this was my feeling on it (last line of the first paragraph addresses your situation).
[quote name='CAGLeagueSports']Well, in the 4th quarter, with a lead, you SHOULD be doing this. 3rd quarter and a big lead is a gray area, and it's more at your own discretion (really, if someone WANTS to kill the clock the entire game, that's their own business).
But if you're up 35 points in the 3rd quarter and you're still airing the ball out, don't be surprised if your opponent comes in this thread and calls you a douchebag. In that situation, the game is out of reach and the objective should be ending it as quickly as possible. Scoring more points isn't going to do that (of course this doesn't include INTs, fumbles, punt returns, etc.)
But 4th quarter, no question, killing the clock means snapping the ball at under :05 on the play clock. Otherwise, it does look like you're trying to run up the score.[/QUOTE]

Good game man, not a pretty one, but you played well, made less mistakes and earned it. Anytime either of us would start moving the ball, we would find a way to mess it up once we hit the other side of the 50.
ing Ryan with that critical fumble at the end.

All right, after getting that Panthers/Falcons game in and hearing no word from the Eagles owner (who I'm starting to worry just doesn't want to play...first, connection issues...now, non-responsive), we have advanced to Week 7!
Week 6 Summary
Power Rankings
1. St. Louis Rams
2. Arizona Cardinals
3. Denver Broncos
4. Buffalo Bills
5. Kansas City Chiefs
Offensive Player of the Week
Jahvid Best - 18 att, 392 yds, 4 TDs
Defensive Player of the Week
Jonathan Goff - 5 tackles, 2 FF
Also, the deadline for Week 7 will be a little further out to account for a few days of Christmas craziness. I wanted to give a full week, but since we were a day late advancing here, I'm hoping the 28th will still be good enough. Obviously, if we can get done sooner, fantastic! A lot of teams are on bye weeks, so several people only have one game to worry about. Hopefully that will be enough time for everybody to get their game in.

[quote name='jza1218']That site places way too much emphasis on tackles imo.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I actually thought I had a shot with Malcolm Jenkins getting 2 tackles and 3 INTs this week. I guess the 2 forced fumbles is pretty impressive though. I blame those damned sports writers! They're all crooked, I tells ya!

I have to admit, I have never seen anyone do a surprise onside, or did I even know you could.
BTW I apologize, on a couple of those big runs/catches I dove into end zone out of habit. I hope you didn't take offense.

No offense taken at all man! I didn't even notice. Yea I stumbled on that when I was practicing and it's freaking great. Hope it wasn't in bad taste.

If you mean the onside kick then no I don't believe it was in bad taste, it was 1:36 (or something) and you were down by three with no timeouts. I just didn't know you could do that, but after a quick google I will be using it in the future.

Just want to address this before any questions are raised. This was actually an issue in the other league very recently and created a pretty fiery debate. My feeling on it is this: if it's a situation where an onside kick SHOULD be expected, the onus is on the receiving team to line up properly.
If there's a minute left in the game, and your opponent is losing and has no timeouts left, YOU should be expecting an onside kick regardless of how they're lined up. If you see that they line up normally, your spider senses should be tingling. If you're lined up for an onside kick recovery and they actually decide to kick it deep, well then guess what? You kneel the ball on your own 5 yard line if need be and end the game. Beyond the play itself, the "surprise" onside kick is not a surprise in that situation.
In short, Dark Rider's logic is exactly how it should be thought of. But you'd be surprised how many people feel the "surprise" part somehow makes it unfair.

Rams 13
Cowboys 7
Although Dallas stifled St. Louis' running attack in the first half, Steven Jackson finally got going in the second. He went for 173 yards on 20 carries and had one touchdown.
Other than that, the Rams' offense was abysmal. Sam Bradford went 6-of-14 for only 64 yards. Seemed like the Cowboys knew the routes before I called them!
On the other side of the ball, St. Louis got absolutely NO pressure on Tony Romo, and Arian Foster went for 124 yards and a TD.
GG DVO. Didn't think I was going to pull this one out after that first half. Couldn't run to my left to save my life! D. Ware is a beast.

cowboys 7 rams 13
first score of the game was by arian foster with a 58 yard TD run
then in the 2nd quater rams gets a FG
in the 3rd quater Steven Jackson took the ball 46 yards to the house
in the fourth the rams got a FG with 15 seconds left on 4th down he had to kick it i called a timeout he wasnt running the score up at all.
Very great game Worm defensive stops for us both kept this one to a low score. was hoping to knock off the number one power ranking just didnt happen. hope to see u in the playoffs will be a different story next time

One item for discussion: After the ensuing kickoff following that last field goal, there was about 2 seconds on the clock — time for DVO to do one hail mary. He got caught in the 15-second play clock and got a penalty. I accepted the penalty — just hit the A button for the default choice. That resulted in a runoff and, thus, ended the game.
Honestly, I didn't even realize this was something that happened. But as a league, do we want to say that we should decline those? Seems like DVO should have gotten one more play now that I think about it. The chances of that changing anything are really nil, but if he wanted to heave one, I probably should have let him.

[quote name='DVO21']in the fourth the rams got a FG with 15 seconds left on 4th down he had to kick it i called a timeout he wasnt running the score up at all.[/QUOTE]
I don't think anybody would make accusations of "running up the score" in a 3 point game. As you said, you called the timeout, it forced him into a 4th down with a stopped clock. That's just smart football by both sides. Nothing wrong with that!
[quote name='lyric706']One item for discussion: After the ensuing kickoff following that last field goal, there was about 2 seconds on the clock — time for DVO to do one hail mary. He got caught in the 15-second play clock and got a penalty. I accepted the penalty — just hit the A button for the default choice. That resulted in a runoff and, thus, ended the game.
Honestly, I didn't even realize this was something that happened. But as a league, do we want to say that we should decline those? Seems like DVO should have gotten one more play now that I think about it. The chances of that changing anything are really nil, but if he wanted to heave one, I probably should have let him.[/QUOTE]
That's not a Madden thing though. That's an NFL rule. If you take an offensive penalty near the end of the game (final minute I think?) with no timeouts, 10 seconds is run off the clock. No real reason to force people to decline a legitimate penalty when it's just following the NFL rulebook.

[quote name='Docb9110']Yea I'm sorry man! I had him within a touchdown and driving but I threw a pick 6 which blew the game open. I'm sorry g33, you have a great team who had a winning record until I stepped in![/QUOTE]
Don't worry about it, it's not like I'm demanding if you sub for me, you must win. Win or lose, the main goal is to have fun. I don't think my offense can even put up 28 points on any given day, haha.
[quote name='Blade3D']Sorry, I wish we would have gotten to play each other.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, scheduling around the holidays is rough. If I can pull together a decent enough record, perhaps I can get a rematch in the playoffs.

[quote name='Yanksfan']Looks like Falcons-Lions will have to be rescheduled. Don't know if Blade had some issues getting online, overslept or what, but he missed our 11am CST start time. I waited around for 25 minutes and had to move on with my day.[/QUOTE]
Well, when Blade and I tried to play last night he was having connection issues, so that might be it.

I am so sorry. I am free whenever you need the rematch to be.
