CAG Madden 11 League 2 - Season 2! Week 10 Deadline Sat night. TEAMS OPEN!

I set up a google voice number that sends texts to my phone immediately. This is a good option for everyone who isn't comfortable giving out their actual phone number, but is looking to communicate better.
# is (804) 719-1274
 
Raiders 41
Texans 31

The Raiders finally get a win after dropping their first three. The victory can be credited to the new additions on offense with Carson Palmer throwing 4 TDs and no interceptions, and Cedric Benson adding 126 yards and a TD on 18 brusing carries. With Darrius Heyward-Bey out for 8 more weeks, Carson Palmer seems to have found instant chemistry with Chaz Schilens, who had a career high 147 yards and 2 TDs. Defensively, Mario Williams had a tackle and a sack in his first game as an Oakland Raider.

Matt Schaub threw for 466 yards and 4 TDs but was picked off twice (the 2nd being a deep lob at the end of the game). Andre The Giant caught 13 passes for 265 yards and 2 TDs (given the current state of Oakland's CB corps, he was held in check).

I lost more than the game.

Demeco Ryans (90) - 10 Weeks
Glover Quin (76) - 9 Weeks

I also never picked up a FA, so how many am I allowed to pick up?
 
I've had Greg Jennings out a couple weeks (out 5 more still). Whatever happened to just playing through the injuries? I'm not picking someone up to cover an injured player.

playing thru happens regardless of whether u pick someone up or not. Greg Jennings being out doesnt hurt your team as much cuz u still have Donald Driver, James Jones, Jordy Nelson, and someone else who's name eludes me right now... not to mention Jermichael Finley (Hook Em Horns!!!) and Donald Lee.... all very capapble receivers. With the Raider team i have, my receiving corps is Louis Murphy, Chaz Schilens, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Johnnie Lee Higgins, Jacoby Ford WAS there and Nick Miller. Heyward-Bey was my biggest threat in the passing game and i lost him in week 1. Let's not ignore the fact that my top receiver would be a third or fourth option on most teams right now. I played two more weeks without him before even considering picking up a receiver. After taking 3 straight losses, i realized that i had 2 non-receivers playing wide out when i went 4 and 5 wide. The way i play, i need certain types of players in certain spots and that wasnt cutting it... I guess its all of no consequence now that i was able to morph the team into a run first team that i usually put on the field and there is a huge difference in throwing the ball to bum receivers with Jason Campbell and throwing to them with Carson Palmer. I'm done talking about the whole thing cuz all it's gonna do is waste time and thread space so... Go Raiders!

Lol James Jones and Jordy Nelson are very mediocre receivers...they're right on par with Schilens and Murphy. Green Bay and Oakland's receiving corps are pretty similar at the moment aside from the anomaly known as Donald Driver. And you mention Finley for the Packers but you neglect to mention that you have arguably an even better TE in Zach Miller. You're making your team out to be worse than it really is...you can do perfectly fine with your receivers. Like I've said before...having good receivers is more of a luxury than a necessity. My receiving corps on the Panthers is even worse than your Raiders and I never complain about it nor do I find it detrimental whatsoever.

But you said you're done talking about it so I'm not trying to start anything back up...I'm just saying, you're not as bad off as you're making yourself out to be. I think you just need to adjust your gameplan to better utilize what you have. You obviously can't use your Raiders the same way as you use your Ravens. You're transitioning from a team with Steve Smith and Anquan Boldin to a team with a 73 (I think) as your highest rated receiver. If I were you, I'd probably find better ways to incorporate Zach Miller more into your passing game.
 
with jason campbell throwing the ball, the skill level of his receivers is very important. that's not really the case with carson palmer so my issue isn't really an issue anymore. my thing was I lost a major weapon to injury and I have to pick up someone who is more of a liability than anything else AND I can't do what coaches do and use him the best way I can to get production out of him. that's absolutely ridiculous
 
anyone want to trade me a cb or a lb that can catch the ball when they go for the pick i will trade anyone...even calvin johnson

Might as well put it out there now, the Patriots will not be entertaining any trades. So please no crazy offers.[/QUOTE]

If that's a real trade I have to say I don't know why you'd do that. You complained about your Arizona QBs all the time, you finally get Brady and you deal him for Stafford? He isn't bad, but he isn't all that great either. Plus Best does a lot of the same things Woodhead does. CJ is a pretty big upgrade, but someone needs to be able to get him the ball haha.

Obviously I wouldn't vote against it, but as someone who knows Darth and his popular topics of bitching I find the trade sort of amusing as I can hearing the cursing of Stafford's name already.
 
Jags sneak out another win and defeat the Colts, 29-20.

The Colts next 7 opponents can thank me now because I somehow took out Freeney. His front line is just ridiculous. I couldn't get the run game going for the life of me. I thought I could use McCoy's speed to bounce it to the outside and his LBs would be there to snuff that idea out real quick.

The bright spot looked to be my new passing game, which I was trying to utilize with the Denver playbook. It looked like Garrard was going to be passing the lights out, but that only lasted a drive or two. New offensive playbook next week. The real bright spot was somehow Jacksonville's defense. My new starting MLB (thanks to injury) is doing well with his additional playing time. Allen forced 3 fumbles, recovered 1 of them and had 2 INTs. Definitely putting him as a front runner for this week's DPOW.

Scobee was my offensive MVP with 5 field goals from 30, 48, 49, 41 and finally a 56 yarder to put the game out of reach. This was in the rain and wind as well, so he really came through for me when my offense stalled on the Colts side of the field. GG.

You can pick up fill-ins for those two guys following the usual rules.

It's not even slightly ridiculous, let alone absolutely. You're welcome to continue saying so, but the discussion is over.

Alright, id much rather play the game today though.
 
Chargers/Cardinals: Who is the Cardinals owner? The OP says, "On Hold". If there is an owner, I have not heard from him. It doesn't matter though at this point. I posted before saying I'd be very busy for a few days and would have limited time to play, but that a sub/temp boot might be needed. Things have been busier than expected and I just won't have time this (in-game) week. I'll be en route to San Diego very soon. I'll be back Tuesday and ready to play my next game pretty much whenever after we advance.
 
Sent a message over XBL to the Bengals never got a response, havnt checked yet today but got shiznit to do. Hookers dont buy themselves ya know.
