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

[quote name='Darth0fTheDead']I still suck but, one of the things that helped me improve was to go into practice mode on all madden and just have the cpu run random whiling sticking with using your FS/SS. Even after an hour you should notice a big difference and it should help you with your audibles too.

I got the day off so I'd be happy to get a couple of scrims in before the MNF game.[/QUOTE]

Hey darth, I just saw this now during the MNF game. I will be around tomorrow night, if you want to get a scrim in. I will try what you said using the fs/ss.

sometime tomorrow night works for me
 
Chicago 38, Detroit 28

The Bears got their 2010 season started in the right direction with a solid victory over the visiting Lions. Jay Cutler brought his talent rather than his brain to the field today, as he was magnificent, going 18 of 26 for 361 yards and 4 TDs. He used all his receivers, with 5 different receivers going for at least 40 yards. Olsen was the main beneficiary, catching 4 balls for 104 yards and 2 scores. Knok had one catch but it was a 78 yard TD when Cutler read a corner blitz perfectly and zipped it to Knox who went untouched to the endzone. Forte had a good game as well, rushing 15 times for 79 yards and a score and also added 4 catches for 48 yards.

On the Detroit side Jahvid Best was a beast, rushing 16 times for 164 yards and 3 scores, basically doing whatever he wanted to the Bears D. Stafford was average, going 9 of 17 for 208 yards, a score and a pick. The TD was the last score of the game and was a beautiful bomb to Megatron (who was double covered, as he was most of the game). It was his only catch.

gg Tanabeo! You're a good player, I'm glad we have you in the league and the division!

Just to clear up something, since he asked me a question about it: When running out the clock on the last drive I went for it on 4th and 3 from around his 20 with about 12 seconds left and a 10 point lead (I converted on a Taylor run, not that the result matters). Just so everyone knows this is one of those situations where it's okay to go for it, and most NFL coaches would. There's little benefit to a FG there, especially when you can win the game with a 1st down, and you're too close in to punt. Plus, there's always the chance of a block (less so in Madden, but still). Obviously doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of the game, but I just wanted to put it out there for everyone's information.
 
[quote name='theredworm']are you setting this league up on that site that uber mentioned today?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I plan to. I've got to look it over a bit, and I know you need to e-mail the guy to get it set up. I'm pretty sick and will be out of work again tomorrow, so maybe I'll take the time to look into it then.

Oh, that also means I'll be around most of the day tomorrow if anyone wants to get in some practice.
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']im trying to go 0-16 to repeat what happened to the lions back in 08[/QUOTE]

You'll definitely win games in this league, trust me. You gave me all I could handle, you really had the running game working I couldn't stop anything. :D
 
Games left:

Raiders-Titans (tomorrow night)
Packers-Eagles (Wednesday afternoon)
Cowboys-Redskins (?)
Ravens-Jets (?)
Chargers-Chiefs (I was under the impression this was being played tonight?)

Sorry if I missed updates on these, I've been pretty sick all day as I mentioned and somewhat out of it.

I'd like to advance Wednesday night if possible, so far it seems like we're on track to do that.

We actually made it to the 4th quarter with about 2+ minutes left and got disconnected, we are scheduled to try again tonight around 6:30 pm est.
 
Haven't heard from Superstar about our game - friend requested, PM'd and posted request with no success - come on Cowboys...

Alright.

Looks like he hasn't been online since Sunday night, so I doubt he's avoiding you or anything. Hopefully he'll turn up today.
 
[quote name='RamesuThe1']We actually made it to the 4th quarter with about 2+ minutes left and got disconnected, we are scheduled to try again tonight around 6:30 pm est.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that sucked. Ramesu was up 24-21, but I had the ball and was attempting to try to tie it or take the lead. What happened on your end, Ramesu? I got the "Connection to opponent/peer has been lost" message, but I didn't even get the "Quit Game and Don't Count" option; just "End Game". Not that I would have counted it... I was just curious since I'd not seen that variation on the drop message before.

Hopefully our game today can live up to the back and forth battle we had going yesterday.
 
I know how that feels. Just be glad Ramesu didn't count the game and not tell you. :roll:

I doubt anyone who's been reading the other thread if going to try that malarkey over in this league. :D

Games left:

Raiders-Titans (tonight)
Packers-Eagles (Tomorrow afternoon)
Cowboys-Redskins (Cowboys MIA)
Ravens-Jets (What's going on with this one?)
Chargers-Chiefs (Replaying tonight)
 
I'd imagine it wouldn't have even given him the option since I was still in the game, but I guess that's beside the point. I did have that ordeal when I had my opponent leave his Xbox on for several hours, trying to decide whether or not to count a 2 score game that dropped in the 2nd quarter, so I can relate a little bit.

I got the same message each time it dropped, I imagine it's a server issue, but idk.
 
The Seahawks have now been filled, leaving us with one team (Arizona) unspoken for. I would love to have a full league, so anyone else who has a friend who wants to play, get them in now!
 
Uber - Is there a way to temporarily drop owners without banning them? I had to kick two (Appleinthetree and Stickmn) to open up the teams, but apparently they can't rejoin. I sent them invites back in, but is that the only way to do it?

Yup. If you boot them instead of them quitting then you need to send them invites to get back in.

K, good to know.

Raiders-Titans (tonight)

Ravens-Jets (Talked to Steggy, he's hoping to get it in tonight)

I've added all the gamertags as well as CAG names to the OP. XpG CheesyMan C (Browns) still needs to register for CAG.. Can one of you guys who's friends with him ask him to do so, or if he has stop by the thread? Thanks!
 
As I expected, the rematch didn't go as well for me as the first go-around with Ramesu. I went down big early, came back and cut it to 24-21 (same score as the first game had with 2 minutes left) just before halftime, and then he ran back the ensuing kickoff with Dexter McCluster to make it 31-21 Chiefs at the half. Jamaal Charles ran all over me for 219 yards and 4 TDs, while Philip Rivers threw 4 touchdown passes and ran for another score, but also tossed 2 interceptions.

Kansas City Chiefs 52, San Diego Chargers 35

my apologies kay... things have been crazy for me all week. wednesday night I should be free. I gotta go to baltimore at 7:30 but I should be home no later than 11
 
Three games left:

Raiders-Titans (Tonight)
Packers-Eagles (Today I assume?)
Ravens-Jets (Any word guys?)

I would like for that Raiders-Titans game to be the last one of the week and for us to advance tonight. That means you other 4 should try and get your games in this evening as well.

gb was wanting to play at 6pm est I think, I'm available all day.
 
I swear when I was in the league last night there was no owner assigned to the vikings....am I crazy?
 
[quote name='pmm317']so if he is my week 2 opponent - do i wait it out or will someone sub for him?[/QUOTE]

someone will sub.
 
[quote name='gbpackers94']Dear Madden,
Just because vick is a Qb doesn't mean he should fumble every time.

P.s. fuck you madden[/QUOTE]

That is funny.
 
Packers 54, Eagles 42
Despite a dominant performance by vick, turnovers killed the eagles in the long-run, 4 fumbles and two interceptions.

fumble fingers all around for the Eagles (Vick had 3)

Jermichael Finley let us know it's his world and we're just living in it with 315 yards 12 rec and 5 tds

Every QB in Madden fumbles on about 50% of scrambles or more, even Vick. I would always run out of bounds or slide.
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']lets hope vick keeps up the fumbles i think i play him week 2....[/QUOTE]

Yes you do. Assuming we advance tomorrow I can play from 6pm-10pm (est)
 
[quote name='theredworm']I thought the plan was to advance tonight.[/QUOTE]

I still hope to if we can get these last 2 games played..
