[quote name='Wpark83']How's it going guys? Anything fun going on in here today?[/QUOTE]

It depends on your feelings on OJ.

[quote name='DVO21']lol tons
by the way out of curiosity did that newly found info that i put together at all change thoughts on that trade?[/QUOTE]

What exactly are you taking credit for here? I'm not even sure I know what you're referring to.

The Cowboys/Pats trade
And nothing's changed until they resubmit the trade with accurate contract information.

Ah, yes...I'm glad he figured that one out for us. But yeah...it was rejected, so it stands rejected until submitted again. They could have changed their minds for all we know.

kaster got it prolly should have made that more detailed than i did

ya the layout they used for contract info was miss leading for sure on how much was going where
 
[quote name='Docb9110']How's the texans trade looking?[/QUOTE]

One response so far. It was just resubmitted like an hour ago. Lets give people time.

It wasn't misleading. It was wrong. The dollar amounts given were for the full contracts. I wouldn't have a problem with people listing it as a total, but it's definitely more involved, as it requires adding up the individual yearly salary totals yourself (which is what I was told was done). But yeah...listing each year separately is more "idiot proof"....as you're just copying what the game shows.
 
[quote name='CAGLeagueSports']Anything ever get resolved with this? This is pretty awful for this to be happening on the day of the deadline. I guess we could wait until the originally agreed upon time, but it's unfortunate that the communication broke down the way it did.[/QUOTE]

He PM'ed me more than 2 hours later saying if he's not back by 9pm ET to play the CPU.. I doubt he put himself on auto-pilot so could you do that for me when/if that time comes? I'll get the game over with as quickly as possible

That sucks, we have been waiting on this game all day.

i was hoping that u and i could get our game in tonight but its not very likely at this point

It's especially upsetting since he spent a good portion of today in here arguing and scrubbing Jay Cutler's name off the water tower. I could easily see that being filed under "bored at work"...but on a Sunday? Anyway...I'll put him on auto here in a few minutes.
 
It just pisses me off. Mother fucker sent me a PM saying "OK i'll hop on now"... and left me hanging for 2 hours. i know stuff comes up but damn. anyways i'll get this game done now

i know its sucks but lets not be rash something very well important could have came up and he may not have had the time i know it seems unlikely becuz of the conversation thats was going on in the thread but i know for fact he was ready to play that game so we could advance he was PMing me about it so lets just hope it was loss of power or internet or something not so serious as a family emergency

That's true. I'm sure he has a legitimate reason and hopefully it wasn't anything too serious.
 
In response to the issue with the Cowboys/Pats trade proposal we had today, we're going to tweak the trade proposal format even more. Basically, the committee is just trying to get these proposals to a point where we can just look at them and KNOW whether or not they'll work without having to load up the game. Again, that's going to require a little extra work from everybody. But a little extra work from everyone is better than a lot of extra work for a couple people.

So, here is the revised format for submitting trades (mostly the same...just a couple additions...which I put in bold).

And we have advanced to Week 3. I'm going to put a deadline of 1/10 on these games, but it would be nice to get them done earlier since we're getting a bit of a headstart.
 
Anybody want QB Matt Schaub? After 2 more INT's against the cpu, I finally realize it doesn't matter who my QB is, I keep making bad decisions...so going with Tebow from now on. I find that I make less mistakes with him since I don't try to do too much.

Schaub's ratings:
OVR 86
THP 88
SAC 91
MAC 85
DAC 83
PAC 92
AWR 87

Contract (minus his bonus): $49.7 Mil over 7 years.

Looking to trade for picks

Are you sure you don't have a tattoo of your wife wearing a Matt Schaub jersey? Because that could be awkward...
 
49ers over the bengals 10-49 trust me its not as bad as it looks at al. it was 10-17 going into the fourth then i got maddened really hard. blade scored a touchdown then luck fumbles the ball blade line picks it is falling over and my guys push him in. the very next offense play its happened again to luck fumble scored not his fault he tried not but he couldnt. so that fourht quarter dont worry abut blade being a dick. i got maddened hard at one we but though i was going to win with al fumbles i forced but only recovered one 3 or 4 INTS but it wasnt enough sproles did very well though im going to try and high more into the play book and time goes on
 
49ers over the Bengals

It was 14-10(49ers) going into the 4th. 49ers scored on a pass to Fleener to go up 21-10. 49ers tried running the clock out but the Bengals weren't giving up, with just a little over 2 minutes 49ers make a pass to Bowe to go up 28-10. This is where the score goes out of whack. Luck fumbles on around the 5 or so, and Haralson (I think) picks it up and runs it in for a TD. Then the Bengals get the ball back, Luck scrambles gets hit, fumbles the ball into the end zone and Justin Smith recoveries it there for another TD. This is how 28 points were scored in the 4th quarter.
 
Justin Tuck got 2 tackles, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble, I am pretty happy with how he played. I haven't gotten a chance to try Andy Dalton out.

Rub it in. I never got anything out of him.
 
ya im pretty happy with wut i got out of sproles its almost like having foster back but better becuz he has nice hands. cruz will be missed but mathews can step up and take over the spot after a season he should become a best. i like to one two bunch combo of sproles and BJGE alot.

bengals might be needing improve a little bit on the o line in certain spots that will have to be addressed thru the draft or possibly through trades. if i did improve i would send my start plus a 2nd round pick with him atleast i will have to take a look at my line tonight and find the problem child of the line soon.

really glad that my defense came out to play agianst the 49ers i was starting to worry about it after playing the titans but i found out it was just the formation type i was using to defend with against them that was the issue. but when madden doesnt want u to win it wont let u. and on one throw to stephen all alone and deep luck managed to over throw him big time i was very upset about that lost alot of momentum on offense with that play
 
I hate when Stafford over throws someone who is wide open I turned him into a beast and expect only the best from him at this point when I air it out.

O-line problems are usually pretty easy to figure out, you will probably be able to correct them just throughtout the season.

Anyone know the best way to get in touch with Steggy? I've pm'ed him twice but haven't gotten a response back yet.

ya o line awareness pass block run block and impact blocking is all pretty cheap its the strength thats really expensive but i think as long as its above 88 thats good 94 above is great.

only way ive ever reached him is pms

What formation/plays do you use to stop the run? I feel like i've tried everything to stop the outside run but it still kills me everytime
 
Sometimes you just have to guess the run side, spread the line and user a safety to put him in position. As weird as it sounds one defense could work great for DVO and terrible for you with your DB's. Just play practice a ton and try to figure out which holes different players tend to stuff, where your weak links are and try to user different players to see if that helps.

ya hes right becuz thats exactly wut i did after playing the titans i used my practice from that week to work on it for the next game becuz i know blade likes to run
 
I find mixing in play action helps too. Also, depending on your RB, it's worth it to run in an obvious passing situation early in the game. A speedy back can easily pick up a 3rd and 7 if the defense is in pass coverage.
 
I've put out some feelers, but the market is slim for good receiving options. Hit me up if anyone is looking to get rid of one.

Bears trading block:

Julius Peppers - 99 OVR, the best DE in the game
First round picks - x2, mine and the Jets
 
I believe I'll be done trading for the season until the draft, where I may trade picks around. At this point I think I am only looking for good backups. I used Andy Dalton in practice last night. He will do and is definitely better than the guy I had.
 
Ravens trade block:

QB Joe Flacco 88 OVR - unlikely to be traded due to large cap penalty
RB Ray Rice 95 OVR
RT Michael Oher 84 OVR
DE Pernell McPhee 83 OVR
DE A.J. Gilbert 80 OVR - rookie speed rusher
DT Terrence Cody 85 OVR - great run stopper
All my draft picks are available - I don't have any extra picks, just 1-7

Send me a message if you are interested in any of these players. My main positions I am looking for are WR, TE, C, CB, OT, but I'm open to looking at your roster to see if there is anyone else I would be interested in.
 
Broncos fall to the Patriots 7-3

Absolutely ridiculous game. The Patriots Run D was insane. I have never seen AIs who hit as hard as they do. My RBs coughed up the ball three times in field goal range.

Gronkoski. Enough said. If he were in Rome they would have deemed him a god. Just throw it near him and you've got a catch. Kinda ridiculous how jacked up he is in Madden.

Good Game AllenScribe! I feel like Madden didn't like me running the ball. My team is not really set up for passing.
