Madden 09 League-Congratulations Soodmeg!

Just played week 3 vs. Dallas/popemogoth.

It was a very good, evenly matched game stats wise. As I told him, going for it on 4th and 7 in a 7-0 game in the 1st was pretty cheesy, but other than that one play (which I won't harp on, just making a note) it was a great game. Good opponent.

I was up 10-0, but he came back, threw an amazing TD pass to T.O. after breaking out of a potential sack, and then tied it with a FG as regulation ended. He then intercepted me in OT after I was making some decent progress and won with a field goal.

Cowboys 13, Packers 10 in a snowy battle.

Well played, popemogoth.

Very well played and thank you fro being available to play. I was really looking forward to this game. Yeah 4 & 7 in the 1st was pretty cheesy but I wonder if I had made it or not I forgot. 1 half was all yours, I was a bit disappointed that it always snows in GB and was a bit scared that this might be a fumble fest but our guys did well with holding on to the ball. I'm glad we stepped up and dominated the 2nd half. In the last 2 games Dallas have outscored their opponent 53-10. Who's next?
 
Nah, you slid 1 yard short of the conversion. I hate the fact that it always snows in Green Bay online, but as you said, we were fortunate enough to have no fumbles. Those INTs killed me, though. Hope you enjoyed having a competitive game this time around. ;)

Just curious, do you prefer not to talk during games, or was there some miscommunication? Because we exchanged voice messages prior to the game but you were non responsive once play commenced. Doesn't bother me either way. I was just curious if you were intentionally silent or if I just wasn't hearing you.
 
I played the Carolina Panthers (gregthomas) and won, 24-14. My tight end was clutch and Dellhome had a few interceptions at bad times that helped my win.

I couldn't stop the run worth a shit for an entire drive, even though I tried lots of different defenses. Anyways, fun game.

I think my record is up to 3-2 now.
 
sj41 i thnk i can play our game tommorow night like 8, send me a pm or just post on here. If i cant ill send u a mess

probably a communication error because once the game started I didnt hear from you so i just went ahead and turned down game vol and started a playlist.

49eres over Giants, 7-0

Tough defensive game. Plax had a TD dropped and Niners redzone defense was clutch in the final drive. Mr. Willis sends his regards.
 
GG quan. FYI cags quan is a very good opponent. He did mention something interesting....I was his first opponent that actually used a headset? Is this common? I have used my headset in all but two games because my opponent chose not to use it.
Is this a no headset league?

Oh and ajh when do yu want to setup out giant steeler game?

I prefer it to be a no head set league. In the other madden league I was chatting up a storm with a guy that was controlling the Browns and I must say talkin to your opponent about other things is just too distracting.
 
Hey everybody,

I've been trying to play a few different games, but connection issues are keeping me apart.
ALSO, I'm NOT going to update your record in the standings unless you POST IT. Its a lot of work to manage 32 different records. PLEASE post what your record is.
I also need you to POST the Week of the game played AND THE RECORD OF BOTH TEAMS. Its not hard.

ALSO, I'll be in and out all weekend, but I should be able to get lots of games in.

Oh yeah, and 7 games by November or your booted.

RECAP GIANTS 20 @ Vikings 14

Kudos to AZU for a well played game. This one was close up until the last play when Jacobs does a 25 yard scamper into the end zone to win the game in OT. Bah who needs a field goal!

The story of this game is probably turnovers. Arguably, AZU did a great job of staying in the game even after having 5 turnovers! Giants really failed to capitalize on the turnovers twice throwing INTs in the redzone and twice taking themselves out of field goal range because of Viking sacks. I feel lucky to win the game because I just had so many chances and didnt capitalize. Usually when that happens you lose the game but I won.

1st Quarter Vikings win the toss and elect to receive. Vikings go 3 and out and the Giants proceed to march down the field helped out by a deep fly pattern to Burress and a short Jacobs TD run to make it 7-0.
Vikings mount a drive and march right back highlighted by a 21 yard pass to Shiancoe and lots of AP.

The game remains scoreless until the 4th quarter when the Giants take the lead on a long drive capped off by another Jacobs short TD run. Vikings answer right back and tie the game with about a minute left to go in the fourth quarter.

Giants are determined to score and actually hit Smith across the middle of the field for a 28 yard pass into Vikings Territory. Giants get as close as the 26 but get sacked on 2 of the next 3 plays to take them completely out of field goal range. A last minute bomb is dropped by Burress, which he has been doing a lot of lately and the game heads in OT.

Vikings win the TOSS but turn the ball over at around midfield on the Giants 5th INT of the game.
At this point, I am not going to make the same mistake and get sacked and take myself out of field goal range. I run left with Jacobs on a counter play, break a beastly tackle by Jared Allen and get 14 yards to put myself at the 25 yard line and in field goal range!. I know I am not passing until I go for the field goal at this point. I run an off tackle straight up the gut and Jacobs runs it right down the middle of the field for a 25 yard scamper and his third touchdown of the game...only one short of Al Bundy's High School record! Jacobs did a great job on the final drive breaking at least 4 tackles to secure victory for the GMEN!

RECAP COWBOYS 9 GIANTS 19 (Giants win and go to 6-2)

The story of this game is the GIANT D and very efficient passing by Eli Manning. This was a well played game throughout and kudos to popegomoth. Cya in Dallas for the rematch.

1st quarter-Giants win the toss and elect to receive. 2nd or 3rd play of the game is a short screen pass to Ahmad Bradshaw which he fumbles!!! Its a fumble. Cowboys recover but the Giants are able to hold Dallas to a Field Goal and limit the damage.

Giants get the ball and mount a 6 or 7 play 80 yard drive on the arm of Eli Manning. Cowboys were intent on stopping the run so the Giants audibled out of running plays and threw it in the air with Plaxico serving as Eli's main target.

Now we are still in the first half and this is where the fun starts as the Cowboys turn the ball over 3 times before the half. Giants score another TD before the half on a long drive. A Short pass to Plaxico caps the drive and Plaxico would end with two TDS on the day. Cowboys get the ball back and Justin Tuck sacks Romo for a safety! Giants go up 16-3 before the half

Cowboys again get the ball after the kickoff and throw another INT just before the half which gives the Giants 1 second on the clock to kick a Field Goal to make it 19-3 at the half.

Second Half-The Cowboys get the ball to begin the half and proceed to mount a long drive which takes the entire Third Quarter. Cowboys have fourth and goal and have to go for it because they are down 16 points. Cowboys go for it and the ball is defended and the Giants get the ball back and begin to run the ball down the Cowboys throat and continue to take time off the clock. Giants get the ball to about the Cowboys 45 yard line before they are stopped and have to kick it away. Giants punt and are able to pin the Cowboys at the 2 yard line.

This however does not stop the boys as they mount a long drive and score, go for 2, but miss the 2 point conversion! Giants now up 19-9 so the game is pretty much over at this point. Cowboys do go for onside kick and make it but that is too little to late and Giants win 19-9.

Week 13
Seattle at Dallas
Seattle Seahawks - 31
Dallas Cowboys - 24

We had to do two games. I d/c'd in the 2nd Q because the power went out in my house when a hairdryer was plugged in. Cowboys up 7-0 in the 1st game, we agreed to end it after the 3rd in the our 2nd game.

2nd game, Cowboys force some TOs via sacks. Seahawks couldn't run the ball, so they aired it out to Engram and Branch. Branch ended up with 100+ rec. yards and 2 TDs. However, the Seahawks couldn't stop Witten, Barber, or Owens. "Tied" at 24-24 (+7, Cowboys win) after the 3rd. We continued the game anyways since it was fun. Cowboys pull a late drive. On 2nd down and what, 8?, Romo looks to pass and gets sacked all the way to SEA 48. 3rd and like, 28, Cowboys make a nice pass back to SEA's 34 yd line. 51 yd kick.. good! Game over. I would've had a couple of seconds on the clock if I had all my timeouts, but I used them in the 3rd to "complete" the game. Oh well, I doubt I could've hail mary'd it. GG.. both games, lol.

Seahawks new record: (1-4)

Close match-up. Eagles were plagued with fumbles, having 3 and losing 2. Cowboys moved the ball well but stalled in Eagles territory.

I agree it was a battle of turnovers. I thought you were going to score and take the lead on your last drive. I also thought that I should have got an interferance call on the punt your guy fumbled and the play the refs reviewed when I caught the ball going OOB on a 3rd down play...I had already picked my punt formation and the computer, for once, gave me one.
 
Anyone that needs to play me, PM me or try to catch me on xbox live. I'm going to start working next week, so my hours are gonna be really weird except on the weekends when I might be out of town, I'll be on tonight if anyone needs to play the Eagles.

49ers over Cowboys 14-7

First game we got d/c after Cowboys scored on their opening possession with 1:30 remaining in the 1st quarter. We started another game and it was my turn to get the ball. I scored my last TD in the 4th with less than a minute remaining I think, so it probably shouldn't count towards the score since we brought the Cowboys first TD over to the second game.

49ers (6-2), (1-1) NFC West

[quote name='pitfallharry219']If any spots open up, I'd be glad to take over a team. I just got the game today.[/quote]


Azu i have spoken with pitfall and he will be taking over my spot as the Jets.
 
Hey I think everyone should report all their weekly games and record in one big post by this Friday 10/17/08 just so we can help AZU update the League board. I think a 1 week deadline is more than enough time out of your busy schedule for those who are still interested in this league. It would only take 2 minutes and It would definitely help him out a lot with the cut coming up in a few weeks.

Week 12
Oakland 24
Denver 7

Wow...I just took a beating from X The Rock 88 X. After starting the game with a good kick return + a facemask penalty, I thought I was in for a good day. Got the ball down to his 41, but on a 4th and 1, I decided to "play right" and didn't QB sneak. I KNEW I should have...that's just how I would have played it, even that early.

Instead, I punted, and that was practically the best field position I had all game. Denver sucks. I hate Jay Cutler. I'd like to punch him in his 12 year-old looking face. Not to say that The Rock didn't play well. He really did. His DB's were all over my shit, and I couldn't do anything. It's just pathetic that I play better with St. Louis than I do with Denver (or even Buffalo for that matter). Losing sucks.
