Madden 11 League-OFFICIAL CAG LEAGUE-That's all folks! Mini-tourney still coming tho!

[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']Yea I was looking for a response outta you doom but yea that's my goal a 16 and 0 season.[/QUOTE]
I was close in season 1 but I had that stupid tie. Tough to play that many games in a row and be on point every time.

Good luck with your goal. I'll be looking to bust it. :) And no I'm not trading you Ford. I know you're thinking it.

That tie should have been a loss. :bomb:

This season's tie at least we played two and each won one, last season I won the only game we played for it.

I fully expect our annual tradition to continue. :D

lol I'd like to finish one season without an ugly tie in my record. Hopefully next season.
 
[quote name='theredworm']I just want to break even, tired of being in the red all season. Baby steps.....[/QUOTE]
Learn to run with Boutte and you'll do very well. Takes a lot of time to perfect the run game though. There are a lot of crappy plays.
 
Next season if we need to do a scrim I'm going to insist we sub in the Bears and Bucs. Our games between them so far have redefined the hammer and nail nature of our Raiders-Chargers games. :D

No thanks. :lol: Although I didn't run the ball at all in that last scrim. Pretty stupid way to play with the Bucs especially because they don't know how to get any separation at all. This is going to be a long season. :bouncy:
 
Panthers win 34-7...thanks for everyone's overwhelming support. Hard to pick a player of the game...had a bunch of solid performances from a lot of different players on my team. Pretty modest stats from everyone...Gamble had 2 picks though, that's probably the craziest thing you'll see from the stat board. Ryan Kalil broke his ribs that game and he'll STILL be back this week for the NFC Championship game...that is dedication, take note all you sissies with your season-ending broken collarbones and such.

BigAT - I'm gone for the rest of the night (unless you wanted to play around 2 a.m. EST or something...); I should be good to go any time tomorrow before around 6 p.m. EST. Sorry if I'm holding things up again, my family plans too many Christmas parties (got one tonight, one tomorrow night, and a third on Christmas).
 
Umm is 10:00 a.m. EST okay with you? I'm not a morning person at ALL so that's really early for me but definitely manageable...just let me know so I can set my alarm :) If you'd prefer 9:00 EST I could probably manage that too, I know I'm holding everyone up so I'll try to get the game in as soon as possible. So let me know if you can do 10:00 or if you'd prefer 9:00 instead.
 
Are no games being played tonight? My bro wants to take his xbox somewhere tonight and I'm waiting to get some chest xrays. I can hold him up but he won't be happy haha.

If that early is rough on you, I can definitely do 11 AM if it's better for you.

We need you to advance it, but both championship games aren't getting played tonight so I don't think you will need to advance it to the Super Bowl until tomorrow.
 
I'll take the Raiders and Panthers in the SB and then the Panthers to win it. He's had to be playing at a high level considering he traded away the 2 biggest names on his offense, Smith and Williams (I still hate you for trading Williams to someone in my division btw). Not to mention I just don't want to see someone win the SB consecutively.

P.S. Doom ... my dog, what happened to the Super Bowl hangover? I needed another EARLY 1st round pick not a thirty-something! I've been looking at your numbers with Fitz regularly and I'm glad he's in more capable hands. He's been missed. :cry:

You'll still land a great player from the 29-32 slot in the 1st round.:)

That Fitz trade really turned my season around because just having that threat on the field really got my offense going again.

Also winners for the awards will be announced tomorrow.
 
I'll take Doom out of the AFC and BigAT out of the NFC (sorry sheriff!) I know BigAT has to remember just missing the big game last year, so I think he gets over the hump.

Doom to repeat as champion.

agreed
 
10:00 a.m. EST is fine BigAT...let's go with that unless it doesn't work for you. And I'd go with BigAT to win anyways...my 14-2 record came with little opposition, I had the easiest schedule in the entire league.

Sounds good.

Just noticed that uber hasn't advanced us yet, is that going to happen before tomorrow morning?
 
I want to wish everybody an early Merry Christmas!

I'm going to be taking a much needed break from Madden (until the draft for next season starts.)

I should be getting Assassins Creed: Brotherhood for Christmas, so if anybody has it and whats to play hit me up.

MasterAwesome vs. Doomtime

Champion: Doomtime
 
[quote name='gbpackers94']:nottalking:[/QUOTE]

Lol not to say anything bad about my opponents (my divisional rivals in particular...), just telling it how it is according to the Xtreme.net site!! I had a LOT of tough games over the course of the season...my games with you included. Then there's the newcomer Bucs who made the playoffs and surprised a lot of people and Scotts who routinely makes the playoffs every season except this one. I find our division to be pretty underrated...I have no idea how you ended up 3-13 this season to be honest, I'd write it off as a tough schedule.
 
Panthers advance to the Super Bowl after defeating the Giants 38-15.

I couldn't get anything going offensively for pretty much the entirety of the game. Then my defense was somehow getting absolutely shredded by low rated HBs that were playing WR for whatever reason. I don't know if there's something about lining up a HB as a WR that makes them more effective or something, never really tried it. Regardless, I was forced into passing a lot more than I would have liked and it only made things worse. Much worse. I don't know if injuries finally caught up to my team or what, but this was never really a close one.

GG Master and GL in the Super Bowl.
 
Thanks gg man, your running game was killing me so I'm lucky I got to an early lead. Mine on the other hand...13 carries for 19 yards.

And just to clear some things up: Mike Goodson (HB) is my second string WR. He's rated a 70 as a WR (he has a 79 CTCH rating) so he's technically tied for my best rated WR at the moment with LaFell out due to injury. And come on...he only broke away on ONE pass play the entire game. It was nothing special, he just managed to beat the press so I threw a quick pass to him and he ran for 40+ yards after the catch. He had TWO PASSES the entire game and one was a 4 yard TD pass at the goal line. You make it seem like I was passing it to him the entire game and exploiting him somehow. I don't think the game gives HBs an advantage when they're lined up at WR...it's just based on their stats. Mike Goodson has a 96 ACC rating and 77 Release (which I know isn't great, but it's the best on my team and plenty enough to beat the press from time to time). When my opponent presses with his DBs, the first thing I look for is for my receiver to push off and get open right from the start. Goodson only managed that one time the whole game (and if I'm not mistaken, you were pressing with your DBs fairly often). And Mike Goodson is the only HB I have in the WR position, everyone else are legitimate WR's. You said you were "getting shredded by low rated HBs that were playing WR" so just wanted to clear that up too.

If anyone thinks it's fishy at all to put an HB in the WR position then I'll take him out of my already horrible receiving lineup and replace him, but I've never heard any complaints about that and don't see why there would be. If you look at Goodson's stats for the season, they're pretty standard for a 2nd string or 3rd string WR so he's obviously not being exploited by any means. And the game automatically has Mike Goodson as my 3rd string WR on the depth chart anyways (cause it does it by rating), so it wasn't like I put him in there thinking "what's the next exploit I can come up with today...".
 
I don't think it made a difference in the game at all, I was just surprised out how effective he was considering he's a pretty low rated HB.
 
It was only one play though so you can't generalize him (or even further, all HB's lined up as WR's) as being effective based on one play. That turned out to be a very effective PLAY definitely. But if someone ran a QB sneak like 5 times in one game and somehow one time a hole opened up and that QB got 12 yards on that sneak, you can't say in general "man QB sneaks are so effective". Out of my 14 pass attempts that game, Goodson caught 2 passes (one being a 4 yard TD pass) so to say that you were surprised at how effective he was that game seems a bit too high of praise for him. I don't know if my point is coming across as I'm intending...but it's not a big deal, I just wanted to clear things up because the way you worded your previous post made it seem like I was exploiting the game somehow, kind of similar to when you blitz with a LB and the O-line doesn't respond very well to it.
 
But QB sneaks are ridiculously effective at least in short yardage :p

I tried putting leon washington at receiver but it seemed my qb could never throw it accurately to him
 
Looks like the AFC Championship game might have disconnected.. It's been hung up at 21-21 in the 3rd for a while and Doom is no longer on XBL..

I only mention it since I'm waiting to play mog in the other league after and I've only got about an hour and a half left in which I can play today.

Edit: Nevermind, it's the 4th quarter now, Doom must just be invisible for some reason.
 
Oh and as far as my schedule's concerned for the day...I'm going out and will be back around 2:10 p.m. EST and will be able to play until around 5:30 p.m. EST. Well, we're having a bunch of guests over at our house at 5:30 today but I can manage to sneak upstairs and play our game sometime tonight if necessary. But between 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. EST is optimal.
 
Jesus christ disconnected in overtime. I cannot believe this keeps happening to me

Well what can I say. Great game all around. He was at his 45 when we disconnected. Great game of back and forth. I tied the game as time expired.

Are you guys trying again now?[/QUOTE]
I have no idea. Really don't want to play a full game again.
 
I've got to get my game in with him now if possible since I'm leaving soon and won't be back until Sunday.

Obviously a playoff game is a priority if you guys can play now, but I do want to get this other one in.
 
well harris ill play u in a sec and DOOM I think you pulled the plug but im not here to talk about it i guess i gotta do it all over again I think Doom gets special attention in this league cause I know for a fact if this happen to me or sprice we would of got a punishment or something but hey ill have to play him again SMH

Why would I pull the plug? I can take a loss no problem. And we're already past the problems with sprice. I'm over it, you should be too.

I can't control the internet, wish I could but I can't.

And also, when you messaged me about that 4th and 5 on your 41 and I converted. That's fair game if it's on your 40. Just letting you know.

I don't know what else you want me to do, I apologized multiple times on XBL. If you want me to spot you 7 points then I can do that.
 
I assume we won't draft Sunday, though I should probably start asking what everyone prefers... But I would like to have this round and the Super Bowl wrapped up by Sunday at 7pm est at the latest.

What works for the most people? Please don't state what you prefer, just let me know what you can make.

Sunday, 7pm est (we can delay this 10-15 mins if a 4pm game is wrapping up)
Sunday, 11pm est or right after SNF ends
Monday, 7pm est
Monday, 11pm est or right after MNF

I can currently make all these options.

Any of these are fine, though I vote for Monday to avoid any possible conflicts with the other league.
