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

[quote name='Doomtime']The Broncos winning streak is finally over. Good job sprice.

Wow, Jamaal Charles had himself a little day there, huh? 6 catches for 171 yards and 3 TDs. I wish I had wide receivers like that on my team. :lol: He also had 2 scores on the ground, I'd say that's a pretty safe bet for offensive player of the week, lol.
 
Jets start off slow, but put away the Cardinals, 45-17.

Sanchez threw 2 INTs in the first half. Maybe even the first quarter, but Arizona wasn't able to capitalize. David Harris got one of them back as the Cardinals were approaching the redzone. His 2nd INT of the day was in the endzone, so he saved New York some points today.

Vernon Gholston is giving Rex Ryan a reason to bring Ellis back slowly from his injury. He was in Romo's face all day and was able to scoop up a strip sack for a TD. The secondary was flying everywhere. Cromartie had a pick six, Wilson had 2 sacks, Pool had 1 and there were a ton of deflections. This is what I was looking for when I built up this team through the draft. Let's see if we can keep it rolling next week vs New England.

[quote name='MasterAwesome']I went from a combined 21-2 from both leagues (including the post-season) to 0-3 in the last 3 games (including the Superbowl). Losing is not fun!! I need to get out of this slump before I slip into the black void of hopelessness.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, you have no idea what slump even means. :p
I think this league has made me into a budding alcoholic.
 
[quote name='bvharris']There are some pretty sick receiving corps in the AFC West.[/QUOTE]

And people wonder why I'm not itching to deal any of my CBs... :roll:

This league is definitely pass-first, so I've tried to counteract that with my strong secondary. Hopefully it works out.

Damn, I didn't realize how much Wilson had progressed. 99, 88, 87 for top 3 guys is pretty sick, and an 80 dime corner ain't too shabby either.

I'm not in bad shape with 94, 84, 82, though I'm currently playing Stuckey out of position as my 4th corner.
 
The rookie is my dime corner because his man is 85 and Lowery's is in the 70s. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rook improves in other areas because he's my weak link now, but 98 speed makes up for some of that. Lowery is currently the 1st man behind both safeties and the 5th CB. The super sub.

I was doing the same thing with Jammer in season 2 when I was down to like my 8th string safeties. Then Jammer got injured. :D

I really wanted to get that dime corner in the draft, but the SS I got instead looks pretty good and allowed me to move Stuckey down to corner where hopefully he'll thrive. He's got a high zone coverage rating, making him the ideal guy to man the flats and also chase down some of those pesky HB screens.


Colts owner - I'm subbing for the Vikings and I can play pretty much any night this week (except Friday night, obviously).
 
[quote name='silentghost227']*Trade Alert*

Bengals send OLB Shawne Merriman (80 ovr - B potential) and FB Fui Vakapuna (76 ovr - C potential)
to the
Seattle Seahwawks for FB Owen Schmitt (81 ovr - B pot) and a 4th round draft pick[/QUOTE]

This has been put through. I need to add it to the OP with the others still..
 
Bucs/falcons scheduled for 9 est. Bucs db looking forward to redeeming themselves after a terrible week 1. Also this should hopefully be my last game from the hotel, so my games will be scheduled better and also lag free.
 
Anyone interested in matt cassell at all????????? Also thomas jones possibly could be traded and tamba hali a potential rolb.......
 
Raiders suffer a blowout loss to the Steelers in a downpour of rain. Don't know how many turnovers and injuries I have in this game

31-7.

McFadden fumbled on the drive that would have tied it and just took all the air out of my balloon.

Just a terrible game all around. Let's never speak of this again.:)

Woah. Chargers handle a team one week and they blow out the Raiders the next.

You know what this probably means for our matchup? Nothing... :bomb:

Two straight weeks with Wallace under 100 receiving yards and only 1 TD. He's going to start getting unhappy pretty soon, lol

Ask anyone, the pace of my offense isn't designed to put up 70 points on anyone (which is surprising since it's such a pass-heavy attack). I think it's because I make people earn it down the field on D (which they usually do).

What time are you around tonight? I can probably get it in.

k, I'll be around. Either post in here or I'll be on XBL. I might be playing my other game by then, but I can do them back to back.

Looking forward to seeing this new attack of yours. This is a big game for me since I can't miss the chance to go a game up on Doom and Mog. Also a quintessential trap game given my upcoming schedule, but this new Bengals offense has been hyped enough now I think my boys will get up for it.

Because I knew you were waiting for it and I just knew McFadden was getting ready to fumble. Sucks that it happened when it did. Definitely changed the game. Don't worry Bv, you'll see it when we play....... if I'm not down by 20.

No biggie, we can get one in tomorrow then.
 
We couldn't connect without terrible lag. I think this is just one of those times when my connection is shit. Hopefully it clears up later.

I'm gonna try a scrim with gb and see if that's any better.
 
Well I snapped my 3 game losing streak thankfully...although my passing game is still atrocious. I'm excited about my rookies so I think I'm trying to work them in too much into my passing game...I force balls to Sanjay way too much, my normally balanced passing game now has him with 16 catches in 2 games while my next highest receiver has 5 catches :/ I don't want to turn my offense into a one-target passing game, but I'm just too proud of my boy Sanjay to throw it to anyone else! Except for the fact that he already has a fumble in each of his two games...

Richard Marshall did a good job stepping into the role of my #1 CB with 2 picks that game, Beason had another, and Thomas Davis got a pick six (I think that was his first pick of all 3 seasons). Although I won that game, I'm still not liking the direction my team is going at ALL...I had high hopes for this season, but now I'm not so sure.
 
The saints have defeated the Redskins tonight, 49-28. The saints jumped out to a 35-0 lead in the first quarter and then the Redskins began to creep back. The Redskins were held to zero rushing yards in the loss. Overall a good game and I am happy to get my first win.
 
I couldn't get anything going that first game vs doom. I was able to get my passing game early tonight and that helped a lot.
 
Oh lol WOW I didn't realize your XBL name was Raging Munchie...I was referring to Washington's tight end Munchie Cosh. 17 catches for over 400 yards and 3 TDs. In his first game he had like 2 catches for 20 yards or something. Lol that is quite a crazy mix-up there.
 
I PM'd lageorge/deadprez earlier today (wednesday)...the Titans owner about getting our game in. I haven't gotten a response yet
 
Jesus motherfucking christ. I'm in the middle of about as perfect a defensive performance as you (or I anyway) can put up, and it disconnects with me up 20-9 in the 3rd. Tanabeo said it best: "My internet hates me."
 
Chargers 35 - Bengals 14

For the second straight week, the final score doesn't tell the story of how unfathomably dominant the Chargers were in this game. The Bengals scored on their first offensive play and their last offensive play in garbage time, and everything in between that was pure powder blue crush (patent pending).

I was definitely worried after the first game disconnected and the second opened with an opening play end around which Ochocinco took like 80 yards to the house. But the Chargers quickly collected themselves and did what they do, turning on the offensive burners and never really letting up all game.

Rivers was flawless again, going 14 of 18 for 252 yards and two TDs, both on long bombs to Santana Moss, who stole the receiving show with 4 catches for 174 yards and the aforementioned TDs. Gates and Jackson were mostly handled, catching only one ball each, while Austin added 6 for 48 yards. The offensive star of the day was Ryan Mathews though, who had easily his best day as a pro and showed the kind of season he can have behind this great O-Line, rushing 15 times for 128 yards and 3 scores (I know that's not spectacular by Madden standards, but for me it's a banner day.)

The score actually could have been wider if not for a comical series near the end of the first half. Inside the red zone the Chargers had the following sequence:

1st and 10 on Cin 27 - Mathews 15 yard run (holding)
1st and 18 on Cin 36 - Mathews 22 yard run (chop block)
1st and 18 on Cin 36 - Mathews drop
2nd and 18 on Cin 36 - Jackson drop (in the endzone)
3rd and 18 on Cin 36 - 5 yard completion to Austin
4rd and 13 on Cin 31 - Kaeding missed FG

That's 4 different scoring chances squandered in one series, pretty impressive. Thankfully it didn't matter.

gg tanabeo! That new look offense definitely has potential, but I think you need to present a bit more of a downfield threat to keep the defense honest. When you barely target the wide receivers I don't need to really worry about them and can focus on stopping the run and containing White. I might consider mixing in Palmer to keep defenses honest, and you should use that new toy Randy Moss, I don't think you targeted him once. ;)
 
i just like to run i was playing like i would in ncaa 08 it does help that the few i thur down field where over thrown. give me a few weeks and i should have it down
 
Update for Falcons/Bucs game. We couldn't connect so we are going to try again later in the week once redy leaves the hotel. Probably going to happen sometime late Friday, but could possibly happen as early as tomorrow.
 
[quote name='XXXplosive1']No biggie, we can get one in tomorrow then.[/QUOTE]

I'm around most of the day (though I might go into the office later). I probably won't be on XBL, but shoot me a PM on CAG and I'll see it.
 
Uber u got 5 good corners it looks like would u be willing to trade any of them if I get a good nickle corner I think my d would b set pretty well

You'll have to take a number and get in line. You're probably the 6th person to ask me about my corners. I won't be trading my CB depth just because I have the depth. I'm holding off until the trade deadline and we'll see where my team is at then as far as injuries go.

The only thing I'm in the market for right now is a stud OLB, but I'd have to be blown away by an offer to move any of my CBs for one. The rookie and Lowery will be the easiest to move.
 
Superstars inbox is full so I'll post this here:
I should be free this evening from 9/10pm onwards, but I plan on going to bed somewhat early since my birthday is the 31st. Hopefully we can get a game in!
