Panthers just scored. 14-12... Extra point or go for the tie??

Edit: looks like they failed to convert unless there's been a long tv time out.
 
I'm working out a draft day trade, does that need to be discussed now or can it wait for the draft in case our communication has issues between now and then? Though I think we're good.

Falcons owner, please get in touch with me about what we're going to do about the first round pick I get from you.

Missed a Two point conversion to tie the game up.

Deuce just stopped Doom on 3rd and 2 to get the ball Back.

4:20 Left in the 4th

It wouldn't hurt to put it out there now.

As for everyone who owes someone a pick or vice versa please reach out now and discuss how you want to communicate during the draft or if you want to submit a top players list.
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... i had opportunities. WRs dropping passes, and a mind-boggling TD pass that left me wondering how the hell he beat my CB and then after he caught it, DBowe outran a 90+ speed safety... o well. GG Doom... any one of a few plays go differently, i'm probably typing up a victory speech... Hopefully, we can move fast enough thru season 2 for me to try again...

I took a couple of photos of my teams A and B members so I could do a quick glance to see how they've advanced. Some very interesting up and downs. Wayne Hunter dropped 7 points for me. The rookies jumped up the most. I think Kerley almost went up 10 points, Ellis went up almost that much as well. Cromartie went down, but Holmes went up. It seems almost random. But Sanchez improved nicely in the short, mid, deep throwing, so I can't complain.

As predicted Derrick Mason retired. So did Mark Burnell. Sorry to everyone who PMed me about trading Burnell... :D
 
Steve Smith is on the block (he's 33 tho), along with DeAngelo Williams, and my 1st.... i'm looking for a CB, or a higher 1st rd pick

What's his overall? I might be willing to send you the saints 1st for him.

wow hope my team progressed this well
 
[quote name='Doomtime']McCourty 92, Gronk 95, I think Hernandez 85[/QUOTE]

Not bad, though I wish Hernandez was a bit higher. I demand two 90+ tight ends!
 
Congrats stupid A-HOLE Doom...!

And I hate to be the party pooper here...but don't be so excited about your Player Progressions people! Like I mentioned before, the Player Management progressions presumably are NOT accurate (not 100% confirmed, but based on my own somewhat spotty research). If you wanna see your true progressions then check your depth chart!

Edit: I guess you can't set your depth chart until after the rookie draft...so it'll have to wait :/
 
Talib 88->94
L. Blount 81->87
J. Best 80->85
RE Clayborn 76->83
LE Bowers 76->81
Mallet 71->75 His short and mid throw are both 88 now

This is just some of the bigger gains I got beside winslow when for 89 to 88
 
I'm going off an article I found on the base Eagles ratings, but here is what happened with my team:

Vick: 93 to 94.
McCoy: 88 to 90.
Jackson: 91 to 93.
Cole: 93 to 94.
Asomugha: 98 to 93 (ouch).
Maclin: 86 to 92.
Kafka: 67 to 71.
Lewis: 67 to 72.
Spikes: 79 to 84.
Matthews: 71 to 77.
Chaney: 69 to 77.
Jarrett: 71 to 78.
DRC: 85 to 90.
 
[quote name='staticz']What's up with DVO21 taking over the Jags? He is not interested in the Bills.[/QUOTE]

He can have the Jags. The Zero can take the bills.
 
bv out of curiosity who do u like better hernandez or gronk? does it matter to u which one catches more balls or who u count on the most
 
[quote name='sprice8688']bv out of curiosity who do u like better hernandez or gronk? does it matter to u which one catches more balls or who u count on the most[/QUOTE]

I use them both a lot, they were the two leading receivers on my team last season. I find Gronk to be generally more reliable though.

needed to get off of football for a minute... mad at how my WRs let me down...
 
So my draft picks are
1st was sent to NE for Ryan Mallett then traded to MIN in AP deal
2nd
3rd to HOU for James Casey
4th
5th Bucs traded IRL for something
6th
7th

I feel like I can get at least one or two decent players
 
[quote name='Deuce20602'] PANTHERS from worst to first baby!!!!![/QUOTE]

this was back in august... we made it, 1st in the NFC :D
 
So...after going through EVERY single one of my players and looking at their individual attributes from Season 1 to Season 2...Player Management seems to get the progressions/regressions right for the most part aside from a few anomalies. Some progressions of mine seem grossly exaggerated...their attributes went up by a little, and yet they experienced a 8-12 point progression lol. I think that's where the issues are most prominent...Player Management just seems to inflate the OVRs a bit too much.

Just for one specific example of the buggy Player Management though...we shall take a look at Julius Peppers.

Season 1: 95 OVR; 85 SPD, 85 STR, 88 AGI, 96 ACC, 86 AWR, 76 TAK, 88 POW, 86 PMW, 96 FMV, 87 PUR
Season 2: 96 OVR; 81 SPD, 84 STR, 87 AGI, 95 ACC, 84 AWR, 75 TAK, 88 POW, 84 PMW, 92 FMV, 86 PUR

So he clearly regressed according to individual attributes, and yet Player Management claims he jumped 1 point in his OVR.

Just some notes about my team:
-My rookie C potential HB Anthony Allen jumped from 60 to 71 (and it actually looks like it might be accurate)...so that was a pleasant surprise. Lynch up from 81 to 86 OVR.
-Tandon Doss, my most reliable receiver from last season (26 catches, 0 drops) went from 65 to 74 OVR which makes me pretty happy!
-Lee Evans, despite turning 31, progressed 3 points to 84 OVR.
-Torrey Smith went from 69 --> 73 OVR...woulda liked a little more progression seeing as how he's A potential.
-Pettigrew jumped from 81 to 89 OVR which was a big surprise. He was one of those that seemed to benefit from an exaggerated Player Management OVR rating though...so I'm gonna reserve judgment on him.
-Ray Lewis stayed the exact same...I'll count that one as a win!
-Probably the most exciting news for me is Jimmy Smith...who went from 76 OVR to 87 OVR. He now boasts a 98 MCV, 90 ZCV, 95 PRS rating! Those are some damn good coverage stats...he's still at like 50 AWR though lol, so it might not translate into that amazing of coverage in-game.
-The most DISAPPOINTING news for me is freaking Earl Thomas who stayed the exact same across the board...despite being 23 years old and A potential. I guess I set myself up for disappointment when I place so much faith in A potential players...but I expected big things from Thomas!

Based off this first season (and solely off my own players)...I was really surprised by how Potential played a role in progressions (or lack thereof). My biggest progressions seemingly came from B and C potential players....while my young A potential players for the most part progressed minimally or not at all. Torrey Smith and Tandon Doss were both rookies, while Smith (A potential) progressed 4 points and Doss (B potential) progressed 9 points. My C potential rookie HB, as I mentioned, jumped 11 points. I had a D potential LT jump 11 points as well lol (from 56 OVR to 67 OVR). Then there was a 53 OVR C potential LE who jumped to 65 OVR...and a 64 OVR D potential LOLB who jumped to 71 OVR. Interesting...
 
Congrats Doom :applause:

Falcons Progression:
Roddy White: 96---97
Sam Baker: 87---90
Julio Jones: 78-84
Tom Santi (whom i just picked up): 70---75
Sean Weatherspoon: 75---83
Chris Owens: 70---77

Well that was completely disappointing. Like 50% of my team declined, even the players under 30 (Ray Edwards wtf).
 
Bucs Drop: WR Preston Parker
Add: CB Joselio Hanson (will not let me add right now says servers are down or something so im posting this so noone will steal him.)

Also Is anyone Intrested in giving me this years first round pick for my 2nd and 4th of this years and a 1st in next years draft
 
As discussed, we're going to do one more FA period before the draft. To save time, we're going to have all the non-playoff teams pick up guys during the playoffs. We'll then let the playoff teams pick in the order in which they're eliminated. For the non-playoff teams, we're going to go in two groups of 10. You can pick in any order within your group, once you post in the thread claiming a guy that's it. You MUST post in the thread. As a reminder, you must also drop someone (and tell us who it is).

Any questions?

Group 1:
1. Dolphins - Igor Olshansky (RE)
2. Browns - Flozell Adams (RT)
3. Eagles -Lawrence Wilson (LOLB)
4. Titans
5. Vikings - John Greco (RG)
6. Colts
7. Chargers
8. Cowboys - M. Legree (FS)
9. Bengals - Mario Henderson (RT)
10. Cardinals - Ed Johnson (DT)

Group 2:
11. Jaguars
12. Rams
13. Broncos - Mark Setterstrom (LG)
14. Buccaneers- Joselio Hanson (CB)
15. Raiders
16. Redskins
17. Falcons - Tom Santi (TE)
18. Bills
19. Packers
20. Lions - Everette Brown (RE)

Group 3:
21. Ravens
22. Jets - Zack Follett (ROLB)
23. Seahawks - Parrish Cox (CB)
24. 49ers
25. Texans - Matt Dodge (P)
26. Giants
27. Steelers
28. Bears
29. Saints
30. Patriots - Michael Johnson (SS)
31. Panthers - Jeremy Ware (CB)
32. Chiefs - Geoff Hangartner (C)

Anyone from the above groups may start picking guys up now.

Please post your FA selection in this format:
Team Name:
Player Added: Name (Position)
Player Dropped: Name (Position)

Team: Eagles
Add: Lawrence Wilson, LOLB, 71, 24
Drop: Trevard Lindley, CB, 65, 26

Edit: It's not letting me pick up Wilson because of server issues, but I have dropped Lindley. Can I have Wilson reserved and pick him up tomorrow?

yes, those picking up players should look at the list first before they choose.

So you're good!
 
Vikings pick up John Greco (RG) and drop Stephen Burton (wr)

Edit: It's not letting me pick him because the servers are messed up. I already dropped Stephen though
