Well, finally caught up with everyone's posts.

I can understand both sides here and in comparison to mog and I's game in the juvenile deliquent league, those were entirely different situations.

It never really has been discussed in this league that I can recall, so despite the time and timeout situation, I don't think he deserves a strike.

Now that the topic is here, we need to discuss ethics.
 
[quote name='gbpackers94']Here's my opinion:
1. Ban it in those circumstances, under 2 min in a definite onside kick situation.
2. No punishment for damailman.[/QUOTE]

As I said a little while ago, I'd be 100% fine with that outcome. Mog, sprice, and dvo all made the point that it would be unfair to punish someone for a rule that didn't exist when it was broken. I concede that point, you guys are right.
 
I'm fine with banning the play.

While we're complaining, I'd like to know what is being done about people who lack the ability to communicate by anyone's rules but their own.

It's not quite Festivus yet, but I guess we can get all the grievances on the table. :D

Is that a problem we're still having in this league? I know that's part of what sunk the fantasy league (e-terrorism aside), but my impression was that most of us in the main league are fairly easy to get in touch with.

Obviously there have been situations like with Venom, but I think we've mostly dealt with that when it's come up.

Or did you mean something else?

Alrighty.

I realized I never did my write-up, maybe it'll be therapeutic (and I can exit the post-game finally, lol)

Patriots 35 - Chargers 28

The Madden Patriots pulled a 2011 Patriots, building up a huge lead and then crapping all over themselves letting the opposition climb back into it. The Chargers mounted a comeback from down 35-7 at the end of the 3rd quarter, amazingly without the benefit of a single Patriots turnover. I definitely got way too conservative in my playcalling down the stretch, and probably could have stood to kill a little more clock, but really it came down to my secondary not executing.

Tom Brady bounced back from a couple poor showings to post a perfect QB rating, going 9 of 10 for 170 yards and 2 TDs.

Philip Rivers attempted more than four times as many passes as his counterpart, going 25 of 43 for 379 yards and a TD, much of that damage coming in the 2nd half.

Cobie Ross had another huge game, carrying 19 times for 168 yards and 3 scores. The only downside is he tailed off a bit late, leading to a few punts which let the Chargers climb back in.

The Chargers didn't have much success on the ground except in the Red Zone, where Mathews, Rivers, and Tolbert all scored to cap off late drives. Overall though, the Chargers had only 22 yards on 7 carries.

Gronk (3 catches, 73 yards) and Roddy White (3 catched, 58 yards) scored the TDs for the limited Pats' passing attack.

Both Vincent Brown and Antonio Gates were over 100 yards for the Chargers, with Malcom Floyd scoring the TD.

Not much to say about defense in this one, not much was played by either side.

gg dmailman. Despite how it ended (and the lengthy fallout thereof) it was a good game up to that point. You really had me on the ropes in the 4th quarter, I couldn't answer anything you were doing offensively. Thankfully I'd built up a big enough lead to hold you off.

I don't really know what's going on with my defense. After getting carved up on the ground last year and being lights out against the pass, the trend has completely reversed itself this year. I don't think I'm doing anything differently, nor is there much difference in personnel. So I guess it's either people are playing me differently, or just random chance. Definitely something I need to work on though.
 
Week 9: Cowboys @ Dolphins
Cowboys: 41
Dolphins: 14

Cowboys Defense: 2 Interceptions, 2 Sacks
Cowboys Offense: 273 Yards Passing, 2 TD / 142 Rushing Yards, 2 TD

Miami's Defense: 2 Interceptions,1 Forced fumble
Miami's Offense: 234 Yards Passing, 1 TD / 87 Rushing Yards,1 TD

Special Teams:
Miami: Two Missed Field Goals
Dallas: Two Made Field Goals

Two Long Touchdown Runs by the Cowboys in the last 2:25 of the 4th quarter made the stats a bit skewed...but it is what it is.

Miami Kneeled it 3 times with 1:20 Left in the Game to Close it out.

GG Cobra.


P.S. Jason fucking Witten. Dear Lord. 12 receptions for 175 yards. Bloody Hell.

Redskins- 35
Bills - 21

Bills just played horrible all around. I think the Bills had a total of 10 dropped passes and one crucial fumble in the 4th quarter by Spiller for the second week in a row.
 
Remaining Games:

Titans-Colts (today)
Cardinals-Bucs
Rams-Browns
Bears-Vikings
Eagles-Giants (I believe we need an Eagles sub)
Seahawks-49ers (I think staticz has had trouble getting hold of Cru)
Packers-Falcons

Updates on any of these would be most appreciated.
 
If anyone's interested in a bruising running back, I'm looking to move BenJarvus Green-Ellis (83 OVR, 27, B Pot). I really haven't been using him much since Ross is perfectly fine on his own as a short-yardage back. Green-Ellis' 99 carry rating makes him a very safe bet for icing games though. I'd be interested in cornerbacks, a decent backup QB (with good accuracy), or picks.
 
So Patriots now have the AFC East right now at 4-4? I'm 3-5, I believe Dolphins are the same, correct?

And all we need updates on right now are...
Cardinals-Bucs
Rams-Browns
Bears-Vikings

And yes, we do need Apple/C0bra to sub in for the Eagles again.

Big game this coming week then! I made a switch at safety just now. Eric Smith is coming off the bench, which is probably where he is best both in Madden and IRL. Had to tweak some of my depth chart beyond that as well. Mangold was backing up every O line position, among other weird things going on. Kilgo is now my #2 behind Holmes. I need him on the field more than my shotgun 3 WR sets, but will probably use him in the slot with Avant on the field. We'll see if I could sweep the series and take the potential division lead. Should be a good one.
 
Thought we caught Cru online last night but it was his cousin. Im pretty booked tonight but could play late or pretty much anytime tomorrow.

I'm asking to line up a sub now, which sucks because this is a huge game, however I don't have much faith in Cru. I've asked several people to text him but they either don't receive a reply or he's busy.

Big game indeed. Thanks for the scouting report. :D

I guess I should return the favor: COBIE ROSS IN YO FACE. ;)

If I win this one I feel pretty good about my chances to win the division, since my schedule gets much much easier down the stretch.


Also.. We need a new Bills owner it seems. Any takers?

If there aren't any takers I can manage them for awhile.

BTW - Seahawks vs 49ers is scheduled for 3:30ish tomorrow afternoon

I had 4 EST set up with the Rams, but forgot about it, but looks like he wasn't on anyway so I'm trying to set something up now for later tonight or earlier in the day tomorrow.
 
Titans beat colts 21-10 to move to 7-1. Locker was solid besides one bad throw, but cj2k (81 yds) and beanie wells (74 yds) sealed the victory down the stretch. Early on I was on pace with cj2k to be at leadt in the top 5 in rushing but there's no point in not using beanie wells. He's run for 200 yds in 3 games.

Teran doolittle is still up for grabs if anyone needs a rb. Rookie 77B.

Sorry - I've been busy with christmas shopping with the wife. You can play the cpu. My interest in madden lately is dying :( Especially since swtor is here.

You too? I am enjoying much more than I thought I would.

5 games left for the week. XFN has been advanced.
 
5 completions, 8 interceptions. 8 fucking interceptions! Can't win with numbers like those, especially when I couldn't' stop Michael Turner from running roughshod over my team. That was easily my worst performance ever. I'm going to go play the Hulk Hogan Kinect game as punishment.

I haven't had a lot of time to play as I am only level 7 but i was in the beta and I definitely love the game. My collectors edition came in yesterday but the statue was missing a piece, and it was broken. Amazon only offered me $15 .. as there arent any replacements to send. :(

I need to get a new pc to play this game though. it's really laggy when I am questing.
 
I wish the xfn site kept track of which team has the most interceptions.

EDIT: Found it. Oakland Raiders are first with 30 interceptions. I'm 7th with 19 :D.

I'm not opening mine. Hoping the value surges like the original WoW Collector's Edition ;)
 
if we need someone to watch over subbing for the bills i would like to be that guy i think we can all agree that the jags owner could use the practice inside this league if everyone is ok with that idea

You know the two little side things that stick out on the light saber handle? Like.. the handle looks like a Y that is turned on it's side.. like this ---< well.. in that amazing description the lower part of the < is broken.. does that make sense? LOL Not to mention the light saber itself was missing too from mine.
 
[quote name='bvharris']I'm sure we'll be able to find an owner for the Bills, I'm not worried about it at this point.[/QUOTE]

I just sent an xbl message to azumangaman asking if he wants in. He played in here last year and I've see him playing madden a lot lately, so I figured I'd ask.
 
[quote name='Matt Young']Good idea, Gb. Man I wish my PC could run TOR.[/QUOTE]

What are your system specs? It has very low requirements.
