[quote name='siradam134']so the packers are losing to a team the dolphins beat 31-3.....

wtf?[/QUOTE]

Packers have literally nothing to play for. I guess you could argue for home field advantage, but they only need to win 1/3 games, so this game doesn't matter.
 
wow green bay really the KC really and with a new coach. im sure green bay fans are going to say its doesnt matter but u all know u wanted to win every game
 
[quote name='DVO21']wow green bay really the KC really and with a new coach. im sure green bay fans are going to say its doesnt matter but u all know u wanted to win every game[/QUOTE]

Obviously we wanted them to win every game, but losing one game doesn't matter at all.

This. The championship is all that matters. Now they can rest starters.

It might not matter to the team, but you know it matters to you. ;)

Cowboys will be lucky to win a game in the postseason, if they don't squander that opportunity away again.
 
well now its tebow time. im hoping denver wins so i can go tebow my patriot loving neighbors house lol
 
Well still no update from my opponent, might be around for a little while longer, but looks like it'll have to wait until I get back from the WWE PPV if I end up going.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']XFN updated. Didn't see 49ers game had been played. Big win for them.[/QUOTE]

Game sucked. I had to stop watching the biggest game of the Chiefs season (yes i know its sad) to play at his time then watch him run 4 plays until he had a big enough lead to play like a normal person. :roll:

It was awesome.

Also lost Ray Rice. #1 RB, #1 WR, #2 CB down for next weeks division game :(
 
I won't make the deadline for tonite because my internet is out and I'm waiting for it to get fixed so can a sub play or you can sim it
 
[quote name='augmog']I won't make the deadline for tonite because my internet is out and I'm waiting for it to get fixed so can a sub play or you can sim it[/QUOTE]

Sounds like we might need to push this thing back to tomorrow. I don't want to be simming 4 games.
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']BV could you text LV to see if is still playing tonight he said he would be on after the pats game[/QUOTE]

He says he can play in an hour.
 
[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']Well still no update from my opponent, might be around for a little while longer, but looks like it'll have to wait until I get back from the WWE PPV if I end up going.[/QUOTE]

Am gonna be home for the rest of the day so just hit me up on here or xbox.
 
Bucs win thier first of the year.

And also I have a question about hurry up is there a limit because LV "Mr Hurry Up" ran 15+ 3 a drive starting in the 2nd If he completed a pass or ran it and stayed inbounds it was hurry up.
 
[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']Okay I should be back around 11:30 or 12EST.[/QUOTE]

Alrighty i'll get on at 10:30 since am in the central time zone.
 
[quote name='BigAT']What's the deal with the Eagles? Ownerless right now.[/QUOTE]

He's out of town. I believe maybe uber was going to sub?

We've never said that there is, so I don't think so. There are other people in the league who do the same thing. I don't think it gives them as much of an advantage as they think it does, so I don't really have a huge issue with it.
 
So we have two games left today:

Eagles-Giants
Bears-Vikings

BigAT: Can you post your availability for today and we'll find you an appropriate sub?

Mog: Are your connection issues sorted out?

Superstar: Are you available today?
 
[quote name='BigAT']What's the deal with the Eagles? Ownerless right now.[/QUOTE]

Pacer's coming back from vacation today, a sub should work for him today. I'm not sure what time he will be back. He should be ready to go for additional games going forward. I can't sub for him this week, things are too hectic.
 
If hurry up is killing you try to be more conservative on play calling, also, if LV was down in the game during hurry up its a lot more understandable, it is frustrating, but if you had the lead you really can't complain about hurry up offense being used against you.
 
My internet is back on.....I've tried to contact the vikings owner but got no answer....if the vikings need a sub I'm ready now and can play anytime today
 
[quote name='Og whitewidow']i can sub if someone needs it as well, lemme know.[/QUOTE]

Go ahead and sub for the Eagles, since we know Pacer won't be back. Set it up with BigAT for today.

Mog, have you heard back from Superstar yet? As far as I know he's not MIA.

As much as I enjoy a new nickname.....

I may have already said this. If I am behind a few scores and am playing 5 min quarters, I'll usually hurry it up.

Not enough time in these games not too. IMO

If it keeps working and I keep scoring, I'll probably continue until I am in a closer range to tie or lead.

Sorry if it frustrates some of you.

Anyways, good game Tanabeo.

Brees is officially single again, "he don't no man" (Fitzgerald)

Passing for 300 plus yards with his group of cheap hooker wide recievers.

(316 yds, 3 TD, 2 INT)


E. Doucet 121 yds, 1 TD
A. Hawkins 128 yds, 1 TD

Almost pulled out a comeback from down 17-3 in the third, but Breesy couldn't stay classy and threw a sh*t pick to end the game.

Cardinals 24 - Bucaneers 27

Vince Young 12-16, 163 yds, 2 TDs.

Just looking at the 12 games played so far this week, there have been an average of 52.3 points scored per game. That would seem to argue that there's plenty of time.

Neither team had over 60 total rushing yards

If it really was the way Tanabeo described it, then that seems excessive.
 
I never heard anything official on hurry up other than it annoys some people.

My offense got 3 points in the first half with no hurry up, 21 in the second half with lots of it.

Anyone see a trend, If an NFL QB or coach saw hurry up clearly working against his opponent, would he really just give up on it?

Also I think two maybe three of those drives went, Pass completion, hurry up, Bomb TD pass. Or along similiar lines.


They were not 18 play drives, I'd be suprised if the longest of any of the TD hurry up drives was more than 8 or 9 plays

I've always said as long as it isn't every single play you're fine. Doing it on every play is cheese play, considering this is a sim league afterall. Real NFL teams run hurry up of course, but not even the Colts with Manning do it on every play.
 
I really don't have a problem with it, but that's just me. As long as you call a defensive audible the offense isn't at any inherent advantage when going to the hurry up. I usually just switch to a standard man or zone coverage, and more often than not the offense is going to be the one making a mistake.

If the response to that is that it forces your opponent to play a vanilla defensive scheme and doesn't allow them to tailor their defensive playcalls to the formation the offense is in: That's the entire point of the hurry up.

I guess maybe it doesn't bother me because I play a pretty vanilla scheme anyway.
 
[quote name='BigAT']Real quick, what's the password for the franchise?[/QUOTE]

We're not giving it out in the thread anymore after what happened last week (I'm also changing it periodically). I just PMed it to OG.

What happened? I guess I missed something.

Thanks for giving it to OG.

I don't know how Tanabeo remembers it, but I didn't do it every play.

I can't see anyone having a problem with.

"I got a 10 yard reception, o wow look at all those linebackers on the field, I should hurry up try and throw up a bomb"

As it happened I caught 3 deep passes doing that exact thing, 2 for TD's.

Hurrying up when you see a vulnerable defense is part of the whole reason it exists.

I think that chain of events occured on three consecutive offensive drives for me, which would make it seem like I ran it all game.

Not saying I didn't run it a lot, but when I did it was for a good reason

They don't do it all game of course, but the Patriots pretty routinely run entire drives in the hurry up with great success.
