..god, that is going to be terrible.

Why? I have a hard time seeing it being any more effective in Madden than it is for the Broncos in real life (I'm just going by the two times they faced the Patriots, who dominated that formation). Plus, if someone picked the Denver playbook you'd pretty much know to be ready for it.

I can assure you, if I have the Broncos again, I will rarely, if ever, use the option.

It really depends on the gameplay mechanics. I tend to think the mechanics for this game can favor run blocking when properly applied. With a likely juiced up Tebow, run blocking friendly gameplay and still probably anticipated overrated passing mechanics, I think he could be quite difficult to defend. Even once it becomes easy to defend, I wouldn't be looking forward to playing against them frequently online.

Also Mike Vick and Mccoy with the Denver playbook would be all sorts of fun.
 
Pats-Jets VI going down at 11AM EST tomorrow. Patriots lead the franchise series 3-2.

Definitely a big game for the Pats, who have the chance to go into their bye at 8-0 and put a pretty tight stranglehold on the division.

As big as it is for the Pats though, it's basically a must-win for the Jets, at least where the division is concerned. A 3.5 game deficit having already surrendered the tie-breaker would be tricky to overcome.

Should be a good one. I expect a close game, as is usually the case in this matchup.

Was I really the #3 offense in the league? And I'm 2-5? That's mildly depressing :)

#31 defense. #32 by points. So, that's probably it.. ;)

Stilll impressive though, for your first exposure to the league. Certainly better than I have fared on offense.
 
[quote name='sprice8688']did u guys approve mog and lvps trade he dont wanna play till he can get that cb[/QUOTE]

Yes. Give me about 15 minutes and I can put it through.

Edit: Nevermind actually. The Cardinals game has already been played. We'll need to wait until after this week to put it through. Go ahead and play.

Somebody gives up more yards than me? Sweet!

Yeah, I know, I am awful at defense. But ever since I lost to MA by 30 in week 1, all of my losses are by single digits. So at least I can handle myself, haha.

Me and Mog already spoke and he knows I played, so you guys should be good.

Sit Harris on the back back back of the Depth Chart Mog!
 
Lovin the new roster update. Welker a 95, wilfork 97, spikes is now a LOLB 81, even mccourty went up. Still no improvments for edelman on D, bullshit
 
Just an update...I PM'ed/e-mailed Zurezo really late last night (technically like 5 a.m. this morning), no response yet....I know he has been sorta MIA lately. I won't be able to play tonight from now on in case he comes asking for me!
 
In a game where the Dolphins Offense didn't see the endzone one time...they managed to squeak out a win over the Bills thanks to 3 field Goals. Only time the Dolphins did see the redzone....End of the 1st half with time expiring.... they ended their drive on the 1/2 yard line with 0 seconds left on the clock.

Great Defense Mr. Ravenchamps!

Week 8: Bills @ Dolphins

Dolphins: 16
Bills: 10

Bills Defense: 3 Sacks, 10 Tackle for Loss
Bills Offense: 59 Yards Passing / 95 Rushing Yards, 1 TD

Miami's Defense: 2 Sacks, 1 Interception,2 Forced Fumble, 1 Fumble Recovery, 1 Touchdown, 5 Tackle for Loss
Miami's Offense: 92 Yards Passing / 163 Yards Rushing

gg ravenchamps!

Look on the bright side, at least it's not a Still Drunk Bowl. ;)

Nope, sorry. :D
 
I will probably need a sub for my game, i think i herniated a disc in my lower back, i woke up...it hurts to stand sit, and lay down...idk what the fuck happened but if this pain doesn't go away i am 100% going to need a sub for my game.
 
Jets hand the Patriots their first loss of the season, 14-6. It wasn't even as close as the score indicates, as the Jets D was completely dominant in this one, holding Cobie Ross to his worst game as a professional by far (11 carries for 24 yards, barf).

Brady was forced to throw it 28 times, which is never a recipe for success for me. I finally got the passing game going on the final drive (probably should have gone to it earlier), but Brady's bid to tie the game was incomplete at the goal line.

My defense was okay, especially against the pass, but it wasn't enough to win on a day when my offense contributed absolutely nothing.

gg uber!
 
Gg indeed. I'd write something up but I think you covered it all. Good to see the Jets run D kept it up in the 2nd half. My special teams was also quietly very effective. I think I had a couple chances at safeties thanks to my punter.

You had some solid drives with Brady at the end of both halves. That final throw was a little too close haha.

edit: And speaking of special teams... last time I listen to Madden on that silly fake punt. It didn't end up biting me in the ass, but when the game was clearly a field position battle and my punting was doing alright for itself that was the time to punt it inside the 20.

If I had it to do over again, I'd probably have adjusted my strategy more. The problem was that the game was never more than a one score game, so I couldn't bring myself to abandon the run even though it clearly wasn't working. I'm so used to Cobie Ross eventually breaking a big gain, it was a great job by you in never letting him get anything going.

I think the problem I have in a game like this is my offense has become so run-heavy that when a game comes along where I've got to adjust and pass I don't have the confidence to do it. I definitely wasn't comfortable throwing that much (you'll notice I targeted Revis 0.00 times, lol), even though I had some success there it was mostly on shorter passes. In fact, I completed 17 passes, none longer than 14 yards.

As you said, I had two opportunities at the two minute drill and drove into scoring range both times (though obviously a FG at the end wouldn't have mattered). So it's nice to know I can do that if it comes down to it.

Not too much to be upset about for me here, I just got outplayed, those losses are much easier to digest than the ones where something fluky goes against you.

Time to spend the bye week regrouping and getting ready to face the Chiefs after the break!

Well since it looks like the Bengals aren't going to be around tonight I'll be on tomorrow to either play them or a sub. I'll be in and out, but should be around for a few hours before the Super Bowl to meet the deadline.

Drew Stanton.
 
Update on Ravens/Steelers: Zurezo PM'ed me yesterday (Saturday) afternoon and asked if I can play at 2 p.m. PST Sunday before the Superbowl...I PM'ed him back an hour later and asked if we can play at 1 p.m. PST instead cause I have to be at a Superbowl party at 5:30 EST!! Still awaiting response...will keep everyone posted!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Assuming those two games above are set we have....

Niners/Rams
Redskins/Saints
Chargers/Panthers
Browns/Bengals

Status?

I know Browns have had trouble reaching the Bengals.
 
Just sprained my thumb pretty badly playing pick-up football. I'm not going to lie, my second or third thought after "Owww" and "fucking owww" was "Shit, how will this affect my Madden game?" Thankfully I'm on a bye next week, we'll have to see how swollen it is going forward. On the brightside: I got hit in the hand right after releasing the ball on a deep bomb, but my guy did catch it for a TD. :D

For those wondering, sources are calling me Probable for the Super Bowl, but are questioning how sharp my cuts on the cheese plate will be. I may be held to a strictly chip-dink-and-dunk role.
 
No response from Zurezo yet...i dunno if he just assumed we would be good for 2 p.m. PST, but I PM'ed him approximately 26 hours ago asking to play at 1 p.m. PST!! And he hasn't been on Xbox Live since Friday. You think I could get a sub for this one???????????? I wouldn't complain if it were to be simmed though....since he said he could play today at 5 p.m. EST.
