I have the Saints pick as well as my own, so we'll see where both end up. There are a few good safeties in this draft class though.
 
Jaguars 28, Chargers 23

Jags come away with a lucky win as their defense forces two fumbles in the backfield that are returned for touchdowns, the second of which was a 62-yarder by Paul Posluzsny that gave Jacksonville a 21-17 lead in the fourth quarter. MJD ran for only 47 yards and 1 TD, but got the scoring started with an 89-yard catch and run TD in the first. Phillip Rivers shredded the Jags secondary for 381 yards and 3 TD. A great game that came down to the final seconds.

It was a battle in the first half, but turnovers cost Green Bay once again as the Giants broke a 14-all tie with 1 minute left in the first half, forced a fumble which was returned for a touchdown at the beginning of the second half, and then scored on an 80-yard play soon after. New York took control and continued to roll right along with the running game to drain the clock.

New York Giants 38, Green Bay Packers 21

Good game, BigAT. When I get down, I take bigger risks and this time they didn't pay off.

GG Matt, I accidentally deleted your voice message after the game.
 
Oh, it just said something like, "Good game. Those turnovers really cost me in the second half, but I couldn't stop your rushing attack anyway."
 
I messaged AntiVenom about our game yesterday when he was online on xbox live and he didnt respond. I just looked again and still no response, but he went offline 36 minutes ago. If I play tomorrow it will be really late because I work until 9pm tomorrow night.
 
[quote name='PacerPerspect']Not sure if people are trying to sub for Eagles, but I will be able to play tomorrow night with Seattle.[/QUOTE]

I think we're good to go. If your around and available we can play tonight as well. I'll be on around 10est or we can wait till tomorrow.
 
[quote name='Appleinthetree']What's the top5 and top 10 mean even though the potential isn't necessarily A pot?[/QUOTE]

Since the cat's out of the bag (bv!!!!!), that is the round the computer would pick them. It doesn't have any bearing on our draft.

Looks like we will have 1-2 decent rounds of picks lol. Speaking of the draft, this may have been asked before, when does trading open back up?
 
[quote name='Appleinthetree']What's the top5 and top 10 mean even though the potential isn't necessarily A pot?[/QUOTE]

They're slated to be picked within the top 5 or top 10. They really just need to get rid of potential and have it based on their on the field performance.

ehhh, I don't know about that. I've seen arguments for both sides, but how would you handle draft classes? What about guys who sit behind a star at the end of his career? I think the POT algorithm is a bit more complex that A, B, C.

I'm going hunting for an article I found on it awhile back, let me see if I can dig it up.

Other people use his account for Netflix. I'll get a hold of him and let him know to contact you.

Don't worry, people had access to this last year, I'm not revealing anything people didn't already know. Plus the draft in Online Franchise lets you see overall ratings anyway.

Trading will open back up between the Super Bowl and the draft.
 
It's really weird. I am in no way a Vikings fan, but since I play the Vikings in this franchise, I find myself watching some of their games this season. I have the Sunday ticket so I usually tune into their game to see how they're doing lol.

Is anyone else like this too?

Nope. But then again, I'm a Pats fan anyway. :D

Last year I didn't root for the Chargers though, since I didn't like them to begin with (though I certainly liked playing as them).

I remember getting excited when they first put Ponder in, because I decided to play him pretty early on in my season. :p
 
I've always been a Packers fan and 2 of the walls in my bedroom look like my sig with those flags, but I kind of did the opposite of what you did when I chose the Chargers for bv's league since they're my local team now.
 
ggn8rockerasu. I didn't expect my run game to be shut out like that.

To Sum up this game, Chris Johnson fumbled on the first play for the Titans and never recovered.

Yeah, I get the "anybody can win with any team" mantra, but for fucks sake, the Titans suck! The FIRST fucking play, Chris Johnson rushes for about 6 yards and then just throws the ball on the ground. What a cocksucker, lol. He then proceeded to drop 2-3 balls thrown his way after that, and Locker couldn't hit a deep man to save his life (Cook had gotten by his man a few times and was still overthrown).

The only time I was able to score was in the 4th quarter when there was nobody around Cook at all and somehow Locker was able to get it to him. My d-line/linebackers were pretty sharp though. Too bad my secondary couldn't cover for shit though, as you seemed to always find somebody open on 3rd and long. I'm not even taking responsibility for this loss. I played pretty decent. My team just sucked a giant dick.

gg to you though verycheapgame. You executed when I didn't.
 
Well Venom and I tried to get our game in but his disc won't load. He will be on the road tomorrow and I will be at work LATE tomorrow. He told me to play the CPU but I thought I'd check in here first. If anyone can sub now id be down to play but its really late for me and I have to be up at 6am as well.
 
Just wrapped up my game vs the Redskins. GG Man2008, not sure if you come into the thread. You certainly had a few chances there, but I was able to get some INTs and manage the game pretty well.

Next up: DOOMTIME.

Hopefully I fare better than with my fantasy team. A win here would take off a lot of pressure on me vs the Giants in 2 weeks. A loss and that game becomes a must-win.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Cowboys put up two safeties in one quarter? That's pretty impressive.[/QUOTE]


One was on a punt which rolled to the 1, Jackson scooped it up and got muffled into the end zone.

Are QB sneaks allowed on 4th and inches since those have always worked? I think not doing one cost me this game, or atleast OT.
 
If you're my Week 14 opponent (Steelers I think) lets try to set something up for tomorrow. I'm going to be out of town Friday through Sunday. Though if tomorrow doesn't work, early Friday or late Sunday could work if the Week goes all the way through Sunday.
 
Also, could I make a request that we use mics more? I get that most people aren't going to wanna run off at the mouth like I do, but it sucks to be in an online league and it feels like I'm playing the CPU each week. Especially having a shit team, it's really hard to want to play.

Agreed, any of my opponents are welcome to invite me to an xbox live party.

The game tends to be alot more fun when you can have friendly banter back and forth;)

Not me. There's only a few people in this league I have any interest in talking to. If you (not you specifically, lol...a general "you") try talking to me while you're kicking my ass, I'll most likely tell you to go fuck yourself. It's better that my mic stays off. :)
 
I usually only hop on the mic during a scrim, when both parties are giving constructive criticism. I have no interest in listening to someone talk shit for 60 minutes.
 
I would lose a lot of respect if I were to use my mic (assuming I currently have a shred of respect). I throw a lot of pre-pubescent temper tantrums during the game :( I'd be willing to try it out once and see if I can keep my emotions in check, but Madden is so darn frustrating for me that I'm sure to slip up at least once! I'm sure it would make the game a lot more fun though...maybe I'll start meditating so I'll be ready to mic it up next season.
 
speaking of venom...superstar...i saw that you'll probably need a sub for venom.... Before he left he asked me to cover him for any games that he's gonna miss while he's moving..... So, i'll send you a private message with my schedule.... same goes for league 2....

you honestly think any of the other 31 people in this league would talk shit for 60 minutes?....

It's a league that we've all joined to have fun. When you play basketball with friends, you jipe and joke and give each other a hard time, and give them compliments when they make good plays...do you not? You're there to have fun, and enjoy each other's comraderie/company.


An online football game with friends..should be no different. I've experienced great conversations DURING competitive games with a lot of people in this league. I've actually made a really good friend by joining this league.. (venom) and will be attending his wedding in New mexico early next year. If I never would have mic'd it up..he'd be just another "name" on my console that kicks my ass on a regular basis.

Now, granted..no one in this league is telling people that you MUST USE YOUR MIC..... but some of you should give it a chance.....if anything, it ONLY makes the game more fun....atleast in my experience.

No, in fact you're probably right... I doubt anyone would do anything more than friendly smack talk. I just prefer to concentrate on the game, though I may give it a shot.
 
I'm never going to use a mic during a game, I just find it incredibly distracting. Also I only own the default 360 headset, which is uncomfortable as all hell. It's not for me.
