[quote name='staticz']Yeah that shit is crazy. He usually runs a slant out with a streaking WR. Kills Zone coverage unless you hot route a purple zone and cheat to whatever side.
[/QUOTE]

I run something similar, it's a very effective play for tight ends. I certainly don't run it to the tune of 300+ yards though. :D

Can't wait to see what you come up with for the XFN site.
 
Yeah, I'm still looking into a few things. Should have some free time tomorrow night to work on it a bit more. Changes are slight at this point, let me know what you guys think!
 
Week 12: Dolphins @ Chargers

Chargers: 26
Dolphins: 10

Chargers Offense: 249 Passing Yards, 3 TD / 77 Rushing Yards
Chargers Defense: 2 Interceptions, 5 Sacks, 1 Safety

Dolphins Offense: 195 Passing Yards, 1 TD / 22 Rushing Yards
Dolphins Defense: 1 Interception, 3 Sacks, 1 Forced Fumble

GG damailman. Kicked my ass. lol.
 
Whew that was a close one...I feel like my team outplayed his for 95% of the game, but there were a few key plays that made the game as close as it was. Marshawn Lynch and his 96 carry lost a fumble early in the game in my own territory. Then Flacco throws a terrible pass to Torrey Smith on a short slant route (one of the easiest completions you can hope for), which got picked off. I threw another pick in his end zone, which was just a good user pick from prez. Flacco overthrew another pass to my TE on 3rd and long which woulda definitely went for a touchdown.

And it was frustrating cause I contained the SHIZ out of McFadden on 13 carries, but 2 of his carries attributed to a combined 143 yards out of his 155 (an 85 yarder and a 58 yarder). My players were in a position to tackle him in the backfield on both, but it seemed like McFadden just had to quickly switch directions and the CPU would freeze up.

His pass rush got to me 8 times though (5 of the sacks from Lamarr Houston). Most of those were from me standing in the pocket for WAY too long...but I didn't wanna force a throw and risk an interception (still had 3 of those though...). I feel like my team should have had at LEAST 8 sacks, but Pryor and his damn 90+ speed would just end up getting flushed out of the pocket and throwing the ball right as he got hit. That happened too many times to count...some of the throws he got off ended up 5 yards BEHIND him on the ground, looked like fumbles to me! I think I had to have gotten at least 10 QB hits. Pryor even went down for a few snaps after a big hit from Peppers.

Ray Lewis had a pick but ZERO tackles...McFadden was too fast for me :( And no throws to the TE I think (which is where I get most my tackles in the passing game)...he only had 8 completions but they all seemed like intermediate/deep routes to the sides of the field, which isn't really my area of coverage.

Ravens win 27 - 24
 
In all honesty, I think the point of this league is slowly slipping away.

It's meant to be fun and competitive, but over the past few weeks it's become a whine-fest about what other teams do and don't do on the field. I can understand people getting upset over owners that don't check messages or make an attempt to get games played, but if people are going to criticize others for what happens when they play, then it's no longer fun.

I'd like to think I've been one of the model owners in this league, given that this is my third season and I feel as though I communicate well. I may sound like a hypocrite because I'm bitching here as well, but in the past 24 hours my skill set and play has been knocked twice. I think it's uncalled for. There are people in this league that have full-time jobs, wifes and families. Not everyone can play Madden for multiple hours a day and scheme like crazy for whatever matchups come their way.

I had to get that off my chest. That is all.

I apologize if my comments the other day came across like I was knocking you, that wasn't my intent. I did think I would have probably won our game, but I was just basing that on past matchups we've had. You've improved a lot this season over last, so it's entirely possible you would have beaten me had we been able to play. I was frustrated with Madden, I'm sorry if it came across as a personal knock on you - that's definitely not the way I meant it.

i wouldnt take it to heart but i think u should try to improve ur usergame if possible cause whats the worst that could happen u lose? it will help u in the long run also but if ur satisfied with ur gameplay the ignore what people have to say but i do understand u gettin upset over having ur gameplay talked about... dooms suggustion with mine of ur user game was ment more to help u cause there is no way witten should have that many catches... i thought u were close to a .500 record.

Not a problem, I understand that you had a better chance of winning our game head-to-head than I did.

Still, I hate the bravado that goes on in this thread sometimes as much as you do, so I shouldn't be a hypocrite about it. Even if I thought I would have beaten you, I should have kept that to myself.
 
So finally executed the trade with ninja....turns out alexanders only a 73...not a biggie just a lil annoying is all.
 
Look for the FA period to start around 1PM. As in past seasons, the teams with the worst records will have the first window (we'll have 4 windows total). So all you league leaders, you won't get a chance until tomorrow.

I'm doubtful my guy will make it to me, but a guy can dream!

Also, I'm working up a better place for photo storage (private web server) than my 10 year old photo bucket account...hopefully nothing disappears before then :D
 
Master good game yesterday. Your defense is nice. Fairly played game. You respect my boy dmac though lol. I stay away from him too much when I'm not having a good game. But he came through for me when I needed it. But the gameplan was to stay away from ray lewis. I threw that stupid pick to him. I didn't think he was going to be able to make that play. From then on it was operation avoid ray ray. Lol

Criticism comes with the competition. I don't know how many times I've been criticized during or after a game(though most of it is through xbox live messages). I don't take it personal though.

FTR I don't play this for multiple hours a day. My gameplan is way too simple.
 
Bucs 14, Falcons 31
Tanabeo did a good job at slowing down Michael Turner, but fortunately Matt Ryan stepped up, throwing for 198 yds, 1 td, and 1 int (came at end of half on a hail mary).
 
FA Pickup Rules

1. We will pick up Free Agents from the list in 4 groups of 8 (based on inverse standings). I will post a list of the draft order and then allow the first 8 teams a set amount of time to pick. It is first-come first-served based on that order, so team #1 doesn't have preference over team #2 and so on.

2. Any player currently on the FA wire may be picked up, regardless of positional need. The same restrictions which apply to injury replacements do not apply here.

3. When it is your group, you must post in this thread who you are picking up. Do not just add them in the game. Once you've posted here, you can then add them. If you pick someone up in game, but someone else claimed them here first, they get the player.

4. You must drop a player as well. It doesn't matter whether your roster is full or not. However, the player you drop does not have to play the same position as the player you added, so feel free to drop your lowest rated guy.

5. Even if you're not at your console, you can still pick. Claiming someone here saves him for you, even if someone else gets on their 360 first.

Please post your FA selection in this format:

Team Name:
Player Added: Name (Position)
Player Dropped: Name (Position)

Any questions? I will be posting the waiver order shortly.

Your OL is 100 times better than mine I couldn't get off of one blocker half the time and your DL was just tossing my line around and jumping over them.

[quote name='BSETI50']do i have to pay for xfn?[/QUOTE]


no its free to join

edit: I just put you as the titans owner.
 
I haven't realized how litttle I have thrown the ball in this league. 35% pass 65% run. I used to air it out like crazy. I donno if there's much shot of getting locker to qualify for passing leaders.
 
Not sure to be excited about the early pick or bothered that I'm in the bottom 10 teams for the first time that I know of! What a fall. Here's hoping my new piece can be part of the solution in turning things around. I'm sure there's some solid FAs in there.

I'm playing vs Pacer in about an hour. Just out doing a (hopefully) quick errand now.
 
i was impressed wen gb kicked my ass in the tournament... hes stepped his game up... i worked late last night ill play the bears tonight.. i also like the site statics nice work
 
[quote name='BSETI50']Can we put highlights on xfn??[/QUOTE]

Highlights break the EA ran franchise site. BV and Uber use that site for some their commissioner related duties.

If you had a capture card you could upload them to YouTube and i could put them on the site afterward.
 
Bv/uber- Derrick Johnson went down for 5 weeks and I only have one active MLB on my roster.

Am I allowed to pick up a low MLB in addition to a free agent tomorrow? I was planning on picking up a guard since I only have 2 total (my starters)

I thought we answered this yesterday: Yes. ;)
 
[quote name='bvharris']I thought we answered this yesterday: Yes. ;)[/QUOTE]

That was for Tamba Hali, my other starting linebacker (ROLB). Derrick Johnson got hurt in the game I played last night. :cry:

Injury bug just won't leave me alone.
 
What a game vs Pacer. Jets sneak out the W, 33-28.

A very differnt look for the Jets here as Greene had 22 carries, 203 yards and 2 TDs. Probably season highs all around. Washington's Jonathan Stewart ripped it up even more though with a 12.6 average but on only 8 attempts. So a lot of rushing yards this game.

Sanchez was pretty bad when called upon. Only 10 for 22, 1 TD, 1 INT. Speaking of INTs, Kyle Wilson may have won himself a starting gig even with Cro back. He has 3 picks all in tight man coverage, though he did whiff on a long TD catch from Armstrong.

Rookie DPOY Watch-
Khaynin Stewart had 1.5 sacks and a FF, which led to the Jets first score of the game and got them out of their 1st half scoring slump.

Stewart has 4 sacks, 4 INTs and 1 FF as the Jets nickel back for the majority of the season. He'll likely go back to dime coverage with Cromartie back.

Gg again Pacer.
 
[quote name='staticz']So are we looking for two owners? I may know a couple guys.[/QUOTE]

Yes, both the Bills and Redskins. We still have the waiting list as well to work from, but everyone on there asked when the game came out so who knows if they are still interested.
 
I might need a sub tomorrow if Superstar (Vikings) cannot play. HotItlnStln has the same record and a few teams have 2 losses. But hopefully Superstar will get back to me.
 
Steelers beat the Patriots because Zurezo can hammer the strip button line nobody's business I guess. Two ridiculous fumbles in situations where Gronk was practically on the turf, and that's all she wrote. It's pretty obnoxious to lose that way, but there you have it.

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with him doing that. It seems to work for him, so by all means. It just feels crappy to move the ball successfully all game, not throw a single pick, and then only lose because of strips.
