[quote name='KasterDB']Thanks bSeti, I appreciate you filling in for me. I hope you have better luck with Denver than I do :D[/QUOTE]


I'll give it my all we usually have battles, don't think I've ever played him online tho. I'm ridin tebow to the promise land...using denvers playbook lil tebow to hernandez. National championship type shit.
 
[quote name='bvharris']Don't force yourself. It's not the last game we're waiting on anyway.

Need info on Saints-Bucs and Steelers-Raiders, can anyone play detective?

I'm off tomorrow for Presidents Day, so if we don't finish tonight I can advance us whenever we do finish tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

I have still heard nothing from ballhawk

I do work from 1-11pm cst tom. so if my game is the only one left just sim it I was going to lose it anyways I think.
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']I have still heard nothing from ballhawk[/QUOTE]

Are you available tomorrow? If he shows up and can't play, or no shows, then we can find a sub for you. I can shoot Cru a text now and see if he can track him down though.

I work from 1-11pm cst so it would have to be in the morning
 
[quote name='GpNinja']So are we advancing today?[/QUOTE]

We're definitely advancing today, the only question is when. There are still 4 games left.
 
[quote name='MasterAwesome']I already beat the Redskins earlier tonight! I have a sim loss against the Steelers :( Hopefully we can actually play the next one ourselves...[/QUOTE]

I knew it! :cry:

Oh well, sims aside, I still had my chances to beat both of those teams. But a little help would have been nice. Now all I have to do is Lin out.
 
As for an update on these games.

Chargers/Browns look to be set for today.
Falcons/Broncos the same, this one with a sub.

Saints are MIA, so that's going to be either a sim or if Tanabeo would prefer a sub game soon. And then I'm not sure what's up with Steelers/Raiders. Doom, have you heard from the Raiders? Do you know what's up?
 
Tanabeo should get a sub if he's going to no show. How many times is that now? Are we keeping track of sims?

Prez said they talked the first day we advanced though I'm not sure what happened. I'll ask.
 
I'm off today with not much to do. I'd be willing to sub for ballhawk if Tanabeo is around to play. I would need to hand off the commish reins first.
 
[quote name='ubernes']You can hand it off to me, I'm off today as well.[/QUOTE]

Alright, I PMed Tanabeo.

Edit: And your commish. Ballhawk has an invite back.

So why isn't kaster allowed to pick up a rb? Moreno is out he only has 2 besides him.

it just seems a lil unfair/unrealistic to make someone go into a game with 2 runnign backs, one gets hurt, the other gets tired. it sucks. i donno its not my team im just sayin....if he had another fullback i prolly wouldnt care. but the two running backs he does have are shitty guys to have in this situation since neither of them have stamina. ones a 73 the other an 83 stamina. i donno if it were my titans id prolly argue a lot harder btu its not so....up to you commish...

falcons broncos goin down soon

I think with injury replacements, it would be okay to pick a guy up IF you're actually intending to use him as your back-up and not plug him in as a starter while your actual starter is out. A lot of times people have a starter get injured and then find a little hidden gem (with low OVR) in FA to replace him in the starting line-up instead of using their actual back-ups. That's the whole point of having everyone pick up a FA with a lower OVR than your lowest player at that position...although we all know EA's rating system is flawed so getting a lower OVR FA might not always equate to getting a weaker player.

So with Kaster...I don't see anything wrong with him picking up a FA HB if he plugs him in at #3 to use in the rare case that numbers 1 and 2 are fatigued and/or injured in the course of one game. I just don't like people picking up a FA player for "injury replacement" and seeing them post 150 yards and 2 TDs or 3 sacks and a FF or something along those lines. Not sure if we've seen THAT good of production yet from an injury replacement...but I'm sure I've seen some close to it.
 
Tababeo and I got disconnected when I was driving with a chance to win late. He was up 5. I don't think he has time to play again, so I went ahead and counted the game.

gg tanabeo!
 
Bv did you lag out? im at the count don't count screen but I think it was to close for me to count you could have won it on that last drive there but the choice is yours I will not be able to fit another game in before work

edit: nvm just saw the post above

thanks for subbing bv GG

I have no idea what happened.. We hadn't had lag all game, and my internet isn't out or anything, but I can't re-connect to live. It gave me the count or don't count screen as well.

Go ahead and count it. I may indeed have pulled it out, but you played well enough to win and it's not really fair for you to get a sim.

Yeah, it was a fun one. How obvious was it that I'd never used the Saints' offensive playbook before? :D

Very :) You were figuring out my D in the 2nd half and you were picking on my 1-5-5

I know one thing tho your LB scares me

You knocked cooper out for the season =(
 
Broncos over the falcons 24-14. Very tebow like passing stats. No interceptions tho, even tho atlanta dropped several easy ones. It was 17-7at half after a 3 prater fg's and a tebow rushing td with a 2pt conversion. Love the tebow formation in denvers playbook, couldn't break one with tebow tho his defense is quick. The offense stalled in the second half, only getting a couple first downs. But Darren sharper had 3 int's, that's why I tried to trade for him last year. Chung sealed it with a pick 6. GG reds.

As far as I know he's never asked if he could. How about next time instead of looking to create controversy where none exists, just try something like "hey, can Kaster pick up an injury replacement HB?" To which I would have answered: "Sure, as long as he only plans to use him in emergencies."

I think by now people should realize that this league can be much more productive when not everything is framed as a complaint.

MA, as usual, nails it pretty much exactly. The idea of an injury replacement is solely for depth (mostly in case of future in-game injuries to the other guy at that position), which is why we have the OVR requirement in place. But we've seen a bunch of cases where someone finds some hidden gem with a low OVR and then is using them as a starter, which is not what the injury replacement rule is for. Ostensibly, these guys should not be seeing the field at all. It's tricky to police that, which is why we're so stringent on allowing people to do it.

[/QUOTE]

It was more figuring out my own offense than your D. The plays I run with the Patriots, I know where everybody is going to be by heart and can get rid of the ball quickly. With an unfamiliar playbook it's just much harder to know what everyone's going to do, which leads to holding the ball longer and in turn leads to sacks, which I believe you got 4 or 5 of.

I do still strongly believe in using the offensive playbook of the team when I sub. Helps to even the playing field a bit. :D
 
[quote name='KasterDB']Moreno got hurt last week, but I assume that since I have two halfbacks still that I don't need an injury replacement?[/QUOTE]

and u said correct....i wasnt complaining mr. goodell, i was simply asking and stating my opinion that he should be allowed to sign one. just to have as an emergency. as i stated it wasnt a big deal, i just thought it was neccessary. sorry sir.
 
I didn't remember that he'd brought it up, obviously it wasn't important enough to him to make a big deal out of it. We've always viewed the minimum roster contingent for HBs as 2, but if people think it should be 3 because they tend to take more punishment over the course of a game, it's worth discussing.

And please save the "sorry sir" garbage, you'd be amazed how unimpressed I am with the sarcasm. It adds nothing to the conversation.
 
[quote name='DVO21']what time are we looking to advance today[/QUOTE]

Really tough to say without knowing the status of these two games. I'll leave that up to ubernes. We'll definitely be advancing today/tonight though.

BV is right, it wasn't a big deal to me. I traded away Mcgahee in the JV League and had two halfbacks for the remainder of the season, so having two doesn't bother me. Then, if the backup got hurt, I'd get a replacement. Having three is nice, but it isn't a necessity. Thanks for trying to help, BSETI, but I'm okay. Hopefully that'll be the end of my needed subs for the time being.
 
Hold on wtf I could of played I shouldn't have needed a sub if tanebeo replied to my pm!!! If u guys just played this gm today I think is complete bullshit really!!

He said as of 11:35 last night that he hadn't heard from you. Is that not true?

He wasn't going to be available again until Midnight, and you hadn't posted in the thread in days. We weren't really left with much choice.
 
I replied to him this morning cuz I was working all night!!! But did u guys play this morning??? If so thts not right but if y'all played last night, its really not a big deal man!!
 
They played like 2 hours ago.

And Cru texted you last night and didn't hear. This was the latest he could play and he didn't hear from you in a while, this is standard.
 
We played at around 12:45 PM EST. He didn't give any indication that he'd heard from you, nor had you checked in with the thread in the last few days.
 
At the end of the day, ubernes and I aren't psychic. We can only make decisions based on the information we have. No one wants to get their game subbed or simmed, and we don't like doing it either. The surest way to prevent that from happening is to be active in the thread and very pro-active about scheduling your games.

When I got home today I saw the thread had booted you and you had a inv back and BV had sent me a pm saying he could sub if i was fine with it so I said ok, I was just going to take a sim but decided to take my chances againts him.

sorry if you felt like you got screwed but I never heard anything back from you

I assume Ballhawk's PM arrived after mine?

yep I only had yours then put in madden accepted your friend request and sent you the inv to join
 
This isn't targeted at any one person, but I have had a difficult time scheduling with a few people and it does get a bit old when they aren't very active or responsive. I get people are busy..but I am too. I have a 40 hour a week position, on top of being an instructor for an online course, trying to complete a doctrine and having a 7 month pregnant wife and 13 year old son. It helps I really don't sleep a ton, so I still have time to schedule in some fun things. It is certainly not just me though. Other people on here are hella busy too. I just assume we all are. So when someone is just like 'I have been busy!'..well, we all are man and its insulting to those that still put some sort of effort in. Drop a line and let people know you are busy at the very least. It takes two seconds. And don't be surprised if the league goes with the person who is actively trying to get the game in.

Yet, I try to PM people before or shortly after the start of a game week and work with them to get a time established quickly. I also bring this up though that my times have changed as of late. I had been working primarily at home as a manager since my staff was located out of state anyhow, but that has changed and my times are less flexible. I PMed my opponent for next week with preferred times though and am sure we can work something out.
 
Looks like Browns-Chargers was played, yay! We'll be advancing as soon as the Steelers-Chargers game wraps.

Edit: That game is tied up in the 4th. We'll be advancing in a few minutes.
