Madden 12 Official CAG League - On official hiatus until Madden 13.

I'm not sure if n8rocker82 will be back for our game this week or not. I know someone else is handling commish duties in the other league because he's gone.

Also, seems Brady is having a bad year even when the game is simmed. Think I'm starting my rookie QB this week.

Yes, you can find a sub for them.
 
Broncos survive a dogfight with Dallas, 42-38. 6-4 now, I really like my team. I'm really only missing DJ Williams for depth, I had to run a safety at linebacker a couple times (and naturally he forced a fumble, lol) and Quinton Carter, who replaced Chung made a great play to get the game sealing INT.
 
Stafford 21 for 25 for 300+ yards and 5 TDs lol...2 of the incompletions were picks by Jimmy Smith and the other 2 were pass deflections. I hurt Jones-Drew at the end of the first half (along with 3 other players over the course of the game) and I just realized Sprice's back-up HB (with 10 carries for the game) had a freaking 57 carry rating...I wish I went for some strips!

this kid has by far the best user run defense ive ever played against... i dont know if its timing or what but it was insane... great game again ma
 
Lol thanks...I dunno what it is, I don't feel like I'm doing anything special. I've just recently started usering different players on D each snap as opposed to just exclusively using the MLB....it's always pretty easy to get in the backfield no matter who I use. I do have a pretty darn good D-line (Ngata, Suggs, Peppers, and a pretty solid 95 BSH rookie) so that makes it easy to get through the o-line with a linebacker or a safety. And Jimmy Smith makes a lot of plays against the run himself to the outside. I know you pitched it right a good amount and that's Jimmy's domain lol. Jimmy was solid except he still doesn't respond well to the curl routes...which is understandable cause I think that's where awareness comes to play.

Yeah, it was definitely a bummer of a series. But I picked the Sox to finish 3rd in the division, and said that the bullpen would be their downfall, so I can't say that I was exactly surprised by the result. It's a long season though.
 
Remaining Games:

Falcons-Panthers
Colts-Chiefs
Bucs-Saints
Titans-Raiders
Jags-Cardinals
Chargers-Eagles
Patriots-Bills (11PM tonight)
Rams-49ers
Vikings-Redskins
Jets-Browns (need a sub for the Jets)

Still a lot of games left to play.

Obviously not true for all athletes, but when they win titles or land a payday, they have a tendency to take days off. Haha.

Chiefs-Colts set for 930 PM EST. Very excited to see the debut of Davasia Walls.

Good luck with Walls. He is a solid #2, was my number 1. Luckily for me (I guess) my secondary wasn't any less porous.

Sounds about right...if it makes you feel any better Delmas hasn't done shit.

Yeah thanks. Good to see Baldwin found the endzone!
 
I really like my WR corp with AJ, Knox and Benn, with the 2 youngsters as 4 and 5, Daniels working the underneath and Arian out of the backfield.

I was looking at my roster today and all of my A potential players that are under age 26 are on defense. I need to infuse my offense with some young core guys, especially up front (you know...assuming this franchise were going to last for 10 more seasons...)

I was thinking about it yesterday. Probably around 6 or 7, no? I imagine we'll be able to power through the weeks quicker during the summer, if the interest remains.

Though I may take the last season off some I'm energized for Madden 13. Depends on where we're at during the summer.
 
Its a helluva lot of fun to draft guys and watch em develop. It'd be great if we made it through 3 more seasons at least.

I'm on record as saying I'll keep running it as long as enough of you want to keep playing. We'll play at least one more after this one for sure.

So if I don't buy 13 will you keep the 12 chise going for me? ;)
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Yeah thanks. Good to see Baldwin found the endzone![/QUOTE]

Yeah he is going to be a nice replacement for Burress. Just wish I could get the passing game under control. Though at this point I don't care enough to practice.
 
Just wanted to note that the Packers and Steelers have been in contact via PM to schedule our game, but it's looking more likely that it will be played tomorrow rather than tonight.
 
[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']n8rocker said he'll be back home Wednesday and can play between 5pm est and 9pm est which is past the deadline so what should I do?[/QUOTE]

Play a sub.
 
raiders titans goin down tomorrow afternoon at some point after 4pm...also falcons panthers will be goin down either right before or right after titans raiders....yanksrule is gonna play from my house

that'll work... if i can get past the Packers and Texans, and with Mog's help, i might be able to grab the #1 seed...
 
Nearly had a Tiger Woods reaction during the final parts of this game. And it was totally called for.

With the score 7-0 Chiefs late in the 2nd quarter, Cassel goes for the jugular when Miles Austin just breezes by the Indy secondary. However, Deaires Justice covers at least 20 yards, and intercepts an underthrown Cassel pass. Ridiculous and amazing at the same time. Ok, that one's on me, I should know better by now.

The game would completely turn though in the final 28 seconds of the half. Indy drove all the way down the field and on 3rd and goal from the 6, Manning chucks a ball to Collie on the left side where it hits the hands of Davasia Walls who in turn initiates a game of "hot potato" amongst his teammates. Hope you had fun assholes. After touching the hands of Walls, Hali and Lewis, it lands right into the hands of Dallas Clark. 7-7.

Ok no problem, still got time to drive down the field.

Javier Arenas takes the kickoff and HE...COULD...GO..and fucking fumble, which is returned for 6. Nice work Javier.

Thankfully, I'm able to lead a drive with 20 seconds and kick a field goal. 14-10 Colts at the half.

3rd quarter is dominated on the ground by the Colts, but they come away with no points.

Onto the 4th. On a 2nd down from the Chiefs 21, Manning audibles out of a run and throws a pass intended for Collie but it lands right in the hands of Davasia Walls who for the 2nd time on the day DROP..no wait he caught it and he's running?

Man, he can fly, thanks again staticz. Takes it all the way back for 6. 17-14 Chiefs.

Colts tie it to make it 17-17 on a nice drive by OG.

Ok, 59 seconds left with everyone's favorite Jake Gyllenhaal lookalike under center. History shows, this is where he is at his worst.

Surprisingly, he leads them straight down the field to around the Colts 35. 13 seconds left, no timeouts for the Chiefs. Hoping to center the ball and spike it, the Chiefs pick up a couple yards and I immediately start hitting B to spike the ball.

Spike the ball you ass, *clock ticks* SPIKE IT *ticking....* time expires. Overtime. :fridge::fridge::fridge:

Moral of the story here, don't try to spike with the game on the line.

Another miracle goes the Chiefs way when KC wins the toss.Charles leads them down the field where McClain punches in the winning score.


OG played a great game and it shows in the box score. 15 minutes for the Colts. 5 for the Chiefs. I barely had the ball here. The defense was just getting chewed for small chunks.


The Chiefs survive in OT and move to 9-1 on the year.

GG Widow, you played well.

Never heard of a field goal, champ? ;)
 
New England Patriots 21 - Buffalo Bills 0

The Patriots brought the best scoring defense in the league to Buffalo and managed to improve on it, with the Patriots pitching a shutout and surviving a second consecutive mediocre effort from Colt McCoy behind more strong running from Cobie Ross.

After forcing a punt on the opening drive for the Bills, the Pats drove down the field but had to settle for 3. After playing more sound defense and trading a couple turnovers, the Patriots were able to score on a Ross TD with 8 seconds left in the half to go up 10-0. The Pats got another FG in the 3rd, and then after Carswell recovered a fumble deep in Bills territory, McCoy found Gronk for a TD (and White for the 2-point) to give the Pats the 21-0 lead. The Bills went with a chew-the-clock approach in the final quarter and held the ball for the rest of the game, but failed to score as time expired despite taking one last shot.

Colt McCoy laid his second egg in a row (continuing to flush away what once looked like it could be an MVP campaign), going 6 of 11 for 57 yards, 1 TD and 1 pick. He has absolutely fallen off a cliff since Julius Thomas went down, pretty hard not to make the connection.

Fitzpatrick was 9 of 12 for 100 yards, but threw 2 picks and also took a bunch of sacks and fumbled.

Cobie Ross carried 18 times for 123 yards and a TD, a solid but unspectacular outing by his standards this season.

Spiller carried 22 times for 66 yards, as the Bills went much more ground-heavy than I expected.

Gronk caught 4 balls for 37 yards and a TD to lead the Patriots.

Dave McCuien caught 5 for 67 for the Bills.

The Pats got sacks from 4 different players (Johnson, Samuel, Wake, and Wilfork - who forced a fumble) and picks from Mayo and Wilson. Terrance Carswell only had 1 solo tackle and snapped his streak of having either a sack, int, or ff in every game (he did recover the Wilfork strip sack, though that won't show up on XFN).

The Bills got a pick from Aaron Williams.

gg ravenschamp!

Pats continue their best-ever start, moving to 10-0 on the season. Still, it's hard not to be a bit concerned over the way my passing attack has gone south the last two weeks. Thankfully my D has been lights out at the same time. Need to get the offense sorted out or it's gonna be one-and-done in the playoffs for this Pats team.
