Bird, you around now?

Sorry, man. I just saw this. I was on xbl for a while, but my wife had the computer tied up so I couldn't check the thread. I'm going to go sleep now, but I should be around same time tomorrow.

Birdman,

That was one for the ages. Clements is such a beast. And with Harris on the other side, it was really tough for me to put together a consistent passing game.

Good game, and good luck the rest of the season.

It seemed like Clements was all over the field, and every deflected pass ended up in his hands. I think he was also my leading tackler. That whole game was nuts....I thought I had you put away in the 4th, but then you completed those 3-4 passes in a row for the touchdown and started your comeback. And my offense could not answer....you played really good D especially in the 2nd half. Frank Gore just had those two long runs that saved me!

Awesome awards, you're going to do this every week?

Man, that really was a crazy game. Bush actually had several receptions, including one that went for a touchdown as well, haha. Go Reggie!

By the way, DCX, I'm going to be busy all weekend, so tonight might be the only chance I have to play.

Yeah, I'll be putting up awards each week. Well, assuming everyone can get their games in. :( Also, when you guys talk about the game in the thread, it makes it easier to pick games of the week too! :) And Bush's stats are now complete. Sorry about that!

Green Bay, when do you want to roll?

gg, dude.

I swear I hit fair catch on that fumble that opened up the flood gates, but what's done is done. You played amazing, I had no right to be winning 7-3 anyways haha.

I'm gonna practice my passing before we meet again ;)

I'm not sure what the score was in the end... 47 - 7?

man thats the 2nd time we played where we start the 1st game and i go up, then the game lags out crashs

and on the restart you get some break, and take the lead

i know its an uphill battle when you fumble the opening kickoff and give up a TD

but you controlled the game clock (especially in the 2nd half :D), ran the football well (i couldnt figure out my porous as fuck run defense), and did a good job mixing up your offense (audible screen to andre johnson)

good game, and props for winning with the texans, i gotta give cred where its due

gg

Thanks for the props man. That sucked that we had to restart. I dunno what happened, it was pretty much lag free until that 2nd quarter and it went out. Yeah that was hella luck on that kickoff return and all I could do was :lol and saw wow.

I just KNEW he was going to fumble when I was up 21-10 though. I just had a feeling. I kept saying I'm due for a fumble anytime, but I didn't want to believe and sure enough he fumbles it right on the what..5 yrd line?? I was just trying to milk some clock and take a FG and that punk fumbles the ball.

Then after that I was pretty nervous, because when I play these high powered teams against my lowly Texans I need to almost play mistake free. It's a pain having to constantly use defensive playmaker to try and stop an offense that has 4 damn near 100 rated offensive players, but I did my best(held LT to 17 yards:D which I was pretty happy about).

Anyway I blabbered long enough great game man. Now I've got to prepare for the Titans. Bring Vince back home to Houston we got somethin' waitin' for him:D :D !!

Hey, really sorry. My appointment ran way longer than anticipated. I'm ready now if you're around.

I am free Friday night after 9PM. Just send me an IM. We can also play it this weekend. I just want to get it in so we don't hold up the league.

Is that 9/ 8central? If it's 8 central that would be perfect. Let me know.

Well I guess step #1 would be getting people to play their games. Like you said the vet league is already on week 5 and they have a full freakin' league.
 
Yeah, this league is moving slow as fuuuck. Too many newbucks *cough* SweetTea *cough*.

Vumpler, I'm your week 3 opponent. Let me know when you want to play.

We're all newbucks as we're obviously in the rookie league, but some people are certainly slowing down the league for others...

:lol Yeah, I realize that this is mostly rookies. I guess I meant slow, unreliable/undedicated people instead of newbucks.

I was a new guy last year, and now I've made it to the big leagues... not. Anyways, you just have to prove you're a reliable player.
