Jube, let me know if there's a better day for you to play. My schedule is pretty simple: Available after 10PT, sometimes available before 12:30PT (noon-30, so to speak). If I have some advance notice, I should be able to clear out a specific morning.

Prior to you beating him 42-0 his last 2 games were 37-0 loses. For those of you watching at home, that's 116 straight points against. You should feel really proud of yourself Shawn.
 
This all started because of Rors taking the time to minimize my win tonight. I didn't come in here bragging "Look how I blew out CP!!"

Chill out homes!!
 
Ugh I dont get it...

Anyways I think there is certainly some room to be scared shitless of my next game while feeling somewhat confident from the work I've put in over the past few days to get better. We'll see how it pans out....

Um, to Clarify rules, you might need to warn us that you're introducing them in the first place. I had to go relook to see someone added them after the start of the season, SOMETIME?

How about no one plays DLine at all? If we are so sure that the oline blocking is questionable (I would say so, Sickboy's game was the only one I actually did any successfull running with. It's usually 1.6 ypc :/ )

Damn. GG True. You played really well. It was probably the most conservative game I've played this year, maybe even ever. Crazy slow pace, not fun to watch but fun to play. I can't believe that OT winning TD. I guess something had to break. You shut down VY amazingly well after I had a few big runs. I foolishly kept doing the same thing and getting sacked. I'm lucky I didn't fumble.

The first half had some BS fumbles but luckily you got 2 overturned. Crazy game. Maybe the game of the week has already happened.

Watch out Luke, I'm at .500 now!

Oh, I am watching!

3 cheers for fumbles where you barely get touched, and LBs that have spider senses, yet my defenders drop every god damn INT that hit's their mitts. Fuck this game.

I thought Madden was perfectly realistic and that INTs are only caused by bad throws?

I was mad, the fumble was bullshit, the INTs, probably not so much, my defenders did have stone hands, but it was mainly me being mad that I lost, so would you kindly STFU.

BTW, your running game was excellent (and probably the reason you won, if you didn't get enough points already from me throwing right to your defender). I thought I was doing a good job on it and then my D (IMO strangely) started getting beaten on play-fakes, and then the lanes really started opening up for you.

But I have the exact same experience as you -- futility often, but in my previous game, against DCX, Rudi was running free for most of the game.

Oh, so since it happened to you now it actually matters! :lol

Maybe if you didn't throw into double coverage? Just sayin'.

Oh yeah, it is Favre huntin' week!

All signs point towards victory for me, but when the deck is stacked this heavily in my favor I get paranoid something strange will happen and the upset of the week is forthcoming!

What would make this doubly painful is losing to the Packers and Brett Favre. I cannot let this happen! I will not let this happen!

Interesting, but I think you weighted ints and DTDs too heavily. The list is dominated by DBs and LBs.

Well, if you had to chose between 5 tackles, or a Interception that stops their drives, what would you want? And a Defense TD, it's like the ultimate for a single player. You scored 6 points!

1/5 of the list is from the line.

5 tackles could stop 5 drives

lul Ken Lucas...

Btw, it doesn't really show anything because some players have 1 huge game and a bunch of mediocre ones, yet they make the top of the list.

And how much did PDs, FF, FR, Sacks, and TFL count? ...and then there's the stuff you can't really count like QB pressure and redzone defense.

1 Raider. :(

Hey, show me the stat for Drive Stopping Tackles, and I'll use it!

I put FR the same as INT, with FF just a bit less, since I've got a few more FF than FR, as I'm sure mose people have. Tackle for Loss was 3 or 4 points, sacks were a few more. My Excel File is back at the office.

If you change tackles around, not much changes except the order.

Besides, the more important not is, not everyone has played 5 games yet. Can't get a real look at it till everyone actually finishes games.

I don't think any of them were into double coverage, just really dumb passes to try and make with Ben, I've threw 7 INTs in two games, and I think I had like 3 before that. I'm obviously making dumb decisions as it can be seen in my stats and the way my past two games have been alot closer than my first 3.

I was mad at the time, of course I'm going to blame the game, who doesn't, but it was done and over with last night. Have fun going 0-16 though. :)

I've only thrown 1 INT in 3 games and it was an INCREDIBLY stupid throw in garbage time. The fumbles are retarded sometimes. I think they do it just so someone uses the stupid challenges.

I will say, in the game against the Lions, 3 of the INTs were really retarded...My QB decided to throw to the players opposite the side of the button I was pushing. It sucked nards. Has only happened once since the update and I got downgraded...I don't get it, but I ain't complainin'!

Wtf..FMT only gave up 22 rushing yards to the Ravens (himself, he's playing himself if you haven't figured it out by now). Come on now..I could get more than that scrambling with Boller

Christ I just looked at my stats and two things stand out to me:

Jeremy Shockey has almost three times as many receptions as the next closest receiver(s).

Eli Manning 3 TDs 7 Ints.

I dunno what to say about all those infernal ints, since I've been a pretty good passer even though I run a lot. Shockey's catches are a result of everyone blitzing so much.

Ah well. Giants playbook has a lot of plays designed for the TE, for obvious reasons.

Another game with some crappy 2.-something yard per carry run game. I am almost to the point of giving up and just unleashing the dragon every game. This run game sucks ass if you don't have a RB with some speed. I think I have had the league leader in rushing 2 times on GAF and was in the top 3 every season besides that but I can't do **** with Henry. Runs to the inside = blitzing linebacker FTL. Draws or counters, hell anything that takes any amount of time = defensive lineman busting right through FTL. Tosses or sweeps, I am either chased down by a lineman or my WR and FB ignore the linebackers, corners and lineman right in front of me to run upfield and block a safety. It's so bad that even when I have a good lead I still want to pass 60-70% of the time because I know running the ball is just asking for a good 5 yard loss and maybe fumble. I still haven't found a good playbook, anyone know a good running playbook?
 
west coast playbook and eagles playbook have some nice runs, including a wide variety of slow developing (potential big) plays as well as quick hitters up the middle. try them out!

Because he thinks he's the Co-Founder of the league or something.

And holy shit, the Patriots are the Bo Jackson of this game. Just trying a game as them, and in no time at all, I've got 500 yards passing and 5 TD passes....

Just lob it deep
