Just talked to Microsoft.....my 360 should be on my doorstep in the next 12 business days......3rd system since launch, over $1000 invested in games and accessories, I am going to miss the fucking Halo 3 launch, and I have to wait fucking almost 3 full weeks to get it replaced?!?! FUCK YOU MICROSOFT

Whew tough game Jube. Thank god I was able to mount a power running game to keep your loaded offense off the field.
Finally back at .500 but I got a long way to go to get back into the playoff race. The fact my division opponents each have only one loss in the loss column in ridiculous!!!

GG Livewire. This game is a real bitch when it comes to turnovers (extremely excessive fumbles and INT's returned for TD) and the home team almost always has less turnovers by a wide margin. Kinda cheap. I barely passed the 100 yard mark on offense (had 109) and I was still able to score 24 points. Hang in there LiveWire. You deserved to win that game...
Hope you're happy DCX, I'll do my best to keep you in the playoff race!

Dude, if anyone knows your pain in dealing with Microsoft, it's yours truly.DCX said:
Hell, my latest "fix" is already breaking down... Sorry to hear about you having to deal with that crap. Hopefully, they can't fix it and end up giving you a new hdmi one. I want to get my yearly game with you in too. Howabout tomorrow evening around 7 PDT?Wellington said:
Listen Lone...I know what happened in Ramirez's game earlier(scoring 20pts in almost 4mins) and I wasn't about to take the chance. If you're telling me 16points is a safe lead with this game I have no words.
I would never run up the score...lets not act like your offense wasn't moving that game. I had to get some big ass stops(Before halftime ring a bell?). Come on now.

There's no way my offense is good enough to score 20 points in 4 minutes. It's the epitome of SLOW. And I couldn't stop you on offense, even besides the bombs. 6 of 7 on 3rd downs, man. You were doing ok until you decide to bomb it to the endzone with 3 minutes left on the game. You can't just assume the game will decide to break, so better score as much as you can!
Otherwise, take out the "no running up the score" rule.

Thanks man, keep hope alive. I hope to have a temp console in place sooner than later. Braylon and Winslow are beasts! You could have tried to use them more. Jamal is good, very good. I'm glad you forced some turnovers, i have a rough time doing that. All in all, a good win. I see you used Frye as opposed to Quinn. Hey, a win is a win.ChrisJames said:

Personally I'd do that. There's too much debate about running up the score. What's the worst that can happen? someone gets embarrassed for getting scored on too much? I've lost a lot of games this season by a wide margin. If people can score on me, that's my problem, not theirs.
Then again, it's 5:39 am.

SickBoy said:"on Saturday I should be pretty free during the day."
If the early afternoon (ET) works for you, that would be great for me. But let me know when you're available if that's no good, and I should be able to work the game in without too much difficulty. But the earlier the better (the closer to 1 p.m. ET the better, I guess is what I mean)
I will be at the Wake Forest/Maryland game on Saturday from about 1230 til about 730 (tailgating). We can play in the morning or in the evening after 9. Sunday is open as well.

Here's the problem with running up the score. If you have nothing going for you on offense, nothing i mean close to sub 100 yards etc down by 21 due to the other guy not getting red zone TDs for instance, 1-2 minutes left...you almost are ready to mail it in. You are expecting someone to mail it in. Run off the clock, get a couple of first downs, let the other burn TOs and enter the stats...but no, you have PA, you have over the top passing plays etc. Now you down 28-30 points and for what? What have you really done other than make it feel like a random match on Live?
Sim league, use NFL like tactics. Yes i know the fumbles and ints, but what's that any different than any and every play in the NFL? You can fumble three times in a row, does it happen? No, but it COULD happen. To avoid " bullshit " we resort to running up the score to make sure? Man...what has a GAF league turned into?

The running up of a score is only annoying if you have someone taunting you or they come in here and brag about the game and whatnot. I don't think anybody in here is purposefully trying to piss someone off by running up the score. If I am getting beaten ( and I have lost four games so I know how it feels) and one of you started dancing on the goal line before scoring when the game was almost over, then I would call that running up the score and I would be pissed.
Remember: Every play is a learning experience. You either get better on defense, or you learn new plays that may work on the next guy you play. Don't take this shit so personally. You decide if it bothers you, not the other player.

I'm sure if you'd have come back and tied it and later won it wouldn't have been a joke. I built a 31-7 lead because you forced the ball too much and I got some picks and forced punts in the first half. In the second half all those passes over the middle into double coverage were being caught and my guys started dropping what should have been easy interceptions. Bly x 1, Lynch x 1, Bailey x 2, all square in the chest between the numbers, dropped. You did have like 4 injuries in the first half but so did I and they didn't burn away time outs for either of us. When I got the ball back late in the half you had at least 2 time outs left because you called them and forced a punt with over a minute left, you just let way too much of it tick away, especially on one play where you let like 20 seconds tick off before you even snapped the ball. I had 4 injuries, 3 to Henry and one to Walker (out for the game in the 1st quarter, good times) and at the end of the half I still had 2 time outs left, my only one gone was the one for the failed challenge.
You played a great 4th quarter and almost came back but you lost the game for yourself in the first quarter with all those bad passes and bad pass defense. Neither of us were hit with bullshit fumbles or ninja AI interceptions. If the game was "against you" the entire time but the last 3 minutes then it was obviously against me the last 3 minutes and you still had an easy 2 point conversion to get to tie it and j00 failed.

I haven't said anything about all the complaining about ints and fumbles, mainly cause I didn't want to jinx myself, but since I threw my first two ints last game I guess there is no harm. Its really not that bad, sure there is a bs one once in a while but generally speaking the ints come from bad passes. I know that both of mine came from that. In real life trying to force passes when u shouldnt will get you picked off too.
And the fumbling, I think I'm pretty high up on rushing fumbles with 4 and all of those have been my fault for the most part (rushing portis too much). However, I do challenge every fumble because like you all have pointed out it seems like theres some called just for you to challenge.

Since i cant run up the score because i suck, i want to just say that if i did have the option to run out the clock i would... I stay on the attack as long as my opponent is calling timeouts.. once they run out then its time to run the clock out...
One thing that makes me want to rip someones face off is the taunt going into the end zone.. i would love to sit next to one of you when that happens so i can punch you in the face.... other than that the season is awesome...

I have hit x when trying to jump in the endzone and had them do the little endzone jump taunt. I assume we all mean the high step thing though.

Damn too bad he edited it all out, that was some good drama material there.
