Official GAF Madden Season 2 Thread: I'm a Grabowski!

Dallas is...
Last in Points Allowed Per Game (29.5)
Last in Interceptions (11)
Second to last in Sacks (19)
Second to last in Total Rushing Yards Allowed (1808)
Last in Total Passing Yards Allowed (2671)
Third to last in Passing TDs Allowed (21)
Last in Rushing TDs Allowed (26)
Last in Takeaways (17)
Last in Turnover Differential (-17)
Second to Last in Rushing Yards Allowed Per Game (120.5)
Last in Pasing Yards Allowed Per Game (178.1)
... and Dallas is hardly the worst rated D in the game. It has a solid defensive line, and has more 90+ men than my Seahawks do! Although your FS is the one weak spot, but your SS is outstanding. It IS a 3-4 defense though, and those can be tricky from what I understand.
Look, it's OK if you aren't good at playing D. Look at my earlier league scores. I simply couldn't stop anyone, and kept getting burned on big plays. I ended up having to figure out a lot of things largely on my own, but once I did I realized that most of Madden is what YOU do(or don't), not what happens to you. As the saying goes, you have to be good to be lucky.
If you need help, just ask(I did and often). Hell, Wellington wrote a guide for 1up, so he should make himself useful there.

I'm notorious for keeping notes on all of my opponents, and as such, I keep notes on my own offensive tendencies, including my own playcalling.
If you want to see how crazy I can get about it: http://www.ga-forum.com/showpost.php?p=803505&postcount=534
As for going for it on fourth down, I didn't want you to have the ball, is all.
Ok, so that makes it ok to show no class, bc hey! you're shutting me out, and OMG! god forbid i get the ball with a few minutes left, im going to make this HUUUUGE comeback! whatever dude. I never once said "i should have won this game" or ANYTHING of the sort. I just pointed out the fact that hey, i got ripped, you cheesed alittle, whatever, game over.
As for other people, i never said "he used money plays" i didn't say anything about money plays. i said he used the same plays.

If they're not money plays, and they're "the same plays", then I don't see a problem in saying "stop him". I've played CK enough to know he regularly mixes it up. I can't sit on anything because I'll normally get creamed. (and I have
)My normal style defense gets torched by CK, I have to adjust
CK is the fucking Bill Parcells of Madden. :|
Oddly enough, I have to resort to jap plays :lol

No offense to anyone, but I don't need dudes defending me, I am a big boy.
As far as Ando jr. goes, fine, I admit I was in the wrong with going for it on that fourth down in the fourth quarter. I was on my 34 yard line and I felt that even if I didn't make it my D would have held. It was a bad move on my part.

Sickboy, what are your available times for our game.
I may be the toughest one to deal with, I get up at 5 AM EST every weekday morning.

For those who I'm supposed to play, let me know your schedule of avail. Usually 8PM PST for me, weekends are pretty open in the afternoon. Find me in #ga or sometimes on AIM, WsbiKing. Sorry for pulling a Mr. Bob!
Wasabi and Wellington
My schedule:
Get back home around 11p.m. MT for the rest of the week. Have limited-to-no availability during the day.
Saturday I have off, can probably squeeze a game (or games) in before noon. Saturday's preferable to Sunday. But if evening is required, Sunday evening is good. Saturday is already booked.

Sick: Let's shoot for Thursday night. I'll try to be on AIM. Tonight's no good, unless you want to take on a drunk!
Drunk Wasabi it is
But seriously, tomorrow is fine by me.
Just a word of caution, I'm car-pooling with the wife, who may have to stay late at work at some point in the next two days. Not sure yet about tomorrow -- outlook is of a late night, but in the end, co-workers and organizational stuff will make the difference (the next 4 weeks or so are busy for her).
By late night, I should note that she has only once ever had to stay past midnight MT once. So assuming that's not excessively late for you, I should be available by 12:30 MT at the latest. I will try to update here if and when I hear anything.

I'd rather wait. I am still researching/practicing for Sickboy and I don't want to mess that up for an incomplete practice session for DM. DM, is Sunday fine?
Hopefully Bob is left out of the playoffs so we can get a move on with these games. :lol

oh shit! archaix said PLAY YOUR GAME BITCH IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAYS!
only the raiders can save you now bob. you better suck up to rors big time
Wow that game was bullshit luck...
Collins decides to throw it nowhere NEAR the receiver I was throwing to (the opposite side of the field :lol) for the winning INT TD. (he did this twice, with no one hitting him or anywhere near him, but that one I just made me sigh)
I recover a fumble, but I don't get the ball.
2 FF, but no recoveries.
My Secondary still can't catch shit, I had to get the only INT myself. :lol
I miss a tackle due to a lag spike and oops there goes ward!
Huge anderson drops ftl..seriously, wtf! You're cut!
Anyone notice that sometimes it won't let you throw the ball after a PA fake?
I love this game, but the last 6 games it has shown me how much it hates me. I should just retire. :lol
No offense to Archaix, though. He played a great game and he has a stifling Defense...poor Jordan :lol
[edit]...haha just noticed all the smileys...but seriously, I'm laughing hystericaly right now.

Well at least someone else has a chance to win it all, since the Madden gods decided to keep my out of the playoffs on purpose after what happened in my game against Hito.
The Madden gods were seriously out to get you. While driving for little more than to waste time near the end of the game, I completed a pass to Haynes with a huge gain after the catch. Then he got hit and fumbled the ball. It stayed in place for a good while, and Haynes lay on the ground entirely uninterested in getting it. Meanwhile, the Raiders defenders ran around in circles and one jumped on the ball. Inexplicably, the next play was first and ten for the Steelers.
My guess? The defender, in all of his running around in circles by the sidelines nonsense, actually jumped from out of bounds to grab it, never establishing himself in the field of play, and therefore negating the recovery.
Or at least that's what I'll continue to claim until my last breath.
