gg AT... Rodger's numbers were ridiculous, great game by him (and you too obviously :D )


But were you taking it easy on me?

I dont want people to feel bad/not try to score all the time just because i suck/am winless-- Not that I think thats a huge problem for me, considering some of my loss margins:lol


EDIT: Looking to trade up in the TE position I have Brad Cottam 87 TE- Looking to Get someone mid 90s- I'd trade Cottam and something else, depending on what you would need

In response to rors/FMT

I have nothing against the rules that we have, I think they are flexible enough to allow for circumstances like the jets games 4th down and provide enough rules to stop people from going for it every down.

Just not a fan when people say they are completely ignoring the rules, when I don't think the two rules in place are that hard to follow.

If we ammended the 2nd rule to say or up by one score (so 1-7 pts) I think most people would never even run into a situation outside of that. What would people think about that? Would people follow that moreso than the current one?

So basically:
1) No going for it in your own territory unless its the 4th quarter and you are losing.
2) In no mans land (I'd say thats what 30-45 yard line?) you can only go for it IF (you are tied OR you are losing OR you are winning by one score) AND its within 7 yards.

Everything else is a judgment call. What I mean is anything not stated as against the rules = fine. This allows for situations like strikers, like 4th and inches attempts near goalline up by 3, etc. Since only two places on the field are mentioned: 1) your side of the field and 2) no man's land



Edit:

On a related note did a quick google search for nfl no man's land and found this:

I could've used this against Wellie. I took a delay of game intentionally on a fourth down because I came out to go for it originally and then realized that it might be bad form since I was up a TD at that point.

bluemax I'm heading to bed. Gotta wake up early to go to work. What's your availability like for tomorrow?

After 7:30 PST is about the earliest I can usually go. Although tomorrow I kind of need to go grocery shopping, been gone 2 weeks and don't have much food. But let me know.

I'll post when I get home, I really don't like to play games when the wife works 13 hours. She just wants to sit down and watch some TV.

Yea, same here. It's hard to tell her that you're sorry that she had a rough day but I've got to get this game of Madden in. :lol

Depends on how early you'd be willing to go and whether I'll be allowed to play at that time. I know I'm playing my NCAA game as soon as I get home around 5:30 EST but after that, I'm not sure what my availability will be. Chances are that I will be up til at least 12 to 1 EST tonight though.

Same here, but I try to make that as rare as possible.

okay just post when you free up I guess. I can definitely play any time up until about 8 or 9, after that it becomes dicier.

GG dskillz. My offense played great and I was able to stick to my gameplan. I am glad that I was able to get this weeks game in today. Next weeks its back to playing in the dorms. :(

Edit: I hate how I just couldn't get any sacks. Refs should have called intentional grounding on at least some of those last second throws.

You won 34-0 and you are asking for intentional grounding calls. okay. Then again since you were going 4-wide and throwing the ball when you were up by 24 in the 3rd, I shouldn't expect any less.

It was more of a complaint against madden not calling any intentional grounding. I think I went 4 wide on a third and long and I didn't think it was that bad. Since you think it was uncalled for, I apologize.

GG though. Not sure where the holes in your team is.

BTW, I punted instead of going for the FG because my kicker can not kick a FG beyond the 20 yard-line. In the future, I probably will go for it because that is as good as a punt.

Yeah, I assumed you had a weak kicker but it caught me off guard. My kicker has the opposite problem. I do think you are a CB away from being a really good team.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
Birdman, I''m only free to play from 11 pm est tonight.

Tomorrow night I should be able to play whenever, so if that's better, name your times.

No he's not. 87 is his number. 77 is his rating.
