GG Striker.
You messaged me in-game, asking if it was alright to go for it on 4th down late in the game, tied and on a 4th and 5 at 52 yard FG territory. I didn't have time to reply "yes, of course" and you missed the FG. Who knows what would have been the outcome had you gone for it
I hate it when people ask that question. Not because they're doing anything wrong, but because it's so obviously an appropriate situation, and because of bitching by some people in this league, we've got an environment where people are scared to go for it, not because of the risk, but because they think they're breaking some league rule. If it's a realistic decision in an NFL game (your offense is doing good, and you don't have an elite kicker), it's fair to do here
Anyway, I managed to do it! 3 for 3 in one week(end). 3 wins with 3 different teams in one franchise week, over the span of 48 hours. It'll never happen again.
I don't save many replays, but here's one I had to save. My SS, Landry, had about 3 steps on the Browns WR. He could have INTed it over his shoulder, or just let it fall for an incompletion but instead he decides to give Cleveland a free TD. Had this happened late in the game to decide it, I'd be furious.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who plays me can go for it on fourth whenever they want. We're all gentlemen here so I don't think I'll be getting cheesed.Fifty said:
It was a GG.
A couple frustrations like Dawson continuing to miss FG's that have any length, Bennett's route running causing the Reed pick six, and Corey Graham's inability to jam or step in front of Anquan on that huge 3rd & 18 play. He just stood there like a normal player would catching a 5-yard curl route. Jump the route!
5-5, last in division. Ugh.

i feel your pain on the FG kicking striker. while guys like jano and whoever gb's kicker is easily hit 60 yarders, anything approaching high 40's with nedney is a crapshoot. maybe i'll draft a kicker this season.... in the first round!

Only in the NBA. I wanted to kill puppies when the Bulls won the championship. Plus i feel Carolina and Tampa Bay are bigger rivals.Wellington said:DCX I'm calling your ass out.
I am sickened that someone in the NFC won it, if it was a division rival I'd probably be dry heaving. You're pretty ridiculous!!

Were you in on the DC days? I forget if it was you or the other lonestar that doesn't post here anymore.Lonestar said:
I sunk more hours into PSO than any other game. It was an awesome experience the whole way through with all the GAFfers. Shouta, kiryogi, alex, whichever lonestar, Frag and darkshire, those were the days. :lol
original PSO was what got me on GAF in the first place. my brother and i played HARDCORE when it first came out. i was in college at the time and he was in high school and we'd basically take shifts playing and probably played 16+ hours a day with our character. during those first couple weeks we'd be the highest level guy in almost every group. dedication
gaffers always seemed to be on the servers and i knew one from somewhere else so it just made sense....

Yeah same here. I joined GAF a few weeks before PSO came out just to read Folken's impressions. When it did hit I took a week off of school, fuck that. :lol I've never been so flat out owned by a game in my life. I think my combined time with WoW and FFT doesn't top the time I spent with PSO.AstroLad said:

WTH....Never ever pull for the Saints, Bucs, or Panthers unless a win from one of those teams puts us in the playoffs. If 2 of those teams are playing each other, hope for a tie or a stadium implosion! As a Falcon fan, I am saddened by the number of Who Dat status updates on my facebook by so called "loyal" fans. They should have their season tickets revoked.

The fuck???? We've been rivals with NO since we've both had teams. :lol

Actually, the team came from a shady deal between a NO congressman Hale Boggs and Pete Rozelle that allowed for the NFL/AFL merger to happen. Corrupt team origins from a corrupt as fuck city.storybook77 said:Apparently some voodoo priest had some money and started up a team.
