Ugh, nano blitz (not intentional) to kill my 2nd half opening drive basically killed my chances of winning that game.

Has anyone ever successfully made an onside kick? Every time I do it, it IMMEDIATELY goes to the other team. No bouncing around or anything, right off the foot to a receiving player.

We had 2 non-intentional nano blitzs in our game. Also I've only ever once recovered an onside kick.

GG Daw. Despite the fact that I've probably taken advantage of it more than anyone, I wonder if they'll do anything to fix kicking next year.

I was able to boot a 63 yarder fairly easily as well as a 58 yarder...into the wind.

Yeah, that was..........cheesy.

Not that I expected to win that game, but c'mon. 58 and 63 yarder with NO problems whatsoever.

Also a 50 yard FG that I forgot about because it seemed so comparatively unimpressive.

My percentage is pretty good on recovering them. There's a weird trick to it.

I think Crosby is my most hated player in this league. If I knew of a guaranteed method of roughing the kicker penalty I'd do it every time to try and injure him. Worth the 15 yard penalty!

My S play is improving big time this is great! However the game is not crediting me with all of my tackles. Getting good against the run now.

Cool seeing you transition. :)


I wonder if you'll start to suck at DL play like I do now. :lol :(

gg. I think you're a better defense when you play the line tbh. Portis got way more ypc this time than the last time we met.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll coast to an easy victory against me.

Yeah, I agree with you. Problem is my safeties are both highly rated, whereas aside from Tuck no one on the DL is a really good player. I would really prefer to play LB but I can't because it would give away who I am blitzing when I switch.

Is it just me or is everyone playing better D this year? Unless there's a lot of turnovers on one side, it seems as if the games are pretty low scoring (AI games aside). I allowed 31 to Daw but I also threw three picks and lost a fumble in that one. Seems like passing numbers are down aside from Lone/Luke (And they've each had a number of AI games).

Lions guy has the top rushing attack in the league by YPC. Is Davion Kelly up to the challenge!? The answer is a resounding:

"Maybe!"

Hey, check out the amount of times I've ran the ball for piddly winks!

I don't know if my Defense IS that much improved. I mean, When looking at it, DCX almost could do whatever he wanted at will. I'd say he didn't run the ball enough.

I only won because of time management, and luck of stopping him on 1 drive, forcing a punt. After that and my score, I could play against the deep ball pass, knowing it's coming.

Also, while it's early, I think I might like Cassell a little more than Brady. Sure, some of his intermediate passes don't lead the WR's as much as Brady, and he can WAY overthrow WR's deep, but because of his inaccuracy on his deep throws, he's throwing further ahead of my WR's. Bellow's can use his speed advantage more than I could with Brady. Brady was a little "too" accurate, and would throw closer to the current position of the WR, causing more of a jump ball situation, instead of an "in Stride" situation.

Also, he feels a little faster, and I'd say his throwing animation is faster.

My Team QB Rating is something like 146

I'm playing the worse defense. :\

While i accept the fact that my running game is what propels my victories (all 2), The numbers are kind of inflated. I had 2 60 plus yard runs against the robo-steelers with just kevin smith (and a 50 yarder with aaron brown). You let Matt Stafford loose with my all star receiving core :)lol ), and i'm just another guy who abuses sim football

Yeah I sent you a message on AIM and you signed off right after. :lol I should be home earlier today.

Denog mentioned he had a baseball game to pitch tonight in the quickly failing MLB League thread

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Oh yeah, meant to bring it up. I wonder what DCX thought I was doing, when the game is tied, I'm driving for the eventual game winning TD, but also running down the clock, and I call a Time Out out of nowhere. Any other time, no one would take a Time Out here.

I took a Timeout, because Taylor was exhausted, and I see Slaton lined up behind the QB. I called the Timeout, so Taylor would get back in the game :D

I haven't seen Smokey on at the times I've been on so I guess our schedules have been incompatible. I've been reluctant to schedule something because the last few days have been unpredictable, so I haven't contacted Smokey.

You need a #3 RB. :lol

Also, I'd take Slaton!

I actually do, and I probably should put him in 2nd. But Slaton does ok as a pass catching HB. He does alright as a running RB too, it's the fumbles. They just happen. If he get's hitsticked, it's coming out. And since that's all DCX was doing against me (Tribow was injured 3 or 4 times, Cassell Once), I wasn't going to risk that!

My 3rd RB is Khiary Jenkins. He's got some good numbers.

83 OVR
94 SPD
95 AGI
98 ACC
87 TRK
83 ELU
87 CAR
78 CTH

Hell, he's got 52 Run Blocking, would make a "meh" FB!

I probably need to get a better FB than McKie. 67 speed, 65 RBK, but 88 Impact Blocking. Just seems to be too slow up the field to engage the LB's, which seems to be my problem, because I get hit too many times right after handoff.

I believe Smokey started his internship this week.
