I have it. Haven't touched it yet though.
Well. Tomorrow at 4 actually works perfect. But I can probably work that out too
Same.
Sounds good.
Not sure what time you're thinking. Probably going to bed around 11-12pm est.
Oh, then we're probably not playing, heh.
Yeah started my job and am waking up early now. What time are you free tomorrow? I think my schedule is 4:30-11pm est now.
You're free from 4-11 now?
I mean I might be able to play at 11:30 tonight, I can't guarantee it though.
Ive always been free around that time. But now its only limited to that. Im working between 7:30 to 3:30. I could stay up late tomorrow probably. Just really tired tonight.
Nice, in my day, you just got into high school for breathing and having a pulse
Since there was some discussion about this last night, a quick looks at the sack numbers for the NFC West and the OL ratings as well:
Despite Wellie's Eeyoring, the Rams have allowed the fewest sacks in the division, this is probably at least partially because the Rams are the only team with 2 players to have 90 or better pass block ratings.
Bobby Massie has been one of the worst LTs in the league, but the only relevant rating of his that seems that low is his awareness, which is the third worst of any starting OL in the division. Still he has the highest pass block rating of any Right Tackle in the NFC West and yet he's given up almost 3 times as many sacks!
Anywho, next thing I'll look at is the sack numbers of teams that each has played.

Nice, Bluemax exposing the truth!
You're the Football Outsiders of the Madden league. I love it.
I think tomorrow would work better about 7:45PM est? Does that work?
More NFC West Sacks Info:
First number is number of times they were sacked by that team. Second number is number of sacks that team has on the season. Third is what percentage of that teams sack numbers came from that game.
Patriots, Eagles and Seahawks owe a lot of their sack numbers to the Cardinals! The Bills have absolutely feasted on the NFC West so far.

The real numbers here would be each team's sacks per drop back.
For an offense that'd be Sacks/(Sacks+Attempts)
Same for a defense, but then you can calculate the sacks above a (or below) a team's average and detect the relative quality of the offensive line in question.
i.e., Wellie's stats could be low because he hasn't played a team that generates a bunch of sacks, et cetera
Right. Last time I listed sack stuff I posted offensive sack % because I knew not everyone passes as much. Wellie and I were at the top of that list by a good margin.
A full on defensive analysis would take a lot longer to do. But I think intuitively the teams that get the most and biggest leads will have more sacks because their opponents are forced to pass more. Like my last game against FMT where he only had 6 pass attempts because he had a huge lead and an effective running game.
A big "problem" is the number of teams who either can't or won't run the ball.
Hey, I tried running the ball in my last game and I legitimately got tackled by my offensive lineman. I took that as a sign that the Madden gods don't want me to run the ball.
I had some runs against FMT where it looked like I got hit sticked THROUGH my offensive linemen.
Speaking of running:
Marshawn Lynch Week 1: 17 Att 67 yards
Marshawn Lynch Week 2: 13 Att 36 yards
Robert Turbin Week 3: 22 Att 56 yards
Robert Turbin Week 4: 6 Att 29 yards
Robert Turbin Week 5: 17 Att 107 yards
Robert Turbin Week 6: 24 Att 106 yards
Robert Turbin Week 7: 16 Att 60 yards
Running back controversy? Not that these stats are amazing or anything.

turbin had a couple good runs against me. he's a bit speedier than lynch but if turbin gets touched he goes down immediately. pretty sure lynch is similar to gore in that he can keep his balance and shrug off tacklers.
am i the only player in the league who uses 4 RB's regularly!?

Tomorrow I won't be back till 930 CT or so, I can roll whenever after that
Tonight would be better though
Would you be able to roll earlier if it advanced earlier?Turbin actually has lower speed than Lynch but slightly better acceleration. Lynch is better in pretty much everything not related to catching passes.
As for 4 RBs, I dunno. I know there are some people who use two like GCQ and Wellie, but I haven't seen anyone go deeper than that.
I'll probably stick to Lynch/Turbin with Washington coming in on third downs to catch passes.

Tell me friend...
... how do I convert those numbers into wins?

i can't believe anyone is excited for RE6 after how crappy RE 5 was. the game wasn't completely unplayable or anything but it wasn't very entertaining. i don't see why anyone would be at a midnight launch for resident evil: giraffe getting head
