Yeah, it sounds like Thrasher ignored Rinse for weeks instead of letting him know he didn't want to do the trade anymore. Maybe we need to institute a 24 hour rule for trades. After 24 hours is up the trade is valid.

GG Blue.

Sorry about the end of the game there, I was just really fucking mad about giving up those 3 major plays to you and wasn't about to lose on that note.

Fucking unstoppable full back dive in goal line situations, I knew it was coming and there was nothing I could do.

I should've protected the edges on the 2 point conversion, not that it mattered against your unstoppable run game.

I have 4 losses and 3 of them are by 1 point. I lost this one because I missed a 55 yard FG by inches to the right.

I just realized I agreed to trade both of my quarterbacks. Obviously I'm going to have to Trasher out of one of those deals.

He also ran the Wellington classic: third and 1, put my bruising RB at full back in the I and hand off to him. I don't blame him though since the Rams full back sucks.

I knew I was boned against the run when Bobby Wagner hit SJAX 3 yards in the back field, stood him up and then SJAX fell forward for a 5 yard gain. I mean what else am I supposed to do? I was manually controlling the MLB, I made the right read, had him wrapped up and he still got a first!

Anywho, gg Wellie. Playing you is a mental workout. Every play I have to try and be one step ahead. I enjoyed that pick 6 INT because it came immediately after I subbed out Byron Maxwell and put in my faster, higher man coverage, 65 overall, 12 awareness rookie corner back. The boy may be dumb, but he knows how to stay with his man.

Holy shit. I'm gone for a few hours and rinse just turns into a fucking salt mine. I was gonna make it right too (the trade option isn't available on the website and I haven't even been on Madden since the trade was approved aka I was halfway across the country for a fucking wedding), but now the dude turns into a complete asshole.

Way to go Rinse, Trasher was going to make it right. Now he's not going to! Probably because Luke advised him against it a few minutes ago

pro tip: For a trade to go through you both have to not touch any actions ( practice, progressing players and playing a game )

I tried to trade with Splat for days and it didn't go through due to one of those one both our ends. So when the week advances, try again.

Ah yes, of course you were.

You got back on the 12th, you're telling me you didn't have to play a game of Madden the last 8 days?

It's okay, paint that picture of me.

I wish I could go back and take video. Apo was WELL ahead of your corner in coverage and I think the LB coming across to pick up Jackson's route over the middle ran right into him allowing the CB to come underneath. I was really mad when you went up, I really felt like I was playing well, but the two long receptions on busted coverage/tackles and that pick 6 had me in a hole.

You're right, it got pretty heavy scheme wise for me right around the second quarter defensively when I saw you wanted to run with Russell. I started attacking the edges with my DL but reblitzing Osi since you predominantly had your line shade right (am I correct in saying this?). Osi got there three times, once he bounced off of the fake handoff somehow and you got stopped at the LOS, the other was on a third down or so and he just ran after Turbin when he had a clear shot at Russell, and the other he got the sack.

Further, your WRs weren't getting any separation against my DBs for some reason so I started being more aggressive on blitz calls and that's when I got shat on by the long plays to BOTH Timm and Stephens. Should have been two goals right there for each guy. I was getting frustrated with the amount of times I had the right play call and my guys weren't coming up with the picks. I've been putting XP into catching for Finnegan, but he had 2 bounce off his hands.

Regarding SJax, dude for some reason he is insanely effective against you. I usually try out both him and Greenwood in the first quarter to see which one will be most effective for the rest of the game, and Jackson was just a monster, it was great.

Regarding the FB dive for a TD, I had that play as my base call and had about 3 other plays that I could audible to in case you had something decent called against it. You were fairly spread out with no one over the top so I just went ahead and ran it. Why not if you're giving me the free pass.

You know the best part about it? I did hit accept on the website. Maybe god doesn't want it to happen?!?!

I played bob the day I got back from my trip, and the trade wasn't there anywhere.

I think I actually only called 3 zone reads all game, I did lose yardage once when I called a straight QB power run to the outside. 1 of the zone reads I handed off to Turbin, one I got like 8 yards and the other I got like a yard. I don't think I was shifting right with my line, I ran to the left a pretty decent amount and with good success. Turbin had over 5 YPC, I just didn't have the ball long enough for him to accumulate more yards.

I don't think the plays where the ball bounced off Finnegan were that close to picks, he had good coverage but realistically wouldn't have made the picks. Then again, Madden!

On the Timm TD, he was running a slant and your DB was WAY off him. The LBer tried to come over to the flat but by that point the ball was out and in Timm's hands. His speed is good enough that if he gets a step on almost anyone he is gone. On the Stephens TD I got what I wanted as well, you had no safety deep, your corner was backed off and one on one. He caught it, you missed the tackle and he was gone. You played run, I gambled on a pass and won. In other words I burned you two of the few times you weren't pressing me :p

And yeah I probably would've run a dive, just not with my full back!

Oh and yes Wellie Stephens and Timm got 2 goals each. 2000XP for Stephens, 1400ishXP for Timm.

Its kind of weird, I think in the entire time I've been in the GAF league this is by far the highest percentage of passes I've ever completed to my outside receivers. My 3 and 4 guys are basically never seeing the ball.

I meant he was way off him at the line of scrimmage. Once the catch was made and he beat the first dude he wasn't gonna be caught.

Good game, LJ. That two second bomb was full of shit. I also have no idea how you make some of those catches...that far endzone pass you snagged at the goal line was absurd.

That Steve catch was pretty nuts, but honestly, with a good QB you can pull that shit off much more easily. I just led him into space and he went up and got it, the accuracy on the throw is what mattered, I rarely get it with FItz.

That play before the half was lucky, because I never lead the route that way but your safety bugged out. If it was man coverage I was just going to check it down, but against zone I had options. Your safety played it well, but then like a moron he left the area so I just bombed it straight down the middle. Really didn't understand why he did that, though I was surprised he played it well at the start because your D looked like cover 4 and that play kills it.

Edit: Lol at the Kap trade, good job by ez, arbitrage at its finest.
