A battle of incompetent offenses, with all scores coming on busted plays pretty much. He had the ball in FG range, but for some reason went with a pass, held on to the ball forever, and Woodley caused a fumble. Strange last few plays...

I'm really starting to dislike this game though, the rushing game just feels broken to me. I have a pretty good line ratings wise, but they don't hold blocks and get consistently pushed back into me on running plays. I can't hang with the elites without a running game. :|

Good game Ram.

Two turnovers on my first 3 plays, not what you want. One was my mistake, I shouldn't have forced it but sometimes I get away with it so I tried it. Always do it to see what I could get away with. Spiller's fumble wasn't a fumble from my view, I thought it came out while he was on the ground.

I was going for it on 4th on about the 50 down 14 in the first because I didn't want to give you the ball back so quickly. Called TO because I was in the wrong sub package, but fortunately for you I hit the B button by accident and it was a fake fucking punt. Couldn't call timeout. Didn't know it at the time to be honest, so when I snapped it initially I thought I chose punt, I didn't. Probably could have ran for the first if I knew before the snap but I didn't.

Was pretty upset after that flurry of fuck ups but I managed to play a good game and mount a comeback. The Wallace TD with seconds left in the half was nuts, I should have taken a deeper drop, but with a LB on him against your package I couldn't do much. Still my players kind of got in my way and I couldn't wrap him up.

Game was in play until the Spiller injury, then I lost my head, still came back and tied it up but I was dejected thinking I lost him for the year. Then you lost your fucking head with that throw, but I managed to top it.

To recount for the league. I tied it up with about 35 seconds or so on the clock. Ram decided fuck it I'm going deep, threw a duck and I get the int. My ball 28 seconds on the clock inside the 45.

Rip off a good run, I'm on the 37 with 18 seconds left and one timeout in my back pocket. Fucking didn't know which way the wind was blowing it was 9mph to start, so I called a deep play but it's a safe one. Had all day to throw but I didn't trust the TE to leap and grab it if I lead it, too tight. So I drifted towards the sideline, easily could have gone out of bounds with a 4 yard loss and about 10 seconds or left on the clock with one TO, or thrown it away. Instead I stood there, got strip sacked....

Then Ram scores on essentially the same play he did at the half, knew it was coming too. Get deeper next time!

Crazy game, deserved the write up.

Edit: I don't think my scores were busted to be honest, or yours, some bad user play to a degree. Was really trying to take advantage of your user LB play. I was flooding zones well though I did get away with some bad throws, both did. Had to dink and dunk my way outside of one long score where I knew what to call.

Just need to work on it, you haven't figured out the nuances, but they are there, once it clicks it sticks. Hope that doesn't come off as cocky or anything, but I feel it's the truth.

Edit: Oh, and I also lost the corner that made the int at the end of the game, I almost broke the vase on my coffee table, that shit must be moved. The user hit sticks are just crazy, even when the user whiffs, his teammates clean up, was running towards the sideline to save my players.

It was actually the same play Sanders scored on in the 1st! Just wanted to call the dogs off before they smelled blood. :p

I can't remember all of them TBH, but I know for sure that Clark was supposed to be deep on the Spiller passing TD, and Taylor should have been deep on the bunch formation TD where the guy was just wide open. They were just kinda derping around on both plays, which happens a lot in this game for whatever reason.

So both LJ and I screw ourselves out of FG range with a poor passing play sack and there's a two game swing in the AFCN. Nice.

Anyone playing anything? PSASBR, Forza, NHL, Halo, Blops?

Yeah, and I pressed him in the first and my DB got torched, so I didn't the second time, still torched. The Sanders and Wallace TD's are the same concept, I'm just an idiot, but it's hard not to be worried about the corner route, and in those situations you think the players going for the sidelines, should have just played my quarters 3 deep and called it a day, bad play.

With regards to Clark, I knew where he was going to be every play, you ran a lot of 3 deep, so my goal was to throw away from him. To do that I needed to occupy one of the DBs in the deep third. On both scores the DB was sitting on the outside WRs route, so I just led it away from Clark and in behind the occupied DBs. It worked.

Corner routes never work for me, so I tend to stay away from them. Sanders isn't my first look on that play though, I usually always go to Cotchery on the deep out, it's been getting picked a lot lately. :p

If you fuckers are still playing Halo 4 I'll be online in a few days playing it (as late as Monday). I decided to replace my 360 and found the halo 4 bundle for 280 online on Monday.

Somnia I will be down to play come Tuesday night.

Wanted to mention I'm leaving on vacation in about an hour and will be back Tuesday. I was hoping that with my bye the advance times would be ok and I'd be able to catch the tail end of the next week so I could play my games, no luck. Do what you must FMT, please don't hurt my guys DM. :(
 
You guys are missing McNeily transforming into a hall of famer

that game tying goal with 1.5 seconds left after I said well now it's over was amazing

which continues the tradition of "The opposite of what I say will happen"

Aw so now I'm going to revert back to a garbage player!

It was fun last night though. We had some sick plays on offense that wouldn't go our way. We got screwed in a couple of those games. I still don't understand how they called that hit made by our CPU winger a 5 minute major.... It was worse since it was OT!

I've been hooked on the game though again. I still can't believe I've played all my games on Defense. I've never tried offense once and I think I have like 160+ games played.

You should try O sometime just for the hell of it

I'm afraid I'll put the stats in wrong and then I'll completely mess up. I like the flexibility of playing defense and then converting to offense during the game at times. It's nice. But I might as well try a game or two as a winger just because.


Random Question:

What do you guys use to shave your face? I see a deal on slickdeals for some Norelco Phillips electric razors. I've never used one though. I use those Gilette 4 blade razors or whatever they're called. Does anyone recommend the Norelco razors? I'm thinking about buying the PT720 or PT730. It would be so much better, IMO, because razor heads are expensive as hell. I also wouldn't mind a smooth shave.

Dammit I thought you said Friday!

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
I buy a bag of disposable plastic razors, I thinkg they're gilette or something. Double blades. Everything else just got too expensive for me.

I think I use a Gillette Fusion and that gets the job done without any issue, but I have been meaning to get into the safety razor game for a while. Admittedly I have never actually used an electric, but I just have never seen how they could get as close as a traditional razor.

Some get really close, but when they start to wear down they feel like they're plucking your hairs sometimes.

From personal experience those will not work very well. I've had a few electric shavers from cheap to expensive and they always kind of suck IMHO.

Thanks for your input. I was curious as to how they worked so this helps me out. I don't want to purchase the razor and see that it doesn't work properly.

My problem is my chin. I seem to damage it horribly every time I shave. I also don't seem to shave enough of the hairs off. It looks like I have a 5 O'clock shadow on my chin immediately after shaving. I also have mad irritation there.

I'll just have to play on whatever side you're on defensively cause last night we fuckin bro-ed it up

If you heard our microphones after the game tying goal you'd think it was gay internet sex
