I decided to audible Peppers out into the flat and you threw it right too him. All you had to do was run the ball and make me use my timeouts!

I tried taking a sack at the end to fumble and lose the game but Meyers held onto the ball!

More importantly, I got 3000 bonus XP for this game! Time to upgrade Meyers again.

I got some good deep ball practice in that game.

It was a screen, just as good as the run like 80% of the time, I was doing that because you kept running towards the line before I even hiked it so you would tackle my guys immediately. Then he intercepts the ball with his hand behind his back, below his waist, one handed.

GG THOUGH, YOU BIG JERK. Didn't even bother denying that you were holding Y!

Hey, when do you want to get our game in? I need to stop that rookie TE of yours so Trey Glass or Flancher can win rookie of the year.

Well....unfortunately the next couple of days kind of suck for me.

My wife works tomorrow and thursday and I have the kiddo by myself. The best day would be friday at like 3:30 CST. We can try to work it in either tomorrow or thursday early evening if the kid is being amicable, though I may have to pause a lot....

We can try to get it in before Friday but I should be able to play at 3:30. I think my office closes at 12 but can't say for sure.

I was having so much fun trying to unleash the dragon I forgot to test my Marshall theory in our game!

I gotta upgrade Meyers deep accuracy a couple more points. I lead my WR too far on a couple passes. Get my DAC and the ball doesn't travel as far away from my WR, and I have a couple more TDs instead of ints.

 

[CB3]

So Rayman Origins is gonna be 800 points on XBL on Thursday. I'd implore you all to buy it.

 

[Ramirez]

Livewire, you around by chance?

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

DM, what times are good for you to play?

 

[bluemax]

Hmm so right now I'm 10th in the league in pass defense but 20th in rush defense. I'm sure that'll even out as more of this weeks games are played, but still ugh. I need to improve at stopping the run if I'm gonna compete with Wellie and FMT consistently.

Surprisingly I am second in the league in sacks. Tied for third in fumble recoveries and 9th in INTs.

Hunh, of the NFC West teams Seattle, SF and St. Louis all have 31 red zone trips.

I have 19 TDs and 9 FGs. FMT has 16 TDs and 10 FGs and Wellie has 20 TDs and 6 FGs.

 

[levious]

I wish we weren't so desperate for players, a bunch of you are annoying as fuck and I want to replace you.

merry xmas to you too luke!

 

[eznark]

Not at all, it was more a comment on that people just don't pay attention, pick 2 man and hold Y and don't care about jersey numbers and knowing whether that's a tackle or a TE in disguise

I think the number thing is just people goofing around like me taking the masks off of guys...unless crow is doing it.

The lazy man coverage thing makes sense if you look at where a lot of secondaries start. There seemed to be a bias toward higher MCV for corners and higher ZCV for safeties. If you apply the traditional min/max XP to what is now an RPG it makes sense that people would dump all their points into their strength and try to play man safety clouds all day long.

Story, when do you wanna play America's game of the week?

 

[Wellington]

I'm in that special football purgatory where I have to start Wayne Hunter at LT for the rest of the season. Disgusting.

This.

Such an amazing game and a stupid good deal at that cost.

 

[eznark]

I played it on Vita. Amazing game and perfect for that gorgeous screen.

 

[storybook77]

Story, when do you wanna play America's game of the week?

I should be available later this evening say around 10:30 EST.

Woke up at 5 today =(

 

[Nightz]

Anyone gonna do an updated playoff picture by any chance?

You're in man lol

I think LJ is the only one who has secured a playoff spot. I can still lose out and miss the playoffs lol.

 

[TheCrow]

DCX

It's the afc. You can never be sure until the playoffs actually start.

 

[bluemax]

Sort of early in the week to do one, but:

AFC
1. San Diego 11-1
2. Cincinnati/Buffalo 10-3
3. Buffalo/Cincinnati 10-3
4. Houston 9-4
5. Denver 10-2
6. Pittsburgh 9-4
7. Indianapolis 8-4 1 GB
8. Oakland 6-6 2 GB
9. Tennessee 5-7 3.5 GB

Only Buffalo has clinched, and no one else in the AFC can clinch this week.

If playoffs started today:

Denver @ Houston
Pittsburgh @ Buffalo/Cincinnati


NFC
1. San Francisco 11-1
2. Philadelphia 10-3
3. Atlanta 9-3
4. Detroit 6-6
5. New York 8-5
6. St. Louis 8-5
7. Dallas 7-5 1 GB
8. Green Bay 6-6 1.5 GB
9. New Orleans 6-6 1.5 GB
10. Tampa Bay 6-6 1.5 GB
11. Chicago 6-7 2 GB

San Francisco can clinch the division with a win this week over Arizona. Green Bay is tied with Detroit for first but EA lists Detroit first so that's who I'm listing first for now. Atlanta can also clinch with a win and losses by New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

If playoffs started today:

St. Louis @ Atlanta
New York @ Detroit/Green Bay

You hear that Nightz? You're out of the playoffs if you go 11-5, Patriots style.

 

[Wellington]

I looked at it this morning, I think AT is 8-4 right now and is matched up with levious.

DM and levious hold tiebreakers over me, so I will need help to be able to hold on. I think if I win 2 of my last 3 I should be in no problem. It's three divisional games and only one at home though, and that's the one against FMT.

 

[eznark]

Trasher can you play tonight around 9:30 or so?

 

[Nightz]

You hear that Nightz? You're out of the playoffs if you go 11-5, Patriots style.

Yup. Well at least I've guaranteed a .500 coaching record for the first two seasons. I went 5-11 in season 1.

Nice turnaround. I might do the exact same actually. I think i finished last season 7-9. I was hoping to finish 9-7 this season. It's still a possibility. I have 3 games left... but my hopes are down since I play Trash, LJ, and Pheen.

 

[Trasher]

Trasher can you play tonight around 9:30 or so?

Hmmm not looking the best. Can you play earlier around noon?

 

[eznark]

Hmmm not looking the best. Can you play earlier around noon?

Only day I can possibly play during the day is Friday. Anything else is after 9.

Clown doesn't even have a functioning xbox. He is wasting all of our time. Just let me play the cpu.

Were it so easy.

Remember when Halo was good?

At least you don't have to go undefeated to win your division. :/

[DCX]

Undefeated.

Nope

Picked up $100 in Steam bucks at lunch. I can probably get like 500 games for that this week. Thanks, Halo/NHL!

 

[Smokey]

Luckily you don't have to play rors anymore

 

[TheCrow]

2-2 this year and my losses were by a field goal. It was a close series, unfortunately some glitches that may not exist ruined it.

I can't believe your opponents let you get to 6-7. This is BS!

Define the word cheese.

So is this hit stick shit a real thing? Playing my game against the CPU, I was controlling a linebacker and going to cover a pass out to the flats, completely whiffed on my hit but the CPU player that was immediately behind me did one and forced a fumble, which usually never happens for me. Plus it was Prince Amukamara, who has a hit power of only 65.

Yes. Early on it made you whiff on the whole team and end up a TD. I believe there were tons of complaints..mainly Dline users I believe but it now can be done for good with hit sticking. Global hit stick if you will. Same properties apparently work with ball hawk.

DCX

 

[DCX]

Doesn't work 100% of the time..but I have seen it happen.

DCX

 

[Ramirez]

So wait, if you try to hit stick & miss, it makes your whole team hit stick?

 

[eznark]

oh great, king cheese caught on

 

[CB3]

See what you did, guys
