GG Nightz. You got fucked on the INT to safety. I was trying to kick the FG there and the play suggestion popped up to go for it. I assumed it was fate and didn't want to waste a timeout.

The early INT(s) must have shaken Rodgers confidence because he was awful on a lot of throws.

as a reminder to all, please don't snap the ball while a guy is in motion. if it is a "designed" motion (the blue routes where the CPU automatically does it) that whatever you can't help that but manually motioning and then snapping while the guy is in motion is a no-no. i only saw scott do it once (maybe twice) but just for everyone don't do this. manual motion is fine but let your guy reset, give it a tick and then snap

It was a good game. The fullback dives and qb sneaks are a bit much! But you're still getting your feet under you in the league.

Aside from the first quarter that was some rough sledding. You locked down Murray pretty well

I dont feel the situations i did those plays in were too crazy, i did one qb sneak on the goaline and three fb dives total, one of which you stuffed to atop the winning score! I was surprised you didnt drain more clock on your last punt i wouldnt have been mad at you it would have been realistic to milk the clock in that situation

By all means talk shit about someone in twitch chat and then make a little passive aggressive comment after the game though

it's not really that those situations wouldn't call for it, it's that they are almost unstoppable. FB dive can be stopped (as it was!) but you have to go to extremely great lengths to do it and get a little lucky.

with QB sneak... i have literally not seen it stopped once from 1 yard and under, no matter what is called. i'm sure it CAN be stopped somehow (maybe manual DL?) but i have yet to see it be stopped

It's not something you'd know, but those plays are generally considered cheesy (especially the QB sneak this year). I've still seen plenty of people use them both, but I think decorum would suggest using them sparingly.

Its just a personal preference. Im not a fan of those plays (especially in the moment) but they arent against the rules.

On that last punt i forgot that the chew clock setting doesnt chew the clock on punts and field goals so i just kicked it without looking at the clock. Was a brain fart.

You made some good decisions with the ball other than that one pick. Didnt take the bait at all on what i was trying to set up. Fun to have some actual competition from the redskins for once (sorry mcneily).

I talk shit about everyone in twitch chat. Even the people in twitch chat. I was talking shit about AZ during that game, for example.
Keep trying to dig!

appreciTe it! Switching play ooks has really helped my offense, hopefully i can string some wins together so i can be in the conversations come playoff time. I used to be a beast a madden but not being able to play for 3 months really put me behind the curve

GG Drizz. Sorry about Tannehill, that was like Josh Freeman on the Vikings-level apocalyptic. Your receiver having some horrendous drops didn't help matters.

I like this rookie running back the CPU drafted for me. Nice to actually have an offense that isn't so one dimensional. The rookie QB I had autodrafted was pretty good too.

I was bummed to see Malcolm Butler isn't on my team anymore, and I have a bunch of scrub CBs playing with Logan Ryan. But I guess they did their job today.

Gg, I suck. Tannehill was so bad tho. Missing open dudes by miles, WRs dropped everything else. FB gets stuffed. That was Murphys Law in the form f a Madden Game for me. You had a 65 yd run up the gut against cover 2.

Thomas: 51.6, 7/18, 74 yds, 0 TDs, 0 INTs // 1 rush, 12 yds
Tannehill: 0.0, 2/11, 20 yds, 0 TDs, 3 INTs
Miller: 17 carries, 58 yds, 1 TD // 2 rec, 14 yds
Cameron: 6 rec, 70 yds
Shawn Johns: 8 Tkls, 2 TfL, 1 INT
And lol, Landry: 6 Pancakes, it was over early and he was just playing pissed.

Grayson: 107.3, 21/31, 223 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT
Lucas: 24 carries, 180 yds, 3 TDs // 4 rec, 45 yds
Gronkowski: 4 rec, 64 yds, 1 TD
McCourty: 8 Tkls, 2 TfL, 2 INTs

Hey speaking of cheesy stuff or borderline play - are we all on the same page with FGs at borderline range and just going for it? I am not comfortable with even a 48 yard FG considering how fast the meter moves and then if there is any input delay we are fucked. I went for it on 4th twice against Az and no one said anything but I just want to be clear that we are all on the same page here.

Last year I didn't kick anything longer than 40. This year I got a pretty OK rookie kicker so I'm extending that to 45, until I miss.

I'll attempt anything under 50 unless I've had lag issues on earlier kicks. 50+ and I usually just punt.

Funny you say this. I had two long FG attempts against DM and thought it would be cheesy or attempting to run up the score if I went for it on fourth. It's a grey area I guess. I kicked twice and missed both.

Next time I'll just go for it, fuck it.

I went for it on my own 26 in OT against blue because I sure as fuck wasn't punting into 13 MPH wind to set him up for an instant 13mph at his back FG

ended up chucking it into double coverage for an INT - threw it farther than my punt would've went! #ExploitTip339

I'm with you. If the kicking was better I might go for it more. But kickers seem nerfed and I can't trust the input game to game. As long as it isn't fourth and long I'll usually go for it in that zone.
