I'm around during the day tomorrow, and I'll be free Sunday night - pretty much Thanksgiving. I'm really fucking tempted to play tonight, though...give me a few mins to think about it.

Oh, I'll be around tomorrow in the day too. I'm waiting for the delivery of my new fridge early in the morning, but the afternoon is clear.

So there's no ramifications for being a jackass, now right? Just folks scolding you on the Internet?

MAN I WISH I HAD AN OFFENSE

Man, 0-16 here I come.

Time of possession that game was 6 minutes...I didn't even get to touch the ball on O in the 3rd...good times.

That 3rd quarter drive had to be my luckiest drive ever. Every 3rd down I would somehow get an inch over the yellow marker. Of course I ended the drive with a 25 yard FG, Buc style.

Yea, many curse words were thrown out on that drive...seemed my guys were purposely pushing your guys forward to the 1st on every 3rd down. :lol

Oh, I forgot about the safety where I got sacked before I could handoff the ball on a run, I love this game's line play.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

I was hating the writers strike till you brought to my attention it freeing up your BUSY schedule.


Carr is garbage,but I should have picked him and the Panthers.He's always been overrated in Madden.

Now is good for me. WAKE UP!!!
Sorry, I was awake, just not available like I said in my earlier post until the afternoon...forgot to mention I'm PST. I tried to ask you last night. :[

I'm available for my ass beating right now, though.

Shawn, since I'm such a nice guy I'm letting you know that you forgot to give one of your recievers a TD. You had 3 passing TDs on your team stats, and your QB had 3 passing TDs, but only 2 recieving TDs were recorded.

Dwayne Jarrett thanks you! :D

I think my 360 just died. I started it up and was gonna practice for a couple of minutes before playing MrBob. I selected teams and when it went to the last page of setup the music cut out and it stopped responding.

I turned it off and when I turned it back on the video never came on and it didn't really make any noise. I get RROD after about 30 seconds of it being on.

Why? Why did this happen? I've had it for over a year and taken it on the plane a couple of times with no problems. I haven't logged that many hours on it, its in a well ventiliated spot on my floor.

:(
 
:lol Oh DCX...

That article on your team page is fuel for the fire baby! Didn't you learn that I bring my best game when I have purpose and motivation? I am going to try and win big to really make that article you put up all the more hilarious! :lol


EDIT- Yo 50,FMT did you guys ever do the season awards for last year? I was looking forward to the laugh.

Damn, Rors is losing 35-13 in the 4th. Will the Broncos ever stop being a power team in Madden?! Will the #1 rankings spot curse continue? Poor Rors..we had to rank him #1, but now he's losing less than 24 hours later.

wtf: last year the broncos had crazy amounts of sacks..this year it's INTs. 5 INTs in game one..now SEVEN against Rorschach. That's insane. I figured Rors would be so conservative that he'd throw 3 max.
 
Tough game, Rors. I love my secondary, though! It was a pretty even game if you take away the INTs. I thought you were going to take control when I lost sight of your defender and threw a pick 6 in the flat, but thankfully, Champ bailed me out on the very next play with the 108 yard kick return for a touchdown.

I know I don't have anything to complain about since I got 7 INTs (though about 4 of them were user picks!) and your guys couldn't catch my errant throws, but on the one play where you hit Cutler (causing the fumble), I was jamming on the Y button to throw and he was just sitting there like a damn statue. Really, really weird.

FMT - If John Lynch doesn't get POTW, you fail. Three of his four INTs were in Rors' end zone.

Fun fact: John Lynch had 4 INTs that game. That's more than he's had in his last 51 NFL games!

Will he be the next Simeon Rice?

You'll have a new #1 team soon enough. :D

YOU DIDN'T NEED TO SCORE 21 ON HIM IN THE 4TH!

Wish you were on my scheduele, I would really like to see why the Bronco's are like the team of destiny in this game.

I f-ng stink at this game now,I guess thats what I get for hardly playing.

I should have just stuck with my Texans or picked my old reliable QB Carr.I dont have time to learn how to play with the Bengals and I hate playing D with them.As a whole the team flat out sucks at tackling.

Oh well,GG Bob.

Worst part of the game was that absurd Young td pass :\


edit- fuck me the game froze,I got my team stats down and only some of my players stats down.

I think I was also only like 1 off the INT lead last season too. It was hard to get picks, barely anyone ever threw Baileys way and everyone else had stone hands. I think DJ Williams had my team lead and I manually controlled him most of the time. Are you finding it equally impossible to get any sort of consistent running game with Henry? He's fucking worthless in the game. Too slow to break anything long, too weak to power through anything.

I toweled twice, first time 10 minutes and it lasted long enough for me to download Carcossone and then try and start a game with MrBob.

Tried a second time for about 30 minutes plus with longer cool off time. It worked for I dunno 5 minutes before it beeped and crashed. Then I rebooted and it started even though the RROD was flashing. Finally it went back to just RROD and now game.

I ordered the coffin about an hour or so ago so we will see how that goes.

Both Henry and Young are competent at the very best. His trucking weapon does absolutely nothing for him as I had more broken tackles on average with Reggie Bush, and his 90 speed just doesn't get him around the corner. My favorite running back is actually Cecil Sapp because he is one of the quickest FBs I have ever used. However, no matter who you have at RB, you will get yards if you keep pounding away. It's certainly a HUGE step down from the God himself, Reggie Bush, but my defense is so much better that I really can't complain too much.

What really killed me is the last roster update becasue I got absolutely zero line pressure and penetration against the Raiders. The only pressure I got was from blitzing my LBs. In addtion to losing Simeon Rice, losing Sam Adams' bull rush weapon really hurts because he is the player I typically control. It looks like I'm going to have to live (and die) by blitzing and hoping that my elite secondary can cover guys one on one.

I've been very, very happy with my defensive backs, though they were helped immensely by the pressure from my line (1st game) and linebackers (2nd game), which forced a lot of lame duck throws where I had time to line up the interception myself. At least 6 of my INTs are user picks.
