i only saw you roll out like 3 times (outside of the pocket). definitely a legit game. you called a lot of PA passes (the SAME PA pass!) but there's nothing wrong with that.... i was shutting it down easily until you actually started running and i had to worry about your run game
gg though. that was some definite bullcrap that i even had a chance to tie it. also a couple throws i made with shaub were WAY off! like nowhere near their target

I'm trying not to get involved but I personally think this crap has to stop. This is probably the third or so time I've seen someone in the league flat out admit or insinuate they were playing non-sim ball and/or running up the score to prove a point or because they had some personal grudge. Seriously its lame and childish. Hopefully what FMT said will curb this trend.

Completely understandable...yet I want confirmation that milking clock when up big in the 3rd quarter is an acceptable practice. I was under the impression that milking clock was not acceptable until the 4th quarter.
Regardless of how many logs DCX wants to post or how many points he is distorting (knowingly or unknowlingly), I'm over this like I alluded to above. As heated as DCX has been on this, I have no ill will towards him. A couple weeks back, I spent nearly an hour chatting with him trying to give him tips to improve his Madden game. If I wasn't so busy, I would have hooked up with him in an exhibition to give him hands on feedback for improving his game. So while he has his right to angry over the game, it does hurt that he has taken the position he has in completely slandering my name and my game. Could I have completely shut down my game, sure I could have...But I know some people view that a sign of disrespect.... so it's a tough one to navigate.
DCX....I genuinely apologize that you felt so disrespected by the way I conducted myself in our game. I've made my reasons known why I did what I did. Whether or not you decide to accept some responsiblity for the outcome in the last 3 mintues of the 4th quarter is your choice. I feel fine about my attempts to give insight to my play and subsequent efforts to try and diffuse the situation. It is my hope that you'll share the same objective I have in bringing this matter to a close.

2 instances of running the score up, 1 questionable instance, and the league is out of control! save us!
if you are up 31-7 at halftime you bet your balls you can run out the clock in the 3rd. 2 scores down or less i would say no. but a 24 point lead at halftime? yes. the game is pretty much over in 99% of the cases. let your opponent make a run before putting it on again.
p.s. as i told dm before i will be running the score up on him in the final week. 255-0

I don't think I care anymore what the score is at the end of a game. If you wanna run up the score on me, do it. Whatever it's a video game. I've freakin taking some huge beatings over the last couple of years in Madden and I did my share of whining, calling people cheaters and sexy up Rors mom (sorry dude). But I'm done with it. I've gotten so bad at Madden that my goal is no longer to win 3 games in one single season it's to win 3 games period of Madden 08 during our entire time playing it in these leagues.
I would love to be able to run the score up on someone, I think that would feel awesome. Especially on someone like DM. I would even send him a new controller if he decided to discipline it after our game.
But I know nothing like that will ever happen, so don't worry folks.
P.S. if any of your asshats ever run the score up on me I'll eat your dog and sex up your garden gnomes. Yes! The gnomes too. So don't even try it. :lol

I'm mixed on running the clock in the 3rd. Down three scores, I think I have a chance to win a game... and if it's tight, I don't want to see my opponent running the clock until late in the 4th (I think 4:00 is the earliest I wouldn't think milking clock was at least a little cheesy)...
That said, if I'm beaten, I don't want my opponent to keep hammering at me... to be fair to Shawn, I also wouldn't call a high-risk D (but I think in such a case there are better clock-consuming ways of facing such a D -- flats anyone?)

remember when you destroyed me with the falcons? it was like 28-3 at half, then i conceded!

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
I feel the same way as True,if anyone here who plays me is beating me I dont care anymore if you run the score up.Id rather just play then watch the clock tick down slowly.
Wow, that was a crazy game. I thought it was over too early and almost choked. gg Gunstar :lol
edit: Here's what happened:
I somehow kept him out of the endzone all game even though he was in the redzone 5 times and got some lucky tds to take the lead. So I''m up 7 with a minute left and I kneel 3 times even though I could have run and got in FG range. Just dumb lol
He had 3 tos and used them all so he got it back with 39 secs. I play prevent and he somehow bombs one inside my 10 with like 10 seconds left and the clock running. He was hurrying up and I got a lucky pick 6 in the endzone as time expired

hmmm...fuck it, let me log on. I don't care, it's THE BROWNS. At least I'll play better than Alabama (still means I can loose 38-21, as long as I do better than 14....ugh...
Oh, can I premptively post that I ate something bad, and I might have to pause at some point to vomit out of my....well, not mouth. I think I'm better, but you never know!

Hey Luke, not sure what your company situation is, but in a few minutes I'll be playing my Xbox 360 gaming console for the foreseeable little while if you want to play. Just send me a message if you can play.
Going to give this Carcassonne thing a try, so I should notice messages.

hahaha, that was a great game. I think we broke a scoring record. Malley 45 - 42 in OT. Me with the monster passing numbers, him with the insane breaks! 89 yard INT return, a improbable zig zag of Madden AI confusion, a tip pass that the WR actually hauled in a scored a TD on, and 2 or 3 just throw it deep and williamson outran my DB's.
hahahahaah I actually forgot about that tipped pass to williamson... I even sat for a moment with the ball like wtf.... yea that browns offense is a beast... seriously... all them cats out to receive and one of them WILL pull it in... and Braylon just jumps like Dwight Howard in pads... I am glad i dont have to play them again, my team just let them march right down the field like they were on strike or something... :lol
except when it counted, in OT. Should have went to something else. I had 2 times the offensive yards, but the lucky breaks are the equalizer! But this loss was a fun loss, feels good to have some offensive ability, coming from Seattle Thought I held AD pretty good, EXCEPT the 34 yarder in OT
Thought I held AD pretty good, EXCEPT the 34 yarder in OT Yea that one scamper was really the only break he had all game... your line was getting good pressure in the back field, but those were some good calls on d and my blocking just couldnt hold them.
When did derek anderson get hurt? I didnt even notice he was out until the announcer said Quinn's name on that run. I didnt notice any difference between the two neither... Anderson could have had over 500 yds if he stayed in. serious shootout
i also forgot to use t jacks legs.. I am not used to having a mobile qb. Gotta try that out next game...

Damn the offensive numbers are insane so far this year. Maybe it's just because we've only played 2 games and the matchups have been favorable but if it keeps up we'll break a ton of records. Winslow already has more catches than a ton of starting WRs had all of last year :lol. Carolina, Minnesota, New Orleans, Cleveland are all off to crazy offensive starts.

He didn't get hurt, I subbed him on certain packages, in case I was going to do PA bootleg, which I did once or twice. Brady Maxwell 70+ speed, DCannon, 50 speed. I'm not running with DCannon, why would I?
I know I could have called a couple offensive plays better though. If I can clean up a couple mistakes man, I might get near Shawn's numbers :lol :lol :lol
Just call me Mike Leach. "I'm KNEELING OUT OF THE SHOTGUN"
