OK....I must officially suck, or my players just don't like the endzone.

Rors and I just played our game and I was +4 on turnovers and still somehow managed to lose. Dwayne Bowe can catch the ball very well, but apparently is not near fast enough to outrun anyone!! TWICE he had the ball with a clear path to the endzone and didn't make it because some Raider fuck caught up to him from behind!!!!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK

Anyways, enough of my bitching, good game Rors.:lol
GG.

Washington's speed finally pays off even though his dumbass AND Schweigert fell asleep on that play. And you think that's bad how would you feel if that thing that happened to me with Curry happened to you. :p

I hit Curry and he runs out all the way to the 2 yard line when someone catches up to him and makes him fumble without a hit stick as I'm holding RB and running outside. Then, the ball just sits there (with the tip clearly out of bounds) and some KC player jumps on it out of nowhere (out of bounds as well) and it's called a FR.

Not to mention all the other shit that went on...the game started on a fumble from my KRer after I wasn't able to kneel (I was holding RB then too...). It was that kind of game. Every time I would get to the redzone, it would make me turn the ball over. 4 fumbles (6 overall) and 2 bs ints...you were +5, btw. Whenever I play the Chiefs, it's a bunch of retarded happenings. :'(

There was definitely some questionable bullshit in that game. But, at least there was no lag!!

Hah. Yeah, there were only a couple of spikes and some menu lag, but it was lag free for the most part. Lag free bs > lag filled bs!

You've been having some bad luck with turnovers so far this season!

I don't think I'm going to be throwing 5 INT's :p

But you did throw 3. Broncos >>> Browns.

Birdman just beat the shit out of me with the Dolphins. I could write a longer summary but it would just be that sentence repeated over and over. Sometimes this game just seems to conspire against you.

GG Bird. You deserved it. And I'm sure you're probably leading the league in sacks now. :lol

And Ian Gold kept getting chumped by Vince Young, but I bet he's still a brick wall.

None in the first game and the second game wasn't about "luck."

I think DJ Williams is actually my brick wall.

Thanks man, GG. You definitely got all the bad breaks...starting with the fumble on the return of the interception I threw on my first passing play. Also, I was amazed by Will Allen's one-handed interception in the end zone!

I'll take a win any way I can...even if it means Madden has to be totally against my opponent.

btw- is it just me or did we just get yet another update? Had to DL a roster update and it switched a few starters...

Yeah, this update made it easier to PA rollout 25x per game.

Seneca future.

Hey Luke, not sure if you're available tonight. I think my odds of being home at/before midnight are pretty good, although I'm afraid I might need to waste precious time scraping off my car. Stupid weather.

If today is the 20th, and the advancement day to week 3 is yesterday, can the games that have been finished input the final scores yet?

FMT screwed up the date. Tuesday is the 20th, but he said it was the 19th. Today ist the advancement date. But yeah, go ahead and input them.

I think I will be available around the same time, I'll im you when I get home.

Well, I have to leave around 4 to go visit a friend that I haven't seen in a while and I probably won't be back until after the MSU/UCLA game tonight (which starts at 10)...

Oh sorry, I read that completely wrong, thought you meant you'd be available around 4. I'm at work till 3, then I have a doctors appointment so I won't be home till right around 3:30-4. Guess we won't be doing it today then. Not sure when we'll get it in then, maybe sunday night at some point? No idea.

Hey Luke, I'm heading out in a few, but I'm going to be back by 5:30 PT, and I'm free until at least 7:30.... I'm also available later in the night... I'm guessing around 10(?)... if you're around at all tonight and we can work with these times, let me know.

Leave a note here when you get back, we can get it over with then!

You've only played one game, Luke. Talk to me when you really stink. Talk to me when you put up 14 yards of offense! Talk to me then! .......Talk to me then!!!

GG Luke, the Eeyore act works!

I missed out on a couple of breaks... including the infamous "there's no way he had possession" fumble while in scoring position and at least one sure-looking pick, but we all get those... all in all it was a good gameplan on your end, and I probably deserve this record after the rabbit I pulled out of the hat last week. There are a couple of things I would've done differently if I had it to do again, but I think it was a pretty even game.

EDIT: It looked like you brought a fair bit of heat... fair assessment? Pass protection is better than I'm used to with the Rams..

Yeah, I brought a lot of pressure, smoke 'em if you got 'em. JPete goes to waste in coverage.

GG I felt bad after that bullshit fumble on the inside of the two minute warning.
 
new awards/rankings are up!

also, we need someone to fill in for the steelers (at least for a few weeks, possibly longer) because bluemax's 360 died. anyone have ideas?

I'll be using them for at least one game. On paper they're the perfect team for me.. Great D and great running game, but they can actually pass somewhat. The only thing that kept me from picking them is the fact that they're Ravens rivals, but since I turned my back on the Ravens I can't feel guilty filling in for them.

Enjoy the rankings. I know I did. Konex @ #1! This season is breaking all the rules.

AirBrian: when's a good time for our game? I'm available on and off all week. Thursday night I've got an event to attend, but other than that, I think the schedule is pretty flexible...

dm: not sure what your availability is like, but if you're not available relatively late at night, maybe we can get our game out of the way a little early... say Saturday?

Damn, my bad luck/play continues. Another RB fumble, and an INT thrown at the worst possible time.

About the INT..I had 3 WR against a regular defensive set. I saw a LB in a zone, I knew exactly what it was...but my throw was low enough for him to jump and catch. I swear that would have been a TD in reality.

Yet again my running game was shit. It might as well have been the Jags. I'm not going to blame myself too much, because FMT has always had that unnatural run D against me. Seriously..whenever I play Matrix (he's the Texans) I can run all day, but FMT's Texans got Jags-quality pushes. Ugh..there are a bunch of reasons I lost. Ultimately the conservative sure thing of FMT's game won out.
 

Matrix

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
"Seriously..whenever I play Matrix (he's the Texans) I can run all day"

Way to make me feel like shit :p
