Yeah, unless I do poor enough this year to draft the Colts this will probably be my last season of 08. Definitely will be back for 09. Without Peyton, nothing feels good!

Yeah, I'm done with 08 after this season. It's just not the same without my Vikes. I haven't even bothered to learn my roster out side of Reggie and #12, whatever his name is.

Plus I haven't played another game since August and I hear that there's been some decent games released.

Colston.

Yea I don't think I'll be doing another season either. Its not cause I don't like my team just not sure I want to do another one.

Hey Wellington, sorry I wasn't around last night for our game. Since the Colts game turned into a blowout, my guests demanded that Rock Band be started. 4 hours later and it's 1AM. I'm about to fall asleep at my work computer. :/

Anyway, I should be free tonight to play if you are.

360 is back so I can play whenever you're ready Wellie.

Ando's 360 is out of commission correct? Luke put a curse on it. :lol

to celebrate your 360 being fixed we should scrimmage sometime.

Sure thing, I just played a game using Trent Edwards, I sucked major ass. I'll be available later in the evening if you're free.

Thanks for the info Jube.
 
I'm back from Puerto Rico on Wednesday, and I should be able to get some games in on Wednesday night. Sorry for being behind, but the update really killed me b/c I planned to play both True and Ramirez that night.

Also, if Ram really quit, so is the replacement? I will have to get my games in either Wednesday or possibly Thursday night, and then I'm out again for three nights before coming back home for most of the week of the 17th.

Just send me a PM on GAF if you need me!

Dropping like flies! I think I'm going to trade in the game after this season... get some value out of the game while I can and get back for '09...

That said, I think I might be headed for my first sub-.500 year... it'll suck to go out on that note, but at the same time, maybe it'll lower my ambitions for next year.

How come I get included in that statement, I didn't complain about my team I just said I probably won't do a season 3. If theres a good response for a third season I'd play, it just sounds like there won't be. I love my new team. If I could just trade for portis I'd be all set.

An overrated team! 28th ranked Defense, but you can't throw against them! And the Rex in the game isn't the one playing!

Malley took them before I picked....

But even if I had my Vikes, my interest would still probably be dropping. Playing with a team that I don't have an emotional attachment to just highlights how much time I invest and how stressed out I get by losing.

I want to play some Orange Box, damnit! Stop telling me that I can't! You're not my real dad!

GG DM, I know you like that opening run. Portis turned into barry sanders for that run didnt he lol. You played really well. Portis went from Sanders to Tiki Barker in a new york minute :( 4 fumbles hurt.

EDIT: Shit I think my game froze at the stats page

Ugh, the camera is just endlessly panning around the stadium for me.

You don't know how mad I was after that Portis opening run :lol I think I thought I had him down 3 seperate times and everytime he just popped out of the man pile.

Do you remember any stats? I wanna say portis had like 150 rushing. What do we do now? lol I put in the score.

Off the top of my head
Portis 150 yards, 4 fumbles,1 TD 15ish btk maybe? long 80 yd
Campbell 2 Interceptions?

E. James 80-100 yards,

Well that sucked. I knew something was wrong when we were able to complete an entire game finally. They had to get us at the end!

All I remember from my stats are the announcer saying James went over 100 yards and I threw 3 TDs (and 1 INT :( ) with Dirt Warner.

And Portis must have had 20 broken tackles!
 
dont worry fellas. rankings and so on are coming, ive just been really busy. after tonight (tool concert yesssss!) i'll be back to my normal schedule of not doing much :lol

PLAY YOUR WEEK 7 GAMES OR THE WEEK 7 POTW WILL BE HALF A MARS BAR!!

Official advancing of the week was held off to give people more time. Let's do it!

New York Jets (Wellington) at San Diego Chargers (Truelize)
Detroit Lions (Cloudy) at Baltimore Ravens (TJ Denogginizer)
Carolina Panthers (Shawnwhann) at Seattle Seahawks (lukems)*
Buffalo Bills (malleymal) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Andokuky)
Pittsburgh Steelers (bluemax) at Cleveland Browns (LonestarGA)
Tennessee Titans (Mrbob2k6) at St. Louis Rams (SickBoy)

That's not including broken xbox and dammitmatt who's out of town. Asterisk by Shawn because he's probably trying to devise an escape plan from his new prison.

Hey Raiders fan you must not have been paying attention in this thread. Must come from the head coach! :D
I'm not paying that much attention lately. :( I'm tired of seeing

<playerA> "Hey, player B I can play tonight past 5pm. Contact me on aim or xbl"

Followed by

<Player B> "Where the fuck is player A? I want to play our game. :("

and

<player c> "Do I play anyone this week?"

Then, if I step in and tell player B that player A posted above and let player C know that he plays player D, I sound like a douchebag apparently.

I need someone to assign me the Bills in order to enter stats.

Yeah Wellie, I got a lot of breaks. Poz had ESP. My entire secondary did. Revis missing those swats hurt as well. Can't lie, the ball bounced my way all game.

Done, sorry I missed you getting back earlier. You must be happy with the epic fill-in performance by Malley as the Bills. 5-0!

Birdman and DM, I should be able to play in the next day or two. I'll try to rent the game tomorrow and then we can play either late tomorrow night or Tuesday. I'll let you guys know...

How late tonight? I'll be on for a little bit longer. I can go tomorrow anytime after 8pm central (which would probably be better for me).

Thanks, and yeah I'm pretty happy about Malley's performace.
 
Birdman, I decided not to rent the game tonight because I just got out of work and I still have to study for an exam tomorrow... I should have it tomorrow though.

Madden Gods paid me back for that last game with Wellie. Two fumbles on my first 3 drives, both came over the 50 yard line, and one was returned a long way. I clawed my way back over his 30 on the next drive and threw a pick on 3rd and long when I should have eaten the ball and gone for the easy 3.

Clawed my way back to 14-6 in the 3rd, and hit Evans with a deep pass to bring it within 2 early in the 4th. Converted 2pts on a miracle run by Marshawn, and tied up the game. Stopped him on 3rd and 2 with ~4min remaing, I asked Madden what to do (by accident) and he wanted me to run goal line. Silly Madden, it says he's punting so lets return it shall we. Only it turned it wasn't really a punt, but a fake. He ran for it and it paid off big time

Drove into my redzone, I blitzed all out, and the Cadillac found his way into the endzone. No worries I have 2 minutes remain. Hit a few plays to Price, a couple to Marshawn, and he came out with some soft pass coverage (at least I thought it was soft). Lets try the deep ball to Lee. Oh good, he's got seperation (Barber's old). The ball is in his hands, *Madden Sound* doooomp, oh wait he drops it on the one. :lol

I managed to get the ball over his 40 but it didn't matter, my entire O was drained/red, and he was able to hold it down. Good game Ando it was fun.

And you can cover Evans easily, just put a safety over him. I've seen it done time and time again. :D

SickBoy has not pulled out of the league, Jube... just pretty damn busy. Posted my general schedule on the last page (I think) in response to MrBob... I'd repost, but I'm almost out the door here.... the one difference to my schedule is I'm not available tomorrow afternoon.

MrBob, how's 10 a.m. PT for you on Thursday? I'll set an alarm :)
 

Mrbob

Tentatively this will work. My plans on Thursday may be changing though so I might not be able to play now this day. :(

As a backup, how is friday looking for you? I can play around 2 or 3 PM central time on Friday as well.
 

Wellington

BAAAALLLINNN'
Chad Pennington: 20/31, 225 Yards, 2 TDs, 6 Ints.

He's really bad. Take away the ints and it's 20/26, so I must be doing something right, I suppose.

gg Wellington. The fact that Pennington sucked THAT bad and still you nearly managed to win is a testament to your skill at Madden.
 
The saga continues...

So the copy of the game I rented had a bunch of scratches on it and I couldn't start a game. It loaded up and went to the main menu, but anytime I went to start a game it would freeze.

I just took it back to the store and (go figure) they had no other copies available, so now I'm stuck with Virtua Fighter 5 until Sunday.

This game hates me.
