I don't know what you told your guys between the first two quarters but man, your defensive line all of a sudden got amazing.

 

[Matrix]

Congrats Story!

Hey Matrix, things have been slow and steady. They refuse to allow me to trade Turner, so you missed nothing The big story is decent players, playing badly. Bob is ofer. Story, Smokey and I are 2-3 wins :/ Just a weird season.

DCX

Wow this could have been my year then! damn, oh well. That Turner shit is hilarious still.

Since there's so much bitching anyway, I'm bringing back player of the week and "rankings." I'll link them in text form so you have to go out of your way to be offended. If you don't like it, don't click!

Just popping in to say hi and ask how the season is working out? I miss all this shit with you guys, but its better for me not to play anymore

Sup, Matrix!

I meant that I'm in the league for the long haul now.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

It's the time. Lot fewer plays run because there's so little time. One drive usually takes the first quarter. The averages are still ridiculous for all starting backs except 3.

the backs perhaps, but how would the time matter for completion percentages?

headed on to advance now!

People are passing less. It may seem counter intuitive, but that means that can account for higher incompletion percentages. Second, why pass when you can run? Also, some of us, have chosen not to pass anymore since you'll just get accused of cheesing or something.

And lastly, your story is embellished in the passing department.

-Completion percentage is not WAY down. It's just down.
-There weren't multiple over 75%. Only 1.
-Engrish was not over 80%
-The only one that was way above the league standards was English and he was a fantasy QB with a fantasy Center protecting him.
-72.38% completion that Freeman is getting is above the league's #2 guy in season 4 (tristan riley - 71.95%) and above Peyton Manning in season 5 (72.25%)

That said, man coverage is improved and so is pass rush (on all-madden). The percentages are more reasonable. The real difference, though, is the huge dip in HB catches. :lol Only 4 in the top 20 and, of course, one is Forte! Good job, fellas!

 

[McNei1y]

Man coverage is pretty nice compared to Madden 10, IMO. Seems to give me a reason to stick to a 4-3

1. well at least its down! last year there were tons of people hovering over 70%, whether you measured it after week 2 or after week 10.
2. yes, there were multiple qb's over 75%: english and manning. pretty sure there were others but i know for sure there were 2!
3. i said english was over 80% for a good deal of the season, not at years end
4. i didn't call you a cheeser for passing, i said it was annoying playing against 4 wide every single play of the game and you running the ball like 3 times..... which it is!

Captain Kave Man what is your schedule like tomorrow? I should be home all day except for a gym session. If you're going to be up I'll be home around 12:30 - 1 AM late tonight.

Goddamn can someone beat CB3? I'd really rather not get into the muddled NFC wildcard race. Thanks pals.

I was close to it earlier in the season but he made a pretty surprising comeback in the last minute! Damn, me and not wasting the clock!

Were you the guy that scored instead of kneeling? I'm pretty sure that the games between CB and I over the last few seasons have always come down to the last possession with him having the ball, an scoring. :| It only got worse 'cause of Vick, have to protect speedy WRs and the potential to run.

If tiebreakers are indeed fixed, thankfully I've only lost out of conference games.

Yeah, there was like a 1:20 left. I was within my own 10 so I was planning on running the ball. I did a quick pitch and broke a 90 yard touchdown. I scored instead of diving. Would've been game. : \

Aw well!

 

[Miguel]

I think Wells isn't going to be able to play his game tonight on account of not being able to stop crying after Eli curls up into the fetal position midway through the first quarter.

Tomorrow being Monday? If so we are on Thanksgiving up here in Canada so I have a day off tomorrow. I can go anytime before 5pm but all the kids should be gone from the house by 12:30 as well so I'm good for a late game tomorrow too if need be.

1. Nope.
2. Nope. Only 1 in season 4 and 5. And 5 was the most pass happy season of the entire league.
3. Fair enough, but I had the week 8 stats and it shows him at 76%. I don't know what "a good deal" is in terms of number of games.
4. I wasn't talking about you. That was a scrim. In a scrim, I might throw it 100 times vs fucking Willis and that overrated DL.

Matrix left AP and Mile's Austin on the bench. And perhaps Matty Ice will have a better game than Schaub.

 

[Birdman02]

GG GCQ. Your o-line dominated my front 7. A few costly turnovers really hurt my cause.

GG, man. My offensive line and defense stepped up bigtime, but even with that it basically came down to two big plays (DeAngelo's big run before the half and J-Stew's kickoff return). Definitely a battle the whole time.

[DMczaf]

I have 4 fumbles lost all season total, then I play you and I get 1 in the redzone after picking up a first down, and then another when i ate the ball because i was trying to avoid the INT so instead I end up with a fumble TD return.

Turn off fumbles! There's an epidemic!

Oh wait, I gotta threaten to quit to get my looney requests answered.

I QUIT! TURN THEM OFF OR ELSE!

 

[Rorschach]

I think I still lead the league in fumbles lost.

 

[Miguel]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Rorschach]

I started Eli and I picked the giants in the pick'em leagues. Texans are frauds.

Denogg, when can you lose to me?

Yea by mistake What a fucking awful day for me football wise.

Thanks for being a huge jinx Mig!

Gore fumble... but that never happens in madden! He would have broken 10 tackles and scored.

 

[AkaBalla]

Why did Lonestar just go for it 4th and 4 down by 3 points in the beginning of the 3rd quarter at his 34 yard line? And to no boot it was a no huddle.. He made the conversation..

I'm allset with this :lol

Isn't this guy a vet?

LOL, are you typing with your phone? This post is nearly incomprehensible...

 

[CB3]

But he made the conversation!

 

[AkaBalla]

:lol

Boy that was bad...

Anyways figure it out...

Ahh never mind, I'll type it out again..

Lonestar went for it on 4th and 4 at his own 34 yard line. He was down 3 points and there was 6 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. He converted the play with the no huddle on 4th and 4.

Better guys!

 

[Rorschach]

LOL, are you typing with your phone? This post is nearly incomprehensible...

When can you play?

 

[Lonestar]

He can play the CPU if he wants. San can have the Patriots if he wants. Just not feeling this game anymore.

Probably tomorrow after work if that's cool with you.

That's on you if you feel that way about 1 play. There's no malicious attempt towards you, I just made what I felt as a judgement call, as the 3rd down play I felt I should have gotten the first and didn't perform well on it.

Anywho

Its clearly stated in the rules, what i was preparing for was a punt.. Why should i burn a TO in the 2nd half for a dumb play call that is against the rules.

Who cares how u feel about your execution, you didn't execute so punt the ball. It was only a 3 point game 17-14.. Not like it was a ugly game or anything and we couldn't score.

 

[Lonestar]

And it's why I backed out of the league. I remember the rules, and if I can't get myself to follow them, then I'm wasting my time and other people's time, because I've pretty much gone into "don't care" territory.
