Gold, your team in Yahoo Fantasy...Bad luck on having Pittsburg D starting, with the Giants current 28 points on the bench.

Though, you've probably forgotten about that league, with a Kicker on Bye

nah, i'm just apathetic. I never imagined the giants D to run wild like this. But i should have known that pass rush would get to J-Pout. And i did a shitty job drafting. Having Marion Barber on a bye hurts, and Donald Brown was out. Just a rough week i suppose

Had just sat down to play some DR2. Maybe later, but I'd rather tomorrow or tuesday.

Alrighty, but just to let you know, earliest I can play on weekdays is around 7 PST. Also 8-9 pm on Mondays is off limits because of Chuck.

P.S. We should co-op DR2 sometime!

Moar fumbles for McFadden! On the plus side, I can actually run the ball again! picking up a young FB in FA was the best thing I could have done. :D

GG. The speed advantage that you have with WRs and CBs really made the difference. My CBs just can't keep up. I really need to draft a 95+ speed CB during this years draft.

Schilens had all the catches and he's slower than Bailey. :p Miller's not too fast either. The difference was the ability to run. Royal 94 spd, Thomas 96 spd. ;)

What you need is another speedy rookie TE. :B

Besides Royal and Thomas I don't have speed. And Asomugha shut down Royal and Routt has the speed to cover anyone. All of your WRs and CBs have 90+ speed. It hard to get separation on offense and even harder to play man on defense.

And I already got my speed TE in Dickson. It's just going to take more time to strengthen the rest of my roster.

GG Somnia. I head into the bye with no injuries, and no disconnects against anyone!

This game for Bradshaw:

6 carries, 111 yards.

Last game:

5 carries, 97 yards.

Golf ham.

Eh. I didn't even have a great day passing. 2 INTs to boot. They were doing fine in coverage. And, like I said, the guy getting the grabs and TDs was being covered by Bailey who was faster than Schilens.

And on defense, it was the covering of drags/slants/posts that did it. When people see that those are off the table, they panic.

Bailey got beat on the slant because he decided to do a spin before covering Schilens. :( Most of the routes were covered because I feel that in madden speed is the most important stat, at least for dbs. Losing Alphonso Smith hurt me since he would've been a much better nickle back. My current NB gets beat after a couple of yards.

...but I didn't really get anything off the nickel. It was all on Bailey and your safety covering Miller (6 of 10 receptions). The Higgins catch was that hail mary at the end of the first half that resulted in nothing. And it wasn't man coverage. There was only 1 real slot catch and that was the dhb catch. Your guys were doing ok covering and got two interceptions. :lol That tripled my INT total for the year! The problem came in stopping the run. You guys make up your mind before you look at the facts/stats and just decide that a certain aspect killed you when it didn't. :p

I think you did an ok job in stopping the pass, but calling so much pass defense cost you run support. And my new FB was killing it!

A real problem here is that there's no time to run that many plays or catch up if you're in a bit of a deficit. IMO, the clock should be upped a minute or two per quarter. The total number of plays run seems rather small.

You hold down the left trigger to allow you to switch the teams in player management. From there select free agents and just sign the player.

Segway. Where are we with the drwft? We gotta keep this koving.

My question exactly.

Oh well I am going into the bye anyway. Gives me a much needed two weeks of prep time for someone I've never played before (Kave Man). Ez, Sanjuro, and damn near anyone I've played this year for the first time have all stomped me pretty good.

Nope.

2. St. Louis Rams (DJ Demon J) 5 Wins 1 Loss Division 2-0 Conference 4-0



The National Football League said:
TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

#1 is a tie, so #2 should be used, and Rams should be listed in 1st. But look at Mr. Alphabet, what does he say?

SA versus ST

Well that about wraps it up folks! Move along, nothing to see here! :lol

2-0 is better than 1-0. That's why if you look at NFL.com standings, the Redskins are listed as #1 in the NFC East, even though they, the Eagles and the Giants are all 2-2.

Who's to say that the game isn't going by the book with PERCENTAGES, 2-0 vs 1-0 is the same percentage. If it's not right at the end of the year, then you can bitch! :D

You're basing it on the website? Mistake #1.

Also, tie breakers last year were based on team name, not city. This year, three way tie breakers are decided through some random formula. It's not even team name. :\

You're #1 in the console standings. These are the real standings. The website standings are sorted automatically by the first column in the table (which happens to be team name). You can sort them through each individual column, but that doesn't really fix anything.

Three way ties that aren't in the division are fucked. I don't know about division 3 ways, but wildcard three ways are.

[edit] I mean 3 or more teams, not just 3 way ties.
