That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
Wellington said:
I'm pretty sure I am win and in due to wins over smokey, luke, and crow. Unfortunately for me I am 0-4 against Levious, and my previous loss to him was without probably half of his defense. No Ray Lewis, no Ed Reed, no Haloti Ngata, no Terrell Suggs. I'm pretty sure he actually rested Ray Rice, Anquan Boldin, and Joe Flacco as well. I would say lock it up, he has a 100% win rate against me.

Oh well, I'll get a good pick.

now you're just trying to rile me up, you weren't fully healthy either... you would have likely won if you hadn't screwed up in the red zone at the end of the first half.

OK. I worked it out as best I could. I primarily work outside in construction so I did it on my notebook and just scanned it when I got to my office. Excuse the bottom of the page, my scanner is dumb. Also, good thing I did it in pencil. :|

This is *IF* all NFL tie breakers apply.

What's amazing is if Nightz and Luke had the same record, Nightz would get in by strength of victory tie breaker.

If I win and Ram loses, I would win the division by the fourth tie breaker (conference record, we split head to head, same division record, and same common games record) and I get the #2 seed because I beat both Luke and Smokey head to head should they win. I can be the #2 seed or be totally out of the playoffs on this week alone.

AFC. :(

Sooo...I will have the best divisional record and could still miss playoffs I.e. raiders from a couple of years ago.

Sweet

Also what will £lite rors do? Will he lay down or will he play. Either way he impacts this final game too. If he lays down and nightz wins shit gets reallll interesting.

WIN AND IN is the motto on our board this week. In leinart we trust.

Even if Rors played with his third stringers he would beat me. :( But I definitely don't want him to lay down. If I do get in, I want to earn it.

Btw Ram has already clinched a playoff spot, however he can fall from #2 to #6 with a loss and a win by me, Luke, and Smokey. He would face off against Smokey in round 1 under that scenario - a terrible match up for him.

Question: How are you livestreaming?
Click to expand...

To answer your question though, I have a Hauppauge HD PVR that takes a component input. This box sits in my entertainement center with my PS3/360 hooked up to it. From there I have a long USB cord that runs out of the entertainment center over to my little office area and into the PC. When PVR is turned on I run a program on my PC that captures the input and displays it. Make it full screen and run a final program that directly broadcasts the image to TwitchTV.

I broadcast in 720p with a 50/10 internet connection. Takes a beefy PC to stream in HD and a fast internet connection to do so with no or minimal lag. The main parts of my PC that allow me to do this successfully is my CPU : I7 2600K and my 16GB of RAM. My CPU puts in work running at 4.5ghz when I'm streaming and all 4 cores and 4 threads are highly utilized.

Before this setup I used to do it with a webcam hooked to my Core 2 Duo laptop with 4GB of RAM. It barely worked and the picture was straight terrible.

Crow lost his first game to Daw, so whatever the fourth tiebreaker is (that EA doesn't even use) is the one that would settle he and I.

And if you didn't include that in the conference record it means that Crow is behind me a game there, too.

Not that EA uses this stuff

I'd be pissed if Madden doesn't use tiebreakers... Because... Like... I spent a solid hour figuring out the tie-breaker scenarios for the NFC over the last two weeks.

I recall last year in 11, FMT beat me head to head but I got the nod in seeding, EA's tiebreakers are always fucked.

Fuck you're right, screwed it up. Conference record is correct, I took it from the EA site. I just fucked up the chiefs thing.

So you'd be tied in common games and it will go to SOV.

You're at 130 points over in your wins, he is at 140 points. He'd get in.

Why has Pheenix surged late? Let's take a look:

1. Drastically improved QB play. Locker isn't elite, but Pheenix doesn't have him making mistakes.

Jake Locker 167/283 59% 2671yards 17 TDs 11 INTs
Locker, under Pheenix control has a lower INT % [3.88] than the following guys:

  • FMT's Kaepernick [4.84]
  • Rors Campbell [4.68]
  • CB's Vick [5.09]
  • Smokey's Schaub [5.20]
  • AT's Eli [5.62]

In fact, without looking at everyone, it looks like Pheenix has the 2nd lowest interception percentage in the league Manning [3.69]

2. His defense gets better on third down?
OPP 3rd Down % - 33.7%

Only one team is better than the Titans D on 3rd down:
logo_23.png



Unsustainable Statistics continued
  • Albatross has 0 fumbles on the offensive side of the football this year.
  • DM's defense generated/gifted by Donny 39 INTs in 14 games
  • Daw has a league low 7 INTs on D this year

Other Random Stats:
Starving for Sacks:
  • Bears 13
  • Browns 16
  • Chiefs 17
  • Ravens 17
  • Bills 17

Feasting on Quarterbacks:
  • Giants 42
  • Raiders 38
  • Niners 38
  • Dolphins 35

Can't be a disappointment without any expectations.

Biggest disappointment, barring a miracle run, is Crow. Needs fantasy players.

Levious and I will play this evening. Probably around 6:30, but may be sooner.

I'm not sure if I could or not - we will have to see.

:( There's only so much I can do with the original Broncos roster. Hopefully I can turn it around next season. My young players should improve and I might be able to pick up some decent free agents.

I'd have to say that the Packers or Cowboys are the biggest disappointment. Expected both of them to at least be in the wildcard race.

Daw, I have a huge favor to ask of you. Hold Mcfadden to as few rushing yards as you can. I need my season to mean something this year. Mikel Leshoure and I would be very grateful

And yet somehow, I'll win the division, again. Meanwhile, you'll be lucky to get into the playoffs against a guy who scored 12 points on me in two games.

Goldlion, I think we've only played once, but it wasn't even a contest, so um, yea. Your division IS terrible, no beating around the bush there, and Bob should have won it easily, maybe he's lost his touch in old age.

You're right. Even tho I switched teams to a much weaker one overall and suffered injuries to the best guys on my team (who arent even that good!) congrats on winning the division by one game over me.

Excuses.

I think in our entire Madden career, you beat me ONE time with the Giants, it's not like me being over you is a new thing.

Let's meet in the playoffs and settle this!

Which is what, a total of four games? You're 3-1 against me. Levious is 4-0, he's not making a big deal.

My original point still stands, no matter how OP your D is, you're such a horrible defender that not even Donny can save the team. You winning the division on the strength of your offense means nothing.

So assuming truth and justice prevails and the tie breakers don't lie, looks like I'll be playing the Bucs in the first round, assuming 6 @ 3.

Gotta update my NFC wild card picture.
