GG CB. My defense decided to force a few fumbles today, main difference in this one.

David Hawthorne early running for DPOTW? 9 tackles, 2 sacks and an INT.
 
Cool, Larry Fitzgerald catches anything within his reach. Double coverage? ok. Perfect coverage? alright. One of my receivers is open? Just kidding, his DBs were just trolling. They can make up the ground. Megatron has a shot at the ball? nah, we in Arizona, can't show up Fitzgerald. Kolb throws a turd right into coverage? Sails through my defender to Fitz for a TD. Get a heavy pass rush and tip the ball at the line for an easy pick? Yea right, thats a free 9 yards for whichever Arizona receiver is within 10 yards. In trouble and no one is open, press the Fitz button! Make a user pick and get a chance to score before half? Psh, Jahvid Best fumbles. Finally get a stop on defense? first play is a 20 yard run called back for holding. Get a hole and rumble through it? Nope, get caught by a defender who is at least 2 player lengths away and being blocked. Patrick Peterson is also a better route runner than CJ. It is really impressive.

Fuck this game. I've never been so bitter after a loss. Not Splats fault in any way and I'm not mad at him, I want that to be known. He can't help how fucking stupid this game is. I guess when things arn't going your way, the game laughs and sticks that tip up deeper

Fitz is such a boss in the game. Why I fought for Splat to keep him! Fitz made a crazy spectacular catch against me at the 1 yard line in double coverage. Nothing you can do!

Can you save the trap game for me? I need another upset win!

Max Unger has sworn vengeance against your team. I cannot deny his hunger for revengeance!

GG gold, the game apparently really hated you tonight :-/

Fitzgerald report:
Offense: 5 for 157, 3 tds
Defense: 2 sack, 4 TFL

The TD to Fitz was supposed to be a comeback. When I threw the ball and Fitz didn't turn around, I thought for SURE it was picked, and it was a TD. Fitz was pulling some Tebow magic that game, even on defense. There's no way I outplayed you by the amount the score shows, Madden just screwed you big time. I can't argue any of your complains, literally everything went my way.

Midterms coming at the worst possible time. I just want to play DOTA but I probably won't have enough time to really get into it. At least I have my hero for now, the Drow Ranger. As soon as I buy the power treads and hyperstone I'm good to go.

Also, if anyone is still looking for a steam mobile invite let me know.

haha I was so scared that would end up being a Texans moment where my guy knocks it down and lands in your WR's hands for a game changing TD.

hey, fuck off

I do wonder how much the game shifts rolls and shit for the home team. Basically everyone in the league is doing better at home than away.

Don't buy Hyperstone on Drow. I know you think she attacks slow (and she does, but man the fuck up and learn her attack animation or go play support like new players should anyway [http://www.playdota.com/guides/the-warding-basics]), but go Wand Double Wraith, Treads, Shadow Blade, Yasha and if the other team has a lot of stuns/disables you need to farm up BKB. If after Shadow Blade you're still having trouble staying alive - the other team should be ganking the shit out of you constantly, you have no escapes and are super squish, you should get something with lifesteal on top of Shadow Blade and then BKB and then high damage right click items.

By the time you have Double Wraith, and the level 2 of your Alt (lvl 11) up and Treads your attack speed will be fine and you should easily be able to farm your jungle and ancients. If you keep up with everyone in levels by the 30 minute mark you should have the most right click power on the map.

Drow is a hard carry, which really, new players shouldn't play, the hyperstone build won't last once you get out of the Training Bra MMR.

I like that this thread is pretty much the best Dota thread. Until we start playing on the same team as each other. That will be way worse than playing against each other.

Who has the Rams? And why is that information not in the OT?

I'm on a bit of a road trip today and don't expect to get home before 10:30 (est). If you want to play around 11 I can probably do that. If not it'll have to wait til tomorrow.

Next advance is Thursday. I play Trasher. I'm gone Friday-Monday so I may miss two advances.

Trasher are you available late Thursday night after the advance?

If I can't play my games I nominate CB3 as my replacement. My game after Trasher is BigAT anyway.

And it all goes away when you stop giving Sony 10 bucks a month :(

Or when Ps4 doesn't support any of it. Whichever comes first

It's free! (other than the fact that you have to pay for it)

Far Cry 2 is regularly like $5 in every steam sale. It's still one of the best games of this generation. Well worth "free." lol, I guess my Old Republic subscription is also free?

Not me. I've almost always had a better away record than a home record. Just like real FedEx Field! <3









Fuck FedEx Field!

You have to watch that Griffin dunk in real time to fully grasp the baptism that Perkins received. That angle doesn't do it justice.

Yeah, watching it live was a thing of beauty.

Paul and Griffin give me the kind of basketball tinglies that the Glove and Reign Man did.

GG AT. Stopped my offense cold and I had no answers.

EA was penalty happy on pretty crucial drives, no idea what was going on. On a 3rd & 22, AT hits his WR for what would've been a 16-17 yard gain or so, but my DB is called for facemask, instant first. Another instance is in the middle of the 4th while driving, it's 4th & 7, I go for it and I hit Greg Little on a 8-yard play but it's called back because my TE did a block in the back (or clipping?). I am not blaming AT or anyone who accepts these, but fuck, EA, what the crap.

To worsen matters, my rookie CB Ricardo Bush is out 3 weeks. Ugh.
