gg, BJ. I haven't had a crazy turnover game like that yet in '09.
You had two freakin' fumbles for a TD and I had one pick-6. I swore my knee was down on that one, but I guess not since the booth didn't review it. I even tried calling a TO to maybe make them review it. :lol
And there were two passes from Eli that I have no idea how they were made. That one pass for a TD was ridiculous -- it went between two of my defenders arms. Anyhow, good game.

Went through 2 defenders arms and Toomer was fully on the ground, I thought it was incomplete lol
To recap
Giants first posession goes well.....then Eli throws a pick to Urlacher who brings it back 80 something yards
Next posession, Eli throws a pick and Bears get a field goal
Then Giants get pinned down at their 6 yard line, hand off to Ward, 88 yard TD run
FUUUUMBLE!!! Giants recover and run it for like 90 yards bak
2 goal line stands for the Giants, must be infuriating for the Bears offense
Miracle pass to Toomer for 6
FUUUUUUUMBLE!!! 20ish yard run for a TD
Yea, it was pretty crazy heh

The Giants can be an angry bunch, especially when Jacobs is running over defenders......or they are falling on their asses in the snow
Ando and I played our game. This league is now no longer fun for me. EA's games are such a piece of shit, we had 2 disconnects on the opening kickoff, I had 2 dirty disc errors, when we finally got the game done it disconnected in the 4th quarter. Now we can't enter any player stats, and I don't remember what the game stats were. This league has lost all its appeal to me. My main ejoyment about this league, since I have a team that blows balls, is seeing my player stats and how they rank with everyone else. I will never win the superbowl, but at least I can be 1st place in some player stats. Now that I can't enter this game it just doesn't seem worth it to continue a league. What's the point? Why even track stats if this happens so frequently? Why not just have a thread where we play each other randomly? Fuck EA. Fuck EA. Fuck EA. I hate them with a passion. Fucking cunts who don't care about the quality of their games, just about making money. Fuck you.

You and I must be the busiest guys in the league, we just can't seem to connect! :lol Will tonight work for you? Are you in the central time zone?
Sorry that you feel that way Daw. I agree, the stats are one of the main reasons I like playing the leagues the way we do.
Slo said:
I have to pick up my son from my in-laws tonight, so I won't be home until around 9, maybe 10 (I am on central time, btw). I know you've said before that was a little too late, since you have to be up so early. I can play Tuesday or Wednesday at 8...if either of those work for you.
Daw, I'm sorry you feel that way. I also agree that the stat tracking makes our leagues far more interesting....and is the biggest (of many) things missing from EA leagues.
Yeah, I want to sign off on the crappy EA servers as well. I have to go through so many steps just to get an online game going.
Earlier in the thread, I posted a problem about getting disconnected from the EA servers when trying to start an online game then not being able to sign back on. Well after contacting EA and sending a million e-mails back and forth, the one solution they gave that worked for me was to set my 360's system clock to 11/15/2005 before launching the game. So I thought to myself, "cool, this probably resets something on EA's end so I only have to do it once." Nope, I have to do it every single freaking time I want to play Madden.
Now here's the kicker: I can't just turn my 360 on, set the clock, then launch Madden. I have to turn my 360 on, launch Madden, wait for it to load, try to start an online game, sit for a minute as it gets stuck checking rosters, feel bad as I watch the other guy pick a team knowing that I'll be disconnected from the server soon, get the error message and get disconnected, sign off Live, go back to the dashboard, change the clock, sign back in to Live, launch Madden, and wait for it to load again before online actually works. So yeah, it takes about 5 minutes just to get a freaking online game going. For the guys who have me on your friends lists, if you see me signing off and signing back on a couple of times, I apologize, but I'm trying to play Madden.
Sorry for the long post, but after seeing daw's post, I just felt like venting as well.

I was on my 3 yard line, whoever I was playing must have sent every player at me on a blitz, I passed it off to Boss on a post route and he had a clear run to the end zone
Srsly, it happened
Anyone need a sub today? I'm gonna be getting off early from work, and even though I have a bunch of other games to play, I still get a daily itch to play Madden. I'll probably be home around 2pm PST so if anyone wants to play anytime after that, let me know.
On another note, I could use a sub for Tennessee for week 7, so if anyone is available whenever week 7 opens, let me know as well.

Cool, that'll work. I'll be getting off at 1:30 my time, then making a quick stop at Best Buy to pick up Fallout 3 and Motorstorm Pacific Rift...I should be home sometime between 2 and 3 pacific, so if you see me on, just send me a message on Live when you're ready to play.BigAT said:
I'll try to be but I can't promise anything. I'm still at work, and I don't know when I'll get outta here (it's fiscal month-end). I'll post again when I get home to see if you're still around.
Also, sorry about last night....I was home all night, but ,as luck would have it, my internet was down until about 11:30.

I don't think I'll be around then, but if you see me online I'll certainly play our game. Otherwise it'll have to be on Friday or later cause I won't be around much tomorrow, poker night.

Wow, my DVD drive just failed on my Xbox. Now the fucktards at MS are saying that the 1 year warranty extends from the time I ORIGINALLY purchased my Xbox. What the fucking hell. Should this not extend from the date that I got my last Xbox back from the RROD? I swear to god, I am going to go fucking POSTAL on these people. Any advice?
