My SS, Jermaine Philips.

It sucks that Greatness Score doesn't reward defensive plays as much. That was a huge 3rd and 1 stop, and it got me a 37 :lol

Yeah I say ban the qb sneak. It is damn cheese in this game. I've stacked a 46 defense up against the qb sneak, all out blitz up the middle and the qb still gets 4 to 5 yards.

That poll sucks.

I don't want FB dive banned, just QB sneak! I've seen FB dive stopped.

But that's fine. I have seen cases of FB dive being too easy too. FB dive is pretty damn cheesy in Madden on short yardage anyway. Too easy to rip off 3 to 4 yards.

I was stopped 3 times on fb dive by the friggin' Rams. :lol

I also stopped it today when playing against the Pack and the Texans. QB sneak is cheese though. I used it a few times, but decided it was too cheesy and haven't used it since then.

The new Textbook.

So I was playing MiG and Stanford Routt had just picked off his second interception. Shaub decides 2 is enough:

He was out for the game after that.

I was unable to score with it against the Dolphins. Banning QB sneak or FB dive is stupid. I have been stuffed on both and have had some success as well. If it is short yardage and you are on D, try putting in your Jumbo goalline defense and take the gamble they won't audible out of it. That is football.

If Fantasysportsguy's GAF account isn't approved today (or even if it is) FMT, could you ask him to update his contact info on the LD site? I currently have no way to reach him, and I'd like to play today.

That is well and fine if you are inside the 10, but there is no way i'm pulling out a goal line package at the 45 yard line on 4th and 1 to attempt to stop a qb sneak. I'm not really against the FB dive as much as I am with the qb sneak as I have never stopped a qb sneak on any short yard play.

I have been burned on qb sneak on goal line formations too. Not 1 yard gains either which they should be. I get ripped for 4 to 5 yard gains, which is ridiculous.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Ok,so I guess it's Tuesday night if you can.

Fmt, how long do we have to complete this first week?
 
at least until next friday. i want to make sure everyone knows the league is started and has a chance to play. a lot of people aren't around this weekend, so for this week lets wait until we get everyone settled.

following weeks will have definite advancement dates!

Why ban FB dive along with QB sneak? I've stuffed and been stuffed with FB dive plenty of times.

WTF, I didn't notice FB Dive was in the poll too. I thought it was just for QB Sneak

Keep FB Dive, get rid of QB Sneak!

I'm all for banning QB sneak,don't ban FB dive!

i threw 7 picks to dm in our failed game. looking back on it i made some absolutely bone headed throws. a couple my guy ran the wrong route, and one was a superhuman LB pick.

picks usually happen when you lock onto one guy and don't go through your reads, but that's not always why they happen.

plus dcx is playing with the worst team in the game. how far they have fallen from being a powerhouse as the atlanta vicks!

You aint kidding...if i went more than 4 it would be a miracle and i just lost one that was winnable :/

DCX
 
well, you handled me pretty easily in that game we played...

p.s. as long as wellie beats miguel, im all alone in first already. althought i feel bad for taking the win against dm :(

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
not that I ever plan on having a goaline situation (all my TD's will be from 80 yards out), but no QB Sneak on the goalline?

QB Sneak is pretty much a guaranteed 2-3 yards. At least with FB Dive, theres a chance of stopping it if you setup your defense correctly.

Yeah it sucks, but if something is successful 99.9999% of the time, what can you do?!
 
i would have done the same thing! stats are the most important thing in the league, otherwise we may just keep wins-losses here!

you just say the word and we'll play a 3rd game and count it as the league game ;)

I'll take my loss with pride! I don't need your pity!

....but if I'm a game out of the playoffs or division title, you better get ready for Game 3!!

if you look down the sideline my WR has like 3 yards on the QB. alex was about to unleash the dragon!
I was gonna say...it's probably better that he got sacked. No way Alex could have made that throw. ;b

[edit] Holy shit at your offense, MiG.


It's offensive!

CK's List of Complaints

-Passing game is overrated.

-Running game is broken.

-Defense is overrated.

BAAAALLLINNN'
You guys seriously expected me to pass with Carr? He's in Mig's pocket.

Eli got hurt on a handoff btw. If it's in the game it's in the game!

You only say that cause he beat you!

I'm only messing around,he almost beat me with a miracle comeback.

I just want to get this week over with so i can move on from the debacle against Konex. It may seem weird wanting to face Wellie, but i need to play someone like him to judge my season against, 9 shit ints and glitches don't do well for my mental status.
