Haha he got all of his yards on two plays. The heave over the middle where he was left alone and that route to the right.

Barber tried to show off with that one handed catch in the flats. :p

You shut Barber down so hard in that game I resorted to Felix on a couple of plays :lol

GG Wellington. The INT bug got me. I was using Actoin cam and probably if I used Classic I wouldnt have thrown the INTs. That fumble pretty much killed my will, along with that freaking facemask call on 3rd and long.

But I felt like I was not getting embarrased or anything.
 
"Reports indicate that Shawnwhann has informally reached out to GAF League management to inquire whether his return would be welcome. Citing his desire to indeed only play in two leagues, rumors have it the decision on the second league will have to be weighed between NCAA and NBA2K. Playing random dochebags with no sense of civility and decorum have indeed weighed on Shawnwhann's decision to rethink his sudden and unexpected retirement at the top of his game. More news after the jump..."
 
you are always welcomed in the league shawn, you know that buddy!

p.s. i am working on getting some others in or back into the league. as long as we can get 28 people its easy for me to do the schedule and so on!

Cool, there is a chance I may jump off the NCAA train but not before I complete this first season at least!

Ya that was my first game doing 4-3 and I like it much better...thanks to ck for the suggestion. Ya I was afraid it was going back to you when that flag went up...and there was lag =(

edit: note to any other raiders players...McFadden is one hell of a receiver :lol
That was woodchuck that suggested 4-3. I don't agree with it because you have the personnel for a 3-4. Whatever works tho.

You didn't get embarrassed, and outside of those lucky breaks I got, I thought you outplayed me. I never thought that a facemask penalty could nullify a fumble, I am pretty sure that was wrong. Jon Beason was just unconcious, dude was everywhere.

One thing that I am happy about is that my play with Tuck is getting better. It's less about it being a change from Strahan, and more about the mechanics of DL play being a little different this year. I'm getting better at going sideline to sideline against the run, and I'm doing better against the pass. My only issue now is when I drop into coverage.

Ah my bad on the name. I ended up playing some more online with the 3-4 and 4-3 and ended up not really noticing too much of a difference in the long run so I think you're right and I'll probably just stick to the 3-4 whenever I use Dallas.

Soo...looks like we have 13 AFC teams, 10 NFC teams, and MiG (RIP). Does that mean 2 conferences and 4 divisions with 3 teams each or 2 conferences with 3 divisions and 4 teams each?

Funny, we have the entire AFC North and South and the entire NFC East and West.

[edit] Almost the entire North...wait a minute...forgot to count Shawnhann because he wasn't on the list...1 odd man out! 25 teams, then... 11 NFC.

wasabi is on board, 3 more to go to reach the magical 28!

p.s. and when we do reach 28, the league reverts back to the OLD NFL! thats right, pre-2002!
Does that mean the Seachicks are back in my conference (and division)? Come back, Lone!

Also, you have to give back Gruden, DM.
 
it sure does. it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure does!

hopefully we can get lone and shawn to participate. then its a question of getting 1 final person!

All this NCAA playing has messed with my Madden Mojo. I hope I can get a few more scrims in this weekend before the season officially starts.

I will be around tonight.

I am getting better at this game. Defensively I am improving all the time for a couple of reasons. Offensively I have issues, mostly with the fact that my own playbook isn't broad enough just yet. Everyday I try to go into practice mode and get down one or two plays. For the last couple of years I used about 50 plays on O, now I am down to say 20-25, which kinda sucks. I have no third and long plays, so stop me on the first two downs and I am done. :lol
 
i planned on having the league up tonight but the league daddy site owner needs to "reset" my fee base. it was at like $120 cause of the "back fees" owed. this happens every year and it takes him about a day to reset. hopefully he resets it tonight, but we are on schedule for tomorrow.

i'm going to assume we'll get 28 and do the league that way. so if you guys know anyone, or anyone on the board wants to join, speak up!

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
I vote no,I'm not typing in stats for games that don't count.

Most of us know how this works,so lets get the regular season going.
 
Yes to preseason...I won't play though because I'm going to Vegas to celebrate Labor Day through next Tuesday. Fuck a BBQ, I'll take smoke filled casinos and cheap headache inducing margaritas instead!

Yeah, good game. Lynch was a monster, Bengals tackle like...the Bengals.

Ya I'm screwed against any team that has a nice power back...though I do need to get Chris Henry on my team to help out somewhat on offense thats for sure.
 
#26 is on board!

now we just need 27 and 28. shawn? anyone else?
