Do me a faovr, knock him off of his win streak so that he has no momentum coming into my match up with him.
FMT: Are you still going to switch Ram out of my schedule for MrBob, as we have previously discussed? I would rather not have to take apart my home network just for a game of Madden. And as a bonus, MrBob owns me in Madden, so it's win win.
Edit: Nevermind!
As it stands, I have a real good chance of losing my next five games. Andokuky just beat Fifty and has a really good team, Fifty has an incredible D, Azyuma also has a tough D despite the ratings of his team, Bob owns me, and then a game with DM. My prediction? I finish the season out 11-5.
Fifty said:52-3? Ouch.....Poor Saints
America's team ruined my Sunday, fuck em!
*No offense to King V, and not related to our game, that just got out of hand, I promise I didn't try to run up the score, although it did feel good just cause it was the saints lol*
New Poll! Should we force DJ to take a 50 point loss under penalty of FORFRONTATION.
HG: Bama's going to be on TV in the next 1 1/2 hours, so I'll be tied up till 5 or so, and I might end up doing something right afterwards. Wanna plan for 8-11 PM EST or so?

We should also vote on jet packing, and manual blitzing DEs and LBs. Why stop with the spread?
Wellington said:9-0!
I've never played Andokuky before, but I am up to the challenge!
Edit: :lol! Adding truelize's record dropped me all the way down to second to last in opponent record.
Wow that doesn't say much about the strength of your schedule. Where as I'm 7th in opponent record.
There are only two teams in the top 10 in opponent record that even have a winning record. Kudos to Slo his schedule has been a beast.

Truelize said:
Uh... I fully expected myself to be on the low end of the strength of schedule as I've been saying all along. Not only that but you do realize that your own record determines a portion of that? Anyone I play gets a phat 9 opponent wins added to their opponent's record category. Take a look, the Skins, Vikes, Chargers, and you are benefitting from it. The Skins have the second toughest opponent record at 47-28. Pretend he never played me and it goes all the way down to 38-28, which is still a tough schedule, but not as impressive as 47-28. Slo would be at 29-27 if my game with him disappeared. The reverse is true. So in fairness, you can't just one-sidedly say that all the teams I have played against suck or the ones you have played against own, you have to take into consideration how much you suck or I own.
Fact of the matter is, though, I have told Fifty and FMT that I felt my schedule was a bit too easy.
All that said, I am interested in playing everyone who I won't get a chance to play against in league play in a ranked exhibition game. I am especially interested in playing Icedragon, Newsguy, and DJ-Tet.

We need to play later Wellie. I started out my new XBL account with a close L to Fifty. I need to even up that record.

Another L will even that up? You have some funny math, friend!
BTW I wanted to say thanks to you and Jason, I learned a couple of key things on defense from both of you early after the release of the game.

Andokuky said:Do you have AIM matrix? My Live tag is machopandora. I might be able to play tonight. If not then maybe Sunday night, definitely Monday night if you're available.
Wow, gauntlet coming up on my schedule. I forsee an 0-5 stretch coming up

Slo said:
What is wrong with change? Maybe it'll give another fan of one of those teams a chance to use them next season?
Maybe we should have had three options. I was assuming that even if "no" won, we'd still let the winner have the option to keep his team, like we did before. FMT set this poll up, but it was my idea to give the superbowl winner a choice to switch to another team before everyone else. Ideally we'd even have 4 poll options, since one of my ideas was to let the winner pick a team, but not let him pick a top 3 team like the patriots or colts.

Whether I win or lose, I doubt either of the two teams I want will be taken. Hell, no one even picked one of them for this season. Especially if we have a reduction in our numbers, which seems likely judging by the posts in this topic.

first off jet packing and manual blitzing of lb's/CB's is complete and total bullshit.
secondly you are allowed to manually blitz DE's so long as you dont pull them off the line all the way (i.e. turn them basically into a LB)
and last, the spread can be stopped by stepping up into the pocket. it also combats people who like to take 99% of their runs to the outside
p.s. again i must reiterate that i have used the spread literally maybe 3 plays this entire season. the league voted and the majority wanted spread, i voted against it. the final count was 14-10
Yeah, the writeup was nice, I saw you did both weeks. I forgot about that fumble on the punt. I've been slacking with the news stories, I didn't do it for our game or my last game with hg. Too much real work, so when I get home the last thing I want to do is anything related to news
great, WONDERFUL. Lose by 3. That INT that Ware caught on his knees, and he had time to get up, brush himself off, make some waffles with chocolate chips on them, and scamper 57 yards for a TD. I lost by 3.
Had numerous big time drops, my running game was ineffectual (how are there guys in the backfield all the time?) And I gave up a 20 yard sack. WTFAID?

we must have been watching different games? to me it looked like it was your run game was gaining at least 2 yards on 90% of your runs? my D only had 5 tackles for loss. I wish I had the stats for yards gained on 1st down for you. it felt like my D line was getting raped.
I got extremely lucky with that INT but I also lost a fumble in the red zone and Jones almost never fumbles.
gg and see you in a couple weeks
