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

Uh what? Jake Delhomme has a better arm than Carr, and Steve Smith is better in game than AJ. Not only that but now you have Keary Colbert, Ricky Proehl, and I'll even throw Ron Gardner in there as viable options over Bradford and Gaffney. And and and... an actual offensive line. It would be like bob last year saying he can't pass with the Rams but he can pass with the Bears. :lol

But yeah, there's always the factor of not knowing the playbook.

I dont know their playbook,which will be a big factor for me when I use the Panthers.

I know the Texans playbook by heart and know my strengths when it comes to playing with them.As far as Carr,I dont know if Delhomme has a better arm than him in this game,Carr can flat out launch the ball and Ive played with Jake like twice before and couldnt throw deep with him at all.Im sure you mean just passing in general,but we all know my game ;P I dont recall how big Jakes passing cone is,how much bigger can it be than Carrs?

I do agree with you,Panthers are a hell of a lot better than the Texans and I'll have far more options to use playing with them.

Why is MrBob hiding?

If you look at one of his previous posts, he says he won't get his games in until the 4th day before the League advances so that the roster updates can come in time to screw me over. That bastard.

I was just about to message you, I haven't eaten dinner yet and it's almost 10:10pm. I would love to play right now but I'm doing a project for work on my computer. Is there a chance we can play at 10:40pm? I apologize for pushing the time back but I have a ton of shit to do tonight, I'll be up til 4am minimum tonight.

My luck is going to run out one of these days. Another RIDICULOUSLY tight win.

The Bears players are on steroids. They jump the ball better than any team I have ever seen. I am good at not throwing ints, but I threw three with Eli this game.

I fucking dropped the controller and it hit B and went out of the game. I asked bob to record my stats. :(

One more win and I have the best record ever in a Madden league, which right now is 13-3 held by Ramirez iirc.

Ugh. What a tough loss. I can sum up this loss in 3 plays.

1) First quarter, game is 0-0. I get Wellie to punt on his first possession. My damn punt returner runs 10 yards, gets hit and fumbles the ball. He returns it for a TD.

2) Next play from the line of scrimmage I try to dump off the pass to my fullback in the flats. 'Cause of those fucking small buttons I lob the ball instead of firing it to my fullback, so the ball floats in the air and gets picked off. Returned for a TD. Now I'm down 14-0 on two plays in a row.

3) I make a big comeback and am down 28-22 in the 4th, get down to his 6 yard line with 15 seconds left. 3rd and goal I see his LB tries to bump my WR at the line of scrimmage. I see it and I throw it to my WR after the bump and he drops the fucking ball. Would have been a game winning TD and he blew it. I don't convert on 4th down and lose the game.

Oh well. I think I may have actually figured out how to pass with Orton in the 2nd half of the game. Maybe.

Hahahaha. Look at my stats dude from my previous games. I have sucked with Orton throwing. But I think things may be turning around. It wasn't until the second half where I started to get some completions. I threw more passes than I wanted too, though. Damn deficit.

Orton is a bizzare player,in a game I had against Bob he had 4 or 5 tds throws and 6 ints.

Here is another way to sum up my game with Wellie.

He got 21 first points in the first half and only had 2 total first downs.

Good game Matrix, I'm up 21-7 and find a way to fuck it up again.............throw an INT inside my own 20 when I had no business even trying to throw that pass with Houshy in single coverage down the field. I should have hot blocked my RB when you picked up that sack in OT, it was 2nd and whatever and I thought I could get the pass off before the blitz got to me. I'm also trying to figure out how the fuck you stop the run in dime formation :lol

Well done, I lose again this time 24-21 in overtime.

GG man,god damn I really f'ed up at the end of reg.I meant to call timeout and kick the fg,instead somehow I had it on punt and of course the bs bug in the game wouldnt let me audible out :( I dont think I would have hit a 54 yard fg to win but that was so retarded of me.

As for stopping the run in dime :lol I have no idea how it worked so well,I kept using contain and bringing everyone in when I thought you were going to do that fake handoff play.I'm always getting abused with the Texans cause of my 3-4 D and to be able to stop the run in dime formation was funny :lol I cant do that shit with the Texans,you ran for over 200 yards on me.

I'm going to stop giving the Giants matchup of the week. It's just too obvious that they're going to win every game now.

My electricity has been off and on the last 2 days. Got through Rita fine, then a thunderstorm comes through and fucks everything up.

I'm moving this weekend Slo, can you play tonight or anytime Sat/Sun? Give me a time and I'll let you know if I can make it.

Friday or Saturday night after 9:00-10:00 PM Central should be ok I think. We could probably do it on Sunday if it came down to it, but I'd rather watch real football than play Madden.

WTF, stop trying to jinx me. I beat DM on the fluke "MilkGate" scandal, I can't beat him again. Rors is discovering the powah of Moss, so that will be a tough matchup considering I have yet to have to even plan for a WR in this season. And of course, FMT will be a tough matchup.

The Giants are still a shitty team, and if they feel like it in any one of these games, they can certainly play like it. Just ask Lone who has seen it first hand. :(

Don't worry, friend. I'm about to stuff CKs running game.

I'm holding him under 50 yards.

I bet you $500 you won't hold me under 50 yards rushing.

Statistics                  Wellie            MrBob

Rushing yards for                   126              41

Not only did I pass 50 yards, but then I went ahead and held you under 50.

CK, left you a PM.

And yeah, I've seen The G-Man on Drop Off Tuesdays. Sir, would you like another Drop with your Coffee?


Oh, and looking at the stats from my game last night against Ror's. Alexander accounted for 86% of my total offensive yard output.

You held me under 50 yards because I fell down 14-0 and had to start passing to catch up! :lol

Oh, and I never agreed to thet bet. ;)

Holy shit, sorry buddy. :(

Anytime anyone wants to play I am up fo the challenge, I have said this in this topic. I dunno when the heck I can find a time to play Ramirez though since I would have to disconnect my router. Since we last played in NBA 2K5, my family has gotten two more computers (making a total of 4 to compliment the xbox if I want to play), so if anyone other than me is at home they're on a computer. Fucking internet nerds.
