    Awesome. So when VaTech simmed the second half Joe McKnight broke his wrist. Yeah, that's just fucking great. I'm telling you guys, that week 7 matchup, there was *NO* chance that the game was gonna let me win. I mean VaTech was likely going to win even if it was straight up just him and me but then the game did it's extra little push to make SURE I didnt win the game. Are they fucking serious that Joe McKnight is out with a broken wrist?! What. The. fuck.

    In terms of the rematch idea if we were to implement it, it would have to be classy and limit how often it could happen. I would say something along these lines:

    -*ONLY* 1 rematch can be called per person
    -No person can be forced into a rematch more than twice


    I don't know. I'm either way on the idea but it would allow for people that think it was a complete shot in the dark badluck shit to replay their game. I'm sure we've all had one where NOTHING went right in a game. Once again, I could care less if we implemented it but if we were going to it needs to be structured to limit how many times it can happen.

    I'd like to switch teams, but it realy doesn't matter. If I had to pick someone, it would likely be Tennessee. Good tradition, good stadium & a team I could build up. Playing with the Florida, Oklahoma, USC & Texas realy isn't much fun to me.

    UF's secondary is pretty sick... I can't imagine if I didn't drop them & left them how they were. It definitely allows me to be more aggressive with my LBs & d-line. Michigans o-line held up pretty good against my front 4 & I had to send an extra man to get QB pressure. When I played Bama... I was was only sending 3 or 4 man fronts & dropping everyone else back in coverage. I think I had 7-8 sacks in that game.

    The only reason I don't have more RB flat passes is that I haven't been using UF's playbook. It's virtually impossible to run with anyone other than Tebow with the UF playbook. It would be a necessity to throw them the ball, as 90% of the playbook sends them to the flats.

    I didn't want to play with UF to start with, but they are "my team" & the goal was for us to all use the team we support. I'll stay with UF, but I thing building a shitty team like UT would be fun.

    My living situation is still up in the air. My wife's in a therapy session as I type. Depending on the outcome of that & where she ends up tonight... I might be able to play in an hour or so, or not all.

    I'm hoping everything shakes out in the next few days.

    Exactly. You flat out can't play man bc you will get destroyed in the flats. Somebody it an 8- yarder on the 1st play in the flats vs me. I think it was Texas, actually lol.

    Kept a TE or HB/FB to block every play, was my only chance and you still had 4 or 5 sacks. I was surprised though, I was getting good pressure on Tebow ... almost too good to the point where I pulled CB coverage twice trying to switch up and make a dive at him. :killme:

    Anyway, Braves, that game from today is getting deleted ... if you want to play it again tonight and ease up on the halfback stuff, I am game. If not, we're going to have to sim it and figure out the rule structure for next season. I am perfectly happy to play again if you want to go a little more sim. Everything was fine except the excessive HB and TE outs. Couple of times is fine, over and over with screens mixed is redundant and we're going to have to set a rule in place for it.

    Game was thrown out. Let's try to get a clean game in. I don't think Braves is trying to cheese at all, but I do agree that a dozen or so of the same route is a little much.

    I'm down, not sure where Braves is at though. I'm out in the morning so have to get it in tonight, but he said he might be hanging with his girl in a pm earlier so :idk:

    If we don't get it in tonight, just let him play the CPU or sim it, he should be able to murder me with Texas either way so whatever. I can't play until Sunday night for week 9 so just sim that one too if you advance on Saturday.

    I feel like I will come back to 2-6 and have to win out to bowl ... in other words, probably ain't happening with 1 home game left.

    Great game jorts, your D is spectacular, took me a while to get used to the amount of pressure you get with Dunlap, had to learn to step up and to the left where you were rushing from. UF's O is tough to defend since in this game if you don't get pressure you are pretty much dead, and anytime I brought a blitz you did a great job reading it and got it to Thompson on a fly route and my CB's simply couldn't handle your speed.

    Tech came back from a 16-3 with about 2 minutes to go in the 1st half and reeled off 17 unanswered points. If you had any issues with my gameplay let me know. I try to play as sim as possible but I know that some people have different ideas of what is sim and what is not, if you had an issue with anything I did let me know so that I can adjust accordingly. You played straight, and Dunlap is a MONSTER. Was a great game and I really enjoyed it.

    When that first go ahead TD got called back for holding I was about to :blowup:

    It was a good game... you definitely got me when my head wasn't in the game (blaming wife for loss). Not having Demps or Janoris in the 2nd half hurt & Lawrence Marsh got a season ending injury last week on the simulated game.

    You converted about 4-5 3rd & 15+... one was a crucial facemasking penalty against me, when I had stopped you short on the go-ahead drive.

    No problems with how you played the game, although I would have gone apeshit had you not kicked the FG on the second 4th & 1.

    It's fine, I sent him a PM. Let him choose although I'd prefer the sim with what happened today and the original plan being to play tonight. He can pick if we don't get it in, just try and wait on week 9 until Sunday if at all possible. Would hate to miss two games because of a ridiculous 3 day wedding I got forced into going to.

    Yeah I wasn't sure of your guys rule on the 4th down thing. I figured on the first one that since I was down 6 in the 3rd qrt at about the 30 yd line that i could go for it on 4th and 1. At that point you were moving the ball pretty easily on me and figured I needed to get points. The second 4th and 1 on the 1 1/2 yard line I couldn't decide what to do. I said screw it and was going to go for it, after attempting to draw you offsides and my guy jumping it made the decision easy to kick the FG.

    If there is a rule that I should have kicked it both time I apologize and will be sure to do so from now on.

    He actually brought out his offense, but just to try & get me to jump offsides... then took a delay of game penalty to get a better angle for his FG. At first i was like :angry: but then :smile:... although I did have to blow a time-out.

    I couldn't audible or pull up my routes after the 1st half... & tebow was just a little off on a few throws. The turning point in the game was the 1st drive of 2nd half... Rainey busted a 30-40 yard run & I was marching. On the 15 & had Hernandez unmarked wide open in the endzone. Someone hit Tebow as I threw it & he threw a pick. That would have likely been the ballgame.

    Called it about right. Anything over 1 early on if the score is close should probably be a kick.

    It's kind of been the problem a little, the rules are undefined. What we used last year in my other league was anything over 4th and 1 is a punt or kick no matter where on the field as long as you're not down by 17+ in the first half or 9+ in the 2nd half or it's the 4th quarter where it turned into user discretion. Worked alright.

    I'm not sure of the rule, but you played it straight as far as i'm concerned. You handed the ball off to your FB on the 1st one... not like you threw to your RB in the flat or ran a slant. It was football, but frustrating.

    Just like it is in our other league. 4th and more than inches in your own territory is a punt. From 50 to your opponent's 30 is your call. Inside the 30, kick the FG.

    That is the same rule that we use in the other dynasties that I am in, even with that rule I will almost always kick the FG. The way the game was playing out though I really thought that I needed the points since Jorts had been pretty much marching at will on me in the 2nd qrt, and the first drive of the second half. Anything more than 4th and 1 and I would have definitely kicked the FG. If it makes a difference at all, corso was telling me to go for it both times too :smile:

    Yea, I couldn't play last night. I am more than willing to play the computer but if you want to sim it, go ahead. Just know that I am going to be livid if you sim it and I lose, since I already won once.

    Dbl, if you can recruit for me, please do so. I won't have internet at my apartment until tomorrow at the earliest, but it's Comcast so I am guessing Monday or so. Will the CPU recruit automatically for me if I'm on auto? I don't have a game, I just don't want to have all my prospects drop me a spot or two, they all have me at 1. I'll PM you my password for my PS Online name, hope that can get you online. I'm bumming wireless from somewhere now, I probably won't be on here again for a couple days, so hopefully it'll do well. Obviously, don't wait on me to advance.

    And I think it's ok if we have to wait a few days to advance if jayhawker thinks he can get his internet fixed soon enough.

    but if Jayhawker is fine with me playing him as the CPU then I'll do it, otherwise I'm waiting and my game is not getting simulated.

    We have no idea when his net will be fixed. Play the computer. If we wait for 3-4 days everytime someone has an issue, we'll get one season completed before next year's game comes out.

    I'll PM you Eastwood's info. He needs someone to recruit for him, and I don't know how to log in to someone else's account.

    I PM'd you back to tell you how to log into Eastwood's account, it's extremely easy just follow what I typed.

    Also if Jhawker can't play by tomorrow afternoon/ night just simulate it I guess.

    I just don't want to take a win because most likely I'll win pretty handily when I know the game would be close considering he was up 7-3 going into the 2nd.

    This season doesn't really matter cause it's shot already (most likely won't win division)

    So I'll post back in this thread sometime tomorrow to let you know if jayhawk is going to be able to play or not.

    Otherwise like I said we'll just simulate since it's more fair.
