We simmed out a low scoring shitfest, Buccs over Colts 23-20. I can't see if one of the scores of my team is a punt/kick return TD, or a defensive score because the offense looks to have stalled in the red zone alot (how realistic); also, the web app is poo poo for recording stats. Tannehil had the better performance by a pretty decent margin, throwing a couple scores with no turnovers. RG3 had a miserable comp %, and didn't score. Murray turned in a decent run game and had a TD vultured by my second stringer.

I didn't get anyone injured, hope you didn't either.

:siren:Season 2 Week 2:siren:

Dubs should be fired edition Matchups!


Yuzenn @ Dave - one team coming off a pretty brutal season opener, the other taking a tough loss sim because Fake Goodell is an idiot. Will Geno last the season as the starter in the Big Apple, and will Tannehil reignite his squad?
CPU Fins @ Havoc - :thurman:RUTS alert:thurman: JFF probably going to keep exploiting weak defenses here for a 60 burger
FG @ CPU Falcons - Despite a pretty fearsome pass rush in Atlanta, we're looking at a barn burner here. Expect to see alot of rushing yards.
FW (still auto i think) @ Eagles - Skins unfortunately didn't sim to a in in Week 1. Let's hope this loving terrible Eagles squad provides them a W.
Paperback @ CPU Steelers - Al Davis' prodigal son hungers for terrible towels.
D_I @ Dubious - Sorry man, you'll have to take a Sim since I can't auto myself as this game is terrible. I'll be back in time for the next advance so these are over with after week 2. On paper, your offense looks to obliterate my suspect, developing defense and I don't like my odds against the sim at all. Likely going to be a divisional W for Saints.
Nagger @ CPU Bengals - :clint: gonna run wild with Megatron here folks.
Goob @ waah - Goob may be done, as he mentioned in the main league he was trading in after the end of that league's season. If so, he'll need to drop himself if he is done. If not, we're looking at two of the better defensive players in the league teeing off on each other.
Piper @ Bonham - Fresh off a shutout, the Titans are looking for leverage in the AFCS against their divisional rival Jags, whose starting QB checked into the geriatric ward.


Advance will be Thursday, November 6th.

isn't there an UDFAs with a better arm? I mean Ponder's fine if you wanna dink and dunk but god help you if you need to open up the playbook. (he's not the worst, I had to play 3 games in main league with him, but you gotta throw safe passes). At least he's got mobility.

It looks like no injuries on the web app, and I guess you scored on a kickoff cause I show no giveaways and you show no takeaways.

Dave, when can you play? I'm off all of tomorrow but I want to go see my mother at some point.

BTW, am I willing Tannehill into being a decent QB IRL? Cause he's making daddy proud right now......and I'd love to pitch this movie idea to paramount.

I'm starting him in regular league as a result of the blockbuster trade between the Dolphins and Vikings 4th rounder

by far the best QB on that roster and a lot more versatile than I expected

Easily 3/4ths of my Ints last year involve me trying to put a deep ball into anything even resembling coverage. Don't do it, especially post patch.

However, he can be trusted to put short passes on the money, as you saw by the Phantom Catch in the Superbowl.

JFF is now rated 95 and as become a god that doesn't miss passes. I will try and dial it back, probably try out some new offenses schemes to see if I can get anything working with new plays.

GG Dave, my defense needs some work on the scrimmage field....that 70 yard run and early TD pass were well called. You were getting right over my shallow zone, I was amazed you weren't throwing more often. Manuel seems too leadfooted to run option plays anyhoo....

After throwing a pick early in the first and missing five of my first six throws, Charles saves the day with 116 yards passing and a TD and 140 on the ground and three TD's. I couldn't think it could happen but I think he got faster over the offseason, he got to the edge so drat fast I couldn't believe it. His spin move was money for me and he caught a lot of passes to keep drives going.

Tannehill needs to shake the rust off after a pedestrian day at best. Larry Fitzgerald saw one target which was a drop, but I think its time to start bringing Maclin into the fold and stretching the field some.

There is no way Charles is going to be my return man all year, it just isn't worth the inevitable injury.....

GG. Ponder was showing signs of life at the end there. #notallcarrs had a setback this week throwing 3 ints to 1 TD. Running game going nowhere, but Sammy Watkins and Rob Housler are getting open like crazy.

Matchups of the league that can advance :v:


Raiders and Buccs both won their sims quite handily.

waah @ CPU Vikings - Kansas City's newfound offensive game looks to make it 3 wins in a row against Sam Bradford's Vikings.
Piper @ Yuzenn - two of the better defensive minds face off in an AFC playoff game preview. Offensively, it's the battle of the 2011 first round QBs in the game of who turns it over the least.
Havoc @ CPU Culturally Insensitive Football Team (FW's PS4 is still in limbo) - JFF has gone crazy! Who can stop the madness in Dallas?
CPU Steelers @ Nagger - Megatron gonna break one of these days, but until he does, TDs are going to rain.
Dave @ CPU Texans - EJ Manuel's grasp on the starting job is slip, slip, slipping away unless he rebounds against a lovely Houston team.
FG @ CPU Giants - AP is gonna take out the switch on this sorry squad. Twitter states that Coughlin regrets the role he played in the incident.
CPU Chargers @ Paperback - Raiders, fresh off a huge 42 point sim win, look to keep their rushing attack moving forward; three different backs scored last week.
Bonham @ CPU Bills - Gonna be a bad day in Buffalo for the fans as the Titans are coming in after two strong user wins.
Dubious @ CPU Falcons - RG3 is going to look to score early and often through the air against a pitiful Atlanta secondary, but is wary of their quick pass rush.

Advance will be Sunday, November 9th in the afternoon.

It's back to the drawing board with my defense cause they are just getting gashed on the run. Morris felt like he could get 6 yards each play before being touched. My drafted MLB better train harder and faster!

Tannehill never ceases to amaze, he's growing on me. As soon as I threw that Eli-esque pick six to start the game I figured I would be playing from behind but little did I know he would be my crutch. You threw an all out blitz at me that could have gotten him killed but somehow it faked out your corner that was coming in for the kill shot and I got a wide open Terrance Williams across the middle.

That Hail Mary at the half was such luck I'm almost sorry it happened. Cecil Shorts the Third plucks one of those out of the air...yeah ok.

Where the hell are my corners this year? I put almost every possible play in to keep you from throwing to the sticks, even with instructing them at the line to protect the sticks!! Ah well, as long as Charles and Tannehill are healthy I can just ride them each game.....

Good Game!

I really don't like Confidence this year, a lot of you probably haven't even seen how much it fucks up some of your rookies/FA's key stats because they "don't know the playbook". You can only see the downgrades/upgrades in the Depth Chart menu. Like my rookie WR has 5 or 6 TDs and is still having his stats downgraded.
