For those of you who are scheduled to with Wreckus, he is literally the most unresponsive person alive. The way I approach my games with him is to log on whenever I have time to also play a CPU game, and just checking to see if he's on as well. This has worked well for me as he always stops/quits whatever else he's doing to get the game in. It's not preferable but it beats the playing CPU, and doesn't inconvenience you as you were already intending to play a game.

Sure - one of those two times should work, though my wife gets back from a work trip Friday night so if we do Sunday, the earlier the better probably for me.

I work from home though so I'm available during days, in case you're thinking your time difference would keep us from playing during the week.

Uhh yeah, your Oline is okay, but you've got the best trio of QB/RB/WR prb in the league. The only IRL weirdness is Nathan Peterman taking over for Voytik up there. I fully expect you to face shootouts vs our user foes. While I will have to hope I can keep people under 24 to have a real chance to win with how unexplosive my offense is.

Okay - well with my wife getting back from a work trip Friday night, I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to make Sat/Sun work - but what time Sunday would you be thinking?

And if I can't make it work, would you be around Monday? If so, what time? I'm in CT now, but you can give it to me in ET. I can convert between those two. :)

That should work for me but I'll keep you posted. I have to call in a prescription refill to my doctor, but I don't think that I'll be able to go pick them up until tomorrow. If they say they'd be ready today, I would probably be out at that time to handle it, so I'll let you know. If I don't post back, I'll be online at 1:45!

Hey Sly, might need to start around 2. I have a call from 1:30-2, though it doesn't always last until 2. We may not even have it today, so I'll just log in when I'm available sometime between 1:45 and 2.

Gg cletus, your pass d gave up a few huge plays that you couldn't recover from, especially with your recievers being unable to hold onto the ball.

Yeah, that crazy INT you got off the tip and then that fumble kept me from working on a comeback. Did the score save for you? The game froze on me as I was typing up a message to you at the end and I'm not seeing it on the website.

edit - Well, I hope it saved - it's still not showing on the Teams page of the website, but we had that problem with a game JB played in another dynasty, so as long as you made it back to the main dynasty screen it should be fine. GG like I said in the message! Yeah you were getting that receiver wide open on me. In the 2nd half, at least for sure in the 4th quarter, I was on the look-out for him to make sure that wouldn't happen again. (but you probably could have pulled it off again) Unfortunately since you know I'm trying option out so much, I was starting to scramble more quickly than I normally would just to get some traction with my fast QB - guess I need to start doing that earlier in user games, I just worry about cheesin'! And yeah, my receivers really were not helping at all!

TBH you don't even have to make it back to the home screen. It's weird but what happens is the game disconnects once you choose "Exit Game". It doesn't save any of the highlights or stats, but it shows as being played.

No way. I was ahead by about 150pts on that SS last week.

Tomorrow morning will definitely not work for me unless you're up super early and I happen to also wake up early - driving to my dad's to watch LSU/South Carolina. Evening could work if you're around. Sunday morning could work - or another time during the day. If not, I'm driving my wife (yet again) to the airport Monday, so I'll be free almost all week from Monday afternoon til Friday night.

GT gets lots of yards, but not enough points. VT had a bunch of huge plays early and sorta coasted to the finish (1 80 yd TD with 3 shed tackles, 1 83 yd punt return with 3 shed tackles, 1 pick 6). Otherwise gg cletus.

Dubiouss and our pal Wreckus have a game. If BC needs to be Ap'd let me know should it not happen by say Sunday.

Yeah you played a great game, even without those unreal broken tackle TDs that I still can't get over. I was trying my best to trick you into thinking I'd be doing something different than I did on offense, worked a few times, but yeah - my passing game definitely needs work. It's weird because Thomas completes a good % of passes against the CPU but he overthrew like crazy against both you and Sly. And I really thought I got out of bounds with that 1 second left on the clock in the first half, it wasn't letting me hurry up, so I was trying to squeeze in a FG there. Not sure if I had tried calling a play other than a FG there if I'd have gotten a chance to even try something, but I was so sad when the clock just went to 0.

(that punt where I think you got the TD, I think the commentators were like "Why didn't he go for the FG there?" - the game suggested punt and my kicker is no where good enough to have made it, but yeah, I should have just tried and failed there haha so maybe they were onto something)

I was only able to show off Thomas' speed a few times but man he is unbelievably fast. I probably should have tried running more options in the first half but I felt like you were expecting them so I was scared.

I don't think you messaged me back on XBL - but did the TOs get you riled up? I thought they might have - wasn't my intention. You went for it on that 4th and goal when I called the first one and I stopped you, then you threw that pick in the end zone even closer to the end. I was of course hoping to SOMEHOW get into the game but after you went for it on the 4th and goal and failed from the first TO I figured I'd keep doing it and try to cause more mistakes. :) I really never like to end a game, blow out or not, with TOs left on the board. Definitely not just to prolong the game for no reason.

Nah I went for it on 4th because I figured either i would score or you'd get the ball back. I have no issue with anyone using time outs, since we only get so much of the game I also enjoy playing as much of it as is available. Thomas really made me look bad on a couple of plays, and I think his accuracy suffered because while I didn't log many sacks, I did pressure the QB well for most of the game which created some awkward throws. I felt like my offense was lucky more than anything. I'm still suspicious of this offense sustaining scoring. The defense is suffocating at times, but when I saw the final stats you ran all over me with Thomas, I just held everything else in check, I would also run him more in the future if I were playing with that team.

The punt return was lucky because it bounced into my returner then back to him and the coverage had over pursued it so I only have a couple of slower players to outmaneuver to break it open. Your punting made it tricky, I may need to practice a new technique because I feel like both your punts could have resulted in me turning it back over which is strong special teams play even if it back fired on my return.

Dubiouss I can AP BC so you can play by Wed night.
