Shane got screwed by the servers. Either way, we had two tough games.

Score and stats look close. What happened?

freethrowtommy · 02-05-2013, 07:42 AM

I advanced to the championship week! Colts vs. Chiefs and Niners vs. Lions. Get your game in as soon as you can.

Game dropped in the 4th quarter the first time around, Shane was winning by a touchdown as I started to come back, had 3-4 minutes left so could have been pulled out. The re-do of it went the other way, and my team apparently showed up to play

Advanced to the Superb Owl

freethrowtommy · 02-07-2013, 08:04 PM

After a Niners 24-0 victory over the Colts, we are officially advanced to the offseason. First week is resignings so get your players signed! I will be planning to advance every other day starting Saturday at 8 PM CST until the draft. Congrats to all who stuck with the league and to Zing for a good Super Bowl.

I really wanted revenge, but then you go an pull a Bellichick and lose in the offseason after going undefeated. Who does that?

i started the game with the wrong offensive playbook, and by the time I had realized it, Storm had scored so I didn't want to look like I was trying to get out of it. I just couldn't get comfortable.

Don't worry... new season, another year to screw up the playbook in the playoffs

I am curious how many FA are going to hit from the Lions right about now

Clarka3 · 02-08-2013, 11:03 AM

i am just hoping i can change my playbooks in the offseason like Shane says you should be able to. I plan to rock an completely new offensive and defensive playbook.

dustin9900 · 02-08-2013, 11:24 AM

Orakpo is resigned! He wouldn't take a deal during the season and I ended up getting him for less than what I offered at one point, weird. I just hope you boys let somebody go I need a WR and some Defense!!

The best free agent coming from me is Boldin

None of the number 1 defense has anyone of note going to FA, but it sounds like you will have a shot at Boldin.

Also, I am lucky that digital Culliver isn't as horrible as real Culliver... because digital Culliver is pretty awesome.

Clarka3 · 02-08-2013, 02:23 PM

we should re-start this thing as a draft league with the latest roster updates.

We are better off continuing this one until the new Madden comes out and we have to start over anyhow...

I thought that someone had already created a spin off in Season 1 with a live draft? What happened to that league?

There was already a separate league created for this. We aren't going to do it again.

Another issue with a draft league is if you don't get in on the ground floor, you have NO idea who is on what team. At least some of the teams in this league are still pretty much intact and we got 3 new members who just joined up.

If we start with 10 guys in a draft league, and 5 guys quit by the end of league, it is going to die fast because we aren't getting new people to join on random teams.

I just took over the saints ... Freethrow was saying something about bidding on players on my roster... how does that work? ... is it you guys can't bid but computer controlled teams can?

Right now, you can resign your players before free agency. You need to do it before 8 PM CST tomorrow because I will advance to the next week.

phinzphan1372 · 02-08-2013, 07:11 PM

Do we play or sim pre-season games?

Will take care of signings after wife gives up the TV

hehe

I will probably take the preseason like we do the offseason, same as last year. Advance every other day. That way, ones who want to play (for experience and practice) can do so.

Who needs the 1 year stop gap QB? Kurt Warner is BACK!
