See the amount of brainwash they already have don. It´s not something new at some place you got to, it´s something they plaster (or take away) from your space. It´s like if Nintendo required you to alow them to put stickers of their choise on your NES if wanted to continue using it. You are their consumer whore, they take your money, they steal your functions, and after that they offer you a gazillion ways to sell you more while you battle for them against people that say "Wait a minute, this issent how it´s suposed to be!". You are their consumer whore. I bet you would like your PCs OS a lot more if it would plaster Adds on 2/3 of your screen as soon as your mouse nears something that has anything to do with useing the internet. http://www.ewbattleground.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=82954

Never had that happen and I've played a LOT. Do you have the latest patch? Were they even playing before the injury? No. I just realized I have two guys on my team with an almost identical name. I didn't realize it, because they're both injured, and one plays and the other doesn't at all. I even remember when it happened and was like 'wtf how did he get hurt again so soon?' The one that doesn't ever play came back healthy, complained about not playing, I went to my roster and saw that the one that does play still is hurt. Anyway, I transfer listed the complainer and he apologized the next day.

Agreed. Knowing Perry's luck, it'll run for a half a season like Studio 60 did, though.

I think I saw it mentioned earlier in here, but I could be wrong. Anyone else having problems with injured players complaining about lack of playing time? I wish there was a "Hey, jackass, you're hurt" response.

Both my keepers got hurt within a day of each other (one in game, one in training) in my game last night. Luckily I had eight days until my next game so I was able to bring on one of the Tottenham reserves on loan for a few months while they recovered.

He and Amare run into each other and take each other out. That'd be the most likely scenario. :/

You see Jennings face right before he revealed his Final Jeopardy question? He looked mega-pissed.

"I'll wager six-thousand, four-hundred, and thirty-five dollars."

Alex was great. "Uh, no. Ken just said that."

Midgets in boxes scare me more than supercomputers.

Yeah, that was surreal. Someone needs to kill it, and kill it quickly.

Is there any reason why it isn't showing up for me? I bought the pack so that I didn't have to buy each individually. But I don't see it on the download screen where I downloaded everything else.

"MAAAAARBLES!"

Has the DLC with the Nitro arena been released yet? I haven't played this in forever, and that may get me back into it.

I think you're just trying to make yourself feel better about the Lions, but ok. Defensive Line: Elvis Dumerville's injury last year basically crippled us as a defense last year. He plays the defensive end/linebacker hybrid position so I'll mention him in the other section too. But what we missed last year was a pass rusher. We finished near the bottom (if not dead last, I honestly can't remember) in sacks last year. Just watching our games, we couldn't get any penetration in the backfield and it felt like anytime a team ran the football, they were never even met at the line of scrimmage with one of our defenders, let alone hit in the backfield. We need someone who can not online beat an offensive lineman off the ball, but we need someone with the strength, agility, and determination to bust through and bust some ass. This past season (and really, the last few years) we've looked more lethargic on the defensive line than any other team I can remember watching. Even two years ago when we had Mike Nolan's defensive schemes, we still just didn't possess any playmakers on the line to create any mismatches. Our defensive schemes hardly ever called blitz which meant our line had to go it alone. And when you can't break through with three or four man rushers, you give the opposing quarterback to sit on his butt, scratch himself, then find the open man. It all starts with our defensive line, and I'm drooling at the mouth that we have a chance to get Bowers or Fairley in April. Linebackers: A couple years ago, we took Robert Ayers in the first round and I was ecstatic. Ayers was going to be the linebacker that busted chops and forced offenses to gameplan against. Well, fast forward back to present time and that just hasn't developed. Granted, it's been two injury-plagued seasons for him, but he has yet to show any little flash of what his potential was. DJ Williams is an another former first round pick of ours, but one that panned out and did wonderfully. But he's been arrested more than a couple times for DUI and is facing possible suspension. They guy is a former Miami University player, so I'm just going to leave it at that, as opposed to go into much more detail about how law-abiding he is. Dumerville coming back is going to be a huge help, but over on the other side, I'd love for us to find someone quick and that can cover in the mid-rounds this year. Someone fast enough to get in there and hit the quarterback on blitzes, but someone who can drop back and help in coverage when Elvis is sent in. Maybe I'm underestimating Ayers and he'll step up and deliver once our linebacking core is more healthy, but I'm not as hopeful as I once was. Defensive Backs: Champ Bailey has not found the Fountain of Youth. Opposing quarterbacks are still hesitant to throw his way, but for how much longer? He's already said that if Denver wants to keep him around, he's going to be moved to Safety. Champ will be 33 by the time the new season starts and Brian Dawkins is going to be 38. We need quite the youth movement back there. It should be interesting to see if Elway and Fox go defensive backs with our pick in the Second Round (and really, the third round) because that's one place I think would be perfect to build up now while Champ and Brian can mentor them.

I'd be more than happy to go into some detail about all the help the Broncos need, but if you guys were getting pissy at the length of sahyder and HTTK's posts then I'll just say: defense.

I'll echo whoever said Primer earlier. I loved it. I wouldn't say so much that it was overlooked, though, as it was probably much more never seen at all. I think it being mentioned here is the first time I've ever seen/heard it mentioned by anyone other than me.

So a player can't play more than sixteen games? That's stupid. That would be adding rules just for the sake of rules. If you're going to expand to eighteen games, you play the eighteen games if you're healthy. If you don't want someone playing more than sixteen games, just don't add any more. Horrible idea.

lol wrong

I'd rather have Tebow than either.

I think the extra two games just adds unnecessary risk. While, yes, I'd love to see more football, I don't think it's a good call in a few ways. Like I said, it adds two more games where a serious injury could happen. Yes, it's football, but we don't need to tack on more opportunities for someone to end up paralyzed. I also think it could water down the regular season. I think it's at it's perfect length right now IMO. As for the records, I don't really care about that, though someone said no one cared when baseball did it, which is a lie. It's why they had separate 154 and 162 season records for over two decades.

To say the least. We went from beating Chelsea last weekend to drawing with Wigan this weekend. Bah. I'm ready for this season to be over.
