EWBFL FANTASY LEAGUE EXTRAVAGANZA~!

[DYSI]

I thought you had me beat at the end to be honest, just couldn't contain Gore all of a sudden.

That last play was mental. Off the DB's back and into Holmes' hands. He did WHAT?!?!

Wow, that was pretty crazy.

Can someone check if everyone got their game in? It seems like it but I can't check on the franchise site because of the highlight that was uploaded.

everyone besides Maxx, who might or might not have been dropping out.

LaRon Landy totally fails at intercepting the ball and somehow tipped it back to Holmes . Oh and fuck Kenny Britt who had 3 drops that game.

Gotcha, I'll probably be simming within the hour.

WEEK TWO [Deadline: Wednesday, June 13th, 3 PM EST]

Arizona Cardinals (Dan) @ Washington Redskins

Seattle Seahawks (Drags) @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Dallas Cowboys @ San Francisco 49ers (Myst)

Philadelphia Eagles (DX) @ Atlanta Falcons

St. Louis Rams @ New York Giants (DYSI)

No UvU matchups this week but next week we have two. Which means I'll have to systemically destroy the Eagles, sorry DX.

EDIT -- Also, anyone have any ideas on how to regulate Off-Season Free Agency in next years Madden for EWBFL? Thought we might as well do some brainstorming here since you'll all probably be involved next year.

From what I've heard/read it's going to be just like the offline franchise mode where everyone who is an FA is fair game. What kind of restrictions you think we should set?

[Dan]

You bid on players and have a salary cap, so impose the cap and let everyone have whoever they bid highest on?

[Maxx]

Accept my inevitable Super Bowl victory and just let me sign whoever I want to streamline the process and save everyone time?

[mystikz]

Not sure if Maxx is staying in this season? I'm vs the Cowboys and all this week so...

[Maxx]

Yeah, boot me out.

[DYSI]

I'll boot Maxx either today or sometime this weekend.

But isnt' there already a cap in the game? I assume so since they say it'll be just as an offline franchise.

[Cactus Drags]

There's a cap and the free agency is done in stages. So you can either chuck a boatload of cash at one guy early on and hope you beat out everyone else (leaving you less money to sign anyone else), or pace it out. I think I read somewhere that money isn't always the determining factor.

[Dan]

Held AP to 44 yards and a fumble turnover, Romo threw 4 INTs too

[DYSI]

I lost again. This time I got shutout. >_< Jason Campbell had 5 INTs, my receiving core had about 9 drops, and Brandon Jacobs was... just there. My defense was okay but all my pass rushers can't stop the run for shit.

Anyone looking for a trade? I could deal Dumervill, Tuck, or Von Miller for an offensive weapon or run stopper.

EDIT -- Booted Maxx so you can get your game in now Myst.

[Dan]

You want Wes Welker or T.O.?

[Cactus Drags]

Fuck Pittsburgh. And fuck TJ Houshwhateverhtefuckyouspellit. Four times targetted, four drops. One of which was a guaranteed touchdown, no one near him, ball was in stride, he didn't even look for it, it bounced off his facemask and through his hands. Santonio Holmes dropped 3 as well.

[DYSI]

So yeah I had to replace my ethernet cable that was connected to my 360 over the weekend... is anyone still interested? There hasn't been much talk so I'm not sure if you guys are just all Maddened out or not.

[Cactus Drags]

I don't mind carrying on if everyone else wants to, but I'm thinking I might just trade it in.

[Dxfan555]

I think the momentum's kinda lost on this one. I could still go through with it personally, so I guess it's up to everyone else.

[DYSI]

Probably leaning towards trading it in too. Let everyone reboot in time for Madden 13.

To be honest if I had a better team I probably would've been more into it.

[Maxx]

Maxx=Ratings

[DYSI]

Now we all have abandonment issues, thanks a lot you ass.

[Maxx]

I'll return in Madden 13, fear not citizens

[mystikz]

If we are done then yeah I'm trading in. Probably back for 13 with a new team.
