Oh and everyone can use their best discretion for free agent signings. I'm going to make a few moves considering I drafted guys that already have season ending injuries... Injuries (from here on out) have been turned off.

So when do you want your ass kicked, LL? Megatron, Forte, Owen Daniels and RGIII will own your life.

[Your Mom]

I try to be nice and leave the Bears for Drags and he doesn't take them

[Maxx]

I think we shouldn't do trades, people gave me shit for it last time. Play with what you were dealt, sign FAs as needed.

Ha, thanks, but I'm the Bears in the regular one, thought I'd get bored playing the same schedule and seeing the same uniforms twice. Figured I'd go with someone I don't use ever and i a division with a couple of other user teams.

Although if Halo pulls the same bullshit as usual, I'm out.

[LL!]

If Halo pulls the same shit as usual HE should be out.

Something feels a little unholy about having Eli Manning as the Cowboys QB, but I guess it balances out seeing as we got Jason Witten back.

[LL!]

I also like the attention to realism in that the Dolphins get fucked over at QB again.

[Maxx]

Who do they have, I didn't get a chance to look?

[Your Mom]

I also like the attention to realism in that the Dolphins get fucked over at QB again.

We did?? Obviously I havent looked yet.

[LL!]

Ryan Fitzy

[Your Mom]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Maxx]

He's really not that bad, I have him on my ultimate team.

[LL!]

HE SUCKS, MAXX.

[Maxx]

Yeah he does.

Let's set the record straight about our game.

You threw five interceptions and completed 45% of your passes, no doubt in large part because of lag since it was really bad. A big example of the lag is Matt Forte running for 90 yards on 11 carries which wouldn't of happened otherwise no matter what you dispute. But you also didn't play well at all either regardless of lag. Big indicator of that? 42 pass plays and 11 runs with a 12th run done by Cutler. Certainly not a winning strategy and you can point out that you were always "behind the 8 ball", but you weren't like that until the second half. And you were never balanced or ever used the clock to your advantage no matter what. I had a perfect game with Aaron Rodgers, I played quite frankly one of the best games I have played as a QB in Madden. The yards may have been slightly inflated because of the lag, or some really awesome mismatches for me with Greg Jennings fast as fuck in this game and blowing past everyone could be it as well, but there's absolutely nothing illegal or even close to disputable about how I played that game offensively. You only had a total of four plays where you stopped me for a loss all game and I'm betting all of them were running plays too.

On top of this I held the ball over 2 to 1 on you and you not once all game tried to properly run the clock. You didn't have the patience to let the clock run down to at least 20 to 25 seconds each time which majorly hurt you and put your defense on an even worse playing field against my offense. And, amazingly so, I had a really good game with Cedric Benson - in large part due to the lag definitely - and I had a perfect ratio of runs to passes with 26 passes, 26 runs. Defensively the only thing I did that could even be possibly construed as not fair is my movement of my linebackers pre-snap, but it wasn't nanoblitzing. If you thought it was I'm sorry you feel that way, but it wasn't. There was one play all game where my guys got to one of yours within a second and that was AL anyway, so how that is my fault I don't know.

If anyone wants a game with me outside of the league for me to prove my play then I will. I've already played DYSI outside of the league just to see if there was anything actually wrong with my play. And I haven't since done any movement with my linebackers since DYSI said that was the only thing playing wise that could be considered not good, even though I really don't think anything I did was illegal anyway. I played him again in the actual league after that and beat his Colts, sans any linebacker movement, and the only reason I even did that was because he threw 4 interceptions. Which is also why I could score 45 points against him. If you want the reason for my success: Charles Woodson has 9 picks and my next best guy has 6. Clay Matthews has 11 sacks. And I barely control them, especially not Woodson or Williams. It's turnovers and sacks, which inflates the scores and makes it almost impossible for me not to score 50+ a game with an average of 3-4 turnovers a game. I'm not cheating, I mean seriously what's the point? I only do this for some competition otherwise I just stick to my offline franchise.

I'm just mostly curious I honestly have no idea how you score 50-80 a game. It just doesn't seem possible to me. Again I don't know what you are doing or aren't doing. I just don't get how? Yes turnovers happen frequently this year, but what 80 points vs the computer or other players seem really unreal? Are you the best play caller ever or are the rest of us doing something wrong?

I'm not trying to call you out or anything like I said I'm just really curious.

[Maxx]

I suppose I could play you, but I really don't feel like getting all that involved. The fact that Larz and LL scored so high kind of puts things in perspective.

[Your Mom]

Can I switch to the Bears? I was trying to be nice but I would really love to play as them. I'll play either way though

[DavidMarrio]

What day/time is best for you Deli?

[Cactus Drags]

I can't be arsed to keep going back and forth over this, so this is the last time I'll say anything. Do you not think that maybe my passing stats were fucked because your entire front seven was over the line of scrimmage untouched every play? I've no idea what was wrong with either running game, unless you're saying that you're such a godlike defensive phenom that it is inconceivable for an elite running back to run for 90 yards. The lag was not that bad. Worst I've had on '13, but not nearly as bad as some games I've had to suffer on '12. Offensively, something seemed off with the passing game. Defensively, there was some serious bullshit going on.
