San Diego (The Highlander) at Minnesota (Certis)

The impressive *cough* Vikings take on the Chargers! I can play tonight if you're not too hung over.

Grumpicus, when would you like to beat the Lions?

Frostfire 2112, I have a business trip coming up so we need to get our game in asap. I'll be available Tuesday-Friday any time after 6:30 PM EST.

Ok Legion - I work the mids all this week (thru Sunday) so we need to do it early afternoon - early evening EST... Say 11AM-4PM Pacific.

I can't play tonight Certis. It's the Fourth of July so I am going to a baseball game.

Maybe Tuesday night or Wednesday night.

Maybe Tuesday night or Wednesday night.

Wednesday night would be best, 8PM CST?

I can't say yes, but I couldn't say no.

Actually, I think I can get this game in. Tuesday (as in, tomorrow), the second you're available. I'll have the Xbox idling. Catch Legion on Xfire if you don't see me.

Hot diddly damn, I want to get a game in.

Firesloth. I'm typically free anytime after 5pm pst.

Well squirrelmonkey, it looks like it's your turn to give me a whippin.

How about tomorrow night? It would have to be before the Forza event starts at 10EST though.

Any night after 9:30 CST, Warlock... though I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the Packers are 0-2 and the Lions should be frothing at the mouth to get their shot at the boys from Lambeau.

The Chiefs took advantage of some timely drops by Colts Wrs, and although Priest Holmes didn't score, he ran for a hundred. Green had a good game also, and the Chiefs pulled out a close fought 17-14 victory.

Good game Ruthless!

Not ONE single rushing attempt by Indy? This ain't Blitz!

Legion - pls check your busy schedule and see my previous post as to when you might be available to play.

Thanks

I'm off Thursday, so that's best.

Loganrapp, I forgot I am helping a friend put in his pool liner tonight after work. I should be home after 8PM but I have a hockey game to play at 9PM so perhaps after 9:45 PM EST would be better. Ok?

That is innacurate. Muffin ran the ball somewhere around 10 times.

Well good. Weird, that's the second stats glitch we've seen this season so far - there was that one where the time of possession of a game added up to like 40 minutes...

This one was probably caused by the fact that after the game James was sent to Minnesota in what I would refer to as a potential blockbuster deal. I can't wait to see how the two teams make out!

Man, I don't see trading away Edgerrin James as being anything close to a good thing.

Here's a nice little stat: the 5 currently undefeated teams are the same 5 teams with the highest rushing yardage per games. And of those 5 teams, four are ranked 8th or lower in passing yardage per game.

Run the ball! I love you guys, I want you to do well. Please don't make Coach cry!

Ohhhh! I didn't even notice. Sweet!

For those who don't know, Ruthless and I made the following trade:

Randy Moss
Onterrio Smith

For:

Edgerrin James
Reggie Wayne

I'm so happy to have that no-good punk Moss off my team!

I'm surprised you made the move too, though. Michael Bennett's just a shade behind Freddie T so far. Can Edgerrin improve your running game THAT much?

I wanted to get rid of Moss, I'm not too worried about it one way or another. This is mainly to encourage trades and shake things up a bit

Well geez, I would've taken him if you wanted to get rid of him so bad. You could've had LaBrandon Toefield!

Anybody want to trade me their entire offensive line? Mine couldn't pick up a pass rush if it was a cold.

Your line is rated about as good as they come - except for crazy lines like Kansas City's.

A 5 man line can't pick up a 7-8 man blitz, and that's what Frankie throws at you. He'll mercilessly blitz you every damn play. You have to pull out the power running game and let the blitzers take themselves out of the play, and you have to send your receivers on fly patterns and hit them over the top on 1- and 3-step drops. If you drop back into the pocket and throw 5-6 men at 7-8 blitzers, you go down.

Certis, seeing as how I am at another baseball game tonight and you said Wednesday anyway, let's shoot for that.

Oh I know, trust me. He sent huge blitzes, and on those plays I would usually make the necessary adjustments. I can't count how many times I would just toss it over his blitzing defense, have 1-on-1 coverage, and it would get knocked down/intercepted/dropped. Even in a shotgun his pass rush would get to my qb before any play could develop. I figured I'd try the same thing and blitz him and never did my guys even get close. 6,7 men... stopped cold and all he had to do was hit the open receiver. Very frustrating to say the least. He put a whoopin' on me (score shows how 2k5 pulled its usual "let the loser back into the game" shenanigans), and I wept like a schoolgirl. I think I probably just suck worse than ever now.

His blitz D gave me fits too - I had to rally late to win by one score.

One thing to do is line up 5 receivers, and find the guy that is left completely uncovered (if he blitzes more than 6, then someone goes unaccounted for). And if he blitzes 6, you have 1-on-1 coverage across the board. Send people in motion and get your good WR lined up on a crappy corner.

But mainly, I ran the ball 24 times and threw only 15. I wasn't using Jacksonville - I was using Logan's Falcons. Big T.J. Duckett just steamrolled through his defense for 11 yards a carry. In hindsight, I should have run the ball even more, but I was always tempted to hit the home-run pass against 1-on-1 coverage. Pull out your heavier, more pounding back, even if his overall rating is 20 points lower.
