APF2k8 - Legends League S1 - Week 5

DS,

Sorry we couldn't get together this weekend. When you msg me Saturday night wanting to play I already had one too many beers in me and didn't wanna blow a game because I was tipsy. If you wanna shoot for Monday night I should be around anytime after 6:00 central time.

Monday or Tuesday will be fine. Let's go with Monday so we have Tuesday for a fallback. 9:30c ok with you?

Alrighty, I'll plan on monday at 10:30 my time. I'll let you know in advance if I can should anything change, but I'm usually at home with time to myself on monday nights so it shouldn't be a problem :)

Confirming tonight at 10:30e/9:30c.

Kush,

I can play any night this week. Any time good for you?

Sounds good, Gumbie. Minus time zone difference.

I should be home after 7pm PST and I'll be able to play then. Hopefully that works for you.

At the moment I'm still good to go.

*edit*

I haven't looked at the schedule in detail to check yet, but are we the only two that have a rematch game?

Hey Bagga, Tues or Wed is fine with me this week, I bowl on Thurs and Fri nights.

At a glance and only comparing this week to week 1, yes.

Let's go for Tues. night. How's 10:00 Eastern sound?

J?

Sorry Grump, I fell asleep on the couch waiting for 10:30

I'd been asleep before 8pm the last four nights and I just didn't make it

Can we try tonight?

I may be out with the Austin GWJ contingent. Watch this thread for more details when I get them.

Frankie -- As I said last night, I can't play tonight. Any chance we can do tomorrow night late (e.g., 11 pm Eastern)?

Yeah, that sounds good, see you at 10pm

J, I finally got some solid plans. I could probably squeeze a game in about 6/6:15c if you get this message in time. Other than that, I'll probably be back too late for us to play (especially what with you going to bed at 8 and all ;)). I'll check this thread around 6 to see if we're on or not.

I'll check back in again in a few.

You are gonna KILL me. I swear I've never been this difficult, honest. Every time I set a time, something important enough comes up that I can't blow it off and play the game. Can we try for tomorrow night, same time? I'm really sorry.

J, I'm off. No worries that we couldn't hook up tonight. It was a slim chance anyway. Tomorrow should work for me at my usual time if that's ok with you.

Eh, I was knee deep in TF2.

Tomorrow it is.

Bagga, it's funny, I just saw this, I wound up falling asleep watching the Mets and waking up 2 hours after we were supposed to play, so it's all good, lol. I don't know if tomorrow is going to be good now unfortunately, but I may be able to play Friday at 10pm. It's been a weird week. We'll think of something.

Ha, nice. Yeah, it has been a weird week indeed. I'll be on Friday at 10 PM, most likely playing Gears. If it turns out that you can play tonight, I'll be available; just post a message here.

DS,

Lemme know what's good for you and I'll be there.

After quite a nutty week I'm at work early today and plan on being home by 6:30 pst at the latest. Let's try to connect. I'd like to try to get this week wrapped up soon so we can keep rolling. I'd rather baggachipz was the drag on the season moving forward than me.

I keed, I keed

9:30c/10:30e still work for you? I hope so b/c it looks like I'm going to be soloing the kids tonight and there's no way I can play before they're in bed. Even later is even better but I understand that even 10:30e is rough on you. Thanks for that.

10:30 isn't normally rough for me on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. It shouldn't be tonight. I was up till about 2am last night. The only thing that makes monday night hard is that I've been up since 2am monday morning when my alarm goes off to wake me up for work

I'll be fine for tonight. I'll hop on live around 10ish if I'm not already on for something else and you can just let me know when you're ready to play

About to put the kids in bed. Should be on time.

I'm online now, Gumbie, if you're ready. If you don't pop on in the next hour I might step out for 30 minutes, though.

Hey grump, a friend and I are going to try and sneak in a quick game of Company of Heroes. I already signed the 360 onto live though. If I'm not instantly responsive don't worry. I'll be there shortly

Great game man. I spent all week figuring this would be the end of my happy little streak.

And again, crazy hurry up offense there at the end. Good playin with ya.

Crap.

What a great game frankie and I just played. He pulled it out 31-28. I scored a TD with under 2 minutes and didn't recover an onside kick. I stopped him on a 4th down play and got the ball with 30 sec left in the game. I ran one play in which I got sacked, but frankie got called for a late hit, putting me on the 50. But, that was problematic. The game restarts the clock after the penalty, but boots me back into the play calling screen. No hurry up. I get a pass off, completed to Dwight Clark at frankie's 30, but the snap went off with under 5 sec to go, and I couldn't get him out of bounds before time ran out. I missed a very makeable FG in the third that would have helped a lot.

This was just a crazy game. No punts. Both QBs over 70% completion. My Cunningham had a rating of 154.9, 309 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs. That last sack was *the only one of the game by either team.* Frankie held the ball on his initial possession so long that I only got two offensive plays in the first quarter. He had almost double my time of possession. He ran 46 plays, I ran 23.

I think this would have turned out better for me if I'd figured out what to do about Lofton before the two minute warning...

Great game, frankie. That puts me at 1-4, with a 4 game losing streak. I think I'm officially out of the play-offs!

I've played Rice, Marino, Cambell, OJ...you name it.

BUT I've never had my ass handed to me like I just did against DS and his generic QB Mark Blake.

Good game DS. If you offense plays like that the rest of the season I feel sorry for your opponents.

After some staring at the stats on the website it appears that my defense is absolutely carrying my ass.

Third in points allowed with only 69 (two of you are tied at only 66 points allowed) and of the times I've allowed other teams into the redzone they've only scored on 63.6%, which is best in the league.

How that's working out with the team I've got here I have no idea.
