APF2k8 - Legends League S2 - Week 7

Week 7 is off and running. Good luck everyone. Except whomever plays me. I need the win.

Oh, do you know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Oh, do you know the muffin man,
That lives on Drury Lane?

Oh, seriously? Clash of the Titans in week 7? Awesome. Let me know when you can play, Grumpicus. Oh, wait... Eeeee. Free game. I wanted to earn it. Dang RROD.

Jay whenever do you want to play. i'm good anynight just let me know.

Well, Muffin and I got our game in, and let's just say it lived up to the hype, sort of. He scored two early TD's on me, but missed an XP to lead 13-0. I had also missed a chipshot FG. But I fought back with two INTs, and a strong ground game, and found myself up 17-13 with 16 seconds left in the half. Yeah, he hit a Hail Mary to go up 20-17 at the half.

After a scoreless third quarter, Muffin extended his lead to 27-17 on Billy Sims third TD of the day. But I was able to drive straight back, with Montana throwing his third TD of the day to Ben Coates. Yes, Billy sims scored another damn TD. It is now 34-24. But Montana was not done either, as he hits Maynard with 1:08 left in the 4th, Gunslingers now down 34-31.

I recovered the onsides kick!

After getting to the 50 yard line, Montana throws his only INT of the day with :47 seconds left.

Untouchables remain undefeated. But we are definitely looking forward to a rematch in the playoffs!

Good game, Ruthless!

Wow. Sounds like a great game. And Ruthless is officially human which bodes well for me next week.

Okay, not really, but it sounds good. Maybe he'll rest his starters.

ChrisLTD -- When is a good time to play? Tomorrow or Saturday nights might be best for me, but I could maybe squeeze in a game tonight. Usually I'll be available after 10 pm right coast time.

Baggachipz

When is good for you? Almost any day after 5:30pm central I can get the game in.

Word. How's tomorrow during the day?

Works for me.

How about 3:00 PM EST today?

Scratch Saturday during the day for me. Gotta go pick up my fiancee's wedding dress in Nashville at 3:00 CST. I'll be around tonight late and Sunday during the day pretty much all day.

D'oh, and I won't. Going to Atlanta tonight, coming back late tomorrow night. So... monday?

Monday night works for me.

What time? I'm hanging around now...

Sorry bagga I was ready to play and something came up about 10 min before you jumped on. We're definately on tomorrow night.

Glad to see everyone having fun, looking forward to getting back into the league soon.

Only a few more weeks to go.

Sorry Chris. I was in bed by about 9 pm and had an early morning today...maybe tonight? Not sure what my schedule will be, but I'll be on the look out for you.

Is there only one game in this week? Am I seeing the schedule right?

I'm the one that should be apologizing. Anyways, I'll be on tonight... I'll start checking periodically after 7:00 pm and until midnight.

Good game Bagga.

I dominated the first half, Bagga dominated the 2nd half. Unfortunately for me the 2nd half is the important one.

I'm still trying to figure out how that happened. When OJ sliced through my defense for that 65 yard run, I thought it was over. When your noname kicker drilled a 52-yarder (!!!), I thought it was over. That last clock-eating (yes, cLock) drive was what really did it for me. That was a good game, I can't believe I had the higher score in the end.

Great game, Chris!

In the battle for last place, I came out ahead...wait, behind? I won. The game. But it was close. Not that much happened in the 1st half. I scored 3 on the first drive, then Chris scored on a 66 yard pass on his first possession. He almost should have scored earlier on a monster 50+ yard run by Ottis Anderson, but a holding call negated the run. I managed a TD in my with 18 seconds left in the half on a drive dominated by OJ Simpson. (8 plays, 7 to OJ, including 5 runs).

The end of the third quarter saw me down 13-14 after Chris' Sailors scored on the opening drive. Then we turned things up a bit, with 29 total points scored in the 4th quarter!

I was up 29- 21 after scoring a long TD and a FG following a defensive stop. But Chris took only one play to score with a double-covered Jerry Rice. (As a side note: I hate that bastard.)

Down 27-29, Chris went for two, calling a gutsy QB sneak from a 4 WR+1 TE set. Thankfully my D-line and a random linebacker stopped the push, and I came away with the win.

Very fun to the end!

Damnit...no stats showing up on the website...

I saw where Grumpicus got his 360 back in the rrod thread. No free wins for you DS!

I was planning to jump back in for Week 8 but if there's still time, I could probably get a game in this weekend (but not tonight).

He hasn't rolled the week forward yet. I can't speak for anyone else, but I myself I don't mind waiting a few more days so you guys can get your game in. Seems like the fair thing to do.

Well if ours is the only game left, roll the week... I'm pretty sure I'm way out of playoff contention anyway.

The other side of the coin is that it looks like a very tight race for the playoffs is developing for this last week. I would hate to see someone not make it because someone else got a free win.

If this season has flex scheduling, can you just do the game at a later time, or does rolling a week forward cut off all the previous weeks' games?
