maxox, can we reschedule? I've had something come up. Either tomorrow night or Friday night at the same time will be fine with me.

Let's shoot for Friday night around 10:30p EST.

I'll be there. Thank you, sir!

frankie, I can play for roughly the next hour. Otherwise, tomorrow I will be home at a normal time. We have all the house stuff done we need done for right now.

You, let me know I was on waitng for 3, hours last night and 2, the night before I'm not going on into you know

Yeah, I completely understand. Just two crummy nights back to back for me. I should be around tonight from roughly 8pm PST until midnight PST. But since I've been a flake don't wait for me. Just maybe log on if you can during those times. If I'm there we'll play. Sorry about the last couple nights.

fyedaddy i was on last night. when do you want ro play this game

Three games down - three to go!

Holy crap, where's our report about the Baggachipz v. Elliottx game?? An OT win for Elliottx, 48-42, and we get nothing?? Just looking at the stats, Bagga ran the ball twice, once by John Elway, and only completed 48% of his passes. However, 33% of the completed passes (5) were for TDs!

On the other side, Dave Meggett racks up 184 yards rushing with 3 TDs while Randall Cunningham rushes for 2 TDs and throws another??

You're telling me none of this is exciting enough to warrant some summary in this thread??

For shame!

It was a great game. I started and ended the game with a 5 minute td drive. As the stats show, if Bagga completed a pass there was a high chance he was taking it to the house. Time of Posession was 7 minutes for Bagga and 20 minutes for the Badgers.

One of the funnier parts was where I had thrown a long pass to Ditka and he was approaching the end zone so I had him go into taunt walking. Well one of Bagga's secondary came in and nailed him at the one yard line sending the ball flying out of bounds at the 1 yard line.

With around 2 minutes left I was up by 14 points. Bagga quickly scored, kicked an onside kick, recovered and quickly scored again. There was still 30 seconds on the clock but my team can't move the ball quickly. The game was decided with who won the overtime coin-toss. I won the toss, I'm pretty sure I only passed once the entire drive and that was a 20 yard bailout to Mike Ditka as it was 3rd and 19. And then I just grinded the ball out until I eventually was in the endzone.

If it wasn't for Bagga's 2 interceptions, I'm pretty sure he would've won as my team played as perfectly as possible.

I want an explanation about Meggett more than anything else. Holy ****.

By the way, Frankie's defense is good. REALLY good.

I have no defense whatsoever. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I may have to completely junk my playbook.

As for frankie, his DL is something else, and will really control many passing games. There just isn't a lot you can do to stop it. Especially if you are sending your TE out on pass routes every play.

Sorry Muffin. I got ambushed by a nasty work/home schedule the last few days. I plan to be online tonight maybe even as early as 9:30 PM CST. If that doesn't work, I should be home enough this weekend to carve out enough game time to get this done.

Frankies Defense isn't that good. When i play with him i forget that he has jack youngblood on his team because his name never comes up same with reggie (the great) white. oh yeah thats because billy sims is already past them by that point.

I'll be on for a bit tonight for my whooping Sloth. Although I fear, by making the S's look like the Syracuse Orange, I have doomed myself to a totally barren year of incompetence.

Let's just remember this Ruthless Muffin/Cupcake can't play Defense either. If you control the ball and make sure you score Touchdowns, this gets Cupcake, mad you all can beat the Cupcake Muffin. Don't get into a passing attack battle vs Cupcake, also watch for his flea flicker play after you score. Time to beat the Cupcake he's not that good.

He didn't run around the corners like you'd think, either. He just followed his fullback up the middle for five yards (or more) every time. I thought I could get by with two bronze LBs but it's pretty obvious I should have picked up a safety. At this rate, an Earl Campbell or the like could easily plow through a 500 yard game. Oh, and the Superfans are right - Ditka is utterly unstoppable. I would have three guys on him and he'd shrug them off and catch the ball like a machine.

My new-look "chuck and pray" offense will require some work, as I made a few poor throwing decisions and paid dearly for them. Also, my gold and sliver receiver each had a few costly unforced drops. In the end, he absolutely deserved to win the game, and getting it into overtime was dumb luck on my part. Well played, Elliot.

Great game Fyedaddy last night

I love Ditka in this game, hell all the TE's are nigh unstopable. Thats why I decided to not take one this season and see how I fared.

Prederick -- I may not be able to make a game tonight, depending on how all goes.

Everyone else -- that means I may not get a game in before Wed./Thur. next week. Please move on, and Pred. and I will pick up our game when time allows if we can't get it in tonight.

I had a good time. The final score was probably a little higher than necessary but the game was a good introduction into APF online for me. I'll spend some time putting together a playbook for my next match and go from there.

This game gets better each time I play it.

Are we stuck on game one till Sloth gets back? I dont even know if he has played or not - heh

Nope, unfortunately I had to bail before I could get the game in. I think we...or rather everyone else should move on to week 2. Not a worry. I get back late Wednesday. I'll check in with Pred then. If not, we'll get it in on Thursday.

Firesloth when you get back hit me up for the tourntment game that we have too

Pred, while waiting for Sloth to get back, we could still get our game in for week 2, if you are agreeable. My availablilty is pretty wide open these days. Day/Night, Weekday/Weekends. Whatever works for you.

I'm open tonight, say 9 PM or so.

Is that CST?

We can indeed roll on to week 2 with the flex schedule. I'll officially roll the schedule forward once all games are in.

Hey, Prederick, I'm back...I'll try to look for you tonight if you're around.

If Pedrick, can't play tonight Firesloth, we are week 2. If you want to play I will be on after 9 eastern
