We have progressed over the last few days, but there is still alot of football to be played. I would try to wrap up as amny game as you can this weekend, as we all know things can be hectic during the week. Ruff I would strongly advise you becoming available soon so you can be awarded the wins owed to you.

GGs... Safranek is "Orlando Scandrick"
He's a rookie out of Boise State, so I instantly wanted him on my team. I asked before the season and it was Okayed. Also, I didn't want to have 3 DBs but I had to add him on!!! And I've been switching guys in and out with the Cowboys... I had Greg Ellis one year, Zach Thomas, Flozell Adams, etc. I was just switching it up again this year and it looks like it's working: 8-1!!
Oh, okay. I just didn't know who he was.

Hey Eb, I tried having my opp. quit when I've won, but that isnt working, so unless you can think of something else i guess you'll have to sim all my games. My rec is currently 6-2. If you have a solution post it here and I'll get my games in this weekend, if not then I guess there's nothing we can do but sim my games and wait for next season. I've been activly online, just not here for this reason.

May 23rd, 2008, 02:46 PM
Oh and by the way, you guys are killing me with this career day stuff. LMFAO. Lumburgh from office space, cmon why you guys gotta do me like that. In between jobs, NO. A plumber, me and Brand work together? NO (dont think so anyway) Construction? NO ( I used to)
Drumroll please..... I Mr. ruffnuts21 am a mailman.
Anyway like I said I havent been around because I cant get my games to record, even if my opp. quits. So unless we figure something out, playing my games is pointless.

eb iunno wut happened man but it wont let me back on btw its 7-0 me correct???
Ebineezer
May 23rd, 2008, 05:13 PM
As for the score. Come on man it was the first play of the game. I think thats a bit petty. We usually fix the score if it a bit into the game, but Willie Parker scored on the first play of the game. When me and Higgus played I intercepted his past and was moving chains before the server went down. But I didn,t ask for the ball back when we played again, because it was only the second drive of the game. No big deal! 3rd or 4th quarter would be totally different. If we do do something to that nature we may pick up the game from where it left off because the majority of the game has been played. But not in this case. Let me know when you can play again.
EDIT:
You know what, you got it 7-0!

I was bitten 7 months ago(my first and only) ironicly in the thigh, I face a dog encounter often. I carry mase and twice a year we have a police dog come in for training.
I believe all mailmen thoughout all the states make the same amount(based on how long you work there, since we get raises, and we go up levels based on longevity)
It sucks that this season is a waste for me, but o'well cant do nothing about it. As far as next year goes I'm going back to the pats, and I'm claiming them as my team. The Moss toss is coming back. GL all.
O and as a side gig (you guys are gonna laugh) I play texas holdem down at the casinos in Detroit. One day your gonna see me on T.V, and I aspire to play poker for a living.
Big M
May 23rd, 2008, 06:58 PM
I can't wait to play you next season Ruff. I've been playing around with my first version of the Bengals (I'll probably edit some abilities and stuff) and my passing game thus far has been great. I've heard you threw like, 70 touchdowns with the Pats? That's ridiculous. Ocho Cinco versus the New 81.
Do you have any idea why dogs hate mailmen?
Poker? I can see it now: "And this is newcomer, John Doe (I have no idea what your names is, so that's it for now), who has been known to call himself Ruffnuts on occasion. I can only guess what he means by that..."

Hmm. So all of Ruff's games count as wins for his opponents? In that case, the Vikings end the season with a 10-6 record, and another press conference (to be posted within the next few minutes).
PRESS CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!
"This is the News Guy from your one and only, Gridiron Network. The Vikings, led by the great (and young) Coach M. Coach M has always had something to say about his team and season, and this is no different. In fact, I was able to get an exclusive interview with him, his first interview ever!!! Here it is..."
News Guy: Well, hello Coach M, How are you doing?
Coach M: Pretty good News Guy. Just found out about the team being awarded a win, so we go 10-6. Really excited about our chances this season.
NG: Do you think you can win without star receiver Bernard Berrian? He was the leading receiver when he went down, and is still the second-leading receiver. Do you really think you can succeed without him?
CM: You know, News Guy, it all depends on Brian (McGee), we gotta keep him protected in the pocket and our receivers have to start catching the ball better. If Mr. All-Day can keep churning out the yards, we'll be fine.
NG: Speaking of, Adrian Peterson has just been a beast for you guys this season. To what do you contribute his success?
CM: The kid's got skill. Plain and simple. We've got some crap linemen out there, but Adrian works with what he's got.
NG: What about the announcement that you'll be going to Cincinnati this season? Do you think it will distract your team, or even affect it in any way?
CM: Nah. These guys are smart. They know not to let stuff like that bother them. They're like little computer guys out there. All they know is football; none of the other stuff.
NG: One last question before I let you go. How far do you think your team will go in the playoffs?
CM: All the way. Buh-bye.
"And that's all folks. Coach M has some major confidence in his team. Reporting like from Minneapolis, I'm the News Guy, with the Gridiron Network."

Archers lose twice tonight. Final game vs Dallas "will be treated like a playoff game."
Boise, you are my last game and I desperately need a win to make the playoffs. At 6-9, the Archers are in danger of not making the playoffs.
In other news, CB Patrick Surtain had a brick thrown through his window and his mother has been receiving threatening phone calls. All this after Patty Cakes Surtain has had one of the worst seasons ever for a Gridiron cornerback.

Ruff you totally through me off with this, especially with the Texas Holdem part. Amazing......I never would have saw this coming. Though if you were to play on ESPN or something, I could see you losing the game and flipping the table over, punching camera men etc. I look forward to the return of your Patriots, hit me up for some pre-season games. With that being said KJ when can you play, I think I can still make the playoffs.

Big M
May 24th, 2008, 12:04 PM
Sure? No. But I think he will. The Bengals rejected trade offers for him that would give them 1st round picks. Teams don't do that unless they still want the guy.
KingJames77
May 24th, 2008, 12:06 PM
they may want him which im pretty sure neteam would but it could be that the bengals rnt looking for draft picks but rather players in return for 85
Big M
May 24th, 2008, 12:10 PM
Maybe, but who in the NFL would warrant trading Ocho Cinco?
KingJames77
May 24th, 2008, 12:13 PM
Very good question but marvin lewis made it very clear that he'd like 85 to live up to his word and sit out which shows me a coach who no longer has the desire to put up with him anymore so when and if he gets traded who ever he goes to will be a serouis threat so if i was u id make a team with and without 85 just incase

If he is the last person everyone is waiting on we can get to the playoffs and get on wiht next season. KJ if your out their don't panic, just get some games played:D The season isn't set to end until three more days but I think just about everyone has their season done, and we can definetley get the ball rolling for GRIDIRON VII.

Clutch - "Players performance is best in all clutch situations and games."
In my opinion they are all big occasion players, who can turn it on when needed. You are correct in saying they have never been to the playoffs, but I don't believe you need to get into the play-offs to be a clutch player.
To be honest, Edwards had Route God and Winslow had Speed Burner in my original team build, but I thought this would make them superman-like so I substituted them for an intangible. It wasn't a conscious decision to give them the same attribute, I haven't really found players with clutch gain a massive advantage over others.
Surely, the time to critique my team would have been prior to the season when I posted it on the forum. Not straight after our game.
I think the key factors in our game was Jamal Lewis rushing for 120 yards and the two key interceptions Kitna threw.
Good game by the way.

You should keep Tatum Bell. He was beastly. It may have just been bad D on my part, but I think Bell will do good for you, especially since you've got all those receivers for everyone to focus on. No one will think to watch him like they watch Roy, Calvin, and Mack, so defenses will drop back, leaving him wide open for a dive or draw every once in a while.

Antrel Rolle is a free safety. They moved him there this offseason. I know what I'm doing. Anyways X, I remember when you had Boss Bailey on your Cardinals team when he was really on the Lions.
I would put Carson Plamer at Gold and move Chad Johnson down to silver just because he's practically not on the team anymore. But it's your choice. (oh, and maybe tone down T.J.'s skin, HE'S INDIAN!) And one more thing, I don't think Palmer is a rocket and laser arm. At least not at silver. I'd say leadership and pocket presence. Have you thought about running a hurry-up style offense like the Bengals do in real life?
As for Rolle's speed burner, I watched a few videos on NFL.com and he seemed pretty fast to me. I would almost never give any player Closing Speed because the game doesn't define what the ability really is. Is it fast to the pass like Ball Hawk, fast to the run like Run Reader/Coverage? Stupid ability.

May 25th, 2008, 04:53 PM
I'll change Rolle to something else like quick feet, but in defense of having him a speed burner: Speed Burner is about having elite speed for your position. A corner converted safety would have top-end speed for a safety, right?
BrandH
May 25th, 2008, 04:54 PM

May 25th, 2008, 04:56 PM
I'm trying to tell you how to make your team, M, but what's with Deltha O'Neil at silver? He's Cincy's third cornerback. Your TE, Ben Utecht, probably doesn't have soft hands. I would say bulldozer. He was behind Dallas Clark in Indianapolis and they primarily brought him in inside the redzone in 2 TE formations.
Takles Willie Anderson and Levi Jones aren't bad players either!!!!!!

May 25th, 2008, 05:19 PM
But Guava, is TJ good at gold? I'm gonna go change the team now and I want to know if I should change this. Two questions about the recommendations:
Would Leadership and Rocket Arm work? I wanna be able to throw it deep and I think Carson can, but I'm not sure if he can do it well enough to deserve Rocket Arm.
And could I give Strength to Utecht? Would that help his blocking?
I honestly didn't know about O'Neal being the third corner. I check NFL.com yesterday and it had him as the starter, so I went with that. I guess Leon Hall is the starter now?
Ebineezer
May 25th, 2008, 05:59 PM
M I think Palmer can definetley get away with rocket arm. AS for TJ, it's up to Quality control. I'm not negating that he is solid, I just think he is a STRONG silver. But again, he does come up in clutch situations. I just think from a overall perspective, if you compare him to the other GOLDS in this league and the NFL, he doesn't match up to Gold. I guess it could go either way. I just don't think he is a as much a threat as Roy Williams, TO, Ocho, R.Moss, S. Moss, Hines Ward, Braylon Edwards, Steve Smith, Marvin Harrison, etc. Again, I know your solid with making players, so I know it wasn't to get a advantage over any one. But I just don't think he is the 2nd best player on the Bengals. But if you and quality control work it out, I will respect the decision that was made:thumbsup:
Big M

I think Chad Johnson and Carson Palmer are the golds on the Bengals, but I think having Housh at gold is still well in-bounds.
guava9
May 25th, 2008, 06:45 PM
Rocket Arm and Leadership sound good for Palmer.
The thing about Housh is that he made the Pro Bowl and I think that alone deserves gold status. But he doesn't seem like he should have 5 abilities. It's up to you. Palmer, Chad, and T.J. all could be gold.
Good game, Brand. After one game, I must say I'm pretty happy with the decision to trade Rolle for Tuck.

As for the Housh M, I stand corrected. I thought about this yesterday why divulging several turkey burgers, and I can honestly say now I agree Housh is Gold. True he did make the Pro Bowl, but it was wrong for me to compare him to other Golds in the league because everyone has different rolls on their team. I think he is over shadowed by number 85 on the other side of the field. And as for his abilities, I think he can get 5 easily. Tough in the middle, Deep threat, Clutch(he comes up in big situations), and Soft hands, just for starters. I'm sure whatever you gave him already, represents his real life abilities. Now what do you say about that rematch in Buf-town.:D

48 Tackles, 13 Assists, 8 Passes Defended, 5 Interceptions, 67 Yards from INTs, 1 Tackle for Loss
Teammate and fellow safety Darren Sharper has been quoted saying, "John's better than I am. No way I could play like he does. He's so fast, such a great tackler, and gets the pick everytime. He's just amazing playing safety. He should definitely get voted in."
Other teammates have chimed in as well. Adrian Peterson: "Everytime in practice that I think I'm going to cut through the defense and take it however many yards for a TD, John is always there, crushing me down. One time he even broke my finger in a non-contact drill. He's like the Chuck Norris of football."
Brian McGee: "It's weird. You hear all this good stuff about Darren playing strong safety, but in practice, I can throw it all over Darren. But when I throw anywhere near Johnny, it's a sure-pick every single time. I'm scared of the guy.
Bernard Berrian: "I know everyone thinks I was injured by that one Carolina guy, but really, I was fine until John came up to me after the play and patted me on the butt (not g. ay or anything. just like one of those Peyton Manning pats). He's so strong that just with that pat, he broke my spine. I'm with Brian, John scares the **** outta me."

Hi, I'm a true sim baller and I'm wondering if it's too late to join this league...
BigM knows me if you need someone who can vouch for my play - by the way I have over 500 games played and a 90% rating...
If it's cool, I'd like to play with the Jaguars since I live in Jacksonville, FL...
Let me know when you can Ebineezer...

Wow, lol, I was just screwin' around in Practice Mode and I put TJ at HB. He runs better than Rudi, by a long shot. He's fast, breaks tackles, and can spin away better than most silver HBs, if not golds. I know I can't use him there, but wow. He is versatile. He even spun away from Ronnie Lott.
I think I know who's gonna have the highest average YAC this season. :cool:

Alright fellas it looks like KJ stood a few people up like the fat lady at the bar again. So I'm thinking about generating the playoffs tonight. I don't think starting one day early is going to effect much. If there are any other games that are scheduled not involving the King let me know and I will hold off until your done. I probaly wont be able to do it until around 8pm.
NEW FEATURE
For the new guys heres what we do when there are unplayed games left when the season cut off date comes around. Based on your league and thread activeness will determine the winner. So for instance, I know GT and a few other guys have been after KJ like a loan shark from the 80's. So because he has been the unavailable one, his opponets will get the win, when I sim games tonight. If it is 2 people who haven't been around and I have to sim the games between the 2. I will split a win in a loss for both out of the two games etc. (Hopefully this explains the process) To some it all up as long as your around the thread or making a ateempt to play games your :thumbsup: . Now the bad part about simming games is that it heightens the chance of one of your stars being injured during the simulation. So here is the new feature I propose. If your game is simmed vs someone who has been playing hookie, and a key player get injured. Next season you will be awarded the win vs this opponet for the amount of games scheduled to play. You will start the game and your opponet will have to quit so you can be awarded the win without injury. But you don't have to, it's just a option. I do know K had a death in the Fam, and that can throw things off. But hopefully K, you'll be available a little more next season.
GRIDIRON VII PRE-SEASON GAMES
We are always active for preseason games, but I must say this holiday weekend I think we played more preseason games in this weekend than any other pre-season. Good job team. At any rate, So we can avoid te Ruff-factor make sure all of your changes are final before you accept your invite. Once the 1st round of thhe playoffs is generated I will be sending out GRIDIRON VII invites once I get the headcount straight. Any progression players please post, as well as get your trades if any out of the way.
Generic of the Year
This is very important for future scouting reports, and also one of the most prestigious GRIDIRON awards. If you have any candidates please forward their stats, and a story if you wish like M did.
GRIDIRON STRAGLERS
For those vets returning this season that took a season off, claim your team so I can update team availability for new comers.(if any is needed)

If we do allow newcomers this season, I just want to say that True is definitely one of the most legit players I've played before. I haven't played any of the other guys, but I know that True is good. I'd recommend him over anyone else unless we need to get two guys.
Big M
May 27th, 2008, 02:27 PM
Oh yeah, here's the team (I think. I may haven't gotten one of Chad's abilities wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's right)....
Cincinnati Bengals- SEASON 7
GOLD
Chad Johnson- Route God, Speed Burner, Acrobatic Catches, Hops, Deep Threat
TJ Houshmandzadeh- Tough in the Middle, Possession Receiver, Quick Feet, Soft Hands, Breakaway Burst
SILVER
Carson Palmer- Rocket Arm, Leadership Ability
Leon Hall- Speed Burner, Ball Hawk
Johnathon Joseph- Coverage Bonus, Quick Feet
BRONZE
Dexter Jackson- Big Hit
Rudi Johnson- Strength Bonus
Dhani Jones- Big Hit
Antwan Odom- Run Coverage
Ben Utecht- Strength Bonus
Keith Rivers- Wrap-Up Tackler
No trade requests, but I will listen to any deal. At this point, no one is untradable, but Chad and TJ will be hard for me to trade, so any deal with them better be good.

Nice game Merv. The Colts looked good. I think you played like you were really enjoying the weapons at your disposal.
As for the Jags, I think its back to the drawing board.
If you keep the Colts, can I have the Niners for Season IX?
Sure, just don't make me look bad and win the championship with them.

I don't know if it matters but KJ & I need to play our game. We got disconnected just after halftime. It needs to be reset and a win would make me 7-9.

Alright ladies the playoffs will be set once we get passed the Wild card round. There is a three way tie between Guav, GT, and myself for the last spot in the playoffs. Since Guav beat me and GT. GT and myself will play for the first round. And the winner between us will play Guav for the last spot in the playoffs. It doesn't look like the injury bug really hit that hard through simulations. Ray Lewis is probable, Guav's WR Owen is doubtful, and M your guy Berry is out as well as Sharper. I think Sharper was already injured. Good Luck to all.
We'll play in our league lobby for the Wildcard game. And since I beat you this season, the game will be in Bmore.:D I may be on after the Lakers game if I'm still up, or if we are routing the Spurs I'll turn the game off early. Either way I'll post in the thread, if I don't fall asleep watching the game.

I would be scared, too. :eek: The funny thing is Jacobs still trucked him in the endzone. :lol:
But then CJ flat out burned the generic I was trying to chase you down with after the catch. Oh, and I forgot to put Rolle on my team for some reason.
