I just assumed you were going to win in a run away after that happened. The two rollouts, throws across your body, to the middle of field, for completions also had me wondering if I was going to be able to hold onto the lead. Tough game. Your defense is always tough to go against. I catch you getting over aggressive sometimes, but it seems like you know what's coming more often than not.

Franklin is more accurate when he is moving, save the PA bootleg where DGB was open if I throw it anywhere in front of him-but I digress. I remember the one where I hit Lucas going against the grain and Josey on the 4th down late. Feels like when he is in the pocket it's more errant throws.

As for defense, could you tell I had a bunch of FR playing? They would do the stupid run with the ball carrier move instead of tackling. Then I controlled a few times and over ran the play. I like my strategy for defense, but the horses just aren't quite there yet. I need my DE to be able to beat one on one blocking occasionally, and he didn't once tonight. All my pressure came off blitzes or the one screen you ran.

Good game piney. Crazy game with several runs.

Yeah good game. Not too crazy though...

What the hell Piney, lose to the new guy in week 1. Make us all look bad :wink:

Welcome to the league OneBuckeye. I see you had a pretty balanced attack against Piney with a big time performance from your RB.

Well, you know I suck at this game :wink2:


OneBuckeye;2230302; said:
Thanks.

The stats don't tell all. I broke an 89 yard run on 3rd and a mile. It was a grind it out game with a few huge plays like that. A pick 6, KO return for TD, etc etc. I felt lucky to escape with the win.

Giovani will in the run for the Heisman though if he can stay healthy.

Yeah, took me too long to adjust to what you were doing and was down 17-0 early. Then I took over the game but a few key breakdowns, that 3rd and 20+ run killed me as I played a soft zone to prevent any big play and I just got out of position to stop the long run. And then a few other plays later that sealed the game for you too. Heck, I tried to let you score but the cpu controlled players wouldn't cooperate, I needed more time to try to make a comeback. (A lil upset that I didn't get out of bounds the 2nd to last play, as I thought I did)

Ugh, IBI beat me like a drum. I was so unbelievably frustrated and forced far too many throws to DGB and ultimately threw 4 picks, but should have been 5. The last three user games I've played I just feel out of sync and incapable of making decisions quickly. Tonight Iron just had me on my heels and his two S just simply covered every bit of real estate I could find.

There was one play where I think I had the ball on the 30 going in, nobody lines up on DGB, he streaks WIDE open and I overshoot him by 5 yards. That was repayment for the ignorant throw I had in the flats on my own 8 that hits a GaTech DB perfectly, but inexplicably drops it.

What the hell fanatic... ya making the SEC look bad by losing to Iron :biggrin:

Can't believe the SEC is 0-2 against the lowly ACC :roll1:

I had the game freeze on me too. I don't think that I lost the 5 hours of recruiting, because I've had this happen before in the other dynasty. The guys that I scouted are now showing a 0 OVR rating, but the scouting should show up once we advance. At least that's what happened the last time this happened to me.

So Iron, did this happen for you? It hasn't yet for my guys :(

Or, do you have to scout them again and then all the old scouting stuff will come back?

I can. I laid in bed watching the football game and thinking about my game with IBI. I am more mad this morning about the loss than I was last night. Too many forced throws where I locked on to one WR and I abandoned my game plan too quickly. I switched away from the spread option running game in hopes I don't have the injury bug this year. Then I didn't take advantage of what was available and kept throwing deep.

Now I'm gone for two days to sulk in my misery.


As for recruiting, I'm taking a different approach. I'm going after a bunch of big fish in hopes of finding some immediate impact players. Unfortunately I didn't move like I would have hoped on several key players. I moved from 8-9 to 4-6 on a couple of guys. In preseason I only had one 5* where I was in top 10 and only 10 4* guys. But after the preseason I was in on a total of 28 4-5*, so that's good I guess. I have a feeling this could be a feast or famine year.

Olaf, I'm holding up the other dynasty, so I need to get that game in tonight, and I should probably spend some time with my wife too. How does Thursday night sound? Anytime between 6PM and 10PM works for me.

No.

No. I don't think it's coming back. I must've "mis-remembered".

Yeah, I was just hoping you were right as I didn't recall getting that scouting back.

Just sucked that 9+ hours of scouting all my top targets are gone. Just wished I got more key attributes unlocked and written down. dang it

It's almost as bad for me, and I won the damn game. I don't remember the interception that I threw, but the fumble inside the 20 still has me pissed. There was no way I should've tried the pitch. Even if I got it out the RB was covered. I was just lucky that your guy was already on the ground when he recovered. The missed pick six on the 8 yard line. The two or three other picks that bounced off my guys hands. The sack that I took because you sniffed out the screen. If I go back to "original play-call", and run the counter to the other side, it's at least an 8 or 10 yard gain. Three of my top 4 receivers are 6'5" and I still overshot them on corner routes that would've resulted in first downs. The third and 8 where I ran up the middle, ran into the back of my center, broke free, had a wide open lane to the first down, and my RB just fell down two yards short, forcing me to punt.

Missed opportunities all over the place...for both of us.

As for going away from the read option to try and avoid injuries. You injured my #1, #2, and #4 RBs last night. Sims (my #1) was just knocked out of the game, so he'll be back. Zenon (my #2) was just knocked out for a series, but I don't know the status of Perkins (#4). All four guys are pretty evenly rated, but Sims and Perkins are my hammers. Losing both of them really screwed up my game plan.

I thought that it came back for me in the other dynasty. It was late in the season, and I must've already had some of the attributes scouted in previous weeks. I don't know, man. I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it used to be. :tongue2:
