Season One, Week 11 results

Niners 21 Bears 24 OT.

Niners feel like they threw this one away after building up a 21-7 HT lead. Gore trampled all over the bears who kept their cool with some long completions when they looked like they might have to punt. Some untimely interceptions cost me, one after a drive to the red zone on the 15 in the third quarter and one in overtime. Missed a long FG to win it at the end of the fourth. Bears missed their first FG in OT and it looked like it might be a tie till I threw to a covered WR. I don't have the stats but Gore had 190 and SF had 400 odd yards total, I just have to put teams away.

You also had nine sacks i just couldn't get anything going in the first three quarters think I was really lucky to get a win out of this like you said Gore was impossible to stop he just ran through me for fun.Well played and good luck for the rest of the season

Cheers, I'm sure well have at least one more game during the next two seasons so ill be out for revenge. Just gotta cut the bad throws. Big win for you avoiding the 4-6 could have saved your season.

Wow, I would not want to be Tom Brady in Foxborough tonight. Dude was getting booed out of the stadium some time after his 3rd pick. Throwing a 4th one didn't help.

Team|1|2|3|4|Final
Colts|3|17|7|0|27
Team Gronk|0|7|0|15|22


I think it is safe to say that my gameplan of "Throw it to Gronk" is well and truly scuppered. 2 weeks in a row now that people have manually covered him. He wasn't even my highest yardage receiver this week :eek:

Big Daddy Cool

wow some sweaty palms near the end of the Colts Patriots game there :eek:, thought the Pats were going to get me but Donald Brown over 100 yards rushing and a TD and another TD from who else but Coby Fleener got me over the line in the end.

Falcons beat the Cardinals 47-32 or something like that? I can't remember the score exactly as I had to go and didn't have time to look at the stats. I know Matt Ryan had a decent game, as did Skelton. A pick 6 by either side kept it close until late in the game when the Falcons started to pull away. However, the Cardinals didn't go away and were able to make it a very competitive game.

Good luck with the rest of your season Cards

What happened to not running up the score?

I didn't attempt a first/second down pass in the second half.

adrian522

So we can score as much as we like as long as there are no passes on first and second down? Must have missed that in the rules.piling on the points like that when the game is already won is out of order as far as I'm concerned. No excuse for it.

So I should spend 10 minutes of my life deliberately playing badly?

You can do whatever you want I guess.

Punting/FGs

matthew8

I haven't broken any rule. There's nothing in the rules about choosing to take a field goal/punt rather than actually run some plays. We have rules about fake field goals and fake punts because we wouldn't see them in the NFL (even though I counted 4 last Sunday), yet we're meant to just fall on the ball and kick FGs once we get a lead? I have never ever seen that in the NFL.

Read the new rules, I'm presuming Buccs are CPU?

No... I was however organising the game on the fixture list thread.

Pudsy33

He's entitled to still play the game lads, I really don't see the issue. It's not like he was throwing hail marys to run up the score.

You can't score on the thread! I've no issue with 2 guys chatting and the score being heavily in favour of one player

Is this a wind up or something? What does a mic have to do with anything?

Raoul

Lads, no more talk on the subject please!! Once again if you have a problem with someone pm the commish!!!

Santry will deal with this situation as I am in Matthew's division.

My reaction to an 80 yard touchdown pass by a guy without a mic:
"You ****ing lucky piece of ****! **** this game! **** Madden! This is a ****ing joke! This guy is a ****ing lucky arsehole!"

My reaction to an 80 yard touchdown pass by a guy I'm chatting to:
"Ahh balls. Nice play man."

It makes an absolutely huge difference to the game if you are chatting with your opponent. Everything is more civil and everything is more enjoyable. If you get beat by 30 points with no chat it's got to be absolutely crap, a mic makes a huge difference.

matthew8

Any other unwritten rules I need to be told about?

helimachoptor

Matthew, what I mean is that (as Adrian says) If I'm 25 behind and someone throws a cracking pass or pulls off a good run and they take the score if mic'd up, I'd say "great play" however and it has happened (not in this league) where someone has been 30+ points ahead with a few mins left, they make a pass and take a TD and tbh it's ****ty, considering I've had lads pick off end zone ints and run it back to the 20 and then take knees.

matthew8

I think I hardly had 20 passing yards in the second half, yet I'm being accused of running up the score. Simple thing is the only thing I could imagine could possibly cheese anyone off is Beason running in the pick 6, but we're trying to be a sim league here, and you never see a defender turn down a TD.

And would everyone shut up about trying to make me get a mic. I swear I've been asked a million times and I have tried it before, I can't concentrate with it on and hate using it. I don't see the point in playing a video game if I feel I can't be myself while playing it because I have a big headset on me and there's someone listening in.

helimachoptor

Matthew I don't talk a huge amount tbh but if someone scores off a great play I come off mute to say well done, you don't need constant chat IMO just to let your opponent know you're there

Edit: never mind not worth it this conversation has been had

Raoul

Seriously lads, just stop talking about it. Its up to Santry at the moment. And lay off telling Matthew to get a mike. He has said it to me already that he can't wear it, lets just leave it at that!

SantryRed

This will be dealt with in the morning lads.

Right lads,

There's nothing much to be said here I feel.

We ask that people respect their opponent and not run up the score. By that, we mean not taking the piss and being up loads and still running tonnes of pass plays and getting back to the line quickly trying to put up more scores.

It also depends what people feel is a comfortable lead. This is coming from me, a guy who threw away a 24 point lead with 7 minutes left in the NFC Championship game last season.

The one thing I will say is that the Beason Interception return is slightly disrespectful but then again that's personal preference, I would slide down after picking him off but some people would rather the defense got a score, they both happen in the NFL.

I have not received any messages from gufc complaining about anything so I haven't even got that to go on. What I will say is, if you feel someone was running up the score on you in a game, please PM myself or Raoul.

Thanks.
