So my XBox just received the red ring of death (the dreaded error 74) after four years with no problems. It is going to be at least a two week turn around time for repairs, if not three. Go ahead and sim my games ( I think I just have AI opponents left). I’d love to come back and compete in the playoffs if I stay in contention and get the Xbox back in time, but if not, I really enjoyed playing with you all this season.
No matter what, I’m definitely up for joining another league or season if you all continue, be it in Madden 11 or 12. Good luck to everyone in the rest of season.
Ugh. Lost to the AI Cowboys. My season is teh overz.
That’s how my season started. I feel your pain.

That just puts you at 7-7. If the Eagles lose you are still in the lead and if they win you are both at 7-7 with 2 games left.
Did the difficutly level get dropped?
My team had a ridiculous game against the Bills. At the start of the 4th quarter I subbed out half my players. Furthermore, my defense was insane in the 1st half registering more sacks and INT’s than I’d ever seen.
I’d passed to so many guys I seriously contemplayed putting some CB’s in at receiver just for fun. The third quarter I just let the cpu play to slow things down, and my guys still kept scoring.

The Bills are terrible without a human running them.

Shouldn’t you be throwing to Brandon Marshall instead of posting here? ;)
Vikings / Packers in the books. AI Packers are tough. Vikings QB You worked on his mindlink with Percy Harvin to bring it home for Minnesota.
Hypnotoad and I haven’t scheduled Brandon’s playdate yet.

<sledge hammer>Whore Brandon Marshall a bit more why don’t you.</sledge hammer>
Because I am such a nice guy (i.e. - I love playing Madden), I would be happy to take over any AI teams that make to the playoffs. ;)
My game against the Raiders would indicate not. I barely eeked out a 13-3 victory (the final TD was an end of the game reward to Ryan Matthews who got the living crap beat out of him all game).
But my offense has been atrocious of late. Our next game against the Hypnotoad will be a pretty good indicator of how much of a paper tiger the Bolts really are. I’d like to change my offense, but with Vincent Jackson dislocating his kneecap (2weeks) we are just going to get even more conservative.
So we’ve got the Bears-Bucs, Chefs-Dolphins, and the Battle of St Louis still to play this week. GET TO IT, LADIES!
Don’t we have until Wednesday?
Well, yes, but I’m itching to get to my Week 16 game that decides the fate of the AFC East and the future prosperity of mankind. Will we be led into a golden age behind the heroic underdogs in the green-and-white, or will we be sucked down into the dystopic future of suffering and corruption represented by ptui Miami?
But hey, no pressure! Go play dem Chiefs!
The heroic underdogs with the best corner in the league?
I believe the Cardinals still have Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. You, on the other hand, have the league’s #2 and #3 MVPs on your squad in “Forgetting” Brandon Marshall and Koa “Bionicle” Misi.
The Jets win as a team. There is no I in TEAM but there’s a WE in WIN… er, in WINE. And you will smell the vintage of our vindication and taste the grapes of our wrath when the day of judgement is at hand! Which is some time in week sixteen, possibly on a locally-televised game, blackout notwithstanding, season tickets still available while supplies last.
There is a Me in Team, though.
Hellens and I will play tomorrow night. For the fate of the…well, that game.
