Nice win. LeagueManager is updated with the most recent stats.
Clearly you got the wrong Chiefs running back. Thomas Jones for life!
Hahaha.
Okay, now to head offline and work on my rushing! Clearly.
Yeah, yeah.
After two 360 overheats, the Jets lost to the Cowboys. We lose LT for 8 weeks with a broken collarbone, they lose Jay Ratliff for 11 weeks with a dislocated hip.
This does not bode well at ALL.

Wow, check this out. According to these numbers the Giants, Ravens, and Jets have the best teams counting # of players in the 80-100 range (starters), and when you consider 76-79’ers they’re still tops by far.
According to these same numbers our Super Bowl Winner has the worst team in the league. It truly shows anyone can win with the right gameplay.

Argghh! How can I format this so it looks right?[/I][/B]
Okay, open trade: Mark Sanchez and Antonio Cromartie for a better QB. I am open to offers.
lol, strummer. That Ray Edwards wasn’t for you!
I was intrigued, but then I looked and saw that The Sanchize is rated 86 overall and has considerably better numbers than any QB I have started in our Madden leagues, and that’s three seasons worth. Who do you need under center, Jesus?
At least you still have Shonn Greene. And if there’s anything Madden has taught us, it’s that virtual players by far exceed their real-world counterparts.
Still, ouch.

This is a trade proposal which I’m only offering because of how you played the Titans - as it might be up your alley. Otherwise I know it’s not the best deal. But - if you wanted a very fast QB and moderate CB, I could trade Pat White & Deshea Townsend for your crappy QB (NOT MArk Sanchez) and Antonio Cromartie. That would give you more options for your offensive gameplan.
Pat’s low OVR is due to his poor Deep Throw & Awareness stat - but the rest of his stats are pretty fantastic.

All available: Marshawn Lynch or Fred Jackson. They’d love to head from NY to… NY.
Edwards is just hanging out there as a tease, isn’t he.
Phyrric Victory for the Vikings.
ADP - Out 7 Weeks
“Rodeo” Jared Allen - Out 11 Weeks
As a fellow NFC Norther, let me just say that’s terrible cough.

Mightynute - not sure if you’re considering the QB/CB trade I mentioned a few posts up, but my other CB Jacob Lacey could go too. He’s a little better than Deshea Townsend.
So, the Dolphins opened their season on the road against the Cleveland Browns and the EA Sports trademark elastic AI. After a scoreless first quarter, we opened up a 14-0 lead before yielding back-to-back field goals (one on either side of the half) to make it a one-possession game.
The field goal drives were helped along quite a bit by that crazy superhuman catch-up ability AI players seem to get when they’re behind. Colt McCoy had only 85 yards passing in the game, but 38 of those came on a single pass to Brian Robiskie on one of their scoring drives.
We got out of trouble by discovering our fullback as a decent receiver out of the flat, as well as a good short-yardage rushing weapon. As a result, Lousaka Polite finished with 9 receptions for 67 yards and 1 TD, to go with 2 rushes for 19 yards before getting knocked out of the game with a high ankle sprain. He didn’t go out without a fight, though, knocking a Cleveland player out of the game on each of his rushes, including putting ROLB David Bowens (76 overall) on the shelf for 11 weeks with a herniated disk.
Rookie free safety Dorian Hill made his presence known with a pair of tackles and an interception for 17 yards, but that was offset by an 8-yard interception Henne threw to Cleveland strong safety T.J. Ward.
Henne wasn’t too bad otherwise, completing 24 of 37 for 4 TDs and 259 yards. Compare that to Colt McCoy’s 7 of 22 for 85 yards.
The running game wasn’t terribly great for either team. Jerome Harrison led the way with 13 attempts for 75 yards, with Ronnie Brown taking 20 carries for 55 yards. That Browns run defense is scary.
Dan Carpenter was 1 for 1 on field goals, nailing one from 30 yards out to close the game.
Brandon Marshall led all receivers with 7 receptions for 96 yards and a pair of TDs. Roy Williams pitched in with 6 receptions for 82 yards and one TD. And then there’s the aforementioned Lou Polite.
The Browns receivers weren’t really much to write home about. That team is clearly intent on riding Harrison to victory.

Barn burner in my first league game against the AI. Back and forth. I only manage to stop the Texans 3 times in total. Two picks and missed FG. I get the ball back down 3 with like 1:49 left and 1 timeout. With 13 seconds left in the game from the 21 this happens:
