jeeber good game.....maybe ill go winless this season

[JeeberD]

LOL...doubtful, Flasch. You did a good job of keeping me out of the endzone. Good game...

Damn, these game are much too close for comfort.

[Flasch186]

well, now my xbox wont get off the " reporting game results. please wait" screen.....Bueller? beuller?

[JeeberD]

Same on my end. I don't want to lose the results and am now frightened to turn it off.

Sigh...

[JeeberD]

Woot! Completed!

[Flasch186]

yup, there we go

[SirFozzie]

BigDPW, we good to go sometime this week?

[gstelmack]

RainRaven, I'm available 8-10 Eastern during the week, or anytime on the weekend if given notice (except this Saturday morning). Let me know.

[RainRaven]

Tonight should be great, perf towards the early section of that 8-10 time period if possible

[JeeberD]

So the Niners are a bye, correct? Just like in real life...

Okay, I should be able to get on by 8:15 (daughter goes to bed at 8, and I'll log on ASAP afterward).

Yes. I'll resolve that one when I log on to play RainRaven tonight.

[Eaglesfan27]

RPI-Fan,

I can play our game any weeknight this week up til 11:00 PM Central time. I can also play at most times this weekend assuming I have a little advance notice. Let me know what works for you.

[gstelmack]

Good game RainRaven. The lack of Edgerrin James was really hurting you, as my defensive roster let me play a bit soft and still stop Rhodes most of the time. Then when Rhodes went down at a critical juncture, that didn't help any.

[RainRaven]

That fumble just killed any chance I had in the 2 quarter, with the Rhodes injury that crippled me further. Edge has a quicker burst to the hole then Rhodes and with him gone my running game suffers. Good game though and I hope you didn't think I passed too much from the second quarter on, I just felt like my running game was shot at that point due to the circumstances and that Manning was my best shot.

Nah, you could have thrown on every play and it would not have surprised me (you actually caught me off guard with some of the runs). That fumble was a killer, as it let me get in another TD before the half and set a lead that was hard to come back on.

The football gods did punish me when I was up 21-3 and tried a pass for the endzone down deep in your territory. Nice pick...

[gstelmack]

There's a new feature where the league web page can send e-mail updates with the daily activity in the league (game results, etc). It will only send this to people who have an e-mail address in their profile. Anyone have an e-mail address in their profile and NOT want to get this?

[Flasch186]

who do i play next, im rarely on there if not for palying the games so i dont find out, so anyone? anyone?

[SackAttack]

That'd be me, Flasch. Best day for me to play this week is probably gonna end up being either Tuesday or Wednesday night. Wednesday I'm good anytime after 1 pm, Tuesday I'm good anytime after 7 or so, both Pacific.

I believe you got me next. Are you available to play tomorrow? That's my only window available, because I'm leaving for Miami on Sunday morning, and won't be back until the Friday before Labor Day.

[SackAttack]

cartman, unless the league website is wrong, Jacksonville (Flasch's team) faces Green Bay (my team) this week.

[Flasch186]

um, well Tuesday night is best for me, anytime pretty much is fine, 6pm EST or later....lets pop on here first and then ill bounce over to the other when were both up.

[SackAttack]

works for me.

So no one cares if I turn this on?

[SirFozzie]

Please, go ahead. Gives me some emails I really want

BigDPW, I have a game tonight to go to , but likely Monday will be good

[cartman]

Yep, I misread they schedule. I have mgadfly this week (Seattle).

I can only play tonight, or tomorrow morning. I'll be away from my Xbox from tomorrow until the Friday before Labor Day.

For the following week, I've got the gstelmack (Carolina). I'll be available the evening of the 3rd, or all day on the 4th.

[cartman]

Dola,

Thanks for the reminder on the website. I had some problems before linking my gamer tag to my passport account. All is fine now, and the website is a nice touch.

[gstelmack]

What I learned last week with the Jeeber / Flasch incident is that I have to manually roll over the league to the next week, even once all the games have been played. So we're apparently not stuck with the weekly deadline. I still encourage everyone to play the games as soon as they can, but if we go over a bit it looks like it is okay.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm still ready to play RPI-Fan any of the times I listed in my last post (after 6:00 PM any weeknight up til about 11:00 PM Central time) On the weekend, I can usually arrange a time if I know in enough advance.

What time tomorrow morning can you play? Not sure if I'll be able to get online, but if you can give me a time maybe I can try to make it happen.

Foz - I will be available tomorrow evening to play any time after about 6pm or so... The best time for me would probably be around 7:30 or 8 pm EST to start but since I am not working on Tuesday I can play a little later into the night as usual... Let me know what you think... PM me or look for me on AIM tomorrow (dpw0419)...

I love the website feature for the leagues as well it adds alot to the league and lets me get more involved... Now I just have to put down madden for a little bit so I can remember how to play ESPN today...

[SirFozzie]

Ok.. I get home from work at 6:30-6:45, so 7:30-8 will be good.

That has to be the greatest one liner ever. Well at least in this thread! Good stuff...

Foz - I am online and ready to play when you are... I would AIM you but I don't have your screen-name???

[SirFozzie]

Great game, BigDPW. I had absolutely nothing.

2-1. F***

[BigDPW]

Good game Foz... You controlled the ball most of that game but some how with the Turnovers and that one long pass I kept ahead on the scoreboard...

I am not sure what just happened but the game was recorded as 0-0 as opposed to the real score (20 something - 3)??? I was credited with a win but I am not sure why it didn't count the stats and the real score???

[BigDPW]

Dola - it must have only counted that first game where we got disconnected after the 3rd play... They credited Lewis with 10 yds rushing Boller with 11 yds passing and Heap with 11 yds receiveing on the league website and that is it??? Oh well at least I got the win but dang my guys could use those stats...???

[gstelmack]

According to the website, New England disconnected, so it gave the win to Baltimore. Where did the second game come from? Did you play it from the league lobby? Did it show each other as your next opponent? It looks like it considered the second attempt as just another online game.

[SirFozzie]

we played three times.. first two times "network conditions were too poor to continue"

[cartman]

Sorry I missed ya this time mgadfly. You get the win this week, since I'm out of town.

[BigDPW]

We went through the league lobby each time we played and it seemed like a league game each time... Not sure why it counted the 0-0 disconnect game??? I don't care since I got the win anyway but it is strange none the less...

Ready when you are.

[Flasch186]

you here, im getting on now

[SackAttack]

I'm headin' into the lobby now, just saw this reply.

[Flasch186]

SPECTACULAR GAME!!!! THAT WAS AN AWESOME GAME..


too bad your guys hands dropped everything, youdve definitely done much better...matybe the rain caused that...dunno....great game though.

Ahman, caught me off gaurd in the beginning...nice take.

[SackAttack]

Good game, Flasch. Just never could get it going offensively, although I really wasn't happy about jamming on the button on those last two plays and having Favre stand there waiting to get assraped. Doubt it would have made a difference, though. The way you shut down Favre's passing game all night, you deserved that one.

[SackAttack]

Flash, my guys didn't drop /that/ many passes. It was more your defensive backs doing a great job of batting the balls away.

I did get raped on that 3rd and 1 ballspot, though. He was over the line, they called it 3rd and 1, so I tried again; in retrospect, I challenged the wrong call. But Green was all I had goin' for me; I think the only way I win that one is if, on my second-to-last drive, I had completed one more first down, then MAYBE Longwell kicks a FG.
