Just Win Baby!

3 more games done...all I need is some time to write them up. My passing game is killing me! At this pace we'll have 40+ interceptions this season.

Just read through all of this thread, great read.

The sack numbers were absolutely ridiculous that first year, over 100 as a team. God damn.

Your running game is really effective, personally I've never managed to get even close to those kind of numbers.

[Mike3207]

How many of these games do you play and how many do you sim?

[kdmajoslin]

all regular season games played

all preseason simmed

altered the sliders to help reduce the crazy sack numbers from year 1...still get a lot, but i blitz on almost every play

If they make the 2pt conversion, they win. If they fail...it's over and they lose their 3rd straight.

HB Jameel Keddington gets the ball and takes it outside, he rolls off a defensive back and goes inside, diving for the goal line. He is in! The Raiders win!

The Raiders have to be happy with the win, but they also have to be wondering how to end the torture that is their QB play. So far the Raiders QB's have thrown an amazing 28 INTs (20 by rookie Brett Cardinal and 8 by Ken Dorsey) What makes this even more woeful is they have only thrown for 2 TDs! Neither QB has a QB rating above 40!
