no never that i take pride in my straight up gameplay, but was just providing scenarios to get feedback, nothing more than that i think anybody that has played me would never feel cheated after losing to me and that is the way i want it

TB is legit. I remember that one-point loss from last year like it was yesterday. Straight play, but creative and challenging. I remember the QB draw from your #2 who I didn't see enter the game on 3rd down. That was a great call. And I recall Freeman making some great throws on some quick rolls under duress. Those are always challenging plays, but Freeman got the better of my MIA defense, and I tip my hat. You used him very well and definitely earned my respect for him by the end of game stat line.

That has to be one of the most gut-wrenching losses I've had in league play, but it was also a great game.

If you're talking about spreading your DE's, then fine, we can just counter it by doing the stuff we've advised you to do. But I'm getting nervous here that you are threatening to go away from your normal straight, sim play style to something wholly un-twosilk-like and pull some lobby scum shenanigans. You've always been such a good player, I really hope you're not going down that road.

The move can be defended, and all you have to do is shift line protection or keep a back in to block. Or you can screen to that side or place a tight end to get in the way.

Telling him to run on third and long against a superior run stopping team full of the personel to stop the run at every position is a laughable counter to this. Some teams have soo many good run stoppers you are forced to pass. I would have ran immediately outside the pocket and forced the players hand if he was getting a good rush.

Sometimes you got to fight fire with fire.

I think this is just an exploit that you have to deal with when playing randoms online.

Definitely wouldn't be acceptable for league games, though.

This is why I only practice against the CPU and never play anything but league games online.

I'm 5-0 right now, and I think my chances of getting a wild card spot are possible, but not probable based on the games i have left. Don't give up so easily.

Yeah last season I was sitting with a 6-5 record before I realed off a couple of wins down the stretch to sneak in the playoffs at 10-6.

The NFL is a long season, so you are never out of it until the math says you are.

So, BradySenior (Chargers) is on the phone with an EA agent right now because it will not allow us to play our game.

Brady just messaged me and said the new update may have ruined the online franchises. I'm not sure what he means by that exactly, but it doesn't sound good.

I'm sure EA will fix it, but our franchises may be down for a bit.

Alrighty, just had a D-Line Strafer play me. He quit with 2 minutes left in the 1st half.

1) Audible The TE On The Side, To Block.

He doesnt pick him up this, time..but he buys an extra second for the RT to say, "Oh wait, Dude out wide."
--The OT picks up tuck, and for added measure, Dustin Keller, chips the rusher coming free.

2) Run a route with a HB or FB that crosses the rusher.

--Arrow route out of the backfield to the FB..gets in the path of the RE, and again buys the second needed for the RT to recognize him.

3) Audible everyone on the side of the rusher, in to block, and roll out to that side.

I have the FB blocking, and I motioned him to the backside. I audible the TE in to block. Loads of time.

4) Step up and run up the alley created.

TE in to block. An alley a mile wide opens up.

5) Slot Wr audibled to block. clowney gives him a shove, which again buys time for the RT to recognize the DE.
