Re: Off Topic 2011

I can't take much more of this Michigan success. Tigers moving on to the ALCS, Lions undefeated, and the Wolverines actually look decent on defense.

From the famous words of Vince Lombardi....."What the hell is going on out here!"

Hopefully Wisconsin can celebrate similar success tomorrow night.

Re: Off Topic 2011

If he dropped 4 starters, his team must not have been that good in the first place. Or he's going to pay later in the year. That's what the waiver wire is for I guess. I have 5 guys on byes in one of my leagues, but I only picked up Ridley.

Dropped 0 starters. 3 bench guys have a bye and his IR is Andre Johnson.

So basically dumped his entire bench.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I'm actually having a blast with NCAA 12. Found a good slider set and difficulty to where the game is hard to win and i don't feel cheated when i lose.

Same here. When I first got 12, I played for about 2 hours and then it collected dust for about a month. But I picked it back up when the season started and have had a blast since, much more so than last year.

My one real beef is the AI actually finds way too many ways to lose games. It lacks the killer instinct to put away a human opponent often times. Late game pick six's, fumbles in the 4th, stupid, stupid, stupid(did I mention stupid?) play calling. I mean too many times when I need a score, the defense comes out in some cover 2 blitz or whatever, leaving my best WR streaking behind their D, leaving only the SS with any chance at stopping it. Yet that route is never open all game, except when they should be playing prevent.

For offense, too many screens that lead to sacks as well, pretty much ending a lot of the chances the AI has to put the game away. Same for running 4 verts and just standing in the pocket, resulting in a sack that usually knocks them out of field goal range or something stupid. Too many draw plays on 3rd and 17 when the game is on the line, and they need to conserve time. I could go on, but Basically the play calling is now the main thing severely hampering the AI's competitive ability.

I'm just glad Michigan doesn't have Wisconsin on the schedule this year.

Re: Off Topic 2011

My opponent initially had 12 guys in play this week due to bye weeks. I drafted strategically and had the full 17 in play. My projected win was 161-117.

Today he made FIVE moves and now has a projected score of 179. Such bull****.

Right now I'm projected to win about 134-127 but I have my lineup adjusted so all 18 of my starters are active this week, but he still has one guy with a bye and one projected to miss the game due to injury in his lineup.

And yeah, projections don't mean squat. Last week Frank Gore was projected to put up only ~2 points due to his ankle injury so I sat him and he goes and puts up 18 points. Lost the game by 5 points so I would've won had I played him.

Yeah I hate how if I see my guy open down the seam, but a LB is sitting in a zone 15 yards in front of him, I still can't throw it.

Or when you see a guy running open down field and press the button only to have the QB inexplicabley throw a little lob over the middle that is intercepted by a DT. Or better yet, when your QB inexplicably decides to randomly throw the ball to wherever without you even hitting a button to tell him to throw it.

I hate how everyone around here are "Braves fans". I just saw a guy ask someone on facebook, "So, how did the Braves pan out this year ?".

Dude has a Braves hat on in his profile picture and claims to be a Braves fan, but isn't even aware enough to know they choked ?

You only hear them talking baseball when the Braves do something significant, yet they claim to be "real fans". I really really hate that ****.

I see **** like that all the time. It especially sucks when it's your team that they're talking about.

I have a hard time getting hyped about baseball. I'm a casual fan.. I only watch during the beginning of the season and towards the end, when it comes playoff time. I'd rather just not have a team, since that's the case.

I'm def. firing some people up tonight on facebook.

Yeah that's the main reason I'm not a Braves fan. All of my friends growing up claimed to love the Braves, but didn't know anything about them. It drove me crazy
