Tom Brady retired so I ended up trading Eli to the patriots for a 6th round pick. Also sent Olivier Vernon and Wayne gallman and a future 3rd round pick to the 49ers for a first round pick. In Free Agency.... I managed to sign Jason Verrett, Jake Ryan and Dante Fowler. Going into the draft I had the 5th and the 18th pick in the first round. With the 5th pick I drafted QB Justin Herbert and with the 18th I took D-end Clelin Ferrell. With my remaining picks I added a couple O lineman and a Defensive tackle. Figured out early in the regular season I needed to add another good receiver. I traded a future 2nd round pick and this years 2nd round pick to Denver for Emmanuel Sanders. After starting off 1-2 losing to the Dolphins 15-19, beating the Redskins 29-24 with a game winning touchdown pass as time expired from Herbert to Beckham. And losing to the Vikings 21-24 We’ve managed to go on 3 game win streak beating the lions bills and cowboys taking our record to 4-2 with a game coming up against the 0-5 jets.

I know many here want to have their rosters as accurate as possible and why I mention this....Justin Herbert has announced he is returning to Oregon for his senior season.
He has always leaned that way so not sure why he was included in the draft class.

Sam Darnold was also supposedly leaning towards staying at USC as well but ended up coming out probably because of the idea of being picked early in the first round. Justin Herbert was probably in a lot of 2019 draft classes because of this same reason, it was assumed that the prospect of being taken in the top 10 in the first round would outweigh staying for his senior season. There have been many top prospects that were leaning towards staying in school but declared, you just never know until they actually make the decision. I had Herbert in my 2019 class but any franchise I start from here on out he will be in my 2020 class.

True, but Herbert announced he is staying. Darnold never did that and just said he hadnt decided. They dont usually announce they are going back to school and then change their minds.

Could Herbert change his mind? I suppose he could but he did announce he is going back to Oregon...and IMO he should. I dont think he is all that right now. This whole QB class imo isnt that great.

Yeah him coming back totally ruins my franchise now lol......but I’m not complaining because I’m an Oregon football fan. He hadn’t came out an said for sure what he was doing until yesterday so I think that’s why but I agree he should’ve been in 2020 draft class but every draft class I could find had him in 2019.

We had a game plan and we stuck to it, run the ball with DJ and when they try to stop it, hit our big play receivers.

We beat the Lions, 37-21 and backup QB Mike Glennon had 3 TD's and 1 INT. DJ ran for 233 yards and I had the best run I've ever had in M19. DJ ran a sweep to the outside and I did a spin move to leave one DB sliding by and then a great block from our WR Dixon which gave me good room up the sideline, two DB's were coming at me and I hit the RS to the right which caused DJ to sidestep to his right to avoid one DB and then finish the 2nd DB off with a spin move and then he was off 72 yards for a TD. I watched the replay at least 10x.

WR Dixon and JJ Nelson both had two long TD scampers as well. Our defense finally showed up and only allowed one TD and a FG as Glennon threw a pick 6 at the beginning of the game.

We are now 3-5 and head into Seattle.

First time ive played the game in three weeks due to having knee surgery.

So as mentioned many times , i am playing two teams. The Las Vegas Chargers and San Diego Aftershocks.



Starting to day both teams were 5-2. Chargers going against the Browns, in Cleveland in the rain ....who have the #2 defense, it was a tough game. Their QB started off 13 of 13 and i couldnt stop them their first drive and it was a quick 7-0. After finding some plays that starting me moving the ball on offense i catch up to make it 7-7. A lot of back and forth and in the 4th quarter i get a TD to lead 14-7.

Remember it was raining so Melvin Gordon fumbled two times and the second time was me trying to run out the clock running the ball and he fumbled on their 25 yardline and Cleveland recovered and tied up the game with 10 seconds left. So frustrating. Not to mention everytime i got a good run over 10 yards, i got flagged for illegal block in the back...at least 6 times...GRRR.



Game goes to OT, i win the toss and drive don the field with short passes and some 5 yard runs and on a 18 play drive, i take it in the endzone to win 20-14. Chargers now 6-2.




The Aftershocks went against the Rams in LA. It started ugly. Ras get two quick scores but Gurley leaves the game injured and doesnt return. My QB Randall Murray starts off going 0-8 with a couple of dropped passes. Finally get a completion to be 1-9 but the drives stall and just cant get anything going and at teh half it is Rams 24, Aftershocks 0.


Im thinking this game is a loss but i keep at it. My passing game picks up with some roll outs finding Christian Kirk two times and and my other 96 speed WR for 30+ gains with some great YAC gains. So im not getting clusters of completions but im getting big chunks when i do get them. I get a TD and a 2 point conversion, then another TD and a FG to cut it to 24-18.

The Rams arent running well without Gurley so i manage to make Goff throw some passes away due to good coverage and some pressures. I score th go ahead TD in the 4th Qtr and lead 25-24. The Rams get another shot and take it down for a TD, get the 2 pointer and its now 32-25.



With plenty of time left i mix in some nice runs from Breida and some nice completions and get another score to tie it up.

This game also ends up in OT and the Rams get the ball first. I hold them as they punt the ball and i get it around the 32 yardline.



I decide to run teh ball and rip off a couple of nice runs for first downs from Breida and then get a 22 yard completion to my TE and im well into their territory. I didnt want to risk a blocked FG so i run a few plays to get closer. My RBs Breida and Jamal Carr get 11, 7 and 12 yards and im down to the 6.

Im ok with kicking it here but want to have the ball on the closer to the middle of the field so i run a pitch play to Breida and he takes it in for a TD.



Aftershocks win 38-32 and are also now 6-2. Great game.



My QB ends up under 50% at 45.8% but he made some big plays when needed and ended up with 313 yards passing. Breida ends up with 107 yards on 14 carries.

We beat Seattle, 26-24. Glennon was horrible so DeShon Kizer comes in and he's electric! Throwing for 3 TD's, a 2-pt conversion and scrambling for 43 yards.

We are now 4-5 and back in the hunt! Of course DJ got injured again but we have a deep RB bench!

We face the defending Champion Eagles at home next week!
