I feel like getting rid of Piper has been on the horizon for so long! Good to see Fletcher coming in... if Gibson was any better he would break QBs back every game.

I even prefer to go one step further and when the season ends, look at the players with 0 years left and drop those I have no intention of keeping. Hopefully that helps. Sent from: We Dat!

I found I only have this problem when there is a new head coach for whichever respective team, after you sign/re-sign the head coach you have to change franchise settings back to user, however after you sim past the front office to retirements, the settings sometimes revert back to CPU, so set them back again to User. I always double check between those three stages if I had to sign a new head coach(Front Office, Retirements and Re-signings).

I don't know how much difference it will make, but Gibson's AWR should go up to 97 now (base 92 unless progression changed it, haven't checked roles and progression yet). I think that's the only area that's not already 99 that Fletcher influences.

this weeks match up was Colts 6-8 Vs Browns 9-5

1st quarter

4th quarter begins colts needing a spark try going for it on 4th and 4 but austin gets sacked browns take over....browns driving and with 6:34 left in 4th dawson connects from 55 yards out 31-21....colts ball but again there offense stall's resulting in a punt...browns ball but a huge sack on weeden makes a 3rd and 15 we cant over come and are forced to punt...colts ball and now there offense takes off and austin is playing like earlier in game resulting in a 17 yard TD catch by hilton 31-28....2:40 left in game....again colts defense steps up... forcing a punt...but on that drive austin is picked 6 by DRC but on the return osi gets called for a clipping call resulting in us getting the ball @ 45 yard line...we drive down but can only get a 34 yard fg 34-28.and with 13 secs left austin uncorks one to down field trying to hit collie ... but its shorts and deflects off colemans helmet bounces backwards and is caught by brazil but he gets tackled by DRC at 10 yard line as time expired yet another crazy game and finish. there was 2 very controversal calls in the game the clipping call i didnt see no clipping and on that last drive by us weeden threw a nice pass to benjamin @ colts 10 yard line did a nice toe tap catch in bounds got hit and with ref right there they said it was incomplete resulting in us kicking the fg ...so we had 14 points taking off board due to bad calls.

Weeden was 15-21 231 yards 3 TD'S 1 INT,71% completion rating,127.2 qb rating,Richasrdson had another huge game since coming back from injury 25 carries 135 yards 1 TD 5.4 YPC,Weeden had 4 for 33 yards,Watson again had another 2 TD game he had 7 catches 100 yards 2 TD's,Williams had 4 for 87,benjamin had 3 for 28,Todd had 1 for 16 1 TD,JMJ had a monster game for my defense 11 tackles,half sack,Morgan my other lb had 7 tackles,DRC,Jackson each hasd 5 tackles,Skrine had 6 tackles,Sheard had half sack and 4 tackles. 1 INT,1 SACK.

again my defense let 2 wr's go over 100 for second week in row.


Jags,Chiefs,Browns all clinched there division's...Pat's,Bills made the playoff's we moved up to 6th place with 10-5 record now 5 other teams are 10-5 Jags still sit @ #1 with 11-4 recored,Chiefs stioll in 2nd with 10-4-1 record.

we lost 2 LBer's in past 2 games Acho in win against ravens hes out 9 weeks with broken .... and lost his back up mcneal this week to broken ribs .... givens is still out 2 more weeks with broken collarbone.

Last game of yr is against the steelers... looking@ there injury report for steelers alot of players that played good for them last time are out injuried this time Troy Polamalu... out with fractured foot,Jordin Jurado out 2 weeks brokenm wrist,Alameda Taamu Partial MCL tear 4 weeks...

lmmfao looking @ the record stats for franchise they have a pic of micheal turner for Trent Richardsons pic because i set record with 325 yards in game last yr just noticed that now lol. only reason i know its michael turner is because when i click on season stats hes on page with falcons.

some season stats notes

Trent Richardson is 218 yards away from going over 2,000 yards for 4th yr in row he has 26 TD's on ground.

Weeden has bounced back from his off yr last yr where he only threw for 15 TD's,24 INT's ....and 2,752 yards..... this yr he has 27 TD's,16 INT's.... 3,983 yards passing... so this yr is his second best yr of his 4 yr career his best was his rookie yr where he threw 39 TD's 22 INT's and for over 5,000 yards with 5,061.

Travis Benjamin is having a good yr 81 catches 1,235 yards 7 TD's his second best yr as pro as well besides his rookie yr where he lite it up and had 108 catches...2,693 yards 25 TD's.

wow only 3 browns made pro bowl this yr Weeden,Richardson,Benjamin..
thats how bad my defense has been because useally haden,sheard and few others make it as well.

We are now 11-5 on season.

wow just simmed to playoff and we have play ravens for 3rd time this yr both have been shootouts flacco's thrown like 8 TD's against my D and has like 700 yards passing.

we ended with 4th best record in league @ 11-5.

AFC NORTH Browns 11-5,Raven's 9-7,Bengals 8-8,Steelers 4-12<--thats shocking because they still have pretty much same team as they do now in real life...besides mccoy being on team the offense has big ben,wallace,brown,defense has all same players as well troy,harrison,woodley,timmons.

Wildcard Playoffs

Ravens vs Browns,Redskins vs Giants,Bills vs Patriots,Saints vs 49er's.

so pretty much all division rematches except saints,49er's.

Trent Richardson came up 45 yards short of 2,000 yards he ended up with 1955. that does move him into 10th place on nfl records for most yards in season so now he has 1st,2nd,3rd,10th place in record books. he also holds 1st place for most TD's in season as well he has 1st,2nd,3rd,5th place.

Brandon Weeden won the 2014 QB of yr award in AFC... and the NFL...thats his second time winning both awards.


Trent Richardson won RB of the yr 4 yrs straight along with RB of yr award in NFL... hes made pro bowl 3 of his 4 yrs he missed out this yr though.hes won MVP all 4 yrs as well both in AFC,NFL. he has 29 awards in his career.

funny thing it says in awards that neither Weeden,Richardson,Benjanmin made 2014 pro bowl.... but when i look@ the Pro Bowl Voting.... Weedens the starting qb for afc,Richardson starting rb,Benjamin is 4th wr with most votes....

[azdawgpound]

Wildcard Playoffs

in a heavy rain

1st quarter neither team could do nothing....there was couple missed fg's by both team's....but it was alot of 3 and out's.... and the 1st quarter ends 0-0.

2nd quarter

finally a few minutes into the quarter the back up qb grosso playing for injuried weeden gets browns into fg postion... 3-0 .... ravens ball they get a drive going there nearing our redzone when its a FUMBLE!!!!!!!!!... browns recover 34 secs left before halftime grosso connects with jackson for 28 yard TD 10-0 browns....on the kickoff a mis handle on the catch and its another FUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! browns ball 14 secs before half we kick a fg 13-0.

3rd quarter

starts....ravens get the ball and there eating up clock and yards ... finally my defense stiffens and they kick a fg 13-3.... we get ball and we get a drive going this time grosso trying to scramble gets hit ball comes lose ravens recover i challenge but lose the challenge....again ravens are driving they are getting close again but a key tackle by MJM stops ravens and forces a fg 13-6..... that ends the quarter...

4th quarter

browns ball and grosso hands off left to richardson he finds himself a hole and hes up the sideline for 76 yard TD 20-6 browns.....ravens ball but dont know if its the rain effecting players now because theres a lot of incomplete passes and drops between both teams....the ravens are forced to punt....browns are driving looking for the killshot ... but grosso is PICKED....ravens return it for a TD 20-13 now... 3 minutes left in game...browns ball and we go with the ground game and richardson and eat rest of 3 minutes up we win 20-13....we move on to face the chiefs...

Grosso went 17-35 186 yards 1 TD 1 INT 48% completion,62.3 qb rating,Richardson had 19 carries 133 yards 1 TD 7.0 YPC,Moore lead browns with 5 catches 51 yards,watson had 5 for 45,Little had 4 for 57,Jackson had 2 for 37 1 TD,Morgan lead the defense with 11 tackles...MJM had 6, as well did Alston,Haden,Jackson had 5 each my defense had 2 FF,FR's,Morgan also had 3 sacks,Jackson had a half sack,Russell had a sack, no INT's.

Flacco we keeop in check this time guess it was because my defensive backfield was 100% healthy he was 14-31 130 yards 0 TD's,0 INT's, 45% completion rating,57.2 qb rating,Rice had only 15 carries for 39 yards 2.6 YPC,Pierce had 6 for 24 yards 4.0 YPC,Smith had 7 catches 94 yards 0 TD's,Wilson lead ravens defense with 9 tackles ,Ngata had 8,Millsap had 6,Mcclain had 7....Massaquoi had 1 sack,Reed had the only TD of game with pick 6. so we sweeped the ravens 3-0 this yr next game is the chiefs... should be interesting weeden is out of that game with broken hand.
