That play was in my new formation i made, Blade Back, and ive had very nice success from that formation and the other one i created, Full Gun. Josh Johnson also had 2 clutch TD runs at the end of the game as he was rolling out from a Full Gun play. Meanwhile, another rookie really stood out. One of my 3 3rd round picks Harry Douglas caught a 50yd bomb wide open on the sideline from Johnson on the first play of the game.! He was litteraly wide open, and that set up Darren McFadden's TD pass to Megatron. He also returned a kickoff 93yds for a score in the 2nd quarter where he showed great breakaway speed as well as a nice spin move to seperate himself from a bunch of tacklers. Im really excited about this guys big play ability. The low part of the game was the 2 interceptions by Josh Johnson, both returned for 6 by Eric Green. They were both underthrown to Roy Williams and Green was playin a tight man to man on him so he got the picks. But he's a rookie so he'll learn. Im really excited bout this young team. I plan on playing my next game either 2mrw or monday, so ill let the forum know whats goen down.

I cannot enjoy this dynasty now...all because of that.

OK guys so i came home last night and wasnt tired AT ALL so i decided to pull an all nighter since i didnt hv anything goen on the next morning and i played thru week 6. Oh and i fixed the jason witten thing bc whenever i thought about it i felt like the game was getting less and less fun, and when i fixed it the game is much more enjoyable and realistic. OK so i played the Green bay packers at my own Ford Field in week 2. Here's what went down.

Also, Alexis Serna played very well going 5/6 on FG, missing wide left on a 47 yarder. It was a solid game all around, and we can only get better.

Darren McFadden left game in 2nd quarter with triceps strain, out 1-3
weeks; 8rush 10yds prior

Story of the night here was the record breaking play of rookie defensive end Calais Campbell, recording 9 SACKS!! It was amazing to watch this young guy go to work, especially the clutch sacks in the 2nd half to put the 9ers away. Harry Douglas also had another huge play, coming up with a 49 yard catch and run in the 3rd quarter. Alexis Serna also had another solid outing, although he missed from 57 and 55 yards out. My run game is really gonna suffer now bc McFadden left in the 2nd quarter and never retruned. I later learned he would be out 1-3 weeks with a triceps strain :O. I have a bye for week 4 so we'll see if he can recover by my next game, but if not ill start either rookie Ryan Torain or Brian Calhoun.

Nah. no need for that. I guess I'll get over it lol.

I do the TE/FB cheat just to get certain TE's off teams that they aren't on anymore. Normally I try to trade them to the team that they're actually on. Like normally I can trade Tony Gonzalez to the Falcons & Winslow to the Bucs.

[AndyKisBoss]

So i had a bye in week 4, but McFadden was not able to return from injury, still about 5-8 days away. Also, Torain got injured during the bye and he will be out another week, so it looks like Calhoun gets the start. Here's what went down.

Story of the night was the stellar play of rookie QB Josh Johnson throwing 2 of his 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter to put the Chicago Bears away for good. He did throw 2 interceptions (both in the first quarter) but made a huge comeback and played great, throwing a touchdown to rookie TE jermichael Finley and 2 to roy william's replacement, Shaun McDonald. Brian Calhoun, who started for Mcfadden bc of his injury, was a non factor racking up 8 yds on 8 carries. Another game, another win. Mcfadden returns from injury next week, so i hope he can return to his stellar week 2 play.

[AndyKisBoss]

Mcfadden returned to practice this week, and 2/3 gameplans were run based to help him out. I played the Minnesota Vikes, lets see what went down.

Injuries
TE J Finley Broken hand out 1-3 weeks

Stellar play from a few individuals. First off, the retrun of McFadden went very well, as he racked up nearly 100 rush yds and a score AND threw a td to Shaun McDonald in the back of the end zone. Shaun McDonald also had a huge game, racking up 162 recieving yards and 3 SCORES! Josh johnson recorded his first career 300+ yd game as well, although he has yet to have an interception-free game. On the defensive side of the ball, Campbell continues his streak of sacks, recording 4. He now has 17 sacks!! this guy is a pure beast and cannot be stopped, even with a double team. Unfortunately, rookie Jermichael Finley broke his hand and will be out for the next few weeks, so Jeb Putzier (i think thats his name?) will get the start. Roy Williams returns from injury next week, and he'll be my #3 guy behind McDonald since MickyD has been playing to great to just go back to #3, but ill give Roy a chance to win it back in the next few weeks. Have the lions ever gone 5-0 since the days of Barry Sanders?? Well they have now ...I plan on playin my next game 2nite or 2mrw so ill let the forum know whats goen down w/ my dynasty.
