[quote name='n8rockerasu']Though, I didn't make note of every single name on the field, I'm pretty sure his formation actually had 1 WR, 3 TEs, and 1 RB. His TE had also been lined up in the backfield on several plays, so I don't know if the game was counting him as a FB, or what...but that threw me off even more (I tried to scan the names really quick while calling an audible and moving players since I was expecting a running formation, and I don't remember seeing another RB).
This TE was lined up all over the field in the game: backfield, slot, wide, etc. and had like 5 catches at that point in the 2nd quarter. Like I said, I considered the way he was using him a bit cheesy, but when I saw a 5 wide play give the appearance of 2 RB, 1 WR, 2 TE, that was it for me.
Designed play or not...the game's programming and the lack of information we have available makes it worse. Then, when trying to figure out what was going on, and why this was happening (considering I had just checked depth charts, I didn't think that was the issue), I'm getting rushed along in the game. It felt dickish, and that's the stance I'm sticking with. At that point, I wasn't concerned with his opinion of me.[/QUOTE]
To clear some things up.....
I don't believe I used any 3 TE formations in this game. Yes, my TE was in the backfield on some plays. A lot of playbooks have formations like that. A TE in the slot and out wide are in multiple playbooks also including BAL, NE, and NO. My #2 TE Vanhorn caught both TDs. On the first, he was lined up along with my #1 TE on the end of the offensive line. He ran a drag route and scored. The second TD was the one with the strange formation. Vanhorn ran an out and beat the secondary to the endzone. My tight ends had a combined 4 catches. My #6 draft pick Flewellyn had 2 catches for 18 yards, I'm not exactly sure on Vanhorns yards, but it was maybe 30-40 yards and 2 scores on 2 catches. I honestly don't remember throwing to my RB except on a screen pass and didn't gain much on that. I had ran the ball with Doug Martin around 8-10 times at this point. I wasn't gaining much, but enough to keep the chains moving. As I have stated before, my WRs were covered well. I tried throwing an out to Burleson and it got picked. I tried a curl to Roberts and he dropped it. I tried a long pass to an open Torrey Smith, but Flacco overthrew him. It's not like I got a ton of opportunities here. We only made it to midway through the second quarter before he quit on me. His offense couldn't do anything and he threw a pick six and a number of very short drives where I got my hands on more balls, but couldn't haul them in, maybe because of rain. My offense wasn't dominating or anything, but I was definitely in control of the game on defense.
[quote name='n8rockerasu']Well, personally, I would have waited on a message saying something like "Ok, fair enough." but that's just me. I'm just a huge prick...so what do I know?
Ultimately, I don't care, lol. Do what you guys want. Quit from the league, mutiny, whatever. I think he was being a dick...he thinks I was being a dick. Agree to disagree. We're going in circles at this point.[/QUOTE]
For the record, I never said you were being a dick. I've only been defending myself from your accusations this whole time. You quit, then came in here calling me a jerk, saying I did some stuff that wasn't even entirely true. I didn't even do anything against the rules. I really don't believe that you threw this whole fit over a 5 yard penalty in a game you had done nothing in. I've asked you a couple times what you were going to message me and you have declined to answer. I assume that is because you had nothing to say. I explained the play and why it was the way it was. What else could you have said other than something like "alright" or call me a liar? I very rarely ever send Xbox Live messages other than very short things like "gg". I can't do XBox message fast, I don't have a chatpad, and didn't want to sit there arguing with you over something that I had already explained.
you" league! I put up with it as its been asked why I'm still here because I don't have a choice! I tried the main league and got destroyed and that isn't fun! I play madden in this league because as N8 said most of us can go either way against any opponent in here. Only a few go over 12 wins. I'm here to play and I am outspoken but I'm also not gonna let someone call another player out when he himself broke a huge rule.
