Madden 11 League-OFFICIAL CAG LEAGUE-That's all folks! Mini-tourney still coming tho!

I've never been so disgusted with myself after a game of Madden. I handed.. HANDED that game over. Yes, I could blame Madden for the second pick when I hit B and it decided to throw to Y in triple coverage, but really it's on me for the boneheaded pick I threw at the end.

That's an early Christmas present for ya Rames. ;)

I'm not getting the taste of that shitshow out of my mouth for a LONG time.

Rivers might have just lost that crown, he just threw 3 picks. Though a testament to the season he's having, he still managed to come out of the game with a rating over 100.

I'm not dodging doing a recap of my game btw, I just need the hurt to subside a bit. And I need to put away all my wrapping paper before the cats get into it. ;)
 
The best part is I now have a bye week to stew about this one, haha. I think I'm just about out of the playoff hunt. I say this because I'm going on vacation at the end of Sept and will probably miss 2 games minimum, so even if I managed a 10-6 I'm not sure that's gonna be good enough for the playoffs.

Yeah, but I've known that was coming for a while though. I'm in it for the long haul, so missing the playoffs in season one wouldn't be the end of the world. :D

As long as I can have amazing games (frustrating though they may be) against great opponents like Ramesu, I'm having fun.
 
POWER RANKINGS WEEK 8

1 (1). New York Giants (8-0) - The team was finally challenged this season in Week 5, as the Texans forced New York to overtime, but the defending Super Bowl champions prevailed. The team is running away with the NFC East now. Will anyone be able to get in the way of a potential perfect season?

2 (3). Oakland Raiders (8-0) - The NFL’s “other” undefeated team. The Raiders have quietly disposed of some really impressive teams so far. The 5-2 Seahawks this week, as well as the 6-2 Niners and the 5-2 Texans. Their schedule doesn’t get any easier in the coming weeks though, as they meet the Steelers, Dolphins and the new-look Chargers before the next power rankings are published. Let’s see if they can hold onto this #2 spot and the #1 seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs.

3 (2). New York Jets (6-1) - After coming roaring out the gate, the Jets hit a wall by the name of Minnesota. The Vikings shocked the home crowd in Jersey after Rex Ryan called for and failed to convert a 2-point conversion at the end of the game. The Jets rebounded since, but they will have to continue to play at a high level if they want to secure the division and a top seed in the playoffs.

4 (8). Pittsburgh Steelers (6-1) - Riding on the back of Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers have rushed their way among the elite of the AFC. Pittsburgh likes to play their games close though, winning their last 4 games by an average of 13 points. An upcoming rough stretch of games might just tell us how far this team can go this season.

5 (5). Houston Texans (5-2) - Talk about bad luck. The Texans in the first 8 weeks of the season have faced BOTH undefeated teams. They lost to the Raiders by a FG and to the Giants in OT, so it goes to show that this team is capable of hanging with the best in the NFL. The problem is, the team is going to have to continue to not only show this but win these games. In 2 weeks they face off against the Jaguars for the first time this year, which will be a key game in deciding the winner of the AFC South.

6 (7) New Orleans Saints (6-2) - The Saints might even deserve more credit than I’m giving them. Besides a CPU loss to the Niners, the Saints record was unblemished until this week when the Steelers came to town. Drew Brees and Co have no time to dwell on last week’s loss, however, a surging Panthers team are next, followed by a tough Seattle team. If they can win next week against Carolina, the team will be a one step closer to winning the division.

7 (4). San Francisco 49ers (6-2) – Who is this team? After starting 4-0, we’ve seen them not show up to gameday versus both the Raiders (lost by 31) and the Panthers (lost by 40). Is this the same 49ers that dominated earlier this season? The team has plenty of time to right the ship before the playoffs, but the Seahawks are nipping at their heels and 5 out of their last 8 games are versus divisional opponents. Those games are must wins.

8 (11). Carolina Panthers (5-2) - Something must’ve stuck a chord with the Panthers when they were run off the field by the Saints in Week 4. In the three games since, the Panthers have beaten their opponents by an average of 36 points! Wow. And guess who visits the "The Vault" this week? The Saints. Somewhere Jon Beason is licking his lips.

9 (9). Seattle Seahawks (5-2) - The Seahawks are about to feel what the Texans felt like earlier this season. Except in back to back weeks. After losing to the Raiders last week, the Giants are next. No one is predicting for the Giants to fall, but if you’re a fan of upsets you may want to tune in. Pete Carroll may have to get creative, but whatever he does he better keep the team focused. The next two games (Cardinals, a divisional opponent, and the Saints) are nothing to sneeze at, one wrong move and this team could be looking at a .500 record.

10 (17). San Diego Chargers (5-3) - Moving up those power rankings! After a shaky start that included a 3-game slide, the Chargers have now won their last 3 while scoring an average of 43 points. If they can keep up that kind of scoring outburst then they will be tough to hang with. The Texans and the Raiders (again), are up on the schedule in the next 4 games. San Diego will need to AT LEAST stay competitive in these games if they want to have any hope of landing an AFC wild card spot.

11 (12). Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) - The Jaguars seemed to have hit their offensive stride, thanks in a large part to Top 5 RB Maurice Jones-Drew, who is approaching the 1000 yard mark only halfway through the season. While neither their losses or their wins are nearly as impressive as division mate Houston’s, the Jags have a chance to prove that they are the ones that belong at the top of the AFC South as the two teams face off this week. This will be the teams biggest game of the year, by far.

12 (10). Baltimore Ravens (4-3) - Is the sky falling in Baltimore? The Ravens traded cornerstone linebacker Terrell Suggs in an effort to shake things up in the organization. Well, consider them shook! With the team sporting a new defensive look, it’s now or never time. The Ravens need to surpass their season high 2-game winning streak and they need to do it now. The true test to see if this team turned a page will be this week versus the Dolphins. Major wild card implications with this one.

13 (6). Miami Dolphins (4-3) - Ut oh. The last time we checked in with this team they had 3 wins, 3 games and a bye week later and they now have 4. Second year QB Chad Henne has one of the best TD to INT ratios in the league (20 TDs, 5 INTs), but he’s thrown 2 of those picks in the team’s last 2 games...which they’ve both lost. Miami is asking a lot out of their young QB, but if they want to catch the Jets or even just land a wild card spot, he’s going to have to play almost perfect football.

14 (21). Dallas Cowboys (4-3) - While everyone is talking about the Giants, there’s another NFC East team that isn’t exactly lying down and playing dead. Dallas is right in the mix for a wild card spot halfway through the season. Rookie Dez Bryant is leading the team in receptions and TDs. If him and Romo can stay on the same page throughout the season, we might not only see the Rookie of the Year from this team, we may also see a playoff game for them.

15 (26). Atlanta Falcons (4-3) - This team have lost the tough games and won the easy ones. The good news is the next patch of their schedule could be qualified as easy (no offense other teams!). The bad news the same cannot be said for the last 4 games of the season. As a team that currently sits on the outside of the playoffs, now is the time to take that 3-game winning streak, put it in Michael Turner’s hands, and run with it.

16 (20). Washington Redskins (4-4) - While most teams seem to be streaking or sliding in one direction, the Redskins have opted for the bumpier ride. Winning a game, losing a game, winning a game, losing a game. I thought Mike Shanahan was brought in here to instill some consistency? Well, another new face is doing his part. McNabb is throwing often and relatively well. So well, that is favorite target Chris Cooley is the #3 TE in the league as of now. The rest of the team needs to follow suit.

17 (27). Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) - The Bengals could be a lot better than we think they are, or they think they are. They turned their 1-3 record into 3-4, defeating opponents who are sitting not too far above and not too far below--quality wins. Tightend Jermaine Gresham is a standout for the team in his rookie year, sitting in the top 10 in receptions in the league. The team goes through an AFC gauntlet these next 4 weeks, facing the Steelers, Colts, Bills and finally the Jets. Surviving it is key.

18 (22). Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) - Tampa Bay has the best record of any team in last place in their division. What doest that tell me? The NFC South is no joke. Right now it’s completely reasonable to predict 3 teams from the division will make it to the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Bucs are not one of those 3 teams right now, but that won’t stop them from potentially reeking havoc on two of those teams these next two weeks though.

19 (30). Minnesota Vikings (3-4) - Just when we thought the Vikings answered the question: Who the hell is going to win the NFC North? They were on the right side of what is probably the biggest upset of the season, as they took down the Jets. They then went on to lose to the Cowboys, but they did win their rival game vs the Packers. After the Cardinal game this week, Minnesota has a chance to assert themselves in the North, with games vs the Bears and Packers. Let’s see if someone emerges in that division in the coming weeks.

20 (16). New England Patriots (3-4) - Well their loss to the Vikings above them did come in a sim, but a loss hurts coming from anywhere this point in the season. They have a chance to stop this 2-game skid vs the Browns this week and then 2 out of their next 4 games are among division leaders with only one loss. Tom Brady is slinging it like the best of them this season (2000+ yards, top 5 in the league and not a bad TD/INT ratio either). So this team can stay in games with a guy like that, but they need to win them.

21 (13). Chicago Bears (3-4) - Like the Vikings, the division is there for the Bears to take. Actually the division is there for ANYONE to take it. In fact, if someone within the division doesn’t claim it, I would start getting worried that a team outside of it does ;). The rest of the season looks very favorable for the Bears though and they have a lot of divisional match ups left too. I think it will come down to what side of .500 this team is sitting on by the end of the year, and that could be the difference between the division and an early vacation.

22 (25). Indianapolis Colts (3-4) - The Colts have won 2 of their last 3, and while they are coming off a loss, like the team above them they have a patch of winnable games coming up. Peyton Manning has already hit the 2000 yard mark this year, but what is more impressive (or shocking) is that almost half of those yards went to one man: Dallas Clark. If these two continue to hook up for 100+ yard games regularly then this team could emerge from below .500 very quickly.

23 (28). Buffalo Bills (2-5) - Taking a closer look at this team and they’ve played some very good teams very close. Another reason they deserve to stand atop the 2 win teams is that they received that win since we last ranked them, so they are progressing. The next 3 games are versus teams with similar records, so we’ll see how they play then.

24 (15). Arizona Cardinals (2-5) - They’ve been putting up fights all year, but have yet to deliver that impressive knockout punch. Redemption is coming in 2 weeks as they match-up against the Seahawks again. A win there would go along way in hopes of at least being in the mix for 2nd in the West this season. And with 2 games left versus the 49ers, this team could do some damage to playoff hopefuls within their division. I have to imagine a QB is at the top of their offseason wishlist.

25 (14). Green Bay Packers (2-6) - You would think with the Packers being this low in the rankings they would be in a sad state of affairs, but these 2 wins came against divisional opponents. If they can stay above .500 in the division (they sit at 2-1 now) and grab another win here or there, then Green Bay could very well be looking down at the rest of the NFC North and looking forward to a playoff birth. Beating the Vikings in Week 11 will be key to that goal.

26 (19). Detroit Lions (2-5) - This NFC North merry-go-round is making my head spin. Bears beat the Lions. Lions beat the Vikings. The Vikings beat the Packers. The Packers beat the Vikings. Ahhh! If you were looking for a runaway horse in this race, look elsewhere. This fight is going 10 rounds. If the teams within the division keep beating each other up, then those outside of it may turn out to matter most. The win against the Eagles is a start, so let’s see how they do against the AFC East 3 out of the next 4 games.

27 (18). Denver Broncos (2-6) - If I told you Kyle Orton was leading the league in passing, would you believe me? Well he is. And his leading receiver has just over 500 yards (rookie Demaryius Thomas), so he’s spreading it around. A potential rookie of the year and a potent passing game? Not a bad foundation. Denver may have had the toughest schedule the first half of the season too, facing the Niners, Raiders, Jets and Seahawks already. I wish I could say it’s easy street from here on out, but the Broncos will still see plenty of challenges.

28 (24). Philadelphia Eagles (1-6) - What if I told you Kevin Kolb was 2nd? He’s probably throwing a few more picks than Andy Reid would like in his first year as the full-time starter, but they had to know the transition from McNabb was going to be noticeable. The good news is, and in a large part thanks to Mr. Kolb, despite hit INTs, is that they are staying in these games. Four losses were under 14 points, and 3 of those were under 7. This team just needs to figure out how to close these games out.

29 (23). Kansas City Chiefs (1-6) - While a lot of these teams down here have their QBs to look to and dream about the future, the Chiefs have their stud running back Jamaal Charles. With 14 TDs and almost 800 yards, he’s among the league leaders in both categories. This hasn’t translated to a win since the new GM has stepped in this year, but it’s a promising sign for a younger team.

30 (29). Cleveland Browns (1-6) - If there’s one thing you don’t want to lead the league in, it’s INTs and starter Jake Delhomme is doing exactly that with 23. I have to imagine that if he could begin to cut down on those as the season progresses then this team can rack up some wins, but until then it’ll make for an uphill battle for the whole team, but especially the defense.

31 (31). St. Louis Rams (1-7) - Forget Tebow, if you’re looking for a rookie QB to be your savior then look no further than Mr. Sam Bradford. The kid is doing his best to keep his team in each game, throwing for over 2000 yards so far. He is 2nd in the league in INTs though, with a 14:16 TD:INT ratio, but he’s learning. Maybe with a high draft pick, the Rams could draft him some help on offense.

32 (32). Tennessee Titans (1-7) - Hello, is anybody home? With a new GM at the helm, we thought this team would finally see some stability this season. It was not to be, at least not yet. The state of Tennessee still has their fingers crossed that with the combination of Chris Johnson and Vince Young, the Titans will at least give them a reason to tune in every Sunday.

Whew. That was fun. Please feel free to debate your position if you'd like. I tried to do my best to compare not just W/L but who those wins and losses were to. Nothing should be too shocking with my rankings, but if I missed something glaring then please share.

Doomtime the playoff picture and midseason award/award projections look great. I will be sure to link both of our posts in the OP, or just have them in the OP soon. I'll try to keep my picks down with Sanchez to keep myself in that race haha.

edit: and forgive the typos in the rankings, I just scim-proofed it briefly and saw I wrote in instead of it in one of them. didn't have time to proof it as I'm running out the door.
 
Great job on the rankings :) The Bills are pretty unpredictable this year...I could have four wins if I played a couple of games differently. On the other hand, I could be back down to one if I didn't have a lucky TD last game. We'll see how these next three games go--will the Bills be in contention for a wild card, or be looking at a top 10 draft pick? Find out next week on Hard Knocks mid-season: Why the hell are you watching the Bills?

I'm done.
 
[quote name='gregthomas77']That is interesting. What are you looking for?[/QUOTE]

A DB mostly. I need a good nickel corner, or even a new starting CB.
 
awesome job with the rankings man. I really appreciate all the work your putting into this. It makes it a lot of fun.
 
Awesome job on the Power Rankings and Mid-season awards...that was some good reading material. Pretty awesome to see my boy Beason considered the undisputed #1 defensive player (at least by Doomtime)...let's see if I can keep it up though. The only thing I wanna throw out there is that my 49-9 beatdown against the Saints earlier was when he played against the CPU due to connection issues, but we have our rematch this week, so we'll see how it goes this time....

Speaking of that, I PM'ed Scotts and messaged him on Xbox Live early this afternoon and haven't gotten a response yet. I know it's a little early to be concerned...but just wanted to go ahead and give an update on our status.

Can't complain, as my Bengals had the second-highest jump of this season's power rankings! Hopefully we can capitalize on our recent success (and fortunate FA pickup of seven-time Pro Bowl tackle Orlando Pace).

Thank you sir. Yeah, Sanchez and Edwards are having great seasons so far. Great work on the power rankings.

@masterawesome- No way anyone could dispute Beason's numbers. 8 INTs through 8 games is insane, especially for a linebacker.

Unfortunately I think that'll probably be one of the games I miss if we keep up at the current pace. That and my rematch with the Raiders.

I'll be gone for a little over a week, so if I time it right I suppose it's possible I might only miss one game, but we'll see. It's not the end of the world.

[quote name='HydroX']I was actually really looking forward to our game. If we don't get to play, I'd love to scrim you sometime.[/QUOTE]

As was I. :D

I was actually thinking about creative ways I might not be totally screwed by missing several games. I was thinking maybe I could just scrim those opponents in advance and if I won the league game would be simmed and if they won they got to play the CPU. There's obviously still a chance I'd lose in the former scenario, but at least it wouldn't be an auto-loss the way the latter would be. Obviously it would have to be okay with my opponents, and ubernes, but it was just an idea I was kicking around.
 
FYI, the Eagles and Colts are tentatively scheduled to play during the day on Monday. One of us will post with a confirmed time when everything is set in place.
 
[quote name='MasterAwesome']Just curious...what's the number in parentheses next to each ranking in the Power Rankings?[/QUOTE]

previous ranking
 
can't believe the new roster update took Tony Richardson out of the game... the Jets cut him for like 20 hours and resigned him immediately. thanks EA!
 
lol i was 13th ranked before? some big time overrating there uber :lol:

btw, shouldn't the power rankings be on the first post? or at least a link to it.

Haha, I was the one who did them last time. And I definitely didn't put as much time into it as ubernes did. :D
 
It's also a lot easier to bump people up and down with 7-8 games to look at instead of 3-4. We had a ton of 2-2 teams bunched together last time so since then people have separated from the pack.

The OP now includes power ranking links and the playoff picture link too.
 
Question about trading picks, and the draft in general:

Are we honoring real-life trades of picks for the 2011 draft which were made prior to this season (ie, in last year's draft or before?)

I think it would be more realistic if we did. For example:

Oakland has Richard Seymour, for whom they traded their 2011 1st round choice. It seems fair to me that New England get that pick since Oakland still has Seymour in-game.

For reference, here's a list of of trades for the 2011 draft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_NFL_Draft#Trades
 
^ I say no. It's too much extra work for uberness and its almost like a punch to the gut for some teams that are counting on their picks to rebuild or help their team.
 
I think it makes sense since otherwise it would just be like a team getting a player for free. But on the other hand...I think it also makes sense not to since going into the season, you choose your team based on their current roster...so you're basically accepting your team as it is. You're not really looking to the future like "nice I'm gonna get two first round picks with this team". So it's not like you really lose anything from having given up a player (such as Richard Seymour) before the new season starts. Like I said...that goes back to having accepted your current roster for what it is. So I think there are arguments for both sides...personally I would definitely benefit from not incorporating this idea, but I would definitely understand and partially agree with you guys if you wanna push for it.

Trying to sabotage Oakland's future bv? :D Just kidding. Either way, I wouldn't mind. I never get too excited for drafts.
 
Seems like more hassle than it's worth imo. It's going to be a pain just to sort through the trades we've done this season. Essentially everyone involved in a pick trade would have to be present at the draft and then probably in a private chat so that one team could tell the other who to pick for them. And say someone happened to trade one of those picks owed elsewhere already? (I doubt that happened, but it's possible). Also how are we handling performance clauses?

I would maybe consider doing it for the first 2-3 rounds of the draft, as those matter much more and there's less of them.

edit: actually it did already happen. Redskins traded their 3rd rounder already. though they did get one back from the Niners so I guess nothing is completely changed.
