Madden 13 Official CAG League - On Hiatus. See you in August for Madden 25!

Ahhhhhhhhh so frustrated I just let Brock osweiler beat me...

Broncos beat saints 45 33

Those 2 dropped passes on my last drive killed me!!
And so did your two kick return tds..

Very hard to pass against your corners.
Can't believe Tracy porter is your nickel back.

I was most pissed at your last td when D Thomas mossed Patrick Robinson in the end zone, if I stopped you there I woulda been golden

It's crazy how the wind changed the outcome of that game lol

That was an insane catch by Thomas, that's why I love him. Dude is a beast.

And yeah, the wind was insane. 17MPH straight downfield, I've never had to gameplan that much for it before. You could tell when I called that timeout on 3rd down at the end of the 3rd quarter just in case I didn't get it and had to kick a FG.

It was an awesome game, doing my full write-up now. :D

Denver Broncos 45 - New Orleans Saints 33

Well, this one certainly isn't going to win any beauty pageants... In a game featuring long runs, long bombs, 5 turnovers, 2 special teams TDs, and a goal line stand, it's safe to say this game had it all. The tone was set early when both Sproles and McFadden took their first carries of the game for 80 yard scores. Things didn't really slow down much from there.

For the first half, Brock Osweiler looked like he belonged nowhere near a football field. He couldn't hit anything, even little screens I gave him to try to get him going. Along with a pick, his first half performance was just abysmal. I seriously considered bringing in Weeden, but I stuck with Osweiler and it paid off bigtime when he came alive in the 2nd half. His final stats were 8-16 for 183 yards, 3TDs and 1 INT.

Brees was 16 of 33 for 270 yards, 3TDs and 3 INTs.

McFadden carried 10 times for 135 yards and a TD, but also coughed up an early fumble.

Sproles had an insane 12 carries for 208 yards and a TD. He did put the ball on the ground a couple times, but the Saints recovered one and the other the Broncos got but it was called back due to roughing the passer.

Thomas had 3 catches for 88 yards and a TD (on a beautiful deep ball when he outjumped his defender in the endzone), while Decker added 2 for 60 and a TD. Caldwell converted his one catch for a 22-yard TD (more on him in a minute).

Devery Henderson had 5 catches for 115 yards and all 3 TDs, while Graham added 6 catches for 110 yards.

For the first time all season, the Broncos got absolutely no pass rush, but they did get picks from Porter, Haden and Leonhard.

The Saints got a pick from DT Brocrick Bunkley dropping into coverage, and also forced and recovered a fumble. They also stuffed the Broncos on 2 straight goal line plays (including one on 4th down) to keep from going down 10 points early. I think I'd still go for it again though, seeing how high the score ended up. Might have called a better play than two dives though.

The unquestioned star of the game was definitely Andre Caldwell, who took on a larger role in the offense with the departure of Tamme, converting his one catch for a TD but more importantly he returned 2 kickoffs for touchdowns (and nearly broke a third). Definitely the difference in the game.

gg neworlbush! I hope this defensive performance isn't indicative of what my guys will do going forward, but you do have a very very good offense. :D

Remember when I was gonna punt but kicked but called a TO and kicked that fg!?!? I came out to punt and on the screen it said the wind was at my back 17 mph... So I called a TO put Hartley out there and it was about 5 yards short. That really screwed me cuz it gave you the ball at your 45 instead of your 10/20 and took a to from me

The wind icon is glitched, it points the opposite direction from what the wind is blowing. That bug was there for all Madden 12 too, at least for me. I just assumed everyone knew that by now. :cry:

Nice write up and good game. Hope to see you down the road and not in 4 years.. Which would have to be the SB... (Wishful thinking)

I'd love that.

Leave some of your offensive weapons at home though. You have no idea how many times I doubled Jimmy Graham and he caught it anyway. ;)
 
Was just looking up the receiving stats to see how Thomas is doing and damn, Cru, Randy Moss is having himself a season. :D

Thomas definitely looks ticketed for an AFC Pro Bowl spot if he can stay healthy though.

Chiefs - 31 Raiders - 21

The Kansas City Chiefs make it two in a row by containing the Raiders at Arrowhead. With the score 31-7 going into half time the Chiefs stepped back and started pounding the rock. Jamaal Charles finished with 187 yards on 17 carries and had 2 TDs.

The defense played well, holding the Raiders offense to just 7 points until late in the 4th quarter. Forcing four turnovers and containing Pryor was a large part of Kansas City's success.

Next up, a rematch against the San Diego Chargers where the Chiefs look to move to 3-0 in their division!
 
Eagles 34 - Falcons 20

Falcons broke out 14-3, but after a kick return TD by Jackson the tide of the game turned and the Eagles run game took over with both Jacobs and Mccoy averaging over 9 yards a carry.

Was happy my secondary could contain the Falcons after an emberassing show against Sprice.

GG as always DVO
 
I really need to work on my off. i just look at one guy and if hes not open I try to run with Pryor. And next time we play take the crisco out of the locker room before the game.

I honestly don't get how Harvin is worth that much....

To me the Vikings are running away with this trade.

Well my players didnt get reset this time my mlb is still hurt which is good so that way i dont have to worry about him coming in
 
What if we took tate out of the trade? Or took the second rounder out? Or maybe if he gave me a scrub CB or a late pick

I pretty much agree. Harvin is great, but Tate isn't useless due to his skill as a returner, and the 2nd definitely has some value too.

I can't speak for the rest of the committee, but that would probably make a difference for me.

Lol. We play twice in 4 weeks I believe (guess it is more like 6). If I can keep my momentum week 17 should be fun.

Of course I've still got MA and his Panthers on the schedule. Luckily he has never scored against me ;)
 
[quote name='LVPatriots']Do we have another Free Agency period coming up during the season?[/QUOTE]

Yes, we can do one more. Probably Week 12. Though keep in mind that the more good FAs which are signed now, the fewer that will be available in the offseason.

I'd be cool with losing the 2nd rounder...

He made the offer, which I agree was a bit much, but I wasn't going to turn it down lol
 
Random aside: That Big Ben fantasy scoring adjustment actually turned my fantasy loss into a win. First time one of those has ever directly affected me.

Do you guys want to go ahead and re-submit it without the 2nd? If so, we can start on that version now.

Trade Announcement

Our first ever three-way all-trade-committee deal. Fun!

Chiefs get:
QB Brandon Weeden - 76 OVR (from Broncos)
WR Greg Orton - 63 OVR (from Broncos)

Jets get:
QB Ricky Stanzi - 67 OVR (from Chiefs)
4th round pick (from Broncos)

Broncos get:
WR Dexter McCluster - 72 OVR (from Chiefs)
QB Mark Sanchez - 80 OVR (from Jets)

Will post the contract details when I get home (unless someone else does it first). Keep in mind that the Sanchez portion is mostly a salary dump for the Jets, who are right up against the cap and get rid of Sanchez's big ass contract.

Here is the Chiefs perspective -

Although Stanzi has played respectably the past few games I need a QB for the future and Weeden gives me a chance to develop one instead of tanking (not going to happen) or trading a couple of superstars for an established QB or high draft pick. Hopefully it will work out. There is still a lot of risk since his intangible rating isn't very high (72) so it is hard telling how well he'll develop.

Stanzi has to move so that everyone has a QB and he is much better than his over suggests (THP - 86, SAC - 84, MAC - 78, DAC - 71) so he'll be a great backup for Rivers. McCluster is also a weapon who the real life Chiefs have screwed up (they keep switching him from WR to RB and back so it screws up his rating in Madden every year). He's 94 OVR as a returner and was my starting slot WR until I picked up Williams.
