Dave's Madden Tracker thread

[dave]

I didn't feel like playing this afternoon. It's too fucking hot right now.

That said, I turned on my central air for the first time this year and my place should be sufficiently comfortable when I get home at midnight (EST).

I'd like to get a game or two in.

Coach Andy Reid (errrr. Dave) fined after Eagles loss

Strahanfan (Giants) 36 Dave (Eagles) 32
All-Madden, 7 mins

Game recap:
Eagles' coach Dave was shaking his head after this one. "Why the fuck can't my 80 and 90 rated D stop the pass?" asked a bewildered coach. "That was unbelieveable."
The Eagles - no joke - led 19-7 going into the 4th quarter. They gave up an Izzy-like 29 points in the 4th quarter!
"The game makes me sick to my stomach," said coach Dave after the game. "This is just unreal."
A huge play for the Giants came early when linebacker D. Clark intercepted one of those balloon passes that hits the line. It just seemed to change everything.
While McNabb had two INTs, the second was simply a hail mary, so coach Dave isn't that uptight about that.
It was a strange game that coach Dave would rather forget. "I still can't figure out if I lost the game or he won it. It's time for some heavy drinking," coach Dave said to a group of depressed Philadelphia reporters.
Commissioner Roger Goodell fined coach Dave $50,000 later in the week for using the word "fuck" in his press conference and refusing to drink NFL sponsor Coors after the game.
"I hate that shit," said coach Dave. "Get me a damn Sam Adams!"

Scouting report on Strahanfan:
A) Always manual, sometimes probably too much so. His insistence on being overly manual cost him the Jackson KR TD and at times his bafflingly stupid play with Ahmad Bradshaw cost him touchbacks.
B) A tale of two halves - he tried to be methodical and pound the ball in the first half. It simply didn't work. His run game was very weak in this game ... then again, mine sucked too.
C) Once he opened up his offence, the Eagles' defensive backfield seemed to go into retarded mode. He relies heavily on Brandon Jacobs as a receiver, even deep. I wish EA could set up ratings so guys like Jacobs were a non-factor as receivers. Did a good job using his smurf receivers, especially Smith
D) On defence, he was bringing eight guys in the box early and often - and paid for it. You can't play that way against coach Dave's Eagles. Strahanfan should have read Dave's Madden tracker for early scouting. Dave thinks the run is something you do when you're up 35. But, again, I can't stress this enough - there's a time to be manual and there's a time to think about not being manual. Strahanfan needs to find a balance.

I have never played someone like you this year, you pass so often and I was just not expecting that. That's why my first quarter blew but I got better at stopping your O each and each quarter.

I def manual wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much but its a habit that i can't get rid of. Most of the time I screw myself with manualing with a safety.

[dave]

You pass so often.

I play Eagles football, baby.

If Andy Reid had his way, they'd never run.

So coach Dave tries to think the same way.

When you showed 8 in the box, I salivated like a fat kid at McDonald's.


Be honest ... when you saw my offence - you said to yourself "Holy fuck, I'm actually playing the Eagles!"

[strahanfan92]

trust me i know eagles offence, sometimes big red loses games just because he hates running lol...

most notably a giants overtime win over the eagles in week 2 a couple years back

So did you say what I think you said?

Sidenote: Get AIM you putz. I don't like carry on post-game conversations here. It's stupid and takes too long.

I'm at work right now.
I'm kinda sick of seeing the Giants, so we should use different teams - some sort of division rivalry game.

I quit this particular game because SecondComing showed poor sportsmanship up 28-0, refusing to punt, even though it was clearly 4th down after a fumble ,,, but the game, for whatever reason, gave him a first down.

And it was 28-0! The game was over. (Though I would have kicked regardless of the score) I clearly sucked all game and make no excuses. He won fair and square.

I have no issues with his gameplay otherwise. He played straight.

Please count this game to the Tracker. He won legitimately. I am just pissed off that he showed poor sportsmanship in that case.

I will not spend any time or effort on a game post here if guys are going to do this.

Damn. Now I wish I waited for Tim. What a waste of time.
