Time To Pay The Bills

[RockSteady]

Also, how did the patch effect your sliders? Did it fuck with 'em?

[mfbmike]

Haven't downloaded the patch yet. I will before the coming preseason and give em a whirl and see if any changes need to be made.

It sucks losing in the playoffs but I don't want to fuck with em and win a ship easily. lol.

[mfbmike]

Can't wait to see what signings you made.

Maybin and Tolliver off the edge? Oh lord!

It's disgusting. lol.

Plus 2 90+ DT's (Parker, Stroud.)

Well, Stroud if I bring him back. He's asking for a lot of money but im inclined to give it to him. He's a big reason for the success of Maybin and my pass rush as a whole.

I want him to retire a Bill.

[mfbmike]

LOL at Hines finishing his career with the Giants.
Where's Maybin on the Progression list? Don't tell me he didn't gain any points in his overall rating with 24 sacks.

Zilch. Stayed at 86 OVR.

I can't say I mind all that much. If he got a rating boost, it might've gotten a little bit out of hand. rofl.

Bills Could Be Close To Making A Move



With negotiations with offensive lineman Mike Kormylo approaching a standstill, chances are the 3rd year pro could end up testing free agency waters leaving a gaping hole in the Bills front line.

The Buccanneers (4-12 a season ago) have been openly shopping guard Jeremy Zuttah and are desperately seeking a wide receiver to bolster what was one of the league's worst offenses a season ago.

Zuttah is a versatile offensive lineman but is unfortunately stuck behind Davin Joseph on the Bucs depth chart.

Aside from Antonio Bryant, the Bucs receiving core is made up of guys who are no better than #3 or #4 receivers on most teams.

The Bills are still in contract negotiations with Lee Evans while Davone Bess put together his first 1,000 yard receiving season last year so chances are he won't be heading anywhere.

The most recent Bills rumors involve them sending Earl Bennett to the Bucs in exchange for Zuttah. While nothing is confirmed at this point, a source close to the Bills says that the talks are "heating up."

RG Mike Kormylo 86 (-2)

He went down 2 rating this offseason and wants some rediculous 5-6 year deal worth a shit ton of money.

He can't be serious.

Earl Bennett (84 OVR) becomes their #2 receiver.

Jeremy Zuttah (85 OVR) takes over at RG with me giving Kormylo the boot.

I sifted through the in game trade block to find this and I think it make's a lot of sense for both teams. The Bucs were shopping Zuttah for an 80+ receiver.

Probably because Davin Joseph is 90+ and in front of him on the DC.

Bennett being in the slot for me really doesn't do him justice. The guy is entering his prime and considering how bad the Bucs receivers are, lol.

iirc, Bryant is an 87 then noone else is above a 75 or 77.

[Vinsane]

The trade makes a lot of sense, and fills needs for both teams.

I approve

[DJ Rhude]

in catchup mode again lol

Damn another frustrating playoff loss...well on the bright side at least you have a reason to keep playing this game lol....would suck to dominate but I know you gotta be having enough of these playoff exits regardless

Cowboys win the SB? *sees pic of Romo, throws up in mouth....explanation: I'm a diehard Giants fan*

The coordinators you brought in were solid....should do wonders for progression in key areas

WTF again about Kawika???? Did dude already retire for two years without informing the Bills organization?

[DoubleDeuce]

Lulz. You can't win in the playoffs

GL Next year though

[Justo]

mike i wouldn't suggest changing the sliders at all, i use the same ones as you and the patch made them better IMO, penalties and all that still are at reasonable rates and it is only a little harder but not enough to change them

[LC AAU]

I'd definitely trade Bennett if he's playing the slot for you. I'm sure you could get a cheap young guy to play there.

lol, they've been successful over the past couple of years after bringing in Ron Rivera. Finally won it all.

As far as Kawika, no ideal. I really thought he would be one of the guys that would maintain his presence throughout the years. He was alright though with Ingram out considering the rating drop. I'm letting him walk this year.

As far as the coordinators, had to fork out some extra cash for em but can't really put a price on coaching staff when you're trying to win now.

bess can carry your team single-handedly

Bess is a great WR2. He doesn't have the speed that Evans has but the guy catches almost everything thrown his way.

My idea is to trade Bennett to fill the hole being left by Kormylo's greedy ass and then try to get a speedy WR around 80 rating or so with 90+ speed to catch passes out of the slot.

Lulz. You can't win in the playoffs

GL Next year though

fuckin lulz indeed. it's rediculous. lol

Sounds good. I'll probably give em a whirl in the preseason just to make sure.

PLAYOFFS!? PLAYOFFS!? YOU KIDDING ME!? PLAYOFFS!?

I'D BE HAPPY IF WE WON A GAME...in the playoffs, lulz.

[mfbmike]

dude can you send me your slidersss in a private message or link or somethimg pleaseee..

I'm curious as well, though I think I have a good slider set for me. Which sliders do you use?

my sliders r crap ;(

\

They are derived from a slider set that was posted on like page 4 of this chise or something. Minor tweaks to keep games challenging for me, although it does = the cpu pulling off some cheese shit from time to time. lol.

PLAYOFFS!? PLAYOFFS!? YOU KIDDING ME!? PLAYOFFS!?

Bills Part Ways With Bennett



Earl Bennett caught 53 passes for 693 yards and 4 touchdowns out of the slot for the Bills a season ago.

But come next season, Bennett will be wearing a different jersey and probably see a lot more passes heading his way.

The Buccaneers and Bills have come to an agreement on a trade that will send Bennett, a free agency acquisition in 2011, to the Buccaneers for offensive lineman Jeremy Zuttah.

"I'm excited to go out there and play a bigger role," Bennett said at a press conference held in his favor in Tampa Bay.

Bennett, 26, is entering the prime of career and will add much needed firepower to a Buccaneers offensive attack which struggled to move the ball down the field and put up points on the board a season ago.

The trade makes a lot of sense for both teams and comes as no surprise as the Bills negotiations with RG Mike Kormylo regarding a contract extension appear to be getting nowhere.
