Man what is going on with you??What is causing you the issues?Is it passing?the routes?Are you trying to use same passing game from last year?You have speed everywhere so I dont see whats hurting you.Slants should be open and ins and why not hit Bush in the flats or in the open?Just some tips as I know you will figure it out..If you down to lab Im also open for that too

T-1!!

LoL.. honestly ?? I really don't know.. usually I come off startin' a year off with a slightly above .500 record and just roll, but this year I gotta lot goin' on outside of Madden which doesn't really give me the time to figure things out.. I mean I gotta bodybuilding contest in 11 weeks and i've been seriously focused on that.. training, diet, prep and a good majority of get'n ready takes up a LOT of time.. I'm not going into this contest to come in 2nd, understand ??.. so you know, the lab time just isn't there like it should be, perhaps that's what's knocked me off a bit, but 10 in a row seems a bit ridiculous.. I don't know bra', and I mean I really don't know.. Your right, I got speed all over the place, and I'm not really usin' last years playbook, just doin' what the Saints do.. yeah I could use Reggie in the flats more, but that sumbytch gets hurt a lot it seems.. so again, don't know, maybe things will click after the 1st "W", but who the hell knows when that'll be.. Right now i'm absolutely terrified of throwin' the ball, and with Drew I shouldn't be.. I feel like i'm run'n Sage Rosenthals at QB, I mean the ball should be there like money and it's not, DB's step in at the last second and "pick" "pick" "pick".. it's frustrating.. I have the #1 offense in the NFL playing like it's the #32.. so who knows what the deal is, but i'm sure that sooner or later i'll turn the corner, OR, just focus on bodybuilding and say F' Madden.


0-10! <-- my personal reminder.

****************Seahawks (Bomberooski) @ Saints (NWSaint)****************

GG Bomberooski!

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, BUT..

THE MONKEY IS OFF MY BACK.......FINALLY!!!!

Taking it all in stride though, Bomberooski played a good game, but after 10 friggin' games the Saints finally clicked on ALL cylinders.. Robert Meachem begining to show the signs of exactly why the Saints drafted him in the 1st round 3 years ago with 2 TD grabs.. Trashing the Saints playbooks on offense and defense, New Orleans came out in a "new look" that still has the fans in shock.. Still, unable to go without throwing the INT's (only 2 though), the Saints offense managed a breath of life for at least one game against a rebuilding Seahawks stoudt defense.. Coach NW could be overheard on the sidelines saying "that's S*** that usually happens to us, I don't believe it, we just might actually get a win today".. And so it did.. again Bomberooski, great game, we'll rematch soon, and i'll hit ya up to put ya on my f/l on the S3.. check ya soon.

 

[NWSaint]

Ahhhhh, got time to run another, if anyone wants some Saints just hit me up here and we'll roll!!

No offence Bomberooski, but yay!

I feel your pain, Saint.

Sidenote: The Eagles are ready to host the new-look Saints. We should run 8-minute quarters Saint.

Take this for what it's worth Saint - and I mean no disrespect.

Here are recommendations from this corner based on our game:

A) Simplify your gameplan a bit more. IMO, you tend to get too exotic - and while that's cool - it doesn't work for non-manual players.
B) Lighten up on the pass/run ratio. You have two good backs, use both of them in the run game. The fewer passes you throw, the fewer INTs you throw.
C) Use Reggie Bush as an RB more. You use him effectively as a receiver, but he's non-existent as a runningback. You have to change that mentality. This guy is a serious threat out of the backfield (in Madden ... not the real NFL ). While I thought you using Mike Bell was unique and kind of cool, it took touches away from better players. Guys like you and I can't afford to take touches away from our best players.
D) Lighten up on the 8-man in the box defence - you don't have the manual skills to be player one-on-one on pass D. If you're gonna blitz, disguise it better.

All that said, playing a guy like you is cool because you do things differently. I enjoy our chess matches. I liked playing Hasselbeckfan for the same reason. He was the first guy I've played who consistently loved throwing the ball deep. I wanted to cry with happiness.

Dave!

The earliest i'd be able to get with you this week would be WED.. If you can make that then cool.. I'd be ready to k/o at..

3PM/PST- 6PM/EST<-- EDITED: **UPDATED**

..and again, if this works for you then great, but if not then it'll have to wait til' the weekend.. but i'm sure we'll roll no matter.. and yeah, 8's ?? hmmmm.. does it have a good feel it to it without the acc clock???? cuz i'd hate to feel like i've just played a 2 hour game.. LoL.. Anyways, let me know when it's good for you and we'll take it from there.. & btw, thanks for your insight, it's always good to be educated on views from the opposite side.

NW, sorry I missed your messages yesterday. I have a tendency to leave my PS3 on while I watch TV or am somewhere else in the house.

We'll run it soon -- glad to see you got your first W!!

Mo_D!!

Yeah right, I know the deal , just foolin'.. Let's try to shoot for this weekend sometime... All it took to get that "W" was to trash that Saints p/b and go with what I know, I mean Sean Paytons' p/b is not "NW"s p/b, I was tryin' to run "stock" and I damn near blew a gasket!!.. So F' all that, it's back to what I know & know well.. MY playbook!!.. and nooooooo I'm not givin' up which one it is, for that I'd have to kill ya, and you seem like a nice guy.. LoL.. until we play that is, and then I know that all pleasantries are out the window, on BOTH sides!.. check ya this weekend.

I used alot of playbooks. The NO Saints playbook is by far the best in the gm. It not even close. Ever since I use that playbook three gms ago. I score 27,38,40. I love their playbook. It have more wide open plays.

Well I don't know if i'd go as far as saying it's "the best", but it's not bad, but at the same time it's not me.. a p/b should represent what your ideas and theories of offensive gameplay are, and then have the ability to execute the plays.. Is it a good p/b ?? sure, why not.. does it suit the Saints personell offensively ?? Now that's my discrepency, IMO there's under-utilization all over the place, not to say someone couldn't force the issue or hot route here and there to compensate.. I just like it when I can look at a p/b and say "ok, here we go, this is how it's done", and then execute.. not spend an eternity tryin' to figure out who's goin' where, how much time you have to get rid of the ball waitin' on WR's to get into their patterns, etc.. I just wanna ball, that's pretty much the bottom line.. With the New Orleans p/b it appeared slightly different then in years past, as well it should, but it's just not built to run the same style of offense that I watch the Saints year in and year out.. I pay VERY close attention to details, record the games onto DVD (the real ones), then go back and dissect what they do offensively, then reconstruct it virtually so I can duplicate it in Madden.. *smile*.. So again, is it a good p/b ?? sure, but does it follow suit as how the Saints run their "O" ??.. for me, no.. but not to say that it couldn't for someone else, the great thing about individual p/b's is that it gives each of us the opprotunity to find out what works and what doesn't.. just my .02

We'll have to wait for the weekend, since I work 4-midnight EST.

As for the 8-minute quarters, we played 7 and it wasn't a big deal. I honestly don't see how 8 would be that huge a difference.
