GG Tecra031,

Wow, my team really stunk this one up. Multiple turnovers, most of them leading to points really cost us this game. Our defense also did a horrible job in the first half. 2nd half was much better on defense, but not enough to overcome how terrible the first half went. You have another wonderful team Tecra031. Going to have to go back and study this one and figure out what went so terribly wrong here.

GG KC,

NJ finally put together a few solid quarters of football. We played very well in the first 3 quarters, but seemed to melt down a bit in the 4th. Fortunately, we were able to hold the lead with our defense in the 4th quarter.

GG WarEagle,

Nice to test my team against one of the NFC`s best, a GM who knows what he`s doing,and to come out on top to, was very satisfying.


Thanks. My record is better than my team right now. You pretty much dominated me.

Good luck the rest of the way.

How did I end up losing to Indianapolis?

Watched my quarterback throw 4 interceptions, 2 of them being thrown to a poorly rated WLB Robert Hendrix https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/player/11024
Their backup RB mustered more yards than my starting RB who is rated around 80 with my weights while his RB was rated in the low 30's https://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/player/9956 and running behind an below average OL. Comparing my defensive line to Indy's offensive line, we should have had a better chance at getting sacks than Indy did.

Also their top 2 Wide Receivers for the day, yardage-wise, beat out my defensive backs more than once and comparing the two receivers to any of my defensive backs, its definitely weighted in my favor.

INDY WR Ryan Elliot 2 rec 49 yards under my ratings: 39/49
INDY WR Richard Rios 4 rec 39 yards under my ratings: 37/42

Average current rating of all of my secondary players under my weights: 65

Sorry for the little rant, but it was quite irritating to see my 70+ overall QB throw picks to poorly rated defensive players against average to high rated receivers while the other team only threw 1 pick against me and Indy's quarterback (who is rated good, but not stellar) found below average receivers time and time again against much higher rated defenders.

But it is what it is sometimes I guess. Just don't get how my defense can't cover anyone, letting players with low route running, ball carrying, and pass catching skills make catches with ease.

Looks as though he swapped his dbs for wrs. Good try. 42 speed return man. None of it makes any sense cause the team won. Does swapping postions change contract demands? Or are the monetary demands the same?

Also, hendrix played WR last season. He has good hands. Must explain the picks?

Same kind of **** happened to me against Houston, my roster is far superior yet none of my players could do anything and their low 70s and 60s WRs were torching my 90+ DBs and my high 80s WRs couldn't do anything against DBs rated in the 50s and 60s. It seems like it's just completely random sometimes. Very frustrating to say the least.

Isn`t it great that this game is not all about having all high rated players on your roster (however you`ve aquired them ,tanking/cheating), it`s much more...experience,good gameplans and a fair old slice of luck.

Just infact like the real NFL.

Agree. I've drafted in the very bottom of the draft for a decade.

20% roster, 60% game plan 20 % luck

Yeah I get the luck part and how underrated players have their lucky or breakout games.. But to beat out an 80 rated DB from a 30-40 rated player a couple of times, especially how the two of them were rooks beating out veterans, is very frustrating.

A receiver shouldn't be positioned as a WLB either, just takes away from that players potential and the game. Also, two of their 3 cornerbacks who are rated in the low to mid 30's are rated in the 70's as receivers. Changed position this year during one of the early midweeks.

I see the controversy's still here..
