Grinders Discussion Thread

i'm down for sim i won't be able to play anyone other than my cpu team week 3

if we gonna sim preseaon i wanna make my own cuts tho

Oh yeah. We will need to be able to do our own cuts for sure.

My first preseason game with nichols disconnected in the first quarter, and my game with gene disconnected in the second yesterday and the connection didn't come back.

My internet service started out good when I joined Grinders a year ago, but has gotten worse and worse, and is the only option in my area unfortunately. I'm going to try and play one more game, but if that disconnects too I'm just gonna go on autopilot for a bit. I'm moving to an area with two or three different ISPs in two weeks or less, so this issue should be corrected soon.

ADVANCED TO WEEK 3 OF PRESEASON.

Poor Auburn trees...

Saw your sis the other day hawk. Had no idea she was BFF's with Lennay.

ADVANCED TO WEEK 4 OF PRESEASON.

So yea.... I played my game against the CPU Colts and happened to score 86 points. I honestly wasn't trying to score that many points but it's hard not to when you have 3 kick returns for TD's and 3 interception returns for TD's.... I also didn't complete a pass over 15 yards. I even got stalled out in the redzone 3 times because I was just running run plays up the middle. I just don't want people to think I'm a stat padder/score runner upper.

The bad news. I lost 3 guys to injuries and 2 of them were big parts of my team.

HB Al Bostick (Starting HB) - 4 weeks
OLB Marcus Barnes (Backup LB) - 7 weeks
WR Brandon Lloyd (Probably my best all around WR) - 7 weeks

The Brandon Lloyd injury bothered me the most because I've already lost WR Eddie Royal for 4 weeks from an injury in the preseason. The Bostick injury also hurts a lot because he was my speed RB and I was also using him as my KR while Eddie Royal is out. Hopefully my offseason moves and the depth of my team can help me out for a few weeks!

Just a reminder.

CPU Deadline is tonight at Midnight (12:00am Saturday), all USER vs CPU games must be played by then, any USER vs USER games not scheduled prior are subject to being simmed. Deadline for USER v USER games is tomorrow at Midnight.

Hey guys as most of you know I'm on vacation. I should be back Monday or Tuesday full time, but just wanted to let you guys that have text me or whatever know why I haven't responded if I didn't. I've been pretty busy but looking forward to kicking all your asses soon.

I think we're good to advance whenever someone is able to do it.

Advanced.

Scheduling/CPU Deadline: Tuesday 9 am
Advance Deadline: Wednesday 9 am

A couple of things:

1. The Denver Broncos are 2-0.

2. Does anyone know the status of yung (Panthers owner)? Him being on auto doesn't really effect(affect?) me much, but I know he is a good player and I'm sure it would be good for the league if he gets back to playing. He also seemed to be fairly active on the boards.

3. The Raiders owner does exist. I thought he may have been M.I.A. after being on auto through the off-season, preseason, and week 1 of the regular season, but I was able to get a hold of him through text today to play our game.

4. Just wanted to give Urb and whoever else has helped bring in some new members some praise. Keeping a user total this high, this long into a Madden season, has surprised me (in a good way ). Hopefully everyone here, is here for the long run and maybe we can get a few more as the season goes!

Good Luck on the season guys! Let's get those games played!

It's always a fun time in this league. The number of users is a big reason for that

PS: Dallas 2-0 as well!

Shock we up next, hit me up when we advance

We're past the scheduling deadline, still a bunch of user games left. What's up guys?

Mine and stop's game is scheduled for noon. Other than that, I'm not sure what's up with them. I know that Joker is supposed to be playing the cpu now, bc TJ is on auto. Chaos/Ready should be playing sometime today too as far as I know. Things will return to normal tonight though. I'm back. Let's roll bitches.

Wassup looking to rejoin back. is it possible if i can join up.

Why no advance? Last game scheduled was played, Skins and Vikings were scheduled but Chaos acting like a child seems to have delayed that. Vikings user should play CPU and advance afterwards.

I was under the impressions we actually followed the rules. Me and Joker hadn't got our game in and since schedule deadline was early this morning and I couldn't go Sunday I went ahead an AP myself so things could move on. Guess I should have known that I could get special treatment as well.

And why is Shooter back in?

I've been out of town and wasn't sure what all was going on with all of the shannigans that seemed to have happened while I was gone, so I was giving it a few extra hours to get things straightened out. I didn't have time before going straight to work after my game to figure out who had done what. When we advance tonight, things will go back to normal.

Are the remaining games starting in the next 15 minutes? Because if not we'll be past the deadline before they're finished.

Deadline was 9 am

Tried logging into the the commish's account to advance. Didn't work. Who ever can advance, please do so.
