Isn't that something you do every week? Destroy all evidence of your game?

Isn't that something you do every week? Destroy all evidence of your game?

Absolutely. I have a strong belief in being consistent.

Besides. No point in living in the past. The future for this club is so damn bright

As soon as you get a tailback that can carry more than 10 times before breaking something.

I'll still give you McFadden for Jackson--younger, faster, and *slightly* more durable!!

[TCrouch]

No human games left this week (nice!)...can we flip?

I cant trade my guys. Im going down with banana and blue. Unless someone really wants Bulger

The strangest part about the Jackson injury problem is that he has a good injury rating.

Jackson actually made it through the entire game this week. Sure he was completely shut down but he survived to see at least one snap in SF this weekend.

We were schedule to flip tonight anyway, I'll just do it as soon as I get home around 7-8 CT

You DICK!!!!!!!

That's my game changer. Poke and prod the defense, then nail them with a LB on CJack for a huge gain or score, breaking open a game.

I hate you.

Think how much more entertaining it will be for you to win by one less touchdown. You might even be slightly tense during the second half!

Denver 31 - Titans 27

Todd might do a recap I don't know it's near impossible for me to do it without access to the website.

So, I just wrote up this lengthy recap, but my laptop crashed, so instead of doing that again, I'll just say that Dan has really hit his stride with the Broncos and even though I've been battling a bad cold--I can hardly blame this loss on that. . .if anything, my bad play was probably bourne out of the complacency developed by playing against the CPU more often than not.

The game was really tight for the most part and I actually had a 27-17 lead after this impressive 54 yard grab by Kenny Britt in the 3rd Qtr. (watch Dan's DB get force pushed out of the way):

<embed src="http://cdn.www.easports.com/static/127. ... player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=360&width=640&file=http://cdn.content.easports.com/media2/ ... ="></embed>

Dan wisely went no huddle after this play and got down the field in a hurry setting up this TD to Brandon Marshall:


<embed src="http://cdn.www.easports.com/static/127. ... player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=360&width=640&file=http://cdn.content.easports.com/media2/ ... ="></embed>

Dan's defense held stoutly on the next drive. . .he stopped CJ in his tracks on this play. . .

<embed src="http://cdn.www.easports.com/static/127. ... player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="height=360&width=640&file=http://cdn.content.easports.com/media2/ ... ="></embed>

Then it was a series of disasters for me. . .a punt returned 34 yards to the 34, a methodical drive by Dan scoring with only one minute left. . .nothing working on the 2-minute drill and a bad INT to end the game to Brian Dawkins. . .

Anyway, Dan it was a good game. . .I hope we can rematch in the playoffs. but my guess is that is probably unlikely. . .but with Madden you never know. . .good luck against Terry next "week"

For the Titans, next up is a rivalry game against Brando and his strong offense. . .in week one, the Titans snuck by their rivals 35-31. . .so it should be another good match-up

[TCrouch]

Think how much more entertaining it will be for you to win by one less touchdown. You might even be slightly tense during the second half!

...but then I'd risk a loss.

Hell, no!

Back to the drawing board...thanks a lot!

[Danimal]

Thanks for the recap Todd, I wish I could do them I would of put in the Hillis catch.

[tmdba37]

Thanks for the recap Todd, I wish I could do them I would of put in the Hillis catch.

Oh yeah, White Lightning, that bastard. . .I actually couldn't find it. . .there was a glitch or something due to the called back fumble-TD. . .so all of the quarters were messed up when I went to grab highlights. . .

[XXXIV]

Thanks for the recap Todd, I wish I could do them I would of put in the Hillis catch.

Yeah I really dropped the ball on our game. I knew you couldnt access anything yet I failed to act .

Great job again Terry...Brando you arent so bad yourself.

[Brando70]

you arent so bad yourself.

I think I'm going to use that as the title for my 2010 Texans Season DVD.

[Brando70]

Oh yeah, White Lightning, that bastard.

He's like a run-blocking Wes Welker in this game.

[vader29]

Do I finally get to play a human this week? Vader, are we up?

Yes, I can play tonight after 9pm or Friday or Saturday night same times whatever works for you. Will be only my third human game this season.

Great stuff Terry and Brando!

[TCrouch]

Vader, all of Oakland is rooting for you this evening!!!!

[corgy99]

XXXIV,
I will be out of town from tonight through Sunday. So I can play Sunday afternoon/evening, or Monday evening. Let me know if that will not work for you, I will leave the league today so you can play the cpu.

Sunday night is fine. Whats a good time?

Should be back early afternoon, so just about any time should work for me. Want to target 8-ish for now? I'll probably be on and around early like last time so we can start whenever you're ready.
