Purple Punishment

Any chance Victor Ochi sticks on the PS? I know he might not be ready to make the 53

Trevor Simian has been named the Broncos starter for the 2016 season. Poor Sanchize...former first rounder is beaten out by a 7th rounder. 

Denver wont repeat this year. They should not have gambled on their QB position like they have 

Paul Kruger has been cut by the Cleveland Browns

This is how RB's from the last few years stack up for me, as prospects coming out.

1. Fournette????

2. Gurley

3. Cook

4. Elliott

5. McCaffery

6. Chubb

6. Gordon

Can you explain Fournette as your number 1? When he faced Alabama, he looked very very human. Is this something of concern for the youngster when he faces NFL caliber defenses?

I'm in. My name is a nod to the HOF head coach of the Bears and Saints

3 preseason games into this guys Rookie season.... I've never seen a fan base like ours. The sky is falling if he doesn't pan out in 3 preseason games... That's my take right there. Give the young man some time.

but let's play devils advocate.... If KC doesn't pan out. We had our chance to take Myles Jack, and Noah Spence. We kept getting cute thinking Spence would be there after our second trade back in the second and he wasn't. You can blame them all day for squandering 1st rd talent on the table for some 5th rounders.

Our team operates this way and we have been successful for a very long time.

I agree that no one really compares and I don't really agree with AP. AP is such just a violent, downhill runner. Barry would just shake you out of your shoes and cut across the field for a long touchdown.

I don't think he compares anymore, but Chris Johnson in Tennessee was the closest to Sanders, to me.

I only believe the comparison of Barry to AD starts and stops at beating a full box.

CJ2K is a fair comparison.

I don't think anyone is like Barry Sanders. He's a once in a lifetime talent and his talent was squandered by Detroit.

If there ever was a close comparison, I say AD. Barry would start his runs against a stacked box and 5 yards behind the LOS. Not many backs can beat 8 in the box like Barry did. Peterson is who comes to mind in that respect.

In terms of speed and finesse at a close 2nd, I would say... Arian Foster

Since it has to do with old school games I'd figure I'd post about this.

This November Nintendo is releasing a NES mini console with 30 classic games pre loaded for only $60.

It is exciting but cmon, 30 games?

Not so sure that Mingo will do much for the Pats. He didn't do anything in CLE. Knowing NE though, he will beast out for them

If they would only take what this game does so well, mix it in with some of the best franchise mode pieces of Madden, and add the game play options of the best Madden....they would make the best dang football game ever.

I think they just did. Get Madden 17

But what's his tackle rating lol...

 

I usually just go for the strip. Brandon Williams and CJ usually do the hard hitting/force fumbles for me. I'm in like year 2030 in my connected franchise so I have a very vague memory of past (current) Ravens players 

I edited him last night a little. I think it was 64. Extremely low.

One thing I did notice, I shot B Williams stats thru the roof and changed his contract back to year 1.

After the the first game of the season, he wanted to renegotiate his contract. I wonder if madden will have players hold out? 

I have have enjoyed playing just a couple of this seasons games. I haven't touched Madden since 2012 and this experience has been very pleasing!

i loved the beginning of the game where you take the Rams team down the field. Really cool!

The quick button presses to do moves to get you through defenders is quite fun as well. 

All in All, I'm digging it!

You all got some solid lineups! Just so everyone is clear, I didn't have enough Ravens to cover teams so I went with a rivalry edition. I live in Cincinnati, so I got two dudes who are Bengals fans, one who is a  Redskins fan, and the other who is a Giants fan. One of my guys went full Bengal. I should have showed him the ropes. He picked up the whole damn roster. So we gotta make sure a Ravens come out as the winner. Though, I'll be sure to win it for the Flock. 

Wasn't too thrilled with my lineup, but I'll take it.

QB Tyrod Taylor
HB CJ Anderson, Carlos Hyde, Johnathan Stewart, Duke Johnson, Bilal Powell
WR Antonio Brown, Alshon Jeffery, Jordy Nelson, John Brown, Sterling Shepherd, Willie Snead, Travis Benjamin, Will Fuller
TE Delanie Walker
DP Jamie Collins 
D Raiders
K Catanzaro

 

You took the Raiders! I wanted them. I had them and the Jags as my second choice in my que. You made my choice for me.....jerk, lol

QB- Blake Bortles, RG3

HB- Eddie Lacy, DeMarco Murray, Melvin Gordon

WR- Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Doug Baldwin, Larry Fitzgerald, Allen Hurns, LaQuon Treadwell, Sammie Coates

TE- Antonio Gates

DP- Khalil Mack, CJ Mosley

D- Cardinals, Jags

K- Cairo Santos

I liked the draft idea. Too many bench players by the end though. 

I came away with AD, Lacy and Demarco. I'm happy with that

I assume there is no buy-in?

Nah, if there was, y'all could just route your sweet moolah to me cause I'm running away with this thing

Let's get it

Let's just do it Monday evening??

Cleveland might be a problem this year offensively. Gordon, Coleman, now Pryor burning the hell out of Desmond Trufant. Hue has them buying in 

Let's do it! PM me details!

I joined

Seems pretty good, but would better if it's a PPR league.

It is!!!

on another note, carl davis just looks like a very average player at best in the NFL. I don't see him ever being an impact player at this level.

So, one preseason game in, and you make that determination? 

Sami, you're the biggest troll I've ever encountered on the intrawebz

I'm ready! Can't wait to see our boys play 2 drives lol
