well I dont like consistantly losing but i will say I hope someone from the board takes home the Sim Bowl....we cant have a league called Dawgtalkers and none of us win the Sim Bowl

now my team decides to wake up.... LOL... won the last 2 straight...there goes my #1 overall

That was me you beat Rabidawg, it was a pretty even game except 2 of my turnovers led to 10 pts for you. I started out 6-1 now i'm 7-7.

I had a good season.....that loss was in the Sim Bowl.....I would rather get smoked than to loose by 2 points..... ...oh well, better luck next year I guess....

I'm in a serious dogfight in the National South Division.....I have droppped the last 2....but I'm still only 1 game out of the division lead.....and my last 2 games are against the 2 teams ahead of me...I control my own destiny since I have alreay beat both teams once this year......but it seems that I always win one and lose one against division rivals, so we will see.....Is anyone here Atlanta, or carolina.....I know Rabid is New Orleans......but he is kinda out of it.....

Problem guys. Our next draft is Easter Sunday. I can't make it then and I'm guessing quite a few of you guys can't too. Is there anyway we can get it delayed a week?

Well that guy i suspected of cheating in another one of my leagues was at it again so i sent in a ticket about him and they determined he was farming talent so they gave him a warning and took away one of the teams from him.

If it was just us from Dawgtalkers, then it wouldn't be a problem....but I doubt that since it is now a public league that they would do that......if you can't make it, I have heard that the draft pools you can set up works pretty good....you just get kinda screwed on the durability......what I do is if I can't make the draft, trade for what I need using my picks......usually I end up with a bunch of 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks and you can just let the auto pick get you your depth players........that way, you get what you need, and you would be surprised on what you can get for draft picks.....just an idea.......

I just joined the Thurston league and took over the Cleveland team. The previous owner got busted for cheating just like you are talking about....he had two teams and was farming the good players and such......I got great skill position players, but he didn't do anything to the Ol or the DL.....so it doesn't help much that I have great QB, RB, WR's and can't get them the ball....I get sacked at least 5 times a game, I can't run for nothing, and I give up at least 100 yards a game.....and that is concentrating on stopping the run.....I think the best DL I have is like an 85 or so.......I have never seen anything like it...my starting RB is a 100 and I have a 1 or 2 year RB that is a 98 overall....same with the WR's....it is ridiculous......I hope he left me some draft picks, cause I am gonna need them to draft some lineman.....maybe trade for a few

Well Kansas City got in with a 10-6 record. Didn't see that coming. Oh well let's go win a Sims Bowl. Not likeley but I didn't see making the playoffs so who knows.

I want 7-9. Anyone with a really high pick and wants to trade down, send an offer to me.

I'm REALLLLLLY late to the party....but can i join one of your leagues? How does this work?

Well Brown all of us have a team in the dawgtalkers league, which is full at the moment, and then teams in other leagues. The first season of the Dawgtalker league will be done after this coming Tuesday and if someone drops out your more then welcome to join.

Damn really? ALL 32 teams? please tell me a steeler fan picked the steelers....


I joined some random one...i keept looking until i could pick cleveland(doesn't matter i guess..but i wanted cle)

They are on day 25 right now...playoffs...my team isn't terrible right now...i have 100 LB 100 OL and a decent QB with a rookie QB that has 100 potential. Since it's Cleveland obviously i'm not in the playoffs(slef burn) just yet. So i have to wait until the predraft days to see some real action.

Overall only postion lacking any depth is LB/DL/WR which i will be picking next week during the draft.

I'd like to get in line behind BrownBuck, if there are enough spots.

boo

I hope you aren't the browns

I don't want to steal someones spot....
My league is on day 28 right now. So i'll find out in the next couple of days how this works...i joined for 1 year on day 25....i wonder if it counts this ending year as "1 year" and i have to renew for next season tomorrow.


Oh and how do i find the dawgtalk one? do i just search for it? what is it exactly called.

thats my buddy, he hated doing it, but loved the Pittsburgh roster...its all about winning, and i dont blame him......


me personally I like taking the sucky teams and in 2 or 3 seasons having thme be consistent contenders

Be sure to spend some time online tommorrow and start that off season building process!!!!! (my favorite part!)

Guys what is the dawgtalkes league called? just that? how do i find it? i don't see it in the list of leagues. is it cuz the league is full? maybe thats why i don't see it. cuz every league i see has at least one spot right now

The league name is "Dawgtalkers" and we just had our SimBowl today so its still full. I'd start checking after Midnight tonight to see if a team opens up.

Hey guys is there a free agency period in this? like the playes you have need to be resigned? or is the FA just full of undrafted players?

No you don't have to re-sign your own players and most of the FAs before the draft are low potential players however after cut down day you may be able to find some good players. My Cincy team in another league just lost a Dlineman to injury in game 5 and to my luck there was a 9 year vet with an 84 rat/pot and 86 durability that was a FA because another team had to many good Dlinemen and was unable to trade one away before the season started and nobody else either needed him or didn't recheck the FAs available.

And just to add a little to that.....I have found now 3 players that have been injured for the season that for some reason the user decided to release. All 3 were 100 potential and 3 years old or younger.....so I signed them and they have climbed to a 70 or so current rating and still climbing and I did nothing but sign them...these are potential 1st round picks that people are just giving away.....I don't know if they are just giving up on them, or if this is some sort of strategy or what......but like the old saying goes "One mans junk, is another mans treasure"......the draw back is they all are still carrying a high 60's durability, but that too has climbed form a low to mid 50 range....I have gotten 2 LB's and a TE this way......I now check the FA list every day just in case.....in fact, I think I got the TE in our league......

looking at the draft it doesnt seem deep with established players this year...it seems like there is a descent amount of guys with POT but not current raitingds

also the # 5 overall is up for trade

I was kind of scared late last night. I was checking my teams around 12:30am and it didn't list my team for the dawgtalkers league so i was starting to panic cause i knew i had signed up for 2 years. I couldn't find it in the available leagues either. Luckily when i checked back this morning it was there.

j/c

I'm in a different league, and boy did I pick the worst team to take over. 71 overall, no offensive line, and all my good players are old.

Thankfully, because of a very high quality draft and a hard training camp, my team is an 80 going into the season. Unfortunately, the other three teams in the West are high eighties or low 90's. Hopefully a 16th year running back who has the ability of Walter Payton can carry me to the playoffs...I hope.

Hey how importat is the durablity? is high 70s low 80s ok? i mean what is the limit anyway? like anything below 80 is injury prone? does 100 mean they will never be hurt?

From my experience...stay away from the 50's and 60's, unless you can let them sit the bench for awhile...I don't mess with anyone lower than a 70 if any way possible. I had a LB start with a 57 durability, but it was a Lawerence Taylor with a 136 blitizing as a rookie, so I had to start him...well, needless to say within 3 games he was injured for like 5 games, he cam back got hurt again for the season....he has now sat out a whole year and is gonna start this season....he is currently an 85 durability...so if you can afford to have them sit the bench for at least a year...maybe have them as your LB5...or what ever position they play, I think they MAY turn out to be ok....

Damn thats good to know...i didn't know durability goes up if u keep them for a year or 2...i was going to turn down so many ppl in my draft cuz they had low low durablity. Thanks a bunch



PS- doesn't look like dawgtalk league will have anyone exiting this time around...

Man, did I ever draft a bust HB in the Fouts Draft 2 seasons ago.... I took him 3rd overall, he came out with Ability like OJ and 82/ Rating with an 86 durability. Well he has gotten injured 5 times in the last 2 seasons and is now a 62....uggghhhhh

My other league (Scott) I'm in I keep getting offers for my starting QB, he's a stud and people think I will just give him away.

In the Dawgtalkers league I'm willing to look at trades for picks my way, and defense for my offensive players.
