AE AE17 Launch & Discussion thread

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned a Jarryd Hayne division. Everyone would be wanting to win that one.

It's been a lifelong dream of mine

 

[aussiedude]

i have no idea who will win today. I changed to the Bucs about 5 mins ago, and just changed back to the Pats and dropped from 7CR to 5.

Its not often the Pats lose back to back games. and i just cant trust Winston to be consistent.

 

[Kadog]

All world QB busts for division names next season? Imagine winning the Ryan Leaf or Jamarcus Russell division!!

Andre Ware says allo

 

[Woodson]

Burningleviathan will be in the spotlight today as he's amongst the remaining 38 with a last lifeline in 3XKO.
He selects Brady and BB to claim their maiden victory in Tampa Bay. Only three of the 34% have pitched full points for the Pats.
Galactic has a Hot Streak of SIX going.. and he's locked in the Buccs !! But at the same time going the whole hog (CR) on his beloved Patsies. Something has to give here folks!! Galactic's ND opponent, statsman74 has pitched just six on NE.

Bucs @ 1

 

[11sjw]

Bucs @ 1

@3 in mine. Opponent has them @2!

Wk5 TNF Wrap: One of the most underwhelming contests ends with one of the more edge of the seat finishes you care to remember!!

The Buccaneers only looked a slight possibility of snatching a victory from the jaws of defeat after the Patriots lost interest in running out the clock with over five minutes remaining (BB must of sneezed and lost track of time by trying to find someone to wipe the mucous from his hand) as they were forced to punt around midfield. A rallying quick drive (2:17 / 9 plays) by the Buccs that ended in a 18 yard TD pass to TE Cameron Brate to pull the Buccs within 2 (16-14) with just over 2min remaining. An onside kick didn't work which ended in a short field but a strong defensive effort by the Buccs forced the Pats to try a 48 yard FG which Stephen Gostkowski nailed... the Pats forced the Buccs to use their final time out in this one minute drive which was the catalyst to victory.
With the margin now being 5 points, the Buccs equation for victory was simple, get the required 75 yards with 70 seconds remaining but no time outs.

Fast fwd 67 seconds>> the Buccs stop the clock with a pike inside the redzone. The equation: 19 yards with three seconds remaining.

With an all out WR set, the third year veteran QB (James Winston) refuses to survey his options as they gallop downfield.. he just decides to go straight down the middle without a second thought *blinkers* unloads a spearing toss to the rookie TE, O.J. Howard who barely got targeted all game which was a pass that needed to dissect three defensive backs instead determining the best option... a second round CB, Cyrus Jones throws out his hand to knock the ball down incomplete in the endzone, to secure an ugly victory that was more about the Tampa Bay mistake riddled Offense who at one stage were 0 / 7 on third downs.

BB gets my gameball for simply outsmarting the opposition in exhausting the Buccs time-outs. That's why the Pats are 44-10 after loss since 2003.

Given some of the spudtastic games this week, that 14CR lobbing feels like a 16CR tip.

Thank you Nick Folk.

I was battling with this last night as well. Ultimately I just went back to my Hard Knocks impressions of Winston being a complete fraud of a leader and that the Giants almost got them last week. So I loaded 12 on the Pats. Turns out so did my ND opponent.

Phew.

 

[balmainforever]

Wanted to change to TB.
Got to work and forgot until 11.30. Too late.
Sometimes work is a good thing.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Anyone who had 12 or greater on Pats should be penalised.

@3 in mine. Opponent has them @2!

11sjw v TGBB in the week Chiefs take on Texans. Is this Woodson's doing?

 

[exe ex machina]

What I hate is when you tip an underdog and they almost did win, or like today, shouldve. It's like you were smart enough to sniff out the upset, but they either choked away a big lead or missed a last second winning FG, etc.

 

[BornAgainIdiot]

Why? For ultimately knowing Jameis is a spud and therefore betting against him?

Story of my AE career. I'm like the worst of GG without the glory years.

There are no glory years in the GG annals just heartbreak and silliness.

That was like me with San Fran last week. They find a way to lose

Stop justifying yourself.

Fact is, a broken clock is still right twice a day.

But one of your DZE Wk4 companions is NOT done yet.. Striker475 is a fighter!! His AE windows are not smashed yet.

[statsman74]

Had the Pats at 12 or 13 CR from memory but dropped them to 6 when Gronk was out. Feels like a decent process but a rubbish result now.

 

[raskolnikov]

FU Steelers.

 

[fuey]

What's the record for lowest score for someone who's actually tried??

I reckon I could give it a shake...

 

[peterbuch74]

Ugh... there's goes my hotstreak!

 

[raskolnikov]

Ugh... there's goes my AE season!
