Great game Atlanta going 1-1 the first 2 weeks against the 2 super bowl teams is not bad. The scoring fest of the first half turned into a punting battle in the 2nd half. The biggest play of the game was after the 2:00 warning my backup QB came into the game for 1 play and threw an interception as my team was starting to get down the field.

GG Dallas. The NFC East division is going to be a great battle.

Paydirt News
We are 2 weeks into the new season. Let’s look at what has happened. Beercloud has left Paydirt and the vote for the new admin is currently tied. Hopefully we can get some more voters to decided who their new admin will be.

AFC West The Wild West is looking milder than ever to start the season. It looks like a 2-team race already. Meatmen has decided not to fill out his roster even though the Chiefs have 86 million in cap space. I hope everything is ok there. The team dropped their first 2 games and they weren’t pretty. Oakland looks like they want to take over as worst team in Paydirt after finishing the last 3 seasons at 5-11. It looks like it might be worse this season PF-7 PA-72 through 2 games.

AFC East Hopefully the Bills have woken up since their disappointing 1982 season where they went from 13-3 conference champ to under 7-8-1. They did get a big 20-point win over last season’s AFC East champ Miami who is already 2 games behind. Gustoon has come back to the Jets after taking a few seasons away from the team. Amalric7 just continues to lose games in his 8th season in the league his best finish has been 7-9. Hopefully he can figure things out soon and make a competitive team.

AFC North Pittsburgh has a new GM who is now expected to compete in the crowded north. Cleveland wants to go into an all out rebuild but Warthog can still compete. Baltimore won it all last season and now has the pressure of trying to be the first repeat champion. Voegma always has the Bengals playing at a high level. The whole division is tied at 1-1.

AFC South The Texans have now won the division 5 years in a row and look to make it a 6th. DJSim22 has different plans after missing the playoffs 7 years in a row they finally made it back with a wild card in 1982. They lost in the wild card round to non-other than the Houston Texans. Greyghost1225 failed to reach the playoffs in his 4 seasons in Jacksonville but a new GM has taken over. Dd35 has something to prove after a 2-win performance last season.

NFC East The Eagles have never won the division or a playoff game. CoachSimpson wasn’t exactly loved in his return to Philly last season as the team could only get 3 wins. This season the team is 2-0. Maybe things can be different this year in Philly. This division has been owned by Washington and Dallas since the league started as New York has never even made the playoffs. Mitch4742 has had 9 seasons to make it happen and the fans need to see some winning.

NFC West Seattle has history on their side and the Rams may have one of the best GMs in MFN but right now Arizona has a 2-game lead on both. Arizona has never won the division but CoachNorm is ready to change that in his 8th season with the team.

NFC North CrazyRazor has also decided he will play short staffed with 80 million in cap space. Winning fixes everything and so far, CrazyRazor has done that but getting shut out in game 2 is not a good start. OffensiveTaco was thinking about leaving after only getting 3 wins in his first season with Minnesota. The fact is the Vikings have a good roster and they were picked to win the division this season. Looks like they decided to show their strength in game 2 as they took down the NFC Champ on the road. Damion seemed to figure some things out last season but took 2 close losses to start this season. Green Bay may have some work to do as they just got embarrassed by New Orleans.

NFC South The Saints were picked to finish last in the division this year and Mcarovil didn’t like that, so he took out his anger on a couple teams to start the season. One game often decides who wins this tough division. The Bucs and Saints currently have the advantage. Carolina and Tampa play next week that game could mean a lot down the road. Carolina joins Baltimore as the 2 conference champs go down in week 2. Atlanta showed that they are not to be overlooked after going 1-1 against the 2 conference champs in the first 2 weeks.

Very well done, Awest. Thanks for the effort.

20 seconds no TOs guess it was dependent upon the length of the pass but literally anything with 20 seconds would be tough in this SIM. Better than running it with no TOs already in FG range......

GG Indy! Not sure why the game ended the way it did. I had the ball, completed pass to your 36 for first down with 20 seconds on the clock with me down by 3. Not sure why my team could not go down the field and set up and spike it in 20 seconds for an attempted 53 yarder to tie.

GG Voegma. I was wondering the same thing, figured it was OT coming. I hadn't actually watched a game in almost a season, so I'm not sure what happened or if this is common now.

GG mate! I was so disappointed after losing a big lead against Carolina in just 5 min, but like you said, 1-1 against the best is not that bad....Good luck the rest of the way!

GG Skins, looks like it will be tough to repeat this year as division champ. Not feeling to hot about my team this year, I feel like I don't have enough depth. Good luck the rest of the season at least til we meet again. LOL

GG hectorg93

This is really the first season that I have delved deep into gameplanning. I feel I am so close, but the last two weeks, there is just one drive that haunts me. (and the fact that my offense is subpar because I have a weaker QB and slow WR). Fingers crossed that I will get there eventually and maybe rattle off a few wins in a season
