GG Cardinals. I'm just about ready to give up on passing. Another 3 picks and a pick 6....

Good game, that was the second onside recovery on me this season and last time, the team beat me, I was shaking there at the end but glad we held on. Without those picks I think you handily with this game.

One of the more intense sweat moments in MFN is when you have pretty much dominated the game up until 4 or 5 minutes left, you have a 10 - 13 pt lead, then the opposing team ekes out a first down or gets a penalty for a first or both, and then proceeds to drive down the field vs a suddenly helpless defense and gets the TD with about 1 1/2 min left or more. Then its time for the Onside kick!! The sweat level goes way up if they recover the kick, lol, especially if your lead is 3 or less. That's what happened to the Pack 2 games ago vs Denver, a real ***? moment, along with a few things like "R U shttin me!!!" thoughts & expressions.

RE giving up passing .... even with the substantial increase in picks & lower qb ratings, I think the passing game is still a must, especially when trailing by 7 or more going into the 4th qtr. One option, to lower the risk of interceptions may be to use a rule based on score, more running when even or ahead, less when behind.

And what about this Rams team ghost, you have done a splendid job, an unbelievable job in a major turnaround, and are on the verge of setting a win loss record for the LA Rams! I really hope you do it, **** you got a habit of doing things like that in various leagues! Pass on a little bit of your knowledge please

All blind luck, lol

Like **** it is Grey! ha! You know what you're doing, what works & what doesnt, and how to improve a roster along with play selection/rules/gping. It's not luck when the results are consistent across several teams/leagues. For those who want to try and figure out how it's done, you should look at the transaction records (cuts/signees, trades, & draft) and pay attn to the play counts/results when you scout the Rams and/or review the last couple of game logs.

Thanks for that. This is something to avoid and I think all owners should be cautious of. I am not sure when it started happening, maybe when I started writing team news and league news. I started becoming attached to my players. I have found in the moments between focus I am creating backstories for my players, where they are from, what their hobbies are, favorite colors, etc. If an owner gets to this point, they have gone to far. :) lol

For me, it's the "diamonds in the rough" that I get the biggest kick out of and attached to. The FA's you get for minimum salary that perform at an above average level. Thats where your weights come into play, especially for key attributes. And is some cases, like the Pack's DE Timmy Camp last season (20+ sacks), there are really no indications of the player even having the capability of performing at that level. Camp is now in his 14th season, my weights have him overall rated at 60, and like the rest of the DE's in MFN, has been "neutered" by 4.5. I came close to cutting & replacing him at the start of the season, but the "attachment" kicked in, lol. He is still doing a good job, just not getting the pass rush anymore and sacks have been cut in half or more by 4.5. cheers
