The energy feels different to start the half.

That Allen fumble is also the type of thing that can invigorate the other team and change the tide of the game.

How McDermott doesn't just call up to Daboll and tell him to not have a designed Allen run the rest of the game is beyond me. That is how you ruin a season, designed runs up 21-0 where your QB gets hurt.

Play action isn't going to work if you aren't going to run the ball.

Josh, DO NOT SHAVE THE STASH!!!

I think as long as the Bills are winning, Diggs won't care.

I guess we don't want to run our running backs at all this year?

No special team flags, yet!!

Can we get Tiki Barber in here to teach Josh how to carry the ball. High and tight, high and tight.

Come on Josh. Protect the damn ball.

I'm pretty sure its just on the broadcast, they aren't pumping in crowd noise to the stadium. From what I know.

They aren't pumping that into the stadium. As far as I know its just over the broadcast.

I thought we let Roberts go?

First W of the season. Won the coin toss!!

How long before the first [insert coaches name] needs to be fired post of the season?

Sitting at my house in Iowa. Working on school work while I watch the game on our TV. The wife will be watching her Packers on the iPad.

Bye weeks are entirely necessary. We should be keeping bye weeks.

You clearly don’t understand the first amendment. So let me clue you in. It only protects you against the government jailing you for saying something they don’t like. It doesn’t protect people from telling others to shut up about complaining about a small little social justice at the beginning of the game in a time where big changes need to happen in this nation so that everyone is actually treated equal.

Shut up. These things are important.

If I was the owner, I'd want the headset every weekend. I'd just be so fascinated by the decisions that are being made. I'd just be really cool and interesting to me.

OMG, alls I want to do is play Warzone with Josh Allen.

I think it came today because yesterday a bunch of African American players put out a video about how the NFL needs to stands up, so the NFL couldn’t wait until Monday. They had to do it today.

I don't think he was able to play O-Linemen at the WR position. Now, he may have just selected the WR that had the best blocking stats. What he did do was play a punter at QB, which you can do because generally the kickers are your teams emergency QBs. This allowed him to spend more money on other key positions to benefit the run game.

What do you mean? Like if I took Dion Dawkins and made him a slot receiver without adjusting any of his stats? I just did this in Madden. Dawkins is a 77 overall in my online franchise as a LT. If I change him to WR so I can play him in the slot his rating drops to an overall of 12. So, you can't just take players and move them where ever and not think their rating is going to suffer if you play them out of position. Now, I can go in and change all his ratings so that he could be an amazing receiver without changing his body make-up but I have to do that automatically. Also, if you're in game you can't just move a left tackle to WR, it doesn't give you that option, its something that has to be edited through a menu out of game and you have to officially change his position. Now, that doesn't mean that you can't change where he plays on the offensive line on the fly, as all those are interchangeable. I can move Dawkins to wherever I want on the line without having to edit his official position.

Because Madden uses a much more complicated abilities rating system to come up with how a player performs than a game on the NES. That was probably the only way for them to really make someone better or worse minus so adjustments like shot speed. Madden has 26 different categories that each have a rating that together make up a QBs overall. Madden has people whose sole job is to come up with player ratings, which are adjusted throughout the year by official rosters. They aren't going to build in an algorithm that automatically changes x rating based on x weight increase or decrease. That's why you have to download and use official EA rosters for online competitive play. Also, you can go in and change a players ratings individually if you want. So, if you are going to go and make a player fatter than go one screen over and bring his speed down.
