2019 Season: Week 3 Open

Two new users joined this week. GoBucks614 picked up his favorite team, the Atlanta Falcons. Jwiggs58 is a Patriots fan, and settled for the Oakland Raiders.  We might have a Saints user on the horizon.

This is the first week that you're able to scout college players as well for the upcoming draft. Remember, if you don't use them, only half carry forward to the next week.

It is expected of you and your opponent to try and schedule the game privately. Whether that is via Discord, PSN Message, text messages, smoke signals, whatever.  If your opponent has not responded to you within 24 hours of advance, there is a #scheduling section on discord.  Tag your opponent and @Commissioner to bring up the lack of communication.  This is the only way sim games will be awarded.

The AFC West and NFC North face each this season. The first user matchup features Hippo trying to find a rhythm with his less than stacked team. Joker on the other hand should be good as long as he's not lagging.

I don't know if it's the new settings, no Jordy, you guys have built super teams and I havent, or that I have totally declined...but I absolutely suck right now. In Week 1, even in non lag moments, EDJ bricked my offense and I couldnt do a damn thing vs Commando last night. I need to check if Rodgers' power went down because some bullet throws felt like Pennington was tossing them for easy picks

The Titans have a bit of RB battle going on as Latavius Murray regressed in the offseason leaving room for young new comer Derrick Henry to take over as starter. Latavius started the season as starter but got hurt on the first drive in game one vs the Browns, with Henry right on his "heels" Murray told Coach Davis to put him back in and the next play he fumbled. He did not see significant playing time in Week 2 vs the Texans and is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Raiders.

Coach Davis official announcement(via Twitter @CoachDavis561):
Latavius Murray, DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry are all on the last year of their respective contracts and will be treated as such. You perform, you play. That is why Derrick is playing right now. This is a fluid situation and we are still open to many options including trades and free agency for an established RB to run behind our All-Pro line. #Earnthatcontract

Who will #Earnthatcontract for the Titans in Week?

Super Bowl Super Bears!

In all seriousness, there is definitely a different feel to the games. But I'm liking the challenge. I couldn't run on you to save my life, and I didn't really feel the lag.

Checkdowns have been huge for me in saving drives and keep the 3rd down attempts short. If the DE warps off the snap, there's nothing you can do, he's going to kill your OT and sack you unless you're quick enough to scramble and throw it away.

Try new plays though too. I haven't had the super LBs jumping up for balls. I've been able to double tap the pass button and loft it over the middle.

Coaching Adjustments have to factor in too. Higher risk reward choices to how your team behaves. Go for the strip versus the safer tackle.

At the end of the First Quarter it was 10-7 Raiders and the Titans had nothing going for them. Derrick Henry had 5 carries for -2 yards and Marcus was facing a hectic pass rush from Khalil Mack. Once the second quarter started the Titans started to rely on good pass defense and WR Corey Davis leading the charge receiving, that lead them to a 31-7 run to close out the game.

Corey Davis had a HUGE(trump voice) game receiving finishing with 239 yards on 7 Reception with 2TDs, both being 60 yards or longer. Second year WR Garlic Lynch who emerged in the playoffs last season while Corey was hurt added in one catch for 73 yards and it being a TD. The defense added in Three Sacks and Four interceptions, with new Nickel CB starter Dezmen Southward having two ints, which were both Pick sixes.

GG Jwiggs!
