Can you beat me??? Didn't think so.

I'm just being honest... Don't let Phins bubblegum ways fool ya... He's trash. Take away the Bubblegum and he's just an below average madden player...

That bubblegum won't work this year...

Solid review. Fortunately I can control what Dion Jordan does in Madden so expect him to show up. Good looking out Retto. The time off was much needed. I expect to be back in the lab real heavy this year.

jayfiend jayfiend Just remember our bet after I sweep you this first season.
 
Somebody pull up dabottom305 dabottom305 game film so he can see what bubblegum is you can also pull up NCAA Mike's he's a good example...

Last in the AFCE? If I'm anything lower than first I'd be shocked :rofl:

WAR ROOM: BUFFALO BILLS

image.jpg


Yea, yea, we know the Buffalo Bills made a playoff appearance in Season 4 of the Madden 15 League...

That's what not this is about.

Instead, what we have is the biggest display of Madden trash talk and claims maybe ever, by none other than Madden 16 Bills owner jayfiend jayfiend . This is bravado in it's purest form! So while I spare you the empty list of accomplishments from this past year, let's take a look at what the man known as "King MessiaH" (albeit, by only his very own mirror reflection) claims he will do this year, which will be his first full campaign in the NT Madden League...

Well then! :rofl:

With a guarantee of at least 13 wins in Season 1, along with some of the others you just saw above, Antoine will have to come out firing and playing at an elite level if he plans to see the grandiose claims come to fruition. But is he truly elite? One of his biggest claims to his Madden resume is being able to "stop Cam" in a 25-14 Season 3 win over myself. Or is he just the league's thunderstorm: initially loud, yet harmless, before eventually just passing by into irrelevance? As his debut game in NT Madden, a loss to Dez and the perennial laughingstock Atlanta Falcons, a winless '15 playoff resume (0-1), and the reported self-destruction of his very own Madden league may suggest? One thing is for certain -- we shall soon find out, and it won't lack in the entertainment category.

:pimp: STRENGTHS :pimp:

While many will dispute his true skill level, one thing is undeniable about "King MessiaH"'s Buffalo Bills; they field one of the most talented teams, on paper, in Madden 16. Their defense features a relentless pass rush led by the likes of 2006 first-overall pick, DE Mario Williams, and the elite DT tandem of Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus, with DE Manny Lawson in the fold as well. The Bills secondary also employs a talented group; the CB duo of Leodis McKelvin and Stephon Gilmore quietly rank among the league's best, while Williams & Williams -- Duke and Aaron -- look to continue climbing up the league ranks as the starting safeties.

But...we'll all be watching to see just how good this new Buffalo offense will be in Madden 16. Former Dolphins TE Charles Clay stays in the division, as he signed with the Bills in the offseason. Electric (when healthy) wideout Percy Harvin enters his first season in Buffalo, where he will team with the sensational Sammy Watkins, reliable Robert Woods, and track-speedy Marquise Goodwin in what could be a big-play passing attack, which, according to Antoine himself, appears will be led by QB Tyrod Taylor in Season 1. Finally, the trade which sent young LB Kiko Alonso to Philadelphia netted the Bills star RB LeSean McCoy in return, who is annually in the discussion of the league's best tailbacks. This, predictably, has prompted Antoine to start the #ShadyFor3000 campaign, promising that McCoy will get 3000 rushing yards in Season 1. He also wanted me to tell you that he's bringing a "high-powered running scheme, the best since Thurman Thomas" to Buffalo. The tools are there.

:smh: WEAKNESSES :smh:

Although Buffalo has some very nice skill-position players, just how seriously will others truly take Antoine if he's indeed serious about starting Taylor at QB in Season 1? While it could prove effective, Taylor, at this juncture, may lack the consistency and accuracy to be much more than a mobile, gadget-play type of QB. The linebacking corps aren't exactly striking fear in the hearts of opponents either, and players who show the ability to get to the second level of the Bills' defense could be more than troublesome for Buffalo.

Beyond that...you gotta know Antoine, in some form, is feeling the pressure of living up to his own lofty expectations. While he has the added benefit of starting from the outset in this year's league, he had ample time to back up the talk in '15 too, and the high majority of the banter was met with middling results, despite his three consecutive 10-win seasons. Even last year, the bar wasn't set THIS high, but just to play Devil's Advocate here...if he failed to meet some of his more..tempered...expectations, can we really expect anything but more of the same this Madden?

:smokin TORETTO'S TAKE: 11-5 :smokin

See...I **** with Antoine, my DMV brethren. And, he is actually good...I'll give him that. However...I think that's as far as I can go right now, and here's why...here is where he lost me, in terms of being the best. I asked him about a week ago if he had ever made it past the first round of the playoffs in '15...although I already knew the answer. As for why he never returned to the playoffs in a weak '15 AFC after that loss to Pittsburgh? He cited injuries...he cited...injuries...

Which was quite alarming to me; in fact, it told me all I needed to know. Injuries happen to everyone, and force good players to become GREAT ones. Ask '15 Season 1 Super Bowl-winning owner @jQQQQQ, who led the Chiefs to the championship with Chase Daniel as his QB for the stretch run...Chase Daniel. Went through the juggernauts of the AFC, on the road...with that man as his signal caller. When adversity hit, players such as him stepped up and took their games to the next level.

That's exactly what I'm looking to see from Antoine this year; to rise above adversity when it hits, rather than wilting under the accompanying pressure of it. He's good, but his words force me to hold him to the highest of standards, and trust me when I say a mere 11 (or more) win season won't be enough to meet them in this case. It's this simple; if you're elite, others will recognize that at the end of the day without a prompt or a segue, no matter how hot the heat of the battles that define you will get.

But...if you're not elite...it's ok. However, in this case, all the claims, all the talk, as great and entertaining as it is...if you can't make the jump from good to great, will be just that: talk. And, if you can't meet the standards, they'll forever be written on a big pile of Madden checks that your game, ultimately and unfortunately...just couldn't cash. Greatness is waiting...and you can't afford to stand her up any longer. :nthat:

:pimp: NEXT: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS :pimp:
 
Wow. I'm starting to feel like my 12-4 prediction don't mean anything. 11-5? For that chump? You've seen him play. You KNOW he's trash. :smh: :smh: :smh: :smh:

I say he goes 7-9.

He had Peyton and couldn't do anything. When I MADE the playoffs I was trying. He tried his hardest and still had to rely on another team not making it, still didnt make it.
 
First Mr Bubblegum... Peyton had already retired by the time I got the Broncos... If I had Peyton Manning you would be looking at at least a 2 time Super Bowl Champion.

And you're 12-4 prediction doesn't mean anything because ain't know way that ******* happening... :lol:

Especially with me in you're division that's two L's right there... And once I lay the blueprint down of how to beat that bubblegum in Week 3 you might struggle to get 8 wins...

Yea I'm gonna go with 8-8 for your bubblegum ***. :rofl:

Bum!
 
steelcity412 steelcity412 Lol I think he'll be good in Season 1 (regular season..I'll wait and see about the playoffs).

dabottom305 dabottom305 I think the win totals are pretty consistent for how you both fared last year: you were the class of the AFC the first couple years and he happened to win 10 in both his full seasons. I also expect the narrative to stay the same in the division, with you winning more (games and H2H match ups) and having more playoff success too :nerd:

LEAGUE UPDATE - We will do waivers every season this year. Everyone has to TURN ON Sign Offseason Free Agents so you have a team minimum by the time. The first season everyone has about 70 players, the following year you'll probably have around around 60. During the preseason you'll be able to put in claims for free agents. Waiver wire order would be in the reverse of the standings, Titans gets first pick, then it adjusts as we go. Now you will have to cut players on your own or delegate. After by week 1 of the regular season you should have 53 players on your roster. Instead of the 5-10 min rush to advance its going to probably be 3-4 day process. Gives everyone a chance to make claims, cut players, and maybe play preseason games to help build your team.
Any questions let me know..
 
Trying to get back into the highlights for madden 16. Never got a chance to make any highlights for my superbowl run...Guess I don't have the game vs the colts for some reason so I'll just add Wild Card vs Broncos, AFC Championship game vs Ravens and SB vs Panthers:

Steelers vs Broncos Wild Card:

Good old antoine talked so much he swore up n down he would beat me in the playoffs...the rest is history
