Looking good so far!!

How did you "send your GM to sign some FA's"? Did you just delegate that to him in your clipboard?

if your roster is short.. there's a popup that happens and an option to "Have the GM fix it"

...in my case it was just prose i cut my guys to free some roster space, when the popup happened im the one who went in and picked the FA's I liked

I'm at work right now but I can remember this off the top of my head..

QB: Mobile/Speed QB (I prefer a Field General QB, but this is just a for fun franchise)

HB: POWER BACK

FB: Blocking FB

WR: Quick/Route Runner (but I should really change this to Tall since this is for fun, aka something i normally wouldn't pick i'd change here)

TE: Playmaker TE

OL: Size/Mauler in everything! LOL

DL: Prototype DT/Prototype DE

LB: Prototype MLB/Prototype OLB

CB: Man Coverage/Ballhawk

Regular Season Week 6
Eagles [4-1] vs [1-4] 49ers

This is the 2nd game in what I call my 4 weeks of hell..
here's what my struggling 49ers are facing..
Patriots, Eagles, Giants and then the Seahawks..

4 of the top teams in the entire league! and this with already a 1-4 record entering this weeks' game..

the worst part of it all is my Preseason Promise to my owner.. did I say finish above .500..?
oh no my friends... I said MAKE THE PLAYOFFS

1-4 and the playoffs right now seem so very far

Game Result:


Postgame Thoughts

***FINALLY*** the defense came and showed up!

the Defense was magnificent and of course it took its leaders to show them how it's done..
-MLB P. Willis was phenomenal forcing a fumble and returning that fumble 70+ yds for a touchdown!

Eagles down by just 3 and having the ball with under 2 minutes to go with all 3 of their timeouts.. it looked as if overtime was inevitable until
-CB Nate Clements had a statement int picking off McNabb

OH YEA BABY! Finally my defense came to play!! and what better way than being led by its leaders!

Standings:


Bring on the Giants!

Regular Season Week 7
Giants [4-1] vs [2-4] 49ers

3rd game of "the month from hell!"

and this time around, we not only face a 4-1 team but the defending superbowl champions as well!

I told my players that they may not be division rivals.. but this is freaking

NEW YORK GIANTS vs SF 49ERS!!

if you can't get yourself motivated and ready to play.. you don't deserve to be playing football!

I think it worked, a little

Game Result:


Postgame Thoughts:
-nothing really spectacular happened.. it was just a tough grind it out game.. stopped them when it counted and scored enough to seal the W

-extremely proud of my LB's.. they made it hell all day for Brandon Jacobs and the Giants only got 31 total rushing yds

-one specific play was for the highlight reel.. it was in the redzone.. on the 5yd line.. the Giants opted for a swing pass after a clearout of the right side.. then it became a 1 on 1 battle

MLB P. Willis was isolated alone against the trucket HB B. Jacobs.. and Willis stopped him short of the endzone at about the 2 yd line.. it was a statement play I thought because those two monsters went at it all day

3-4 baby! 3-4!! almost .500 !
Standings:

Regular Season Week 8
Seahawks [4-2] vs [3-4] 49ers

2 game win streak entering this game... and the last game of this stretch I call Month from Hell.. i'm 2-1 so far and if I get this game against my division rival and division leader Seahawks.. I should be able to convince my players that we can make a serious run here to keep my preseason promise alive..

make the playoffs

GAME RESULT:


Postgame Thoughts
-Mike Holmgren's team was that too much for my young squad.. they showed exactly why they lead the division

-played solid football.. just solid good football.. ran the ball when they needed to, scored points.. it was a.. schooling almost

-I see now where we need to be and my 49ers are so very far from it

-Dropped to 3-5 and I'm seriously wondering if I can keep my preseason promise or hell.. just even finish above .500
