    With all the requests for friendly going on in the megathread, thought it might be a good idea to set this up. Post here if you are looking for someone to play a game with outside of the franchise fixtures. This might also be handy for potential new members to play some of the old heads :)

    Any chance of getting some PS3 friendles/league. I know most of the people here are Xbox users, but I can't really justify buying an Xbox just to play online....

    Anyone interested?

    Cheers for the game Mike. Very odd looking at the stats after that and at how few times I ran the ball, not at all how I play during league games. Nice to be a able to air it out like that and not just when I'm trying to come from behind and short on time.

    Curse my lack of discipline

    Packers back in inside their red zone, four points down and needing a TD to win. Fourth quarter, inside the two minute warning, pressure on

    Ravens go all out blitz for the crushing sack and left nobody over the middle to cover :rolleyes:
    Burned :o

    You have a good play there over the middle exposing the linebackers, the TE just beats them to the ball. Ray Lewis had a right rough time out there in coverage.

    However when you went up against a CB it didn't work, Jimmy Smith with two picks

    Yep, good game

    I'll be on for a game at about 11 if you're interested?

    Also, on a separate note, tried adding Ben SFC for a friendly today, you're friends list is full apparently

    Just a reminder people should join the boards community, simply called boards and we should play the games from there. That way all win and loss ratios will be recorded.

    What's the password for that, Raoul? I think I tried to join it before and it asked me for a password.

    Good question. I didn't set it up.

    Try bfl2012 or just boards or boardsie.

    No idea what else it could be :(

    IS this adding the boards gamertag as a friend thing?
