Title: Secret "anti-fumble" command? Post by: jcompton-Orlando on April 06, 2010, 06:18:56 PM Okay, it's happening again.
My teams routinely have quarterbacks who lead the league in fumbles, and their hands start going bad about midway through the season. Kingsbury coughed up the ball three times and gave Mexico a game that, frankly, neither team deserved to win. I am using an offense I haven't used before, and I certainly didn't draft these guys. Curt Anes turned into a turnover machine when I took over Austria. Matt Lytle turned into a turnover machine when I traded for him. What is the secret password that all other players obviously know to tell Paul to avoid this massive outbreak of fumbles? Title: Re: Secret "anti-fumble" command?

Lytles fumbling was just crazy and ridiculous. Kingsbury so far has been superb with 15 td's and just 5 fumbles. Mexico at times have a great defense, they totally shut down your rushing attack so Kingsbury had to pass most downs. I cant believe looking at the stats you lost with 24 first downs and Mexico won with 9 ! Title: Re: Secret "anti-fumble" command?

Well, that's what I mean about neither team deserving to win. Mexico's possessions were all due to Orlando miscues--fumbles and the blocked punt. The Aztecs offense did very little on its own hook. (Sure, kudos to Mexico's defense and special teams for creating these opportunities, but at some point, it's not them, it's us.) Meanwhile, Kingsbury had a great game by the numbers... unless you look at the fumbles, that is. Title: Re: Secret "anti-fumble" command? Post by: Paul-London on April 08, 2010, 02:35:35 AM Yeah the fumbles might have been high as he had no help from the rushing attack so every down was pass pass pass. Mexico are 4th in the league creating fumbles (granted this game helped make them jump up).
Its been good seeing Kingsburys career, drafted in the first round he was a bit of a bust the first few years then slowly took over the role and has been improving a lot the last few years. The lack of a decent rushing attack has hurt Orlando, Brown has had his moments this year, last weeks was bad but overall hes been good. In the past Kingsbury threw for a lot of yards but the Thunder never really had a ground game Title: Re: Secret "anti-fumble" command?

He has got the ratings and skills to be a good QB but he funbles his way thru his life. >:( |
