Overreactions & Reality Checks for PML
Arod
Eagles user proves time and time again he cannot be given any type of responsibility or be trusted as a leader
Reality or Overreaction: Reality
Let’s break this down into a few sections. What hasnt the guy been given the keys too and hasnnt messed up?
Commish: League was in one of the biggest uproars I’ve seen over the past 4 years being here. He had no communication skill, fought with entire gen-chat, made his agenda clear as day as to who he was targeting, the entire experience was a flop and down right could have lost some valuable members. He had users threatening to sit out games if he served as commish another day. The young man obviously has never had a drop of power in his life many besides fetching coffee. Truly one of the worst managerial moves I’ve not only seen in PML, but my entire life. Oh let’s not forget blatantly using 10th superstar when he would have fined anyone else 50pts for doing it. Hypocrite. We were supposed to trust the same guy who deleted Sportsbook bets after they lost? Or cut a CPU game replay? I think not.
Player prop bets: Uff. So my number one goal to JT was to use Sportsbook- and I’m sorry fellas- to eat up as many content points as I could. And looking at the data week 12, the Sportabook is up 80 points on the general public. Most notably, we seized 217 content points the past 2 weeks. Great job right. What happens though, we have Player Props just handing out content points like free candy on Halloween. And could you believe, the Eagles user himself actually stole the entire bag of candy off the porch caught on camera. The kid made 79 points in 4 week span alone. Isn’t this absurd ladies and gentlemen. Again, proving he cannot in charge of anything. To throw salt in the wound, he made 12 content points just for stealing our candy. Amazing. Not to mention, we can’t see his picks until after the fact. Hmm.. shady shady…
All pro: I mean he added undeserving players to our All-pro teams to save his devs. You have to be kidding me. Like having the Chargers wasn’t good enough?
When will we learn, you aren’t a trusted member of this community? I claim fraud all the way with him running this. It’s a favorites game for him.
Managing his teams: I mean, he may be one of, if not the worst team manager we have. He’s ruined the Browns for life 3 cycles, he’s already ruining the Eagles by trading his 1st overall which may land top 5, for a 30 year old Derrick Henry on expiring contract- when he already has Swift. Dlloyd pulled the 2nd biggest heist in PML history that day. Guy is definition of a hot mess when it comes to running teams.
Coaching tiers: MF made himself B tier over some very notable players who made Super Bowls or playoffs every season.. when he didn’t make playoffs in like 4 cycles l***. Do them again I saved you a seat where you belong.
Ladies and gentlemen there you have it. I could go on and on but I don’t have 2 hours to write, but definitely feel free to drop your favorite moments in chat! So long for now!
Arod, out.

Matigy and Chiefs team to beat in AFC
Reality or Overreaction: Reality
After a slow start to the season, Mahomes and Matigy have found their stride and have rattled off 7 straight wins, currently sitting atop the AFC. The Chiefs have the leagues #1 scoring offense, and Mahomes has thrown 30 TDs, 8 of those to his favorite target Travis Kelce. Defensively safety Justin Reid ranks #2 in the league in INTs, trailing only Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Chiefs are the reigning AFC West champions, but they have a division rival waiting for any misstep, in the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are also currently at 9-3, but they have a H2H loss vs the Chiefs in week 7. The Chargers and Chiefs face off once more in week 18, which may end up deciding playoff seeding for both teams.

Dak Prescott is the best QB in PML
Reality or Overreaction: Overreaction
This season Dak Prescott currently leads the league in Passing TDs, and the Cowboys are riding into the playoffs as they have already clinched their division at 9-1-1. WR CeeDee Lamb has been electric catches 14 receiving TDs and is nearing the 1000 yard mark. While this offense led by Dak Prescott is rolling right now, it might be a stretch to say he is the best QB in the league. The main reason I believe this is the NFC East may be the worst division in football. The Eagles Giants and Commanders are competing for the #1 pick, and the Cowboys have been beneficiaries of bad defense all season. Give the Cowboys credit where it’s due, they do have some big wins over top teams such as Jets, Rams and 49ers, but I think we need to see more before we put Dak atop with PMLs elite.

Chargers can get it done with anyone on offense
Reality or overreaction: Reality
I don’t think I’ve made a single comment about me in Reality Checks or the Power Rankings, but I have to this time. Without BOTH Herbert and Ekeler (which many said I need a top QB to win and some said Ekler is my offensive focus) I went 2-0 with Joe Flacco and currently 3-0 with Ebner. Ebner in 3 games has 675 total yards and 6 TDs. The wins were against some top defenses. Hypemike is usually a top 3 defense every year and one of the best users… Joe Flacco got it done against him. Arod is a top defensive user, I don’t care what you say his offense is obviously not good, but his defense is always GREAT. So I will give myself flowers and say I did what a lot of PML could never do and that’s win with Joe Flacco and some random 64 overall RB.

Titans will make the playoffs this cycle if not season 1
Reality or overreaction: Reality
Dlloyd and the Titans have been one of the biggest surprises for me this cycle. I know Dlloyd has a great football mind, but usually his team isn’t the greatest and it doesn’t translate to madden very well. Right now though… Levis and Dlloyd are BALLING. Levis has about 2,500 total yards 17 TDs and 11 INTs, for a rookie in madden that is REALLY good. Dlloyd’s division seems pretty weak outside Ke, the AFC East are beating up on each other, AFC North is the AFC North, and the AFC West only has 2 competitors right now. Dlloyd is tied for the 8th seed right now only 1 game out of the 7th. He could sneak in this season with that beat up Titans team. If not he is almost guaranteed to make it in the future once his team is better if he continues to play like this.

Cardiac ceo is for real
Reality or overreaction: Overreaction
Ceo is 9-3 and currently has the most wins in the NFC West. I don’t think anybody would’ve guessed this to happen but here we are. Ceo has had 2 huge comebacks down 28-7 vs Z and 21-0 vs HD and came back to win them. With another big matchup for Z to really take control as 2nd place in the div. I do think ceo is playing well but not well enough to be a contender. 29 turnovers given up and a 49ers defense that is frankly bottom 12, Ceo is truly just playing offense well enough to win these games along with some timely plays from the defense. But I think he’s gotta clean up his game to be a true contender.

Afc east is the most competitive division
Reality or overreaction:Reality
Complete reality, I mean the last place team is 6-5 and they have swept the 1st place team. I was saying early on this is my fav division because every game between them truly feels 50/50. I think SPdot is the best user but with the worst team and sp not being a truly dominating player makes it so even. Bills and Pats have the hardest remaining schedules while last place Deebo has by far the easiest. This is gonna be a tight race down to the final weeks and should be exciting

The AFC South is going to be ran by the Texans all cycle.
Reality or overreaction:Overreaction
Now trust me, this is a HARD statement to go against. If you look at the facts, the Texans have the worst roster in their division, but are dominating it in season 1. This makes you think if they’re dominating already at their lowest, why wouldn’t they dominate all cycle? I feel like the Texans will be competitive all cycle, however, I see the Colts or Jaguars giving them a run for their money at least ONE season this cycle. Bandit was once regarded as a top 10 user two Maddens ago, I feel like he still has some of that in him. I think one of these seasons this cycle he will come out of nowhere and make noise. It may seem like a slim chance from now, but I think he could. Dlloyd is a sleeper, once he builds up the Titans roster he may be a force to be reckoned with. His success will rely on his team development, if they builds the team good he will do something. Most importantly, if he can get abilities on his QB.

Aaron Jones is the best player in PML.
Reality or overreaction: Reality
Not only is Aaron leading the league in rushing yards, but he is leading in carries as well and averaging over 7 yards a carry. He is the focal point of this young Packers offense and has carried them literally to 8 wins this season. With their WR1 in Christian Watson being suspended for four games, he had to take on more of a load (pause) and has helped the team remain good despite losing their dynamic WR. Jones is on pace to have a historic season and could possibly will this young Packers offense to a 1 seed.

The eagles won’t win another game this season – Reality
Looking at the upcoming schedule it’s looks like the most realistic thing to happen with the struggles this coach has had putting together a 3 game losing streak. Upcoming opponents are the 49ers, cowboys, Seahawks, giants, cardinals, and giants again. All users who have shown to be more competent then the eagles have been. Personally playing the giants I don’t see a away this guy beats them 1 of the 2 and the other 4 games I wouldn’t even make a case he wins any of them. This coach has shown no matter how good the team is without user skill you will sink in PML. Hopefully it gets better for the seasons to come but without a top draft pick the titans look to get the last laugh in a ridiculous trade for Derrick Henry.

The AFC won’t be respresented by a AFC west team – Reality
Looking around at the afc is like looking into a crowded wooded area with so much potential to get taken down by a wild boar at any moment. No matter how fast no matter how big any animal has the threat to get trampled by this wild beast. You have so many giant slayers and usually with the higher expectations come the bigger letdowns. With the toll of winning that division and most likely securing the #1 seed in the afc the fight will wear down and slow down this Goliath! Will it be the chargers or chiefs to come away on top? No matter I can’t see either one of them outlasting the war wounds and advancing to the Super Bowl with so many overpowered midgets with the power to trample the great castle these teams have built.
