Default I FINALLY PLAYED MY FIRST FULL GAME!

I have had my board (Miggle's "Electric Football Challenge" board #6081) for about 2 months now and today, after tweaking the teams I have, I finally got in a game. It was the Detroit Lions vs the orange uniformed Tampa Bay Bucs. The first half was scoreless even though the Lions threatened two time with no luck. On the first drive of the second half, the Bucs managed to make a field goal to get the first score. With about 6 minutes remaining in the game, on a kick-off return, the Lions scored the first TD giving them a 7-3 lead. But, Tampa stormed back with a 50+ yard running TD which gave them a 9-7 lead, and that would be the final score since TB tried the 2 point conversion and failed.

Problems I had in playing is,...my passing game really sucks. I was excited that I was able to kick the ball through the uprights two times, so that was the up-side.

This board I have, which replaced the Super Bowl game (by Miggle) was fine for me at this level I am currently playing at, so I can't say much bad about the 6081 model.

It looks like I am still waiting for the Lions to win a game!

Now it is time for a few brews

Default Kool!

I know it feels great getting that fist one out of the way. Sounds like you enjoyed it. As far as passing goes I suggest 3 things. 1 - Get some passing sticks. I know Coach Rip sells them. A few others may sell them as well (or make your own). 2- Keep practicing with your TTQB. Trust me...it gets better with time. 3 - Get yourself a TDQ from Geno. My passing game improved immensely after I got one. Will improve your accuracy.

Above all else...just have fun!

I just got done watching the Buzzball Pass Simulation video on youtube (I did see it once before) and I like it. I think I may play that way, or at least give it a try.

As for the TDQ, is there a website for Geno's product?

Geno's site is - http://www.efbsupplies.com/

I like to mix both the TDQ and the sticks when I play.
