Season 2 - Week 12 Results

SantryRed

Green Bay 42-14 New Orleans

Green Bay continue on their march to the NFC North victory with a comprehensive victory against the Saints in the Superdome. The game started off dodgy for the Pack with the Saints scoring on their opening drive. After that, Jake Locker took over. He threw for over 400 yards and 5 TDs and 1 INT. If there is ever a week for him to be player of the week it's this one. The Green Bay D was its usual stern self picking Mark Sanchez off 4 times.

Season over for the Lions?

I am absolutely distraught. Lost 24-20 to Paddy, didn't score in the second half.

Not in the mood to write a full report. But some major events in the game:

My first pass, I threw an interception on my own 20 yard line.

He then fumbled the ball and I recovered. He challenged it was overruled and he gets a TD. 7-0.

I manage to get 2 TDs, a couple of picks and 2 field goals. So its, 20-7. Bears just about manage to get a TD with 4 seconds left, some great play really. 20-14 at the end of the half.

Bears score again after receiving the kick off. Then we punt to each other a few times. He gets a field goal.

About 3 minutes left. I rush it up the field, end up 4th and goal. I lose yards. Think thats it.

Next play he tries to throw it to his wide receiver who is double covered. I jump out of my seat, its in my CBs hands, no wait, he is retarded and just lets it fall.

I still make him punt and I have 1 min 54 seconds with two timeouts on my own 21. I rush it with Chris Johnson make it to the half way line. Go no huddle rush again, FUMBLE!!! :mad::mad:

Season over? Yet another loss by 1 score where arguably I should have done better, just can't see games out. Feels like the Madden gods are against me.

Well done Paddy though, I was having none of your passing game today, I knew Dwayne Bowe would be out to get me but you stepped it up on your rushing game and with the threat of Bowe, it was hard to stop you. Good game and good luck.

The Bills go 6-5 ! A winning record. A irritating 17-10 win over the CPU dolphins with Arian Foster staring with a 100 yard game yet again. It was the D though that won this game with 12 sacks. Campbell did not throw a pick, so fair play to the dolphins but he kept tucking and running and got killed by D-line.

Also i cannot wait for Ray Lewis to retire. If i have to hear after my running back is tackled. " The landshark Ray Lewis was there to make the tackle again"

Next up the Cowboys who are 7-3. I win that and I'm on course for a play off spot for sure, lose it and 8-8 is still a real possibility. Really hoping the Colt's have the AFC South wrapped up by week 17.

Raoul: Ouch man ! your season could be so different. 4 games you've lost by one score. With 3 of them in overtime? Sickening ! Hard to see you getting to the play offs now. 11-5 if you win out and even that in the NFC might no get you into the play offs with the bears and the 49ers having such good records already.

Your like the eagles in the NFL. A dream team at WR and RB but it all falls apart :pac:

Falcons loose 17 - 26.

Shocking first quarter, first throw intercepted. First run fumbled, was chasing for the rest of the game almost thought i had them

Paully D

Eagles beat the Cowboys by a FG in OT to pull back level in the NFC East.

No time to post a full report but it was a cracker of a game.

An INT right at the end of the second half cost me badly, still got no idea why I threw it as I seen he was being covered by 2 players. The only turnover of the game.

Thanks for the game Empacher, looking forward to the return in a few weeks.

Raiders-Vikings at the Coliseum. In the Coliseum the Raiders usually stink up the place but they were favourites today.

The Raiders won the toss and received. They drove it down to inside the 40, most of the yards coming off one screen pass. The Vikings DE play kept MJD from achieving much running. The Raiders went for it on 4th down yet failed.
The Vikings took over around the 40 and drove it down to the Raiders 30 using Freeman, their RB before settling for a field goal.
The next Raiders drive went exactly the same way as the first drive, getting to the 40 but turning it over on downs. The Vikings took over but could do nothing and punted it.
The Raiders got it to the Vikings 40 when the Raiders coach made a heroic/audacious move, flipping the playbook to help the running game (essentially changing all the plays from right to left). Power to the left side and MJD was away for a 40 yard TD.
The Vikings took over at their 20, drove it down the field and with a few seconds left in the half went for a short field goal. A Raiders DB made an incredible FG block, leaping at least 10 yards to smack the field goal attempt down to the ground, it could've been returned for a TD if Will Witherspoon had his wits about him.
HALF TIME, 7-3 Raiders.
The Vikings received in the 2nd half, and got it to the 40, at which point Tom Brady threw it to Colston in the middle of the endzone for a TD (he was in single coverage). The Raiders kept up their genious left side idea and got it down within field goal range. Sammy Morris took it up the middle on 4th and inches and got a 16 yard gain just after the start of the 4th quarter. He got another first down soon after, running to the 3, but got injured. Tony Fiammetta took it the rest of the way.
The Vikings received the kick, got a first down but with around 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter but then punted to the Raiders 36. MJD took it all the way on the first play and that was pretty much it.

Stats:
QBs:
Matt Schaub 100.8-7-10-97-0-0
Tom Brady 107.3-15-23-201-1-0
RBs:
MJD 37-211-2
Freeman 10-55
Morris 3-21
Fiammetta 2-3-1
Apparently, though I didn't notice it, Ryan Pickett also got in on the action with a 3 yard run.
Receiving:
MJD 7-97
Colston 4-78-1
Williams 2-36
Robiskie 2-30
Freeman 5-24
Bennet 1-17
Daniels 1-16

Pickett got 3 sacks, Pryce got 2, while Witherspoon and Jones got 1 each.

MJD now leads the league in rushing again, but Charles has a game in hand. Next up for the Raiders, who are now 6-5 (but trail the Bills in wildcard on a tiebreaker) play the woeful Chiefs before a very tough 4 week stretch at the end of the season so I should extend my winning streak to 5 games.

Well that was the worst madden experience ever, lost to the rams but the lag was so bad i couldn't select plays, do pre play adjustments, anything.

When trying to throw the ball your timing is way off and even running you try to juke and he runs out of bounds.

I don't know if it was madden servers or what but if that happens again I'll be quitting and letting it sim or whatever, no fun whatsoever.

madalig, were you having similar problems?

madalig, were you having similar problems?

I certainly was, I nearly missed that fg in the final qtr lucky i managed to get it to stop at 94%. Also when i hit Y to fair catch id love the game to FRIKING Fair catch that cost me 7 pts. I never saw as many recovered fumbles! My D were outstanding. No bonus for them though as they didnt injure charles&Britten enough. Tough game but only for that fair catch thing it would have been a clear victory methinks.
Rams 20 - SF 17

Now 4-7. 2 simmed losses and i game i should have won vs Ravens. This season could have been so much better. Regretting letting Mendenhall go, struggling with my running game big time.

adrian522

you need to select the player by pressing B before pressing Y as you need to be controlling the guy making the catch.

I found that game completely unplayable and was considering quitting from early on. well done on the win,

Thanks, you know thats two nil to me now:-P I had control and was holding y so was understandably upset to see you waltzing into the end zone.

2-1 to you no? We each won one last year...

Do you have a mic? Much better if we can chat during the game

I'm not sure if I was GM for our 1st game, maybe i'm wrong. I had my mic on, didnt hear you, did you hear my swearing?:rolleyes:

Browns lose out to the Titans after a restart and surely that's all she wrote for the Cleveland team this year.

Browns recieve the kick and Antonio Brown takes it to the house and the 2pt conversion to restore the 8 point lead I had is good. CLE 8-0.

Donavan McNabb methodicaly drives his way down the field before a 23 yard run by Best puts 6 on the board. Vinatieri makes it 7. CLE 8-7

Browns have to punt it away on their first possession of the game.
Time runs out as the Titans have the ball inside the Cleveland 25 yard line.

8-7 Cleveland
Browns redzone defence forces a FG after stopping Best, somewhat. 10-8 TEN
Then the Browns punt it away again.

Browns LB David Bowens stops his former teammate Jahvid Best with a crunching tackle that knocks the ball loose. Fellow LB Kevin Burnett scoops it up and takes it for 6. Feely is good on the xp. 15-10 CLE

On the Titans next drive, Burnett is once again in on the action forcing and recovering a fumble by Best.....but the Titans coach throws out the red flag and it's overturned. Titans move the chains down the field and Best catches one in the end zone. Xp is good. 17-15 TEN
Browns punt it away.
Tennessee only need two plays to score again, 33yard pass to Best, and a 30 yard pass to Greg Camarillo which went to the booth and was ruled a catch. XP is good.
24-15
Half Time

Westbrook takes the 2nd half kickoff to the house. Xp is good. 31-15
Browns move the ball down the the Titans 30 yard line.
Ball is picked off on the Titans 10 yard line.
Titans punt it away.

End of 3rd quarter. 24-15 Titans
4th Quarter:
Once again the Browns are knocking on the Titans door, ball is at the 21 yard line. Starks takes the handoff, cuts back to the left, he's got room.....FUMBLE at the 5 yard line.

Best scores shortly after on a 73 yard run. CPU made a bags of Nnamdi Asomugha's angle of pursuit. Point after is good. 31-15 TITANS

Rookie QB DeMarcus Lattimore runs on to the field and hits Shockey for 25 yards.
Dalton gets sacked for -10 yards.
Lattimore runs back on and tries to scramble the 20 yards on 4th down with 1:52 to go without joy.
Titans punt it away.
Lattimore to Shockey is good for 33 yards, and then again for 10 yards. Starks gets it on through the air on a HB screen, for some stat padding. Feely is good 35-22
Titans kneel it and it's over.

McNabb posted a perfect game 152.8 rating. 17/19 for 233, 2 TD's and 0 Ints.
Best had 153 yards on the ground from 20 rushes and 2 TDs.
Best also had 80 yards in the air from 6 catches and 1 receiving TD.

Browns main man, Jermey Shockey had 148 yards from 7 catches.
Browns DST outscored their offence. 14-7 :mad:

Super game against the Bengals

Bengals took a two TD lead and Ravens fought back and then took the lead with three minutes left

Bengals fought back, tied with a TD and scored the winning FG as time expired

Good D from both teams and both QB's played well. Bengals having succuss running outside and Ravens airing it out, scored one fifty yd TD
This was a high quality game, few mistakes from either side.

Bengals go top of the division but Ravens have a gimme against the Steelers next week so the pressure will be kept up

Rematch in two weeks, looking forward to it

Broncos beat the chiefs to tighten their grip on the AFC West.

Running by committee did it for this one, as McCoy got over 100 yards, Helu got over 50, Bilal Powell got 26 and my rookie QB even got a few.

Nothing really of interest, except, as I have mentioned before..... CHIEFS ARE USELESS!

Good game Mike, so tense during it.
Had 14-0 lead at end of the half, and was driving down the field, stupidly went for a long pass to score but should know better by now, as Newton was intercepted. Stopped at 2yd line, so managed to force Ravens to punt from there after couple of near-safeties.

Ravens came out of the block firing in second half and I could not stop them on D. Some outrageous 3rd & really long conversions, and I'm down 21-14.

Hoping to run out the clock and go to OT as I drive down the field, Maclin scores on long TD pass to make it 21-21.
I'm fearing the worst as I had left Mike with about 1:30 left for winning score, and hadn't been able to stop him second half. Sean Smith comes up with a big INT, and all I;m thinking about is inching forward with the run to go for long game-winning FG.

Run, run, 3rd & short. Ravens stack the box. Newton audibles.
Short pass to TE Hernandez, who is free outside and running all the way to endzone.....
But he smartly falls to the ground at the 1yd line short of the TD. Bengals kick game-winning FG as the clock runs out.

24-21

Nerves shattered. Looking forward to two more divisional games against Browns and Ravens next two weeks.

A result from last night, just couldn't post as the missus was hogging the laptop

Giants 27 - 7 Redskins

There was alot of luck in this win for me, which has been a long time comming. On my first scoring drive Smith threw a long pass down field off of play actions, the safety is in the air for an interception, he balls it up, bats it down into the waiting arms of Mercedes Lewis who rumbles on for another 10 or so yards before being stopped shy of the goal line.

Later on I hit the inside of the post on a field goal that I should have missed, and LT showed his tackle breaking ability (I know I never though I would be saying that either) for a big gain, setting up another TD

My old Nemisis Big Brandon showed up in the second half tossing aside defenders and taking the ball for a 80 yard TD, he should have been stopped for a loss but in typical Big Brandon form he bounced off them all and then out ran everyone????

Alex Smith has silently been ticking along nicely, he has 1308 yards 7 tds and 5 ints in 7 games. 2 of those were in his debut where I played him like Brees. Perhaps there is no need for Brees in New York and The Giants will listen to offers in the off season?

Nerd it was good talking to you, your presence will make the divison tougher next year and you can still play spoiler this year playing the Cowboys in the last game of the season, will the cowboys have the division sown up by then?

You need to put your stamp on that team. Maybe set up the deep pass with a few shorter ones. My defesive stats flatter me as the turnovers came when you were chasing the game.

Good game and see you next season

Looking at the Patriots-Jets stats, Charone Sanders had a remarkable 9 sacks.

He now has most of the player of the year trophies!!

Ridonkulous!

Chandler Jones is still offensive Rookie of the year though and back in the pro bowl!

Colts grab the first score of the game when they decide to go for it on 4th down inside the Texans 5. After that we see a Texans FG and 3 Colts FGs (and one missed 57 yard attempt) and no TDs till we get to the 4th quarter, 3-16.
Early in the 4th McFadden breaks off a 46 yard run to make it 3-23. Rackers then adds another FG, 3-26 with a little over 3 mins left. With less than a minute left the score gets skewed as McFadden runs in from 3 yards, 3-33 before Cutler throw 2 pick sixes and the game ends 3-47.

---

The #2 pass defence comes out on top of the #2 pass offence as the Colts hold the Texans to 130 yards through the air. The Colts passing attack are held to an even lower total of 95 yards!

What the Colts lacked in passing they more than made up for on rushing and defence. McFadden scores 3 TDs en route to 278 yards (30 touches). The Texans couldn't keep up on the ground with Adrian Peterson only making 30 yards off 10 touches.

The Colts defence grabbed 6 interceptions (including 2 pick sixes late in the 4th quarter).

Neither team were up to much on 3rd down combining for 5/23.

---

Nice chatting Pudsy and good luck against the Titans. You were definitely worth more than the 3 on the board.
