Season 2 Week 17 Results!

mikemac1

Ravens were very confident to begin with and raced into a ten point lead

Alas, some mistakes and picks and Titans took control and took a three TD lead

Ravens fought back valiantly and made the score look respectable with two TDs

And the Ravens hoped for one final drive before the two minute warning but the Titans converted on third down, Finlay somehow beating my CB
Titans kneel it out

The score flatters me, this game was not so close

I have no complaints, best time on the night won

I won't wish the Titans luck as I'm cheering for the Bengals

GO AFC NORTH :cool:

Best getting the KO return was pretty important IMO.

Patriots 13 Broncos 66

Broncos finish the regular season on a high with Chandler Jones having a breakout day of over 400 yards and 7 TD's with no interceptions!!

It was only the CPU, but I am really happy with how I attacked them.

Megatron had 184 yards, 2 TD's
Hoppes had 168 yards, 2 TD's
and Moeaki had 35 yards and 3 TD's.

That better get Megatron back into the damn Pro Bowl - The absolute cheek of them leaving him out for a week last week!! :pac::pac:

Game against Steelers cut out, apparently disc unreadable midway through third quarter. Had just scored TD to go up 14-13. Head-wrecking!
Don't have time to replay it as will be away for weekend, game doesn't mean anything so am happy to have it simmed.

Dallas Cowboys 17-13 Washington Redskins

Dallas gave their main men the night off and were made to work very, very hard for victory against the Redskins.

Defence was on top right up 'till the start of the 4th quarter and it wasn't one for the neutrals up until that point.

Quarter 1:

Game starts off with Dallas winning the toss and choosing to kick. Washington move the ball nicely down the field moving the chains at will with a few nice strikes from Kolb to his main man Hines Ward, mixed with some nice runs from Chester Taylor. Eventually the Dallas D comes up with a stop, leaving Rob Bironas to tag on a 46 yard FG. 3-0 Redskins.

Quarter 2:

Quarter 1 ended with both teams struggling to get anything going and quarter 2 started off the same way. Eventually, after numerous punts from both teams, the Redskins get a nice drive similar to their first of the game and Bironas tags on another 46 yard FG. 6-0 Redskins.

Dallas try to get something going themselves and eventually manage it. Tolbert makes a couple of nice gain and Ferguson hits TE Nelson with a couple of nice strikes. As has been the case up until now though, the D stands firm and a 40 yard + FG is the outcome. 6-3 Redskins.

Quarter 3:

Nothing of note really happens here, apart from me nearly having a heart attack when I realise that Bradshaw has someone got onto the field for a couple of snaps, but thankfully he comes through unscathed :pac:

Both teams punt a few times, D stands firm, and that takes us to the 4th.

Quarter 4:

Completely against the run of play, this game finally sees a TD. QB Ferguson sees a blitz coming and audibles to a pass, he hits his main target Nelson, who picks the ball up on the Redskins 40, shakes off two tackles and stumbles into the end zone. 10-6 Dallas.

Not to be outdone, Washington decide to get into the end zone. A couple of lovely passes from Kolb set them up in great position. Not 100% sure what happened here (maybe Nerd will be able to confirm) but I think Kolb threw it up long to Ward, he ended up missing the catch, but the ball falls down and there's Harry Douglas to gratefully see the ball land in his arms for a TD. 13-10 Washington.

The unlikely spout of TD's aren't finished there however, as Ferguson moves Dallas nicely up the field and Tolbert bursts through up the gut from 7 yards for a TD. 17-13 Dallas.

With 1 minute on the clock the Redskins need to move the ball quickly up the field, but the Dallas D stands firm and the clock runs out as Ward is hit hard bringing the ball down on the Dallas 40.

Final score 17-13 Dallas.

Stats:

Ferguson impressed on his first start with 17 completions from 26 attempts, 1 TD and 1 INT for 260 yards.

Kolb also went over 200 yards, 204 to be precise, with 9 completions on 17 attempts and 0 INT's.

Shawn Nelson was the main receiving threat, 210 yards on 10 receptions with 1 TD.

Enjoyed the game overall, was nice to be able to play without the pressure of needing a win, and some of the backups certainly put forward a case for more snaps.

Thanks for the game Nerd, you have some very nice plays and will be a threat in the NFC East next season.

Meanwhile, the Dallas head coach will be hoping this picture that has emerged from the starters night out last night has no effect on player performance come the playoffs:

Raiders go down to Packers 23-11.

Key plays:
On second and goal from the 2 yard line for whatever reason the Raiders offensive coordinator decides to send in Felix Jones for the play. He is the worst player in the world and gets stuffed twice.

Then we had Rashean Mathis, superstar cornerback watching Ted Ginn grab a pass thrown 50 yards down the pitch and run the other 26 yards without laying a finger on him or the ball, despite being right beside him. And then we had MJD fumbling on a drive the Raiders had to get a TD from.

As always when the Raiders lose there's a scapegoat, this time it's EA. Kicking Santry from our second game when I was up by 8 with 3 minutes left. Whoever came up with excessive grieving should be shot.

The Lions are out :mad::mad::mad:!!!

Bears through. 20-17 victory in OT.

Lions were up by 7 with 50 just over a minute left and the Bears had one unbelievable pass that got them a TD.

I am honestly too wrecked after the game to do a write up.

It was the greatest game of Madden ever. It had absolutely everything. My heart is in bits from the stress. Near fumble recoveries! Great plays and last ditch tackles. It was the proper way to go out.

I need a rest!!

Think thats my 4th loss in OT this year :eek:

That makes my personnel decisions against the Bills much easier. Time to rest a few key players.

Its me. Need to close games out. I think next season is going to be my break out season as a head coach.

Paddy forgot to mention that he recovered two forced fumbles aswell. . One of them inside his own half in OT where I don't know how he recovered it. Then there was a booth review, I thought it might be given to me. But nope, it wasn't a fumble at all. :mad:

Also madden annoys me so much when my defensive players simply don't catch the ball.

Paddy did great at shutting down Chris Johnson. 31 rushes for 121 yards was a shut out in this game. So many times I thought that Chris Johnson was away.

Thats enough crying. It was definitely the best game I have ever been involved in. Good luck in the playoffs Paddy! Bring on the super cup.

i dont even rememeber the frist one the second one was just strange miller seemed to just recover it himself i not why it was even reviewed.i aslo forgot the int just before half time.that was big play allowing to go in level at half time.

BigBadRob83

Managed to find a window to play Steelers game after all, easy 21-3 win with a pick 6 from ROLB Greenway and 2 TD's from Michael Turner, both a yard out after some good work on the ground and Cam Newton making some good throws for once.
Maybe (hopefully) he's rounding into form for playoff time.
9-7 and the AFC North Title, go Bengals!

The_Gatsby

I can't believe I just lost to the chiefs 19-10. 5 interceptions by t.j. Yates and a fumble by blount. I had two massive runs going for 6 only to be called back for holding. It seems I can do nothing right lately. I used to be good but over the last few games I have played horribly with tons of interceptions. I don't understand why all of a sudden I'm playing so bad? Very frustrating to say the least.

It's Titans v Colts in the playoffs again! We get another chapter in the biggest rivalry in board.ie Madden thanks to a Bills win today.

There was nothing on the line and both teams (especially the Bills) rested many of their starters. Ended up being a pretty good game despite having little impact on things. I'll leave it to Dave to do the write up....

cheers for the game

Hammered by cards 47-3. Had a poor game full of interceptions. Definite running up the score at the end i was not pleased about. no need.

Danger_dave1

Ye McG, was a weird game,, tried to keep all my starters out of the game. Goodson at RB did well from the line of scrimmage. Tebow had a mixed game, a terrible first half and a good second half.

Thanks for the game , maybe we'll see each other in the conference game

No wonder they talk about the rivalry between the sides at the start.
They have somekinda double coverage thing which works for interceptions.

Shane.C

I continued to run the ball near the end, i even told you on the mic, i'm running the ball i'm not gonna pass it. i had something like 5 interceptions, i was in great field position every time, it was hard to not score from the advantage of the pick.

Danger_dave1

Shane when you run it, you dont have to gain yards if your winning by a massive margin. Run 2 yards dive ... hold your run and get tackled, run out of bounds, kick field goals or punt.

Even if your running the ball it doesn't mean you keep scoring touchdowns.
