    While we're waiting for the Bears to get back, anyone want to do some previews for week 15? I'll do Chargers-Bills if someone else will do Raiders-Bears.

    I will do the Raiders v Bears.

    Matthew wins so I still have a chance of getting into the playoffs or else I kick him out of the league :mad::mad::mad:

    Edit - think thats right now, sorry AliG just sheer anger and frustration coming out there. ha. Matthew - I won't even mind if MJD beats Chris Johnson in rushing, once you beat the Bears

    Let me get this clear right away. Neither of these teams are any good. They're not going to give any teams trouble if they go to the playoffs, but they both just want to stop the Raiders reaching the playoffs. The Ravens are in on this plan too, giving the Bills a free win in week 10. The winner of this match will become the anti-Raiders in the hunt for the last wildcard spot.

    Offense
    TJ Yates is the Chargers starting QB, but Antonio Gates is a weapon that is tough for any defense to handle. Even my Raiders were at times overwhelmed. There's really very little at WR, with Desmond Seastrunk and Roy Williams the best options. One thing to watch for is when the Chargers come out in the trips formation, they have a special play that is their ace in the sleeve. The running game is formidable, with LeGarrette Blount the starting running back. He has had a fair few games with over 200 yards.

    As for the Bills, their offense isn't up to much. They were horrific against my Raiders, though that was without Arian Foster. Kyle Orton moves it down the field and Tim Tebow goes in for the kill in the red zone. They have their weapons, Vincent Jackson, Mark Clayton and Benjamin Watson but this is a run-first team. Arian Foster starts at HB but watch out for the speedy Danny Woodhead coming around the edge, on a toss, at the end of the half, when you only have to stop one play from going 80 yards *shudder* to go in with a lead at halftime. These HBs run behind Vonta Leach, the best blcoking FB there is, but he's useless if you need a FB to gain a yard.

    Defense
    The Chargers defense is a mixed bag. They have had 4 games against other players since the new gm arrived, and in a game against the Raiders and one against the Broncos they were terrible, giving up 38 and 41 points, whereas they produced 2 outstanding performances against the Jets and broncos, containing them to 17 and 14 points. Some well-known names on this defense include Takeo Spikes, Leon Hall and Lance Briggs. This unit is very solid in downfield coverage but can be beaten on the short stuff.

    The Bills defense is the only defense I never figured out (I figured out every other defense except the Jets, but I just gave up against that defense, so I really can't say much about them. There are household names in this defense, Jason Taylor and Troy Polamalu.

    Prediction
    It's times like this I wish I was able to watch other Madden games, it should be a good match. I think the Chargers will win by a few points. But because one of these teams has to win, the real loser is humanity.

    Lions DT Antonio Dixon got eight sacks in this weeks game against the Chiefs

    How is that even possible? :eek:

    Want to trade him to me? :)

    I'm guessing the Lions used the same play for the whole game and that play made a big hole for the DT. I think this season's record is 9 in a game by Charone Sanders of the Jets.

    Nope I didn't. 3 of the sacks actually came on the last drive where they were trying hail marys and just tried to take forever. The others just happened as normal. 1 fumble aswell.
