Season 3 Week 15 Scheduling **Tuesday-Saturday**

matthew8

So the Chargers are playing their game at some time tomorrow and the league will be advanced. Here are the fixtures:

Redkins (SwankyTortoise) @ Panthers (CPU)
Saints (CPU) @ Buccaneers (ibm1984)
Broncos (CPU) @ Chiefs (Darbey)
Raiders (asmosis7) @ Chargers (specsy)
Lions (Eamonn87) @ Packers (Ben SFC)
Dolphins (CPU) @ Titans (Kaiche)
Steelers (CPU) @ Bengals (BigBadRob83)
Ravens (CPU) @ Browns (CPU)
Texans (Pudsy33) @ Jaguars (CPU)
49ers (adro76) @ Rams (ali g no1)
Patriots (CPU) @ Colts (CPU)
Giants (etloveslsd) @ Falcons (Notyalc666)
Vikings (CPU) @ Bears (p4ddy31)
Cowboys (CPU) @ Eagles (CPU)
Bills (DangerDavo85) @ Jets (Berty44)
Cardinals (CPU) @ Seahawks (QKitten83)

Key games as usual in bold. 3 divisonal rivalries await us.

The first is the Raiders against the Chargers: Though the fans at these games have been known to be rowdy and I have heard people don't like taking their kids to Raiders-Chargers, there doesn't seem to be the same animosity between the 2 actual teams. Nevertheless there have been quite a few big games historically between these 2 teams, one being the famous "holy roller" game in which Ken Stabler famously deliberately fumbled the ball forward to prevent the game ending, an the Raiders picked it up and scored. The Raiders again got the better of the Chargers in the 1980 AFC championship game and have been the Chargers bogey team in recent years, however the Chargers won the last meeting in the NFL, which was sweet as it kept Oakland out of the playoffs. In the BFL, I have been a bit of a bogey for the Chargers since that famous 4th quarter disconnect. They never seem to bring it against us and I hope to go to 4-0 before we likely split up into different divisions next year. There's really not much at stake, but it's a rivalry.

The second one is the big one. The biggest game of the year so far. The Commish against the Commish. Lions-Packers. The Lions were upset by the Seahawks this week and the Packers are poised to pounce and retake the division lead from the Lions. The last meeting was an absolute classic. The Lions scored 14 points in 18 seconds to tie the game inside the 2 minute warning but Mason Crosby hit over a last second 26 yard field goal to win 37-34.

The third one is Bills Jets: The Bills must be fed up with playing the Jets at this stage, having never won. Berty reckons the Bills will win this it seems. I'm more skeptical. Berty must remember he's playing for seeding here.

How do you remember this? Or did i just block it out of my memory. Really hate these games against santry, he usually edges me out in the minute of the game and beats me by one score.

Berty44

I have been luck to beat the Bills on the last two occasions. in particular our last meeting Jets definitely got lucky.

Dave, could you do Tuesday night @ 10:15?

Well I went back and looked at the box score.

Lads what happens if I end up with the same record as one of the NFC north teams does it go by points differential or what

Conference record then common opponents after that I think.

adrian522

I should follow the NFL rules:

http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

For Wild card , where 2 teams are from different divisions with the same record:

Head-to-head, if applicable.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
Strength of victory.
Strength of schedule

etc.

Tuesday sounds good, will i be able to find away to beat the jets ? But im not really playing for anything after the chiefs loss. In saying that, it could be my last chance to beat you in madden 12....

I tried to rejoin the league on the EA website but it's on private? Do I need an invite? I only have a couple of hours to play before I have to head out again so hopefully someone can reply quick!

Don't you just need to rejoin on the xbox? And when can you play our game?

I'll try that. Can you PM me the name and password please?

Berty44

See you Tuesday night so Dave. Think you will be in playoffs so it might not be the last we see of each other in this franchise. ( We also have a week 9 in the Pro )

You are assuming EA follow the rules!!

adrian522

I'm assuming nothing. I said it "should" work like that. And from what I have seen Madden 12 has it more or less correct.

Not to say it will work all the way down the list to coin toss but I think it will select the right players for wildcards.

matthew8

League can be advanced.

Well it hasn't been advanced yet.

Edit: Luke I know you said Tuesday/Wednesday in the pm but if you can do tonight I'll be on.

SantryRed

We'll leave the fixtures as Tuesday-Saturday. I'll advance it around 8pm.

Eamonn,

Wednesday evening would be best if possible.

SantryRed

I might not be able to make 7 on the dot. But sometime before 7.30 and I should be able to.

Just 1 game to go until we can advance the league. Things are getting tight now!

I was getting all amped up about an early advance... then realised that I cant play bills until sunday at the earliest

I need to win all my remaining games and 49ers beat cardinals but lose next one to have a hope of being top of division... assuming my math/guess work correct
Pressure is on!

helimachoptor

What game is left to play?

I don't think either of us can win the division can we? I certainly don't think I can.

Pudsy33

Just me. I'll try fit it in tonight but it's been a manic week

Well the Hawks have the same win/loss record as the Cardinals I think so it's certainly possible.

adrian522

How far back am I? 2 games back with 2 to play?

matthew8

adrian522 wrote: »

Yeah, but losing those divisional games should mean the end for you. The Seahawks get to play the Bills and Packers back-ups, if they lose both they're 8-8 and the Cardinals would make the playoffs I think.

adrian522

Well I'm playing the cardinals next week, so would need to win that. I think the Cardinals have a game against another CPU team in week 17 which they will probably win so that rules me out I think.

Depends.. you never know what way a CPU sim will go adrian

adrian522

If I beat Cardinals my H2H against the Cardinals will be 1-1, same against the Sea hawks. Not sure what conf records are like.

God damn this stage of the season is confusing
