Saints 14-28 Jaguars

Really good game between me and Eamonn, not a lot in it at all.

Saints receive and initially make good progress until a pick over the middle by LB Russell Allen. A 26 yard run by MJD on the Jags first play sets them up for a passing TD to rookie TE Josh Kolhausen, the much sought after TE from this years draft has been excellent in the injury absence of Todd Heap. After forcing a punt on the Saints next possession, the Jags moved down the field before MJD ran over for a TD at the start of the 2nd quarter.

14-0 Jags and we both knew the next score was crucial. The Jags D stepped up big again, forcing another punt. Tebow was making good progress downfield, but then a poor decision by me resulted in a pick for the Saints, they were able to convert territory into points and came away with the score 14-7 at half time, game on!

The Saints D was getting tougher, and the Jags were fortunate enough to convert on a number of crucial 3rd downs, I believe punts were exchanged before Tebow hit TE Marcedes Lewis in the endzone from 10 yards out, after more good MJD running and a great play by WR Laurent Robinson, gaining 50 yards on a play action. But the Saints were not discouraged, and on the next drive the answered back with a vital TE pass to Jimmy Graham.

The 4th quarter began with Jacksonville deep in their own territory. Hard yards for MJD and some fortunate 3rd down plays meant the drive was eating clock and gaining yards. Great play by WR Justin Blackmon holding on to a ball after a huge hit saw the Jags at the 2 yard line with 3 mins left. MJD applied the finishing touch and it was 21-14.

Here come the Saints. A very well executed late drive saw them down to the 4 yard line:
1st down - Run stuffed for no gain.
2nd down - Incomplete.
3rd down - Huge tackle by Paul Posluszny on a draw, 2 yards out.
4th down - Saints hit Graham quick! But he can't hold on! Turnover on downs.

Saints have no Timeouts left and Jags run out the clock.

Stats:

Tim Tebow - 14/20 for 234 yards, 2 TD's 1 INT
Drew Brees - 15/22 for 194 yards, 2 TD's 1 INT

Maurice Jones-Drew - 24 att for 110 yards 2 TD's, 5 rec for 58 yards.
Darren Sproles - 9 att for 71 yards

Laurent Robinson - 3 rec for 86 yards
Jimmy Graham - 7 rec for 79 yards 2 TD's.

Super game Eamonn, one of the best contests this season for me. Good luck with the season, no doubt you will make the playoffs. We were saying at the end there that we were not sure what the turning point was, having looked at the stats, you were 1/6 on 3rd down conversions, I was 6/8, I reckon that is what swung the game in my favour.

Raiders win against broncos in the very definition of a tight game! Raiders defense only stepped up in the red zone when they
Stopped 3 trips by Perrin to go 9-0 down at the half !

McFadden run brought raiders in field goal range! Kicked it from 40yards with 12mph wind against...Perrin "that's huge"

And so it was, quick 3 and out and raiders had ball in good field position! Hester catches ridiculous ball and gives mcfadden the position to run it in! Point after

10-9

Broncos drive hard up field! Defense steps up and get the pick six!

17-9

Broncos have 1:40 left, huge drive! Last man tackles here! Unlucky with 50 seconds left, another pick with zone defense and raiders kneel it out

Perrin deserved this with 1st half performance. Draw plays mixed in with sweet passes....I was reeling but we settled down and got the basic right. Seriously unlucky for Perrin

Raiders move 8-3

GG Giffney.
From my point of view the game was decided in the 1st half.
Offensively same ol story,3 trips to the red zone,can only come away with field goals.
Defensively I don't think I could have done any better,decided I wasn't going to blitz too much as Raiders backup QB was playing so was going to see if he could beat me with the pass.
At least 4/5 times in the half where I was usering a player pre snap I guessed right where the pass was going,postioned him for the intercept and I/he dropped it everytime even one where he dropped it into the hands of my saftey who proceded to juggle it and then drop it,even when I let the CPU try to intercept they dropped it.
I think at some point in the third quarter,possibly on the Raiders drive for their touchdown,Raiders QB threw a curl pass,my safefy,cb and LB are all around the ball,none intercept..........and mentally I crack.
Raiders finish me off after that.
Best of luck in the playoffs Giffney

Sounds like a classic Raider game. I approve.

In other news, Panthers 9-2 after winning 28-21 against the Falcons to come into a tie with the Saints for the division, with conference and division records both equal.

Good write up Mikey, yeah the there were a couple of drops on 3rd down for me that really disappointed me. Actually they were from my other TE Davis twice (not Jimmy Graham, never saw anything bad about him ha). I was really annoyed with your pick on my play because to me your LB had no right to get the ball. Madden needs to look into user controlled defenders. Just because they are being controlled by the user they shouldn't all of a sudden be able to pick out a rocket pass when they are running away from the QB, having to jump and to catch it. Just doesn't make sense.

That is more me grieving about Madden than you. You played a great game and I think your offensive line is your main asset, you could have the worst QB in the league and still do really well due to the amount of time you have in the pocket. It reminds me of the glitch where people drop back an extra ten yards and the WRs get separation. They just had so much time to get away from my CBs.

Great play, and I would relish the opportunity to get payback.

Oh and it had to be the shortest game of Madden I have played in a long time, about 30 minutes long.

Nah I said at the time I agree with you. When you are ball hawking you can make some stupid plays, will most likely be amended for next year. And I think you are right about my O-Line, a few guys in there like Paul McQuistan who don't have the greatest OVR's, but are tough to move. I'm delighted with it, considering I lost Eben Britton and my C last year, it's been far better, which has allowed me to use Tebow MUCH more effectively. He now has about 110 passer rating, and has 27 TD's compared to only 13 INT's. And it was only after we left the game I looked at my watch, 38mins I think it took! Mental.

Raiders having an excellent season, Panthers too, seem to be winning every week.

Ravens @ Titans Ravens receive first.

Ravens punt.. Titans throw an int! Two men open... Titans throw it to the wrong one and Pudsy picks it off.

Griffin picks off a pass in the end zone

Marc Mariani, makes a clutch catch! Booth review! Titans TD

Nice TD pass to tie the game
Titans throw an int on their first play, Kap rushes for 30 yards for a TD :eek:
Johnson pounds it up the field and then into the endzone

14-14 at the 2 min warning

Titans KO.. returned for a TD Titans cant do anything and punt with a minute left.. Ravens punt but Titans run out of time

HT and its 21-14 Ravens, Titans to receive, C2J fumbles.. but Recovers! Titans punt

Ravens are on the 1 yard line after a good drive, TD Ravens and its a 2 score game.

TD C2J, he catches and weaves 60 yards into the endzone.
One score game

Start of the 4th, Ravens on 3rd and 2 and up by a score. QB Scramble but its 4th and 1. Titans go on a drive but its stalled with a sack.. 4th and 12... Titans go for it.. Cook gets stopped one yard short!
But a great pass.. TD Ravens. Titans throw a pick then and thats pretty much game with a 3 score making FG making sure of things

Williams catches... hes hit and fumbles... and that most certainly is game

Steelers will not be happy!

Some Stats:

Titans with 358 yards of offense, 136 rushing
Ravens with 311 yards of offense, 80 rushing

Locker with a rating of 82, 16 from 25, 240 yards, 2 TDs and 3 Ints
Kap with a rating of 119, 12 from 20, 231 yards , 4 TDs (+1 rushing) and 1 int

C2J gets 124 yards on the ground with a TD. je also gets 142 yards in the air with a TD

Former Titan Nate Washinton shows the Titans GM what a mistake he made with a TD and 123 yards

Good game Pudsy, on the few occasions i had you on 3rd down you made the big plays and a couple of those were TDs


Probably the key moment was with about 5 mins left, Cook catches but is tackled short of the end zone.

The packers rally in the 4th quarter to come back from ten points behind and win by 2 thanks to a TD from a panicked hurry up drive by the Packers, followed by what turned out to be a crucial holding penalty from the kickoff to back the Lions up to their own two. Crawford broke lose and sacked Romo who fumbled in the end zone and the lions got away with a safety. From there the packers eat time and yardage to kick a field goal for a 2 point lead with around a minute left.
Lions get picked off trying to get into field goal range which seals the win for the Packers.

adrian522

Well done on the win. I thought you could have run more time down and kicked the fg as time expired instead of giving me a chance to come back. In the end I couldn't anyway.

One thing and I don't mean to sound like a sore loser but I think the use of the no huddle offense with 6 mins to go is unfair. I didn't know you were going no huddle and my defenders were still offside when you were snapping the ball. I was also in a poor defense to defend your plays and you moved down the field and scored pretty easily which was crucial in the context of the game. .

No confidence in stopping your offence quickly enough to have a chance was the reason. I'd have to check but I thought there was less time than that left. Behind by two scores with around 5 minutes left and losing over 20 seconds with clock run off alone wasn't an option with how well you were ripping me apart with Pettigrew. Given you were winning by 10 at the time why didn't you call a timeout? I assumed you were happy with you personnel when you didn't! Didn't intentionally catch that guy offside either and declined the penalty (that was the same play were I was blessed with the fumble that went out of bounds).
Had people go no huddle on me earlier than that and had no complaints. It's a gamble when you O-Line is having a bad day too!

To be honest there should be no reason to go no huddle before the 2 minute warning and never without informing your opponent. Also of course you declined the penalty you made about 30 yards on the play. You wouldn't have declined if if I had recovered that fumble.

I would agree with Adrian, 6 mins left is not late in the game

helimachoptor wrote: »

No huddle offence:
The same should be said about the hurry up offense. This should be reserved for late in the game when you're down OR at the end of the half. (Reason for this is that Madden doesn’t allow the defence to change their formation suitably during the hurry up offense).

adrian522

I don't mean to have a go at you personally as I know a lot of people do it but I think it's something we should try and avoid until it is genuinely late in the game and you have informed your opponent.

Anyway well done on the win, you played very well and probably have the division sown up now.

No problem I'm not offended, it's good example of a difference of opinion on the same rule. For me the way the game had gone to that point I felt that I needed to go hurry up and score quickly and HOPE to stop you at some point in what I anticipated to be a long time consuming drive by you (naturally thing for you would have been to eat clock). Your RBs were doing well and Pettigrew had a monster game. That combined would have destroyed the clock on me.
It all depends on what side your on and how you feel the game has gone to that point for the perception of what is "late" in the game.
Open discussion will benefit all!

Pudsy33

In my opinion, in that situation i think its fair to go no huddle. It was the only chance he had of scoring quickly.

Rock Lesnar

Colts robbed lose to the Bucc's by 3 points after 3 titanic battles, i'm to fatigued to write a report except to say Luck Threw another Interception that about 150 plays later ended up a Buccs TD.

Titans next and then the Jags in the AFC south cauldron, i'm not sure how we can pick ourselves up physically or mentally after that for next week but we will.........I hope

Well I think inside of 2 mins is fair as long as you let your opponent know. The problem I have is that you don't have a chance to call your defensive plays and if you get caught in a bad defense you are kind of screwed.

I disagree, with over 5 mins to play that is most of the 4th quarter and he was only down by 2 scores. All he needs is a FG on that drive to make it a 1 score game.

With 5 mins there is enough time for 2 possessions each. I'd understand if you were down by 21 points but points is nothing in Madden.

Imo hurry up is fair game for the 4th quarter if your down by two scores. And 4-5 min if your down by 1. The accelerated clock is a killer in the last when your down by a couple.

adrian522

Well I think it's nonsense going hurry up without telling your opponent. 5 mins is loads of time, down by 1 going hurry up is just trying to exploit a limitation in the game as you are not doing it to save time to be honest.

Of course telling the opponent is a must but of course you're trying to save time. The twenty second run off eats up a lot of clock. Were ye on Mic or in chat room?

adrian522

I was on mic I don't think Nelbert was I certainly didn't hear anything.

You are not doing it to save clock with 5 mins to go and down by 1 score(in your example above).

To be honest in that situation I would be trying to use up time rather than score quickly so that the opposition doesn't have a chance to come back down the other end and score.

No problem with it really if I know it's coming so that I can call a defense I'm happy with against a load of different plays, but if on 1st and 10 I think it's a run and I call a run blitz or whatever and you go hurry up and you start throwing deep passes and calling the next play before my guys are even back on their side that is exploiting a glitch which means that I can't get any sort of defense set whatsoever. The clock is pretty irrelevant that early in a 1 score game.

Guffy

Depends on how the game is going really. But no communication trumps everything else imo I don't mind hurry up at any point in the game once I'm given a heads up

Nelbert

Whoa whoa whoa. Just seen the assertion about no comms. I said I was going no huddle twice on mic, in fairness I backed out of the second as I realised I was better eating clock!
I was going to say anything about it but you expletive laiden tuts in relation to the no huddle instead of simply calling a timeout like you should have if you weren't happy with your defensive setup.

If I was down by ten and the person had been having successful time consuming drives for 3 quarters again I'd do the exact same and would have no complaints about someone doing it to me.
My gauge is always whether I'd be p'ed off if someone did it to me and honestly I'd of been expecting it.
Pretty sure the time of possession stat would backup my impression of the game.

madalig12

Nelbert do you actually use a mic? I asked you a question in the second qtr of our game and got no answer. I thought then that I heard you cough in the third. You also failed to inform me you were going hurry up in the fourth.

I don't know, I had my headset on all game and didn't hear a word out of you.

I shouldn't have to use my timeouts for something like that, they are crucial at the end of the game.

Anyway play the game whatever way you like and best of luck in the play offs.

*Also I meant to say,I wonder how far the Chargers would have went if the GM had been in charge since the start of the season.The AFC West is gonna be a nightmare next season.

Shane.C

Wasn't going to be around to do a write up as i told Berty to put up the score but I have a few mins now.

First off, coming into the game I was just hoping to keep it as close a score as possible.

Chiefs win the toss and elect to kick.

1st Quarter
Chargers, drive down the field through a flurry of passes from Phillip Rivers, taking up most of the 1st Quarter.
Chiefs then stop the Chargers on their 1 yard line, with 4 and 1, leaving the Chargers HC with a decision to make, FG or go for it! SD decide to go for it and come out in a run formation, audible to a 5 WR set and Rivers throws a TD pass to TE Antonio Gates.

2nd Quarter
Chiefs get the ball, SD's defense has been poor to say the least this season!, and in turn allowing the Chiefs to drive 80 yards and throw a short pass to Jamaal Charles from the 3 yard line for the TD. 7-7

SD receive the ball and can't get anything going on offence, punt to Chiefs who return it to near the half way line. A nice mix of pass and run plays allow for Chiefs to throw a 15yd TD to TE Renee Bullock, 7-14.

HT

3rd Quarter
Chiefs receive the ball and are sacked for a loss of 8 yards, punting on 4th. A mix of poor play by Chiefs WR J. Silver who had the ball in his hands and just dropped it on that drive attempt.
SD get the ball at their 30yard line and Rivers is once again unleashing passes left right and center. Driving SD to the half way line, SD sees that one on one coverage with M.Floyd and throws deep, Floyd outpaces the CB for a 58yard TD. 14-14.

Cheifs get the ball at their own 20, with some nice running to the outside with Jamaal Charles they make it to the 40yard line, then que QB J Merian throwing a pick to rookie CB, Jakhari Brown. leaving the chargers with good field position. Chiefs then sack Rivers for 3rd and 23rd. The Chargers then power down the field with another set of perfectly thrown passes from Rivers, converting on 3rd and 23, to get to the half way line! San Deigo once again push to the Chiefs Red Zone and call and end around leaving Floyd to run in for the TD. 21-14.

Cheifs get the ball and run it to their 23yard line, up steps MLB Takeo Spikes to nab the ball out of the air near the half way line. SD with the ball, Mathews on a run to the left gets hit hard by Chiefs defense and fumbles, recovered by Chiefs.SD stop the Chiefs from getting a first down here and the punt is a good one leaving SD at their own 17yd line. Que Mathews running the ball and fumbling only for the fumble to be recovered by SD, very lucky!. SD now try and run down the clock as time approaches the 4th, with constant running from Mathews, serious case of fumbilitis!

4th Quarter.
SD run on all downs and get nowhere thanks to solid D from the Chiefs. J.Merian and the Chiefs get the ball at their own 9yd line after a good punt! After some impressive passing across the middle the Chiefs move up to their own 30yd line, J. Merian with the ball, throws deep, picked off by newly signed FA Craig Dahl!, once again SD try to run it taking precious time off the clock, with Mathews running past players to gain first down near halfway. SD then decide to go to the air once more and get to the 11yd line, Rivers to Meachem for TD! It could just as easily been picked off by Chiefs LB, lucky for SD he wasn't paying attention!

Just over 3mins to go in the 4th and SD kick, Chiefs return to the 24yd line, SD's D stands firm and on 3rd down, with Chiefs needing a score fast, they throw a pic to ROLB Melvin Ingram, leaving SD with position of the ball at their own 30yd line. SD run once again to get that clock down! Punt to Chiefs who get the ball near the 30yd line, with just over 2mins left to go Kansas travel down the filed to near the halway, then J. Merian goes deep and It's picked off once again by Craig Dahl, with only 50 seconds left on the clock SD kneel it out!

Great game, Berty, adjusting on D and converting on 3rd was key for me here! The game was much closer than the score suggests.

Some Stats:
Passing
SD - Rivers - 140.7 Rating ' 240Yds ' 3 TD
Kansas - J Merian - 52.7 Rating ' 205Yds ' 2TD 4 Int (Matt Cassel with one other)

Rushing

At least we know you're human

It was actually my 5th loss in a row over the leagues I play in and it was one Shane totally deserved. His offence was excellent and he was able to move the ball very well throughout while his much maligned defence was fantastic.

Just think I need some more practice with my comrades from Mars

And for those around in the M12 days, Shane was a quality player and pretty much topped his division each season..

Exactly. An unexpected result for sure, but Shane is a serious player.

Brown took an early lead with Weeden hitting Lee Evans and Greg Little on good routes and then tight end Ben Watson on a 38yd bomb.
Trent Richardson powered in for 28 yd run outside the tackles

Browns then missed a 41yd FG but took scored another to take a 10-0 lead in the second quarter.

But it didn't last long as Isiad Pead the running back took in a 17yd TD.
In the special teams play of the seson the Rams caught a bouncing punt at the 2yd line, how did that do that :eek:
Browns put 3 defensive backs deep and Danny Amendola scorched them all for a 90 yd TD

Pride hurt the Browns GM tried the same with 6 seconds left in the quarter, Travis Benjamin WR beat the coverage but the pass just missed

Half time Rams 14 - Brown 10

Battle of the kickers in the 3rd quarter, Browns scored a FG while the Rams hit the crossbar, unlucky!

Greg Little was nailed on the most outrageous pass interference I've ever seen, where were the flags??? :mad:


4th quarter Rams 14 - Browns 13

Greg the Leg made it 17 -14 and then Kenny Britt after dropping passes all day took a 15 yd bullet in the corner of the endzone.

Browns go hurry up, there were no disagreements here, we had the mics
Greg Little with a diving catch at the goaline and it's powered in by Trent Richardson.
Weeden fooked up the 2 point conversion with a wounded duck of a pass :rolleyes:

24 Rams - 20 Browns with 3 minutes left

Browns contine the fightback and Marcel Reece runs the same play twice in a row for a 13yd TD pass and Browns take the lead inside the 2 minute warning
To be honest my fullback is faster then Steven Jackson :pac:

4th and long and the Rams GM delivers to drive up the field and make it 27-27

Here's to overtime

Rams in FG range and Isiah Pead gets walloped and fumbles the ball. :eek:
An almighty scramble ensues and it's a Rams offensive lineman who recovers

Greg the leg converts a 56yd FG seals it and the Rams win 30 - 27

MVP
Isiah Pead 24attempts 94 yds at rushing and 5 catches 38 yds 1 TD at passing

Injury news
Jay Dwyer MLB for the Rams out for 3 weeks with abdonminal tear
Joe Haden my best player done for the season with a broken collar bone

Cracking game Rams, one of the best I've played in a long, long time

Nelbert do you actually use a mic? I asked you a question in the second qtr of our game and got no answer. I thought then that I heard you cough in the third. You also failed to inform me you were going hurry up in the fourth.

I bought a mic only recently. The on/off toggle is a bit dodgy however and I'm now not sure if people can hear me. I was under the impression that as long as I could hear people they could hear me, if that's not the case I apologise unreservedly!
I've also just corrected a cat5 issue that made my internal net link run at 100mbps instead of a gig.
If the combo of the above or one or the other is (or hopefully was) the issue hopefully its sorted now. Will try a friendly game later if someone is about to test my mic before I drop more money on another new one.
