    Vince Young will attempt to pack Aaron Rodgers bags for a Superbowl trip by upsetting the Giants.

    Would be available late tonight but if not it'd be Monday as I've a friend's wedding tomorrow which will likely prevent me from being sober again until Monday.

    What suits the Giants???

    That suits me, can you do 10.30?

    Packers win! I can see why everyone struggled against the giants run game. Took me over a quarter to slow it down and I never really stopped it.
    Will try a match report later


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,864 ✭✭✭empacher


    Well done on the game, only thing that annoyed me was Greg Jennings. Having my top cb, ss and fs constantly with triple coverage on him and him still getting seperation :-( some serious madden flaw there

    Would it annoy you more if in one of our failed games he was injured for rest of season :S

    The madden gods appear to have chosen Vince Young to lead a revolution...... With Jennings as his right hand man...

    It appeared as though you were just moving them though, not necessarily changing their coverage (at least in some cases) so which ever one you didn't control yourself was sprinting back to get to whatever zone or man they were meant to be in/on.

    Jennings Route Running, Release, Catching and Catch in traffic are all upgraded to 99 so if there is even a small opening he is awesome regardless of who is or isn't around him.

    I know I chuckled when I read it. Wonderful irony!

    Just to be clear though this is NOT a Bledsoe / Brady will they won't they decision for the Boards Superbowl. There is no controversy!

    Rodgers will play.

    I can do tonight now actually Dave. Anytime from now.

    How much change is there actually going to be when Dave wins the superbowl though? You could very easily do the draft order now.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    Wednesday at 3, Dave.

    Nelbert, I won't win but if Dave gets kidnapped and held for ransom I can play Thursday evening or up to about 7 on Friday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Mikeyt086


    The Jags... win?

    Jets 14-17 Jaguars.

    MJD goes down injured in the 1st quarter, sprained ankle, out for game. I actually still am not sure how I managed to sneak this, looking at the stats, I had only 41 rushing yards. Tebow, although only 11 for 13 passing, was absolutely huge and came through in the clutch, in particular 2 deep balls, one on 3rd and 17, the other when trailing 14-10 and Nicks brought it down at the 3 yard line. My D was huge all game too, I went with a "bend, don't break" attitude and although Dave got his TD when he "broke" my coverage on a long gainer, I was very happy with how the unit operated.

    Jags scored first, a very risky pass to Heath Miller, followed by a FG to take a 10-0 lead into half time. Dave came roaring back and got a long TD to hill who got free through the middle and couldnt be caught, Dave then forced a punt and struck again, punching the ball in close with Stephens Howling. Tebow led the Jags downfield, and but after a sack on 1st down I decided to go for it, Nicks got ahead of his man and Tebow flew a perfect ball down to the 3 yard line. Rookie HB Justice Lewis got over the line. My D then forced Dave to punt, and I was working my way downfield when a pass to Nicks on a slant was jarred loose and the Jets got one of this crazy picks where he grabs it off his shoelaces, I thought my luck had run out, but then Simon Cox jumped a route on a Bench to grab a HUGE pick and Lewis was able to run the clock out.

    Good game Dave, don't know where that game came from personally but cheers for being a gent and hopefully I'll catch you on PFL in M25.

    Nelbert, MJD is fit for the Superbowl, Thursday isn't great for me, hows your Friday?
