Some of those I felt bad about because my guy was turned around. GG, your defense always gives me problems.

I feel like some kind of gameshark god as blessed me whenever we play a game. I can't imagine how frustrated you are right now.

For everyone else, the game went like this: Dubious was playing great defense in the first half, picking off three of my quarterbacks passes with his linebacker corps. Somehow, I stayed in the game. I was down 27 to 21 when I got the ball back with about 3 minutes to go in the game. I preceeded to march down the field and score a touchdown to go up by 1 point with about a minute and a half left on the clock. On the kickoff return, Dubious's returner does some good moves and only as to shake another two guys to go all the way. One of my players hits him with a pretty standard hit, and his returner fumbles the ball as he is going down. I recover and end up winning the game by running out the clock.

The computer didn't review the fumble at all, despite the play looking like the guy's knee might have been down. Even if it had reviewed, it was still a really crappy way to end the game and not give Dubious a drive to win the game (especially since he was only down by 1 point and only would have had to get within field goal range to win the the game).


I had no business winning that game after throwing those 3 picks in the first half. Somehow my defense bent but didn't break, but still. Its just real lovely that despite all that, you didn't get a chance for that last drive.

I have no idea why I have come up on the fortunate side of a bunch of our games in this league. :(

Sorry Dubious

I can stay up and we can get our game in around 11:30 est tonight if that works for you? That will give you an extra 30 minutes after you get home to get ready and everything.

Looking forward to our rematch from the first week of the season! I don't think I will be able to bottle up Bell like I did in that game.

Wooooo, have fun! I haven't been to a Coachella since 2009, but I massively preferred to the couple of Bonnaroos I went to. Looks like we will be getting in our game tonight, so you should definitely at least be able to do free agency before Thursday.

Works for me, I will keep my eye on here and on the ps4. I will probably have the ps4 set up to watch something on Hulu or HBO Go, so I should be online most of the evening.

Steelers win 24-14! My rookie qb did not fare well against a stout Steelers defense, throwing 6 interceptions. I'm just happy I was still in the game in the 4th quarter after all those picks. I actually got really lucky after I pulled within ten points in the 4th and got a fumble on a kickoff return, but I proceeded to throw another interception instead of pulling within a score. I like my players dropped like 8 interceptions as well, so that was the major deciding factor.

Great game and congrats Rad! Really good defensive efforts on both ends and it was great to see you win the whole season after a lovely start to the season.

I am becoming like the Bills of all Madden leagues. I can get to the superbowl, but I can never win one! Oh well, still happy I got this far and ready for the offseason.

It was a pretty sloppy game all around. I made a bunch of bad reads and got lucky. You did a great job of bottling up Bell. The difference was turnovers because I was having trouble moving the ball. Can't believe I actually won the Super Bowl with how lovely I was playing earlier in the year. I was on the verge of just quitting Madden at one point because I was frustrated with my team.

I want to see whats available in free agency, which I'm guessing might be garbage, but I might be interested. Plus his contract is very appealing. Would you take a 3rd and a 5th?

Also are we getting an advance tonight?
