I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
Jets win 28-17 in a snow filled MetLife Stadium. Picks were the name of the game as each team had an INT returned for a TD, but the back breaker was a 4th quarter 80 yard pick six as the Titans were driving for the go ahead score with under 2 mins remaining. That put the game out of reach.

GG. All my dudes just tanked the last 2 games, Carr was playing like a manageable NFL QB until he just started making GBS threads himself all over the place. I was able to contain your option game, but my dbs would just tard out on curl routes and crossing routes. Oilers are one and done.

That was probably the most intense madden game i've played in a long time and certainly one of the grindiest gritty playoff matchups we will soon see.

Waah and the Chiefs dominated the first half, as Tannehill commits a terrible pick six when the Colts are within field goal range with 20 seconds left in the half! Luckily the Colts flipped the script on Glennon who had not missed a throw the whole first half and sacked him three times and completely shut down the running game.

There is nothing more than I want than to have the ball in my hands and be able to get the go ahead score and luckily I got it. There was NO way I was throwing at Haden again so I had to line Fitzgerald up in the slot and it seemed to work, he was getting behind your linebackers. Jamaal Charles had both of the Colts touchdowns but wasn't really able to muster up any sort of big plays.

Next up is the Divisional round against the undefeated Ravens. In the last matchup he went up on me 21-0 at the half and ended up winning 28-21. This should be a more competitive game and hopefully the Colts can end their reign of terror.

The computer processed everything right.

NFC side:

The 3rd seed (Bears) and the 5th seed (Bucs) advanced. So the 1st seed (Cowboys) play the 5th seed (buccaneers). That leaves the 2nd seed and 3rd seed to play each other.


AFC side:

The 3rd (Colts) and 4th (Jets) each advanced. So the 1st seed (Ravens) get the Jets, and then the 2nd and 3rd seeds face each other.

You'd think at first glance, but it is wrong. It was right in the WC Round, but the way NFL playoffs work is the first seed is supposed to play the winner between 3 and 6 seed.

If you look at historical brackets, you'll see where it's hosed up in Divisional. I'm not complaining because I don't have to get beat by the Panthers for a 3rd time, but it's definitely wrong.

I'm pretty sure the 1st seed is supposed to play the lowest remaining seed remaining. For example, lets look at the NFC side of the 2009-2010 playoffs:

1. Saints
2. Vikings
3. Cowboys
4. Cardinals
5. Packers
6. Eagles

So the wild card round is: Cowboys/Eagles and Cardinals/Packers. In that round, both the Cardinals and Cowboys won.

So the remaining teams are:

1. Saints
2. Vikings
3. Cowboys
4. Cardinals

Under your version, the Saints would have faced the Cowboys. But in reality, the Vikings faced the Cowboys and the Saints faced the Cardinals (the 4th seed). Brackets aren't set in the wild card round. Brackets become set in the divisional round.

Efb; stupid phone posting. Like last year, I wanted Carolina to play the Saints in the playoffs, not the 49ers, but Seattle got the Saints because they were the #1 and the Saints were the #6

Yeah in what you linked its like he said. The #1 seed always plays the lowest remaning seed in divisional round. Madden did it right other than not having Joe Haden turn into a Super Saiyan and deliver a BBQ slathered Lombardi Trophy with all the fixins on the side of course to Andy Reid.

No matter how the Cowboys do, you will see tons of the animation where Manziel throws his thumbs in the air, hops around, and points towards his name on the back of his jersey.

Yeah, it happens alot more on positive plays, but I have seen him pointing to his name smugly after coming up way short on a third down or getting blasted out of bounds with a hit before reach the first down marker. The guy just really likes his name.

I can't believe that ending. Only got the run going at the end and I was almost too afraid to pass because... well you see what Geno does when I throw... Good game man.

Panthers move onto NFCCG with a 9-7 OT win over the Bears and a walk off safety.
e: gently caress I forgot about that goal line stand at the 1 in the first half... Ended up being huge.

Yeah, some weird poo poo happened those last two drives. About 8 dropped picks, multiple 4th down conversions (one where my user controlled lb was right there and did nothing as I mashed triangle), and the ability to run on every single defense I tried to throw at you when they didnt work most of the game. I honestly knew once I got that pick that there was no way they'd give me a touchback and that it would either end on me throwing a pick right back due to pressure or a safety. The madden gods spoke.

Just because it was a playoff game and I pretty much had no doubt that I would win until crazy poo poo started happening near the end. I couldn't even try to get the ball back effectively because Geno had to convert multiple 4th and 3s in the red zone at the end.

I had to guess run in overtime to stop the run and ended up getting a four yard loss, the next play my LB drops an easy pick, and then the play after that my player got a pick which looked to be in the end zone. I knew it wouldn't be, though, so they placed it basically on the goal line. Next play he guesses run up the middle and gets the safety immediately as I'm in shotgun trying to throw a quick slant

Cowboys 38 - Buccaneers 14

I called alot of defenses heavy on cornerbacks and linebackers since I figured Griffin would be running a bit. This helped alot because I had some speed in his backfield that helped to limit Griffin's mobility some. I got extremely lucky in getting some good run stops with Murray in these formations, which I wasn't expecting at all. I'm sure it was frustrating to have so much blitzing and everything, but I knew if I didn't, Griffin would tear me up with plenty of time to pass and room to run.

On the other side of the ball, I think that monster last game of the season was very helpful with Manziel's confidence. He made some great passes to move the chains repeatedly and was not errant at all. The Bucs ended the first half of the game getting a touchdown to pull within 10, getting the score to 17-7. Then with the second play of the 3rd quarter, the game was broken open by a huge run from Blount to give the Cowboys another touchdown. From there, Dubious was playing catch up and Griffin seemed harried.

I really did not expect the game to go like this at all, especially when I looked at your season stats and saw how effective the one-two punch of Robert Griffin and Demarco Murray. Had I not gotten lucky on making some running play stops working out of Dime and Dollar formations, I think it would have gone quite a bit differently.

I couldnt get any running room at all off those constant blitzes and had to go one dimensional with only one receiver who can get separation quickly and that was pretty much it.

I need to get better zone LBs in the offseason because i cant run my D scheme with the current crop.
