Ill get the stats later... but Green Bay holds on vs. New Orleans 35-33. Saints led big at half, but Green Bay grinded back to take their first lead at 35-30. New Orleans added a FG to make it 35-33, and kicked off to GB with about 4 mins left. Packers were about to ice it, but they threw a pick with under two to play and gave New Orleans the ball at their own 35. On the very next play, the QB would be sacked and GB would scoop up the fumble - icing the game.
In one of its best all around performances of the season, Tampa Bay took the lead early and never relinquished it. Tampa offensively and defensively finally gave the fans the level of execution of a game plan they have been yearning for all season. Doug Martin had 22 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown while the defense led by Lavonte David and Ray Lewis held Cam and the Panthers to moderate gains and a total of 216 yards of offense. recently signed third year player Tank Carder came up with an 83 yard scoop and score off of a Cam Newton fumbled Qb keeper after Lavonte knocked it free. The win gives Tampa a 5 - 9 record on the season with games remaining at home against atlanta and Indy.
Patriots beat San Diego in a tight battle! New England hosted the San Diego Chargers in a must win game if they want to get that first round bye in the playoffs alive. To start of game Chargers win the toss and elect to kick which was a touchback. The VERY first play Vereen got the handoff and fumbled. Vereen hasn't fumbled in the last 6 games so he due. San Diego took a couple plays before Brandon Bolden punched it in to go up 7-0 with in 2 mins. It took a basically a whole quarter for the Patriots to score as Josh Boyce took a simple curl route, made a guy miss and took it to the house for 73 yards. The 2nd quarter was punts and couple picks and a couple 1 yard touchdowns by both running backs and a fg to end the half with a score of 14-17 Chargers. The 2nd half was a sweaty palmed half as it was tight see-saw score. Ladarius Green 28 yard post route for a touchdown in the 3rd to make the score 21-17 going into the 4th. Chargers drove down field and scored a 2 yard touchdown to go up 21-24. Patriots Defense came up huge as they forced up fumble as Chargers tried to run alot of the clock down as the clock just got under 3 mins. Mallet drove down the field and threw a touchdown to Gronkowski to make the end score 28-24 GG bawvu97 Next week the Patriots will host the New York Jets in a HUGE divisional match-up. This game might decide who gets the first round bye in the playoffs.
San Francisco turns in their best performance of the year, but it may be too little too late. The 49ers need to win out by beating St. Louis and Seattle, while Seattle and Green Bay need to lose. However, on this day, the 49ers and Rams went at it and if nothing else set the stage for a real battle in 2015. The 49ers defense, still without star LB Aldon Smith, played true to form and kept Rookie QB Bennie Hill in check and under control. Meanwhile, the ageless Frank Gore carries 28 times for 152 and 2 TDs to push SF through in OT. Check out the 4th quarter in the archive... we had up to 8 viewers this morning. GG BRUCE80 and best of luck the rest of the way. See you next season!
Skins - 38 Giants - 0 Washington went into MetLife this week and continued their perfect streak against the Giants since Owner Matrix Monkey first bought the team. The Giants were in dissary after the NFL Commissioner banned the Giants head coach from the league. They couldn't muster anything on offense and despite creating 3 turnovers on defense they failed to register anything on the scoreboard. The Skins were effective on the air and through the ground thanks in part to Pierre Garcon returning from injury, but RG3 continued his INT throwing ways but made up for it by scoring 5 TDs. Washington maintains their all important half game lead in the division race thanks to the early season tie against the Bills. The division race will come down to Week 17 if the Eagles can notch a win against the Seahawks in Week 16. RG 3 - 92.1 QBR 24/37 300 yds 4 TD 3 INT, 3 rush 19 yds 1 TD Alfred Morris - 22 car 125 yds 5.7 YPC, 2 rec 39 yds Pierre Garcon - 8 rec 103 yds 1 TD Ryan Kerrigan - 5 TKL 4 TFL 4 Sacks Brian Orakpo - 6 TKL 4 TFL 1 Sack DHall - 1 TKL 2 INT
Phins 34 Bolts 7 I played the CPU because Cgreen214 had some family committments and I didnt want to get anyone hurt. What a waste of time this was for me. I should have let it sim lol Rivers couldnt hit the broad side of a barn (but he did manage to hit plenty of DB's right in the hands) and my 2nd year QB was even worse. As pitiful as Rivers is, I don't see how we can trade him now in the off season. Having Weddle on Defense did help a bit but the phins put up about 180 yards on the ground. Next season can only get better Last game of the season is against the Chiefs
Damn once again sorry I couldn't make it happen on my end with all the family stuff going on. Sucks you had to play the cpu. Look forward to playing you next season man.
Bills hold off Colts 10-7 After two disconnects and the final one coming as we were running the clock down at the two minute warning in a 24-6 game, the Bills were able to get an ugly win against the CPU Colts. Both QBs played terribly and the Bills kept turning it over in the redzone. This game was crucial for playoff implications and the Bills were happy to come away with a win. The win came at a price as Marcel Darreus was lost for 5 weeks with a broken toe. GG BrewBomber was an intense game in that 24-6 one that cutout. Thanks for going on AP for me.
Hopkins sends Buffalo to the playoffs Buffalo's defense was great all day and held strong despite the early hole the offense dug. After two interceptions and a 99 yard run by David Wilson, the Giants had a 10-0 lead midway through the second. Buffalo couldnt establish any rhytym in the game, much less the first half but added two FG's to cut the lead to 10-6 at half. To start the second EJ threw a pick, and the Buffalo defense held again forcing a short punt. The Bills finally found the endzone just before the 4th on a long run by Spiller taking a 13-10 lead. After the Giants tied the game after another Bills turnover, Buffalo went on their only good drive of the game in which Spiller got his second touchdown and gave the Bills a 20-13 lead. The Giants still couldnt move the ball but thanks to injuries and the Bills not being able to get a first down they got two chances inside of two minutes. The game appeared over as Lache Odom intercepted Nassib inside the 20 with 45 seconds left, but a roughing the passer penalty gave the Giants another shot, which they converted on the next play to tie the game. With just under 40 seconds left and a timeout to work with EJ Manuel found his speedy backup TE Gragg after his first two options were covered. Gragg made a man miss and found space getting to the Giant 33. The Bills spiked the ball and used their timeout to center it on a run. Dustin Hopkins walked on the field and nailed the 50 yard FG as time expired sending the Bills to the playoffs for the second consecutive season. Love the way the Giants fought even though they had nothing to play for, they almost ruined the Bills season
The Vikings beat the clearly tanking CPU Saints 34-0, clinch a first round bye. Could clinch homefield throughout the playoffs.
Yeah, that sucks you got booted for excessive grieving at the end. Never understood that with no pauses by you. GG though.
Patriots beat Jets for 1st place of the AFC! New England hosted the New York Jets in this HUGE week 16 match-up as it was for the division lead and AFC #1 seed. New England had gotten embarrassed earlier in the year when the Jets beat New England 48-17. Ryan Mallet knew going into this game was gonna be a very tough match-up as the Jets defense is one of the best in the league. The first quarter was solid defensive quarter as it ended 0-0 only because Gostkowski missed a 54 yard fg. 2nd quarter was when Mallet and Co. started to wake up. It didn't start out the greatest tho as Gostkowski would miss a easy chip shot 39 yard fg at the start of the quarter, but New England defense was tough as they kept forcing 3 and outs. Gostkowski would finally hit his first fg with 4 mins left in the 2nd quarter to make it 3-0. New York couldn't get anything going as they had another 3 and out and would kick back to New England. Ryan Mallet would have a 7 play drive and end it with a 21 yard td to Ladarius Green who was streaking up the seam to make it 10-0 going into halftime. 2nd half would look like the Patriots would continue to roll as they got the ball to start 2nd half and drove down the field on 9 play 4 min drive that would end in a 19 yard pass to Josh Boyce in the back corner of the endzone and make it 17-0. Geno Smith and the Jets would finally wake up and would make their own nice like drive as Geno would complete 7 out of 8 passes, but only come to a end with a 19 yard fg w 1 min left in the 3rd quarter. The Jets look to continue their momentum as they would force a New England 3 and out going into the 4th quarter with a score 17-3. New England's defense would finally step up and stop Geno's little run and force a punt and then drove down the field that would end in a 1 yard touchdown by Derrick Coleman making the score 24-3. Geno came back with a nice drive but only to have it ended as he threw a pass to Clyde Gates that would bounce off his hands and 3 other players to have it end up in Devin McCourty's hands for the interception with 5 mins remaining in the game. New England would feel as they had the game won so all the backups came in to finish the game off. Gostkowski would miss his 3rd fg of the game with 2 mins left and give the ball back to New York but only to have them have another 3 and out. The Patriots would run the clock out after that making the final score 24-3 and clinch the AFC East and top spot of the AFC. GG CPU New England will host the Denver Broncos in week 17 and Coach Belichick has hinted he was gonna play his starters only for a short period of time as he wants to continue with the momentum. Patriots will get Tom Brady back in week 17 and he will start the game but only get a limited action.
Seattle 34 Baltimore 21 Baltimore, MD -- The Seahawks headed into their week 13 matchup with a chip on their shoulder. Having dropped a few games the Hawks needed to get back to their winning ways in order to keep pace in the NFC playoff race. The Hawks, if they wanted to win were going to have to do it without two of their star players RB Marshawn Lynch and CB Brandon Browner. Russell Wilson knew he had to pick up the slack in the offense without his star running back and was up to the challenge. He ended up with 189 yards on the day with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. He also rushed for 58 yards to go along with RB Christine Michael's 46 on 8 attempts. The real star of the show was the Seahawks' defense. They forced Joe Flacco into throwing four interceptions and had five sacks. Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright all had interceptions. Morgan Burnett on the Ravens had their lone interception. Good game NeuroticTruth
Seattle 23 Pittsburgh 20 Seattle, WA -- Week 15's match up between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks was a tale of two teams headed in opposite directions. The Steelers, and coach nellycuz were looking to put their season behind them and focus on the draft and re-building a once great franchise. The Seahawks were looking to continue to win and solidify their spot in the playoffs. Despite two teams with different motivations, this game ended up being a very hard fought battle that went down to the wire. QB Landry Jones for the Steelers had a shaky start giving up a pair of interceptions early in the game, however the Seahawks didn't make the most of their opportunities and had to settle for field goals. Jones ended up going 22 for 31 for 245 yards 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. QB Russell Wilson was efficient with 230 yards on 16 of 26 passing with an interception, but no touchdowns. The Seahawks were able to get their ground game going with Christine Michael gaining 47 yards on 9 carries, Robert Turbin with 55 yards on 13 carries and Wilson with 35 yards on 6 carries. Sherman and Earl Thomas both had interceptions for the second week in a row, however, the defense wasn't able to generate a sack all game. The Seahawks were able to play smart and limit their mistakes which led to the victory. Good game nellycuz
Seahawks 26 Eagles 17 Seattle, WA -- In what was billed as Seattle's biggest game of the season, the team came out swinging and was able to get the better of a very talented Philadelphia Eagles team. The Seahawks seem to be firing on all cylinders at the right time of the year. Russell Wilson continues to carry the team with the absence of Marshawn Lynch. Wilson was 14 for 25 for 201 yards 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. RB Robert Turbin got it going late in the game to ice the clock, but struggled to find room most of the game. He finished with 77 yards on 23 carries and Christine Michael had 37 yards on 12 carries. The Seahawks, once again, won the turnover battle with two interceptions to Wilsons one interception. Earl Thomas continues to be huge on the defense and had another pick as did Walter Thurman late in the game to seal it. Next week the Seahawks play division rival San Francisco in a game which doesn't have as much meaning as it did if they were not able to win yesterday. This win guarantees a playoff spot, but beating the 9ers next week and a Philadelphia loss would give them a higher seed. Good game mboda good luck in the playoffs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers saved their best performance for last in the last week of the season to the delight of the sellout crowd at Raymond James. The team jumped out to a first quarter lead of 17 - 0 against the visiting Colts who were with out star QB Andrew Luck. Indy forced the Bucs to punt on its opening drive and had the ball on the Colt 39 yard line when Tim Jennings Jumped in front of Dysert pass giving his offense excellent field position. Seven plays later, Tampa scored the first TD of the game as Mike Glennon and Julius Thomas connected on a 23 yard scoring connection. Dysert then threw his second consecutive INT on as many attempts to start the game, this time to Darrelle Revis. Dave Buehler trotted out four plays later to kick his first of two field goals of the game. Dysert looked to have shaken off the rough start as he marched his team down the field. Revis struck again for his second INT of the game, this time a 95 yard pick six to end the first quarter. Glennon found reserve halfback Lance Dunbar across the middle for a 28 yard TD pass and the 24 point lead five plays later. Tim Jennings added his second INT of the half to scure the 27 - 0 halftime lead. int he second half the Buccaneer defense added four more INTs to run its tally to nine on the day. GG BrewBomber
Ravens beat up Ravens ... CPU game due to error on my part, turnovers and 3 & outs spelled for a pretty boring game in H-Town. Player of the Game: Arian Foster 25 - 122, 2 TDs
Skins at Rams week 17 This was like a playoff game with the second seed and a bye week on the schedule also HFA until the NFC Championship game should we make it that far and if the Vikings also win in the Divisional round. The Rams moved the ball well and mixed the run and pass to move it but the Skins D was very tough in the redzone and forced Greg the Leg to kick a season high 5 FGs. The Rams were only able to generate 1 TD drive. The flip side of that was that the Rams D was even tougher on the Skins O...the biggest play of the game was the James L stepped in front of a Griffin pass near the Rams 5 and returned it outside the 20 to turn away the Skins best drive early in the second half. The Skins would net a late TD and try an onside kick that the Rams recovered. Stacy was a man in this game and Dez had a nice game receiving the ball. Rams win 22-9 to take the #2 seed heading into the playoffs...and end the season 8-0 at home. GG Matrix Monkey
This was a good game between ZCar and I, but unfortunately his Madden game froze early in the 4th QTR I believe. Z put his self on auto and the above score is the results of the game. In the CPU game Cam Newton looked to make plays all by his self, scrambling to the edge often resulting in a large amount of sacks for the Texans. Player of the Game : JJ Watt 3 Tackles, 3 Sacks
Browns play like complete cat shit (Can you say that in a re-cap? ) , still manage to somehow win close one ! Cleveland 19 Jacksonville 15 In a game that hopefully nobody but two people had to endure the Browns somehow pulled out a victory against the Jags. This was a game of which team would fail harder and most often, and came right down to the end. The Cleveland defense was stout against MJD holding him to 45 yards on 22 carries on the day, but gave up some chunks of yards in the passing game. Rookie QB Manny "Michigan sucks balls" Lara had a respectable game against a defense that has forced more turnovers than any other this season. The young QB had 223 yards but failed to complete more than 50% of his passes on the day. The Browns rookie QB was busy having his own issues , tossing 4 picks in route to 168 yards. Luckily the ground game carried the offense as Tate & Fields combined for 127 yards on the day. This game still came down to the wire , with the Jags driving to midfield and chucking a hail marry to the shortest person in the stands , field, league, possibly state in MJD who jumped over 753 Cleveland defenders to get his hands on the ball , only to have it knocked out at the last moment by Joe Haden. GG jay2149 , good luck next season.
Terrell Suggs is the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of things that have happened , Browns however kick game winner as time expires and win division ! Ravens 21 Browns 24 Cleveland ends the season with a hard fought win against bitter rivals and total assholes the Baltimore Ravens. This was a good back and forth battle for most of the game with the Ravens scoring late in the 4th quarter to tie the game. The next Cleveland drive stalled quickly and was forced to punt into the wind , giving the Ravens semi decent field position. The Browns defense quickly forced a 3rd and long and surprisingly Flacco tossed a pick to Buster Skrine giving the Browns new life inside the Baltimore 50 yard line. After a couple quick 1st downs the Browns ran down the clock and kicked a field goal as time expired , giving the Browns their first division title and first round bye since 256 A.D. Players of the Game CLE- Josh Gordon 6 rec 97 yards 1 TD BAL- Terrell Suggs 7 tackles 4 sacks 1 INT 1 TD , rescued 12 kittens from a house fire , cured AIDS , and found that missing plane CNN keeps talking about. GG NeuroticTruth , hope Suggs ruptures his everything in a freak balling so hard accident in the offseason. See you next year bud.
