Awesome game Seattle/awest. Was lucky to pull that one out after blowing our lead in the 4th qtr, which was painful to watch, knew it was coming after you got the 50 yd play to your WR Sullivan at the TE position to get out of the hole on 3rd & 11 at the 3. Defense finally came back to life in time to get the 3 & out with a minute left, and the offense also got back in the game with a couple of long completes. Had a real sore spot at LT with injuries, both starting OTs are out. sub OT Sykes was gettin killed by DE Randolph, will need to find another OT replacement/help, cheers
That was a great game, unfortunately I came out on the wrong side. I saw a lot of positives in probably my biggest test of the season, but my offense couldn't get out of their own way in the first half. I thought you might run away with it after my first drive went 3 and out my 2nd was a fumble and my 3rd was an interception. I'm still not sure my team is over the curse of the road games yet. Last season I went 9-7 and I won just 1 game on the road. This season I have played 2 games the first a 3 point win and now a 3 point loss to make it 1-1 on the road. The good news is I haven't lost at home since week 6 of 1974 1 point loss to SF. My only other loss at home since1972 was in week 5 1973 4 point loss to SF. I'm 36-2 95% at home since 1972, but I'm 22-10 69% on the road. I'm feeling cursed on the road, I don't feel like it should be that dramatic of a difference.
For those new to the game: (not Androwski cause your a vet but bring up a great subject) As in RL, ratings can be deceiving. For a RL extreme example, Ryan Leaf had all the "Ratings" in the world and Tom Brady did not. And there's a lot of examples in between this extreme. In this game using ratings as a guide and game film on how a cat actually plays.
I've also ran across some very good system QB's with lower ratings. I won a championship with an overall rated QB of 64 I believe it was. I've also had QB's that had great ratings and put up all the stats. But he always seemed to choke when things counted. I've asked jdb if there was a hidden clutch factor and if memory serves me right, he said that there wasn't but a lot of other factors could contribute to this. I will ak him again so i get this right and post it in our leagues help section. Either way it's pretty kool.
Yeah I've seen a few examples in MFN like this too. And not just the players, but a good gameplan can do wonders too, that's why I was praising Steelers' owner.
Good game Colts....that was an ugly win....I had a sinking feeling we were going to blow it in the end, but hung on to get the victory. But RB1 Kibbe gets injured on the last run of the game.
Great defensive battle in that one Browns/warthog, feel very fortunate to come away with the win. Especially with both starting OTs and RDE out. Dont think Ive seen more passes to the flat dropped or incomplete by both teams in a game. Real pleased with the Pack defense, only giving up 6, either we got a good sim or the adjustments to the defense play selection and gameplan worked out, or a combo of both. good luck in the playoffs.
GG Raiders! I had a feeling from the first possession that this was gonna be one of those crazy sims. Have to remember to give my kicker a raise! He saved the the game! Guess I should be happy that my young QB led a come from behind and my D showed up after being on vacation the last few sims. Your team has been on fire the last 6 wks and the loss of your #1 RB was a big hit on your offense. still all in all a GG. Catch you down the road a bit sir. MM
