GG 49ers, Not having my starting RT out there was punishing. Although I'm sure Moses being a rookie had a lot to do with not getting the ball out, 4 sacks for 50 yards... ouch. I'm amazed and relieved we won this game.

Catching just one of those 2 wide open end zone passes would have let me breath a little this morning.. ha

Our game was as ugly as the San Diego / Denver game. Except ours meant a whole lot less. lol Good luck in the off-season.

GG Miami/Andy, the Pack continues to roller coaster from game to game. "Big Deal" Davis had his best game by far since the trade. So, the first leg of a very tough 3 game finishing schedule vs all division leaders is in. If the Pack pulls off winning the next two, watch out Paydirt.

GG Wolveraider/ Raiders? I GUESS? Still trying to figure out that mess in the 3Q? I thought to myself when you guys missed that 1st FG that this was gonna be a screwy sim! I'm sorry we didn't get a a better sim sir....This division is too tough to have the season outcome squandered with this kind of BS! I would rather sweat out our one score, last minute, slugfests than win by 21 in a totally UNREALISTIC stinking piece of S@&t sim like this! Your not out of it yet it...Don't get me wrong I'm glad we won...I would have just liked to see (at least) a small part of my game plan used! You guys had 91 offensive plays and 25 1st downs! the 9 penalties against and of coarse the obligatory turnovers just killed you....The last TD where Smith broke loose was Bull and I have no clue why we went for a freakin 2 pt conversion up 32-13 lead???
Enough of my rant Good luck in the remaining games..................................................MM


Good game MM.........yes, what you said......that was one of the most frustrating sims I can remember watching since I started playing MFN.....that said, your team is always tough and good luck the rest of the way.

On a sidenote.....as far as GMs being on the hot seat....I'd like to suggest the "MM Amendment"...as in if you're getting your team to multiple double digit win seasons (3 consecutive right now and possibly 4) and still just miss the playoffs and they're keeping their cap in order etc.....I have a hard time saying that a GM should be removed from their team....but. that's just my AFC West biased opinion of course.

Ugly indeed.

However, it had an exciting finish and either team could have one.

GG, Denver!

Fun fact: Just noticed that Michael Franks finally hit the 10,000 rushing yards mark. First player to do so in Paydirt history.

GG Grandad. I couldn't do anything in this game.

The Paydirt Report: Week 14

The playoff picture is getting a lil clearer by the week. Or is it? The AFC West division title has been decided along with the AFC North and the NFC East. And the playoff teams in the NFC has been taken care of. But the division races in the NFC North, South and AFC East still need to be decided. There are still 4 teams in the AFC fighting for 2 Wild Card spots. So lets take a look at Week 14.

AFC
West
The Wild Wild West has been decided. The San Diego Super Chargers(11-3) has clinched their 5th West title thanks to their big win against Denver(9-5) 8-3. Kansas City(9-5) jumps into a tie with Denver for that last Wild Card spot as of week 14. Oakland(8-6) missed a golden opportunity this week losing to KC in a big game between them. One of many in their storied rivalry. All 3 teams are battling for a ticket to the dance.

East
With Miami's(11-3) lose to Green Bay, the NY Jets(10-4) move back within striking distance to grab the division championship. Have we heard this before?Miami has clinched a playoff berth and the Jets are still looking to do so. Both have tough game to close out the season and it may come down to Miami facing red hot New England(6-8) on the final week of the season. Im sure the Patriots would love to play spoiler. Buffalo(6-8) is playing out the season.

North
Cincinnati(9-5) clinches their 3rd AFC North title. A nice turn around from a tough season last year. Cleveland(6-8) can potentially have their first losing season in franchise history. Pittsburgh(5-9) and Baltimore(1-13) are off-season dreaming.

South
Houston(10-4) has already clinched the South and is trying to gain playoff positions in the closing weeks. Tennessee(5-9), Indianapolis(5-9) and Jacksonville(5-9) are trying to sort themselves out. Who wants second place?

NFC
East
Dallas(9-5) officially takes home the NFC East championship banner to hang up @ Texas Stadium. Philadelphia(5-8-1) finally bowed out and Washington(3-11) and NY Giants(1-12-1) have had awful seasons.

West
All Seattle(13-1) has to worry about besides injuries, is if they can get home field advantage throughout or not. Arizona(5-9) and Los Angeles(5-9) are tied for a meaningless 2nd place and San Francisco(4-10) trails the pack.

North
Speaking of Pack, The Detroit(11-3) and Green Bay(10-4) race for the North banner stays hot. Both teams win and are looking towards a week 16 showdown. Chicago(4-10) is watching from below and they are dancing in the streets of Minneapolis St Paul as Minnesota(1-13) wins their first game of the year. They tore down the goal posts and are turnover cars in the streets and lighting them on fire in jubilation. When did that become a thing? More importantly is why did that become a thing. Well thats for a whole other discussion now isnt it.

South
Tampa Bay(13-1) and Carolina(12-2) are still tracing punches like two prize fighter. Neither one wants to blink. The Bucs have two races going on at once. One for the division title and the other for home field advantage. After a tremendous turn around last season and a good first half of 1979, New Orleans(8-6) have finally fallen out of the race. After starting the season out 5-0, they have faltered 3-6 the rest of the way. Mcarovil will be combing through everything he can to see what happened to make correction for next year. Atlanta(3-11) struggles to close out the season with their 5th straight loss.

Games to Watch Week 15
Green Bay @ Tampa Bay - Battle Royal
Detroit @ Miami - Battle Royale
Carolina @ Chicago
Dallas @ Houston
San Diego @ Oakland
Jacksonville @ Kansas City
NY Jets @ Denver
