GG, How do you run plays 25+ times to the same player and he not get injured? No joking aside, I pretty much expect whoever I "start" in a game will be injured. I knew that's what you were gonna do but the game doesn't actually afford plays to stop those wheel routes to the RB. LB's trail horizontally and don't close the gap until after the RB is past them?

To add to that, only one time in 18 months have I seen an LB actually read/jump a dump off route for a knockdown/interception between the RB and QB. I don't mean at the point where the RB catches the ball but while it's still traveling in the air.

Anyone have any thoughts on those dump off routes?

Luck I guess. He has some injuries last year tho. And yeah, those wheel routes are nearly unstoppable. I try to not overabuse them but sometimes it feels like QB's only throw to that route.

All you can do is acquire fast (80) and above speed LBs with good coverage skills. You can override and sub in DBs in formations that have RB release plays. That’s all I got. I don’t do any of it but if I did, that what’d I’d do.

Good game Chargers...it seems like the loser of our first match up always comes back and wins the second game in this rivalry.

I think we caught a good sim, but my offense has been firing on all cylinders the last few games, unfortunately I think it's going to be too little too late.

Good luck the rest of the way...I'll be pulling for you in the playoffs.


We're probably close to .500 against each other over the seasons. Well played.

GG Miami

This has been a rollercoaster season for Patriots, but the last couple of games has shown that the New England team is on their way back. Closing the season with a win against Miami is always good - keeping Miami at 5 first downs total, is something the fans will remember for a long time.

GG Pats. Not trying to be cocky but I played with the 'Load Recommended' Gameplan and all my backups lol.

WOW Incredible game Granddad. My backup QB throw's 5 TD's??... I'm not sure what to think about this game.. I started every backup in every position I could and offensively had one of my best games without my running attack. The sitting was golden as not a single "starter" was injured this game WHOOP!

I did notice that you rested Fiorini - but still, huge closing for a up and down New England season :)

I’m with you 100% coach, it’s all about finishing! I’m glad New England has GM like you! You will no doubt turn things around there

Great game Duval/Lions, has to be highest scoring game this season? The Peckers got smoked to the max on the CB2 side, Pennybaker just ate up the slow corners, especially #47, Mary (44 speed). Mary has had a good season up to that game, but our DC will be making a few changes to correct that problem and Im real glad to find out about it now, than in the playoffs. The hanging effigies of Davis, HC East, & the Front Office, along with the graffitti have been quietly removed and painted over in Packer Town. The "Big Deal" Davis trade is now coming to bear serious fruit. We came out of that game clean as far as injuries go, which is a big help going into the playoffs. If the Pecker offense keeps playing like that, and the defense adjustments work out, we should be a pretty dangerous team in the playoffs. The goof up loss to Arizona cost us the division, congrats on winning it. And now.... we go again in the WC round, rematch right away, :) cheers, gdb

Well, a 3 game winning streak is a good way to go out as GM. 7-9, one win short of a new contract.
