I got beat good. He neutralized Steven Jackson and I fell apart from there on offense.

[DYSI]

Really good game, Tits. You almost had the momentum back when Steven Jackson got into the end zone if it wasn't for that holding call. Better luck next year for my Niners though, one game short of winning all my games and it cost me a playoff spot.

[Rocketbusta]

31-28 OT win over the Pats, a last second TD pass to Andre Davis put me in position to tie the game, then an INT of Tom Brady in overtime gave me the chance to kick the winning field goal. The first half was horrid for me 3 INTs by Schaub, Owen Daniels left the game early with a bruised sternum. Second half, turned it around enough to end up with a big win. Bring on the playoffs.

[Meacon Keaton]

WOOHOO! PLAYOFF TIME!

[Rocketbusta]

Incidentally, I have to pick up a Strong Safety for the playoffs, Nick Ferguson is out for 9 weeks, which means he's done until next season.

[Your Mom]

How do I find out if I made it?

[Meacon Keaton]

Probably won't know for sure until Dragsy advances.

Da Bears are taking their ball and apparentely going home with it, 'cause they sure as fuck aren't playing much offense >_>

Just a brief one to finish up the regular season, because I'm tired and want to get to the playoffs. Quick aside, I may edit this post to reflect stat changes for week 16, as I put these up before rolling the week over just in case going to the playoffs erased the regular season stats. The standings are accurate, however.

The Playoff Picture

Wildcard Weekend

Giants at Bears/Dragsy

Rams/Tits at Eagles

Winners will visit either mystikz' Saints or Ekin's Seahawks. meacon's Broncos and HoodedMandarin's Texans will represent the AFC in the disional round, facing the winners of either Colts/Dolphins or Raiders/Ravens. Match-ups will be dependent on the results of Colts/Dolphins and Raiders/Ravens.

I am not sure how the Eagles secured the home field, unless Tits lost to them in the season?

Finally, some of you guys seem to be tearing through opponent week after week. I'll go into more after the regular season, but is anyone wanting to up the difficulty and/or adjust quarter lengths or the accelerated clock?

[Meacon Keaton]

You didn't make it, Srar.

[Your Mom]

I knew it

[Cactus Drags]

I'd feel bad if you weren't the Packers >_>

[Meacon Keaton]

I feel like a boost in difficulty would be fine. I think out of all the games I played against the computer, I was challenged twice.

And Dragsy, the Eagles got home field over the Rams, because Philly won the NFC East, whereas Tit's Rams are a wildcard team.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, I misread the standings, I forgot to edit the question out.

Bears beat the Giants in a dramatic OT thriller. Giants had their way with my defense to start with, throwing at will, despite which they still kept going to Jacobs, who I all but completley shut down (he did have over 100 yards, but 50-odd came off a flukey TD run). My offense sputtered to start with - first play resulted in a pick 6. Dumped Kevin Jones because he couldn't break a tackle, the original Adrian Peterson did well in his place with 68 yards and a TD. My defense saved it for me, forcing 4 turnovers (2 INTs, 2 fumbles) and Urlacher dominated with 11 tackles.

Two really tense highlights for me. The first was NY kicking a field goal to tie at 31 with a second left in the game. Hester fields the kick-off, breaks a tackle at the 30 and breaks out down the sideline as time expires for what I was expecting to be the winning score, but he got dragged down just inside the 20. Gutted.

The whole overtime period had me twitchy. They won the coin toss, but went three and out. I had a big drive which ended in an interception, but fortunately on their next drive (after about 40 ayrds of unstoppable offense), Tillman forced Jacobs to fumble and I managed to drive down and pick up a 44 yard field goal for the win.

Really enjoyable game, and with it actually meaning something, it was really quite nerve-wracking. I presume I'll be playing the Seahawks in the divisional round, right? I still get confused on the seeding >_>

[Your Mom]

The difficulty is perfect for me. I may have won 9 games but most of them were really close and hard fought. A harder diffculty might sink me but majority rules.

[DYSI]

Hurry up and finish the playoffs so we can start the next season and I can actually have a chance.

I'm predicting a Saints/Broncos Superbowl. No real reason though...

[Rocketbusta]

Given my play against other human opponents, I wouldn't be surprised.

[mystikz]

guess we're just waiting on the rams? assuming he wins it looks like I go vs the bears while we get seahawks/rams round 3.

[Cactus Drags]

I hope the Rams lose, I came close-ish against the Seahawks, I get a feeling the Saints would annihilate me.

[mystikz]

I don't know you do have the most forced fumbles in the league and Reggie Bush has a bad habit of fumbling...

[Tits McGee]

Sorry I have not played my game yet guys.. I just NOW got power back on after our bad snow storm Friday and Saturday. I will play my game soon.
