That was probably the ugliest game I've ever played in my life. I couldn't even fucking pass! -6 yards total.

lol I was talking to Wellington about the tiebreakers, but I'll post in here for fun. Assuming we are going by NFL rules (the following is just a example and not saying I believe this is what will happen but this is crazy)
Say I go 3-1 at the end here with 2 of my wins coming against shawn and wellie (yikes) and shawn goes 2-1 at the end here. We both finish 11-5. First tiebreaker is head to head which we would have split. Next is division record, we both finish 4-2 in the division. Next is common games in which we'd both have 2 losses against common opponents. Then comes conference record which we'd both have the same (8-4). Then its strength of victory which is the combined winning percentage of the oppenents... at which point I stopped going down this path of trying to determine who would win :lol . As wellie said... nuts

here are the tie breaking procedures!
NFL Tiebreaking Procedures
(March 20, 2002) -- With the NFL realigning into eight four-team divisions to accommodate the arrival of the Houston Texans, the league adopted new tiebreaking rules.
Common opponents will now be the third tiebreaker within a division after head-to-head games and division record because each of the four teams will have 14 common games in the 16-game schedule. The owners also moved the strength-of-victory tiebreaker ahead of the strength-of-schedule tiebreaker.
The six postseason participants from each conference will now be seeded as follows:
1. The division champion with the best record.
2. The division champion with the second-best record.
3. The division champion with the third-best record.
4. The division champion with the fourth-best record.
5. The Wild Card club with the best record.
6. The Wild Card club with the second-best record.
The following procedures will be used to break standings ties for postseason playoffs and to determine regular-season schedules.
NOTE: Tie games count as one-half win and one-half loss for both clubs.
TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION
If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.
Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).
1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM
If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.
1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.
Two Clubs
1. Head-to-head, if applicable.
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
4. Strength of victory.
5. Strength of schedule.
6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best net points in conference games.
9. Best net points in all games.
10. Best net touchdowns in all games.
11. Coin toss.
Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)
1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
5. Strength of victory.
6. Strength of schedule.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
9. Best net points in conference games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss
When the first Wild-Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second Wild-Card, i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. In situations where three or more teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tie breaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild-Card berth.
OTHER TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES
1. Only one club advances to the playoffs in any tie-breaking step. Remaining tied clubs revert to the first step of the applicable division or Wild-Card tie breakers. As an example, if two clubs remain tied in any tie-breaker step after all other clubs have been eliminated, the procedure reverts to step one of the two-club format to determine the winner. When one club wins the tie breaker, all other clubs revert to step 1 of the applicable two-club or three-club format.
2. In comparing division and conference records or records against common opponents among tied teams, the best won-lost-tied percentage is the deciding factor since teams may have played an unequal number of games.
3. To determine home-field priority among division titlists, apply Wild-Card tie breakers.
4. To determine home-field priority for Wild-Card qualifiers, apply division tie breakers (if teams are from the same division) or Wild-Card tie breakers (if teams are from different ivisions).

Looks like Shawn would have Sable beat in strength of schedule.
Only choice is to win out, Sable. It's only games with Bob, me, slo, and Shawn.

FMT Power Rankings are up. They lack all youtube content, so they probably suck
:lol :lol :lol :lol I'm laughing on the outside, but crying on the inside. I remember this like you'd remember being prison raped. I forget exactly when it happened, but I remember it was the loudest I ever bitched about a game in Madden history.
Is that really FMT in that pic? That's the guy that bosses me around and makes me feel guilty for falling behind with my games? That's the guy that after he bosses me around bails on the NBA league halfway through every year? Really?
:lol How funny.
Oh. And I still HATE THIS GAME.
I was up 20-0 in the second quarter. I lost 45-26. Yes. I hate this game.
Wow do the stats ever lie in this game. I watched Dunn drop 3 passes and the end game stats says he didn't drop any. Dunn had 3, Crumpler had 2 and White had 2 but the stats only show Crumpler as having 1.

I think it only counts drops if the player specifically goes into a catch animation and then drops it. It doesn't seem to count when EA's stupid AI and/or animations screw up the catch, which happens 90% of the time.
If the game accurately recorded drops, Colston would be leading the league with 999.

That's kinda odd. Cause I ran Dunn on two screens where he turned and the ball just hit him in the face (I freakin HATE that) and that doesn't count as a drop?

GG. Favre had fun out there!AZ Greg said:
It's funny that if Favre throws a dainty little lob right at my guy, my guy will make the catching animation, but won't catch the ball. Doesn't matter that he's a pro bowler, shut down corner. THAT'S A FAVRE BALL!!!
My WRs are idiots, my secondary makes them look like MIT professors, and I accidentally put Daunte in at the beginning.
Btw- now I know what a shellshocked QB feels like. I played Wellie and he had like 40 sacks, then I play this game and I'm all pass shy. I feel ya, Trent! We's bros!
I'm not getting .500. I just don't feel it anymore. I feel like CB. :[
I won. I can't believe it. For the first time in 9 games I managed to got more INTs than I threw and I made the better passing decisions of the two teams. Am I back? Did I just get lucky? Tune in next week on Fifty's Horrible Season! At least should squash any rumors that I was tanking the season for a draft pick. We all give 100%!
You know it's my kind of ugly win when my QB has a 53.3 QB rating, and he's rated higher than his opponent. :lol
