i don't like this start by bob. he needs to be the underdog. if the fates catch wind of people actually considering to possibly show confidence in him winning, its all over for him. good day to you bob!

Gunstar can you play tommorrow night after Invasion? I'm thinking around 10PM central.
My game against Ando was pretty boring until the 4th quarter. That is when things started heating up. He drove down to my 7 yard line and had first and goal with 3 minutes remaining. My defense ending up holding him to a goal line stand at the 3 yard just as the two minute warning hit.
On my next offensive play Orton missed his handoff to Jones and I got sacked in the end zone. So I had to free kick to Ando. He got the ball back at his 45 after the kick and proceeding to score a TD to go ahead. He threw a nice pass between a couple of my defenders in zone to go up 8-7 with 42 seconds left. He missed the two point conversion.
I get the ensuing kickoff at my 5 and returned it 31 yards to my 36 with 35 seconds left and all my timeouts. On first down I went for a deep bomb but it my WR was double covered by his safety. Lucky I didn't get the ball picked off. On my next play I hit Clark up the middle to midfield and called a timeout. On the following play I hit Wade on a pass to the left and he got to the 33 and I called my second timeout. On my next play I took a gamble and decided I was going to run the ball up the middle to get as much yardage as I could and then call a timeout. Luckily this worked as I caught Ando in quarter defense and Jones ran the ball 14 yards to his 19 and I called my last timeout with 2 seconds left.
Thankfully there was 50 seconds on the playclock before I had to attempt to kick the fg because I needed about 30 to calm myself down! :lol At the buzzer I nailed that fg too wtih 98 power and 96 accurucy down the middle and the game was over! Crazy defensive game and now I get the luxary to get a rematch with the Eagles.

What a bullshit game.
For starters, the Bears defensive line is unstoppable. On 3 seperate occasions Plummer snapped the ball only to be immediatly sacked before he could even take 1 step back by the DT who someone got between 2 lineman untouched in an instant. I also got sacked atleast 2 other times by DB's on blitzes while my back just fucking sat there and watched the guy run right by him. My first drive I have a 37 yard FG lined up right down the middle, high 90's in power, 68 accuracy. More than enough accuracy to get it through from that short out but nope, missed and missed horribly. I've hit 45 yard FG's with less accuracy than that.
Thomas Jones can outrun DJ Williams and Al Wilson. Ok, fair enough I guess. He is a RB after all. But hey when Tatum Bell is going through a wide open hole at full speed, should have been long TD runs on two occasions but nope, some shitty LOLB chases him down. Not Urlacher, not Briggs. Some no name bastard chases down Tatum Bell. Yea right.
Last drive of the game. Both defenses had been playing extremely well. I guess Madden decided enough defense had already been played. First completion was a jump ball across the middle to the TE i double coverage. Caught. Then the 3rd WR on the depth chart catches a pass over the middle, again in double coverage. Then yea you caught me in quarter against your 3 WR set but I knew you were running, it was a heavy blitz and zone. Lynch waits an hour to run up and tackle you and game is over. It's shit that with superior WR's I can't get anyone open to save my life then on the last drive 2 crappy players are hit in double coverage and come away with two catches. Thanks for reminding me why I hate this game and rarely play outside of league opponents.

I wholeheartedly agree. Santana Moss can't get separation on a route with an average Bears CB, but Muhsin Muhammad (sp?) pulled away like a Lamborghini from Sean Taylor? Bullshit. I don't know what it is about passing in Madden, but leading your receiver deep and getting the AI to break away from the defender never happens for me, but for anyone else? EVERY FUCKING TIME. It's so bad that everyone in the league that plays me will throw deep immediately after I score a TD, and no matter what I call (zone, prevent, blitz, man, bump, whatever!) they make either a completion for a huge gain or a TD.
My defense never fell behind Bell. I play primarily cover 2 so I always had a safety deep. I forced you to run to the outside towards the sidelines once with my safety Harris. I actually posted my game stats. I hit you many times in the backfield with all out blitzes. I was ready for your run when I looked at your stats. I played against the run primarily on every first and second down. It wasn't until 3rd I concentrated on stopping your pass. You still put up decent running numbers. Were you expecting to put up 250 rush yards against me?
I got outside to the left twice with Bell and both times was chased down by a linebacker. Oh well, I'm used to it in this game. Champ Bailey turns into the slowest guy on Earth on kickoff returns. Yea you played good run defense but that line is still bullshit and if your LB's and safety can so easily keep up with Bell then my faster players should have no trouble keeping up with a slower Jones.
I had 94 yards rushing and you had 89 yards rushing. It is practically even what is your complaint?

You even had a better yards per carry average.
The stats are posted here if you want to go over them again. My no name linebackers didn't even show up. Only Briggs and Urlacher plus the mighty Mike Brown.

CONGRATS BOB! First Madden NFL 2006 Superbowl champ is CROWNED!
If I didn't win, I'd have wanted either Bob or Fifty, as my boys, to win. Glad one of you could do it!
Great season everyone, especially all the rookies who showed us vets something!
Great job Gunstar, only true champs like you FMT and Ror beat me in the season.
Congrats Bob, you played an excellent game. I can pretty much sum this game pretty easily, Redzone. Bob did great in the Redzone and I did very poor. Extra points to you for sticking with your team even when they aren't that great in Maddens ratings. Samething for CK, FMT, Matrix, and HG you guys are true to your teams.
