I hope so. I reeally hope you're playing right now.
 
We sent a couple meassages to each other and then he just stopped talking to me and I never heard from him. I would've loved to play more, but I had a lot of trouble getting games started with my opponents. Oh well, thanks for setting everything up with this game Azu.
 
Yeah, so what the duce is going on?

But its nice that I made it to the champ-and-chip match, congrats to me.

BigAT I am out of town and will be back on Wednesday and we can play anytime then or within the next couple days. Lets get this over with.

Soodmeg (Steelers) - 35
BigAT (Packers) - 21

Ryan Grant fumbled the first two times he touched the ball. The Steelers recovered both. I was angry the rest of the game.

Very gg, Sood. I could never really stop Parker enough to turn things around after those painful turnovers and a crucial dropped pass by Lee on 3rd down.
 
First and for most good game BigAT.

"Steel Have It"
​

And the Pittsburgh Steelers still have what it takes to win a Superbowl as they defeat the Greenbay Packers 35 to 21.

"I knew we could do it. I knew if our defense could dominate the way we have been all season we could pull it off," Bryant McFadden said after the game. McFadden INT return for a TD was one of three Steelers interception on the day, others included MLB James Farrior and DB Ike Taylor. The defense also caused 2 forced fumbles in a row on the Packers next 2 drives.

Big Ben was quoted saying, "I am glad we have them. They bail us out a lot when the offense cant get going." This was as true as the offense although effective missed key opportunity for points off turn overs. Big Ben ended the game with a 70.9 Passer Rating throwing for only 134 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 INT although he did rush for a TD on a QB sneak.

Running Back Willi Parker carried his weight in today's game by rushing for 87 yards and 2 touchdowns which included a 22 yard scamper on a draw play to find the end zone.

"It was less about me and more about the guys in the trenches," Parker said, "With the holes they were opening up I barely had to do anything but run straight."

The Steelers were not all smiles at the beginning as Big Ben threw an interception on the very first drive of the game then had to make a diving tackle at the 4 to prevent the TD, J. Nelson caught a 5 yard TD pass from Rodgers 2 plays later putting the Steelers in a hole early in the first.

Big Ben and the offense would respond by scoring on the next drive. Parker capped a 80 yard drive off with 22 yard TD run into the end zone tying the game and ending the first quarter. The Steelers defense dominated in the 2nd causing 2 straight forced fumbles on the Packers next 2 drives and shutting them out. Meanwhile the Steelers offense scored on a Big Ben QB sneak and a INT returned for a TD by McFadden.

Another early score by the Steelers in the 3rd with Parker punching in a 3 yard run puts the score at 28-7. But the Packers showed signs of like when Donald Drive made an amazing catch that when for a 32 yard touchdown making it a 2 possession game at 28-14.

But Pitt would score again to open the 4th after a 46 yard Play Action bomb to WR Santonio Holmes which was capped off by a 4 yard fade pass to Willi Parker in the back of the end zone. Packers would score one more time with 10 seconds left after yet another amazing catch from Drive which went for 37 yards and was capped off by a Rodger QB sneak into the end zone bring the final score to 35-21 and bringing an end to a incredibly long season.

Thanks Ivan.

So is the season official over now?

Anyone have any thoughts or comments on the whole thing? Kinda want to hear Azu opinion on the whole thing since he ran it. Overall I thought it was decent. There were so many slow downs though but the tourny seemed to go somewhat smoothly between most members.

I cant believe it took the entire NFL season to do this though. But again kudos to Azu for being the only league that survived.
 
Yep, its all over. Theres a 3rd place game, but it doesn't look like its getting played.

I'm kind of pissed off at all of the people that signed up and never even played. I realize some people got screwed over because all their opponents were assholes, but still.

I'll run something like this again if they copy what they did with NCAA09. Otherwise, I'm not dealing with a bunch of jack-asses again.

Everyone that was in this tourney was great though :D
 
Of course my good man. Children Of Men is not enough! Take 3 :)
Just as a reminder they're all R1 and used :D
PM me with your choices and address and everything!
 
For what it's worth, a double elimination tourney would normally have me facing off against the winner of the "3rd place match" and then the winner would face Sood again, but that's probably unrealistic considering how much it took just to get to this point.

Thanks to everyone that actually participated in this thing and especially to Azu for running this, sticking with it and seeing it through to some sort of conclusion.

I'm up always up for a game of Madden, if anyone ever feels like it feel free to hit me up on XBL. GT: BigAT4.
