[quote name='bvharris']Really BigAT? Really?

Hey! My D played pretty well for a change! I contained and then injured Bradshaw. He actually was punished with a high ankle sprain on his one successful screen pass for a big gain. (Sorry!)
The game was a slug-fest for the first half and then the passing game opened up a bit for me. Keller was let loose and no one seemed to be able to stop him. He had 2 TDs and 100+ yards.
Two big moments in the game came when I was up 3 and on 3rd and goal I decided I need to go up by more than just 6 points with 2-3 minutes remaining. Of course, Sanchez throws a pick in the endzone. He prevented the pick six though and on the very next play David Harris picks it back. With some extra field to work with, the Jets took their time and once again found themselves in the redzone, this time with about 1:45 left. On 3rd and long the Jets decided they needed the first down to put this one away. Sanchez was sacked on the previous play so we needed 11-12 yards.
Mason (who I actually thought was Burress) caught a ball right at the marker, but was short by inches. I thought about going for it here. With 1:45 left what are 6 points worth? I was doing well in my pass D, but that's a lot of Madden time. After deciding I'd rather trust my D to keep BigAT out of the endzone rather than out of field goal range, and also realizing he had no time outs left, I booted it in from the 5-6 yard line on that 4th and inches.
It paid off and the Jets held on. BigAT had a nice little 2 minute drill, but it fell short when Stickland was able to pick Eli off in a one on one as his WR (not sure which) was streaking up the field. If I missed that pick the game would've been his. GG!
