Madden 12 Official CAG League - On official hiatus until Madden 13.

My schedule lightens up a bit as a I take a tour of the NFC East. Texans and Pats are the last two elite teams on my schedule.

[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']The Browns are making me think I should retire from Madden with this year's game.[/QUOTE]

Seahawks are making me feel the same way. My lack of secondary sucks. After 4 years of development (spent round 1 and 2 on CBs the first year) I'm finally back to where my old CBs (they regressed big time) in year one...and they were shit then too.
 
I've pretty much accepted the fact that odds are I won't make the playoffs this year. So I am just trying to have as much fun as possible playing the games, if my only goal was making the playoffs and or the Super Bowl, I probably wouldn't care for the league too much.

I like gaining familiarity with my opponents (division games are by far the most fun), and the discussions in the thread, and building a team. Winning sure as hell ain't everything in the league, and if it was, I doubt I would like it that much.

Not to say I like losing (see my last game), but there is a lot more to the league than winning.

Very different philosophy from mine. I care about the wins and growth of the team, but most importantly, it's all about the e-ring that I can display on my e-mantel. :lol:

But you're right, the league isn't just about winning.
 
The Browns are frustrating because as I build the offense up the defense seems to be aging and getting worse. Secondary is fine, but my front seven blows. Ask MasterAwesome. :)

I should have addressed it better, but then I'd still just be weak on offense. If anything though it has taught me what areas to focus on in Madden 13, because even though they suck I'll probably try again next year.

u abandoned the run yest u were averaging alot per run but mixing ot with the pass killed u wen i got a couple picks... u have a good team u struggle with stopping the run i do to.... only certain people are good with the dtackle as i saw u playing if i was u to stop sweeps and counters i would try to adjust to mlb or fs in this madden instead of quitting so next year u can increase ur performance as well... ive been playing with widow alot he used to play dline and hes switched over to fs and is doing pretty well... give it a shot
 
yea titans lost to colts in a close one that could have been a blowout either way....locker was bein an ass. make one great throw, then throw one right to his guy when my guys wide open. he coulda sealed it with a pick with little time left but cj2k stripped him and got it back. i scored to go up with one minute left, and he just made his play. heeved it to wayne, finnigan was waiting there for it, but he just didnt go up for it and it dropped in waynes hands. call it what u want titans lose back to back divisional games. and now i play both those teams again back to back.
 
[quote name='Yanksrule123']When are we advancing this week u think?[/QUOTE]

11:15 EST tonight is the plan.

Patriots escape by the skin of their teeth in Pittsburgh 24-21. Cobie Ross developed a serious case of butterfingers in this one and it very nearly cost the Pats the game.

I really should have taken that field goal at the end of the first half and not tried to take a shot at the endzone before kicking. That ended up being the difference.
 
New England Patriots 24 - Pittsburgh Steelers 21

The 6-0 Patriots came into Pittsburgh perhaps a bit too proud and swagger-filled, and were promptly served a slice of humble pie by the Steelers, who came very close to serving up the upset as well.

Things certainly started well for the Patriots when Asante Samuel picked off Big Ben on the first drive, which the Pats quickly converted into a McCoy pass to Gronk. The Steelers were undaunted though, and marched down the field in response, capped with a 1-yard score by Mendenhall.

The Patriots' next drive stalled after a strip sack of McCoy (Ross was able to scoop it up) and they settled for a Gostkowski field goal before Mike Wallace took the ensuing kickoff 101 yards to the house. The Patriots were marching for the go-ahead score when Cobie Ross was tackled on a long run by the last defender who also forced a fumble, which the Steelers recovered. The Steelers took the ball down the field by Big Ben was once again intercepted by Samuel, who this time took it back for 6. The Steelers very nearly scored to end the half, but with 9 seconds left in the Red Zone elected to run one more play, which Jerod Mayo intercepted. Ended up being a huge play in the game.

The Patriots were driving again to start the third, but Ross was stuffed on a key 3rd-and-1 and also coughed up another fumble, giving Pitt the ball. The Steelers converted with a great drive and a 1-yard run by Johnson.

Things looked dire in the 4th when McCoy threw a rare interception (which was also his only incompletion of the day). The Pats were able to keep the Steelers from running out the clock however, and after getting the ball back Cobie Ross atoned for his earlier fumbles by ripping off a 37-yard TD with 1:28 remaining. Terrance Carswell sacked Big Ben on the first play from scrimmage, and then Jermaine Cunningham picked him off to give the Patriots the ball. The Steelers still had all their timeouts, but after 2 unsuccessful runs by Green-Ellis leading to 3rd-and-14 Cobie Ross took a draw 14.5 yards to seal the game.

McCoy was 11 of 12 for 129 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. I can't give him too much crap for the turnover though, it was a dumb throw into double coverage.

Big Ben was 9 of 16 for 173 yards but he tallied 4 INTs.

Cobie Ross had a strong game statistically, carrying 20 times for 223 yards and a score. The fumbles really hurt, however I can give him a bit of a pass thanks to his two huge plays down the stretch.

Mendenhall carried 15 times for 60 yards and a TD, with FB David Johnson getting the other TD.

Demaryius Thomas was the leading receiver for the Pats with 6 catches for 77 yards. Gronk had 3 for 30 and the score.

Heath Miller had 78 yards and Antonio Brown had 74 for the Steelers, Wallace was held in check.

Terrance Carswell had 6 tackles (5 solo) and a key sack to continue his streak of having either a sack, INT or FF in every game of his rookie season. Samuel had the 2 picks, one for a score, and Mayo and Cunningham also had big interceptions.

The Steelers got fumbles from Woodley, Timmons (who was knocked out for 8 weeks with a broken collarbone) and Clark and a pick by Cortez Allen.

Awesome game pitfall! You gave me all I could handle, it really could have gone either way. Crazy game with all the turnovers, I'm just glad I was able to survive.

Pats match their franchise-best start at 7-0. They started 7-0 last season as well before falling to the Jets. They head into their bye in advance of a key matchup with the 5-1 Dolphins.
