Well, raffie and I played on Wednesday night. Annnd he got disconnected with 1:38 left in the 3rd qtr. I was up by only one TD and we had gone back and forth. Since that happened when SICK played Raffie, and Raffie finished vs the CPU I did the same thing. It was 70-28 when the Giants scored a touchdown as time expired 0:00. They went to kick the extra point and the damned screen froze. Game never unfroze. Never counted. So, I have mailed raffie to see when we could play again, but honestly it could be Saturday with my schedule. As a result, depending on what's at stake with the outcome I am okay with it getting simmed if Raffie agrees and everyone's dying to get to the playoffs. If Raffie winning or losing will affect anyone's playoffs (homefield advantage etc) then I am more than glad to wait til Saturday and replay it to see who wins. SICK, let me know what suits you, bro. I'm just sad I lost my stats for player progression reasons. :P
Lol. Sad thing is.... Peterson fumble. Heap reception... Flacco deep arm.... Favre INT to lose game.... Of COURSE I should have expected those!!! lol. Weird but true.
So let me get this straight... you need D-line, linebackers and secondary, but otherwise your defense is set?
i have a bye week but honestly.....i dunno what your record is, but the only thing your game would effect is your 2 records....i think me and raffie have the top 2 seeds locked up. it may just give you a home game in the first playoff game. and a better seed means you play the #2 seed in the playoffs, compared to maybe having to travel to charlotte to play me so let me know what you wanna do. has everyone else played already? what times are you available during the rest of the week......raffie you as well......just let me know your thoughts guys....ill do whatever helps the league out
haha yea I guess so. But after looking over my lineup again it seems my cb's aren't as bad as I thought. While they are rated in the 70's they are rookie's with the potential to be B's. So maybe i can get by with them. That does bring up the point though, how does progression work in this game. Do they automatically get better or worse after the season is over?
It is at the start of the next season. I do not know how well they show it online. The old madden had this neat little feature where at the beginning of the season the users where shown an option in the roster screens called, "Progression". From that screen you can look at the progression of all your players and see who progressed the most and least. For some reason this has been cut for not being useful or too hard to program.
I know this Online Franchise is BETA...but it would be nice if you could download the end of season NFL ratings to the franchise. One one hand I realize each online franchise is made up of its own personnel which doesnt match the real NFL franchise...but if the individual players could get their accurate NFL Madden updated ratings that would be really cool. I am just sitting back waiting for the start of the offseason to see who retires, hire new Staff, then work on resigning players and cutting players to advance to FA....once that is done, its all draft prep baby...(cause right now I dont know who the DRAFTABLE Players are even..hahahaa)....and thinking about trades prior to, or on draft day.....then more FA or Trades prior to the new pre-season starting.
I was gonna save highlights but then the PS3 froze up before the final second ticked off. I think if time expires, though, and then the PS3 disconnects while you are saving highlights that your results still count. I think that happened to me once and the result still showed on the ea server, so I think we're all safe to save highlights after our game finishes and before we quit to the franchise menu.

So... I see the playoffs have arrived!!! And I face Atlanta in the first round! My friend has Atlanta. he and I were just joking last month about "What if we actually had t play each other in the playoffs!" Hilarious. Now the REAL fun starts.
yes. me and you have bye weeks.......and a home game in the divisional round......you play the highest seed to move on from this week, i play the lowest seed.
Nah, he wisely switched to DA BEARS...much better rebuilding E-GM team to have fun with. Snow Games @ Soldiers Field will be fun for him.
plus there are already 2 humans in the nfc south (me, and the falcons) so it'd be good to split it up some
Dont know if it is....AFCE is unanimously off limits......and its just a question of what other teams would be fun to rebuild and run....but CIN, DEN, OAK would be hoots... I picked CLE, and you have BAL, Starry picked JAC, Parket KC...but NFC had lots of hurting teams it seems as folks came on late...so all in all....its shaping up nicely. 12 Owners, 4 AFC teams (out of 12 AFC really) isnt bad. 8 NFC Teams out of 16 total.
That also puts three human players in one division, though. Me - Vikes Him - Bears Some other dude (I forget who) - Lions Now we just need someone to take the Packers and the division will be a bloodbath.
Here was my thinking on teams: NO: Obvious benefits, they're built a lot like a team I'd like to run. I'm a big fan of the X-factor players in Madden and RB is second to none. Also have a buddy who's a HUGE Saints fan who is running a phins franchise in another league..thought it'd be nice to return the favor. Vikes; Would have been my #1 but they were taken. Lived in MN and am very aware of their personnel. If the owner wants to deal Harvin I'm receptive Bears: Another local team that I'm familiar with. I've been to a few games at Soldier field and may end up in Chicago permanently at some point. Great cornerstone players and it'll be a blast building them back up. I too waivered at the players in the division but figure it'll be a blast. A lot of character to this team...I'm glad I got them and am anxious to build them up. This really kind of makes more sense for me. 49ers: Another team that was high on my list...would LOVE to have played as Willis. Not really interested in DEN or WAS. I like young teams. Love Payton but I'd like to build a player up rather than just hoping on the shoulders of a legend.
DANGER: AFC South is Jaguar territory now. Had a little cold lately so haven't played much, I'm sure with a Chargers win today I'll be feeling better. And I as I say that.. don't yell touchdown with a sore throat, ouch. Good luck to you guys in the playoffs, hope you have some good games.
January 17, 2010 10:53 p.m. EST Minneapolis (Reuters) The Vikings hosted the Falcons, a surprise playoff team, at the Metrodome today. The capacity crowd was raucous with excitement to get the post season kicked off. After winning the coin toss and choosing to receive the ball the Vikings began the game well, taking over five minutes of the clock as they drove to the Falcons five yard line. Adrian Peterson asserted his rushing dominance. Play after play Peterson gashed, smashed and outran the Falcons as he carried the ball and the Vikings down the field. http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/15927139 On the doorstep of a touchdown, however, the Vikings were stymied on an ill-advised fourth-down attempt. Refusing to settle for field goals would become a mantra for the Vikings on this day, and it would cost them. The first quarter ended scoreless. On the following drive, the Falcons marched down the field on the strength of Michael Turner's legs. Michael Turner's first touchdown of the day put the Falcons up 7-0 against the boys in purple. Peterson again put the team on his back an galloped the length of the football field, with the help of Percy Harvin's 24 yard TD pass to finish off the drive and bring the Vikings back level. Or so one would have expected. In another coaching move which shows Coach Price either has no fear for his job security, or no regard for it, he opted for a two-point conversion.This was the first of many questionable coaching decisions by Coach Price, Peterson was halted at the one-yard line and things looked grim until he vaulted himself over the grasping fingers of the Falcons' defensive linemen on his second effort. Peterson was in Future-Hall-of-Fame form early on and Coach Prices roll of the dice had paid off. 8-7 Vikings. The game was becoming like a heavyweight bout. A scoring slugfest that was just getting started. On the ensuing kick off, new Falcons kick returner Harry Douglas drove deep into Vikings territory with a 71 yard return that set the Falcons up with great field position, despite them being down 8-7 at the time. The Falcons drove quickly to the redzone, but Kevin and Pat Williams stuffed the Falcons rushing attack at the goalline and the Falcons settled for a field goal and a 10-8 lead. On the ensuing kickoff Percy Harvin showed everyone why he was drafted in the first round. Exploding around the left side of the kick coverage Harvin bolted 104 yards for a Kick Return Touchdown (his second one, later in the day, would be negated by a holding penalty). http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/15927128 15-10 Vikings back on top. Matt Ryan and Michael Turner went back to work, churning out yards as the Vikings defense was pushed back to it's own goalline yet again. The Falcons capped the drive with a 10-yard Matt Ryan to Ovie Mughelli touchdown pass off a playaction fake. Turner's legs were still paying dividends, with some trickey faking the Vikings linebackers biting hard on playaction as the Falcons fullback jogged untouched into the endzone. Falcons 17 - Vikings 15. After the touchdown, the Falcons elected to squib kick to the special teams blockers rather than kick deep to Percy Harvin. As a result, Jim Kleinsasser, the tight end, brought the ball to the Falcons 48 yard line to begin the final drive of the first half. With fifteen seconds remaining in the half Favre hit Bernard Berrian, then Warrick Dunn quickly to move the Vikes to the 10 yard line ( a spot where they had come up empty on the opening drive of the game). With only 5 seconds left in the half and no time-outs, Coach Price tried to send in the Field Goal unit. Favre went rogue and waved them off, lining up the offense for another snap and not leaving enough time to do anything but go along with the loose-cannon QB. The ball was hiked and Favre immediately spun to the right, hitting Harvin, one of his favorite new weapons. Harvin, however, bobbled the ball as he ran towards the sideline, finally securing it with only a three seconds left. Coach Price exhorted Harvin to step out of bounds as two Falcons' defenders drew a bead on Harvin, closing in on him from the goalline. Champion thoroughbreds are born to run, however, and there was no way Harvin wouldn't try to make it into an endzone only ten yards away. Trying to juke the first defender Harvin was brought down at the five, arm outstretched just short of the goalline as time expired. The missed opportunity at three points on a sure field goal would follow the Vikings into the halftime lockerroom and haunt them late in the game. Halftime: Falcons 17 - Vikings 15. The Falcons received the ball to begin the second half, up 17-15. Whatever Coach Price said at halftime worked, as the Vikings started the half with a fired up defense (although it didn't last, unfortunately). The defense came up with a critical stop, getting the ball back. But the Vikings could do nothing with the ball, unable to move it after giving up a sack to blitzing free safety Thomas DeCoud. On third down Bernard Berrian, three steps behind the entire Falcons defense, dropped a sure touchdown that hit him in the hands on a 50 yard bomb from Favre. In short order the Vikings had to punt and the Falcons once again had the ball, driving for another Michael Turner touchdown and a 24-15 Falcons' lead. With the game beginning to get away from them, the Vikings displayed a cool they didn't show during the regular season, when they became known for late-game meltdowns. With only three minutes left in the third quarter, and trailing by 9 points against an inspired Falcons-squad, Favre drove a lance through the air to Bernard Berrian, who hauled in the jump ball between two defenders at the one-yard line before being wrestled to the ground. One play later Adrian Peterson put the punctuation point on the drive with a touchdown that would pull the Vikings back within two points. Falcons 24 - Vikings 22. http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/15927222 The Vikings entered the fourth and final quarter trailing by two. That's when the defense really stepped up. With the Falcons at midfield, trying to establish a two-score lead, the Vikings defensive co-ordinator dialled up a special blitz package the players had worked on all week. The Vikings have kept their blitzes under wraps, but this was the moment to unveil it. The Defensive Co-ordinator sent the call into the mike linebacker. E.J Henderson grinned as he relayed the signal to his teammates. The ball was snapped, Matt Ryan took a three step drop and met a circle of purple. In the only big mistake of the day by either team, Ryan blindly fired the ball over the blitzers and straight into the waiting hands of Chad Greenway who secured the interception before going quickly to the ground. The jubilant Vikings quickly went to work. The matriculated their way down the field. The Falcons defense keyed on the unstoppable Peterson, trying to take him out of the gameplan. With the Vikings inside the Falcons' ten yard line, and trying to retake the lead, it was the Vikings turn for some trickeration. With the Falcons front seven selling out with run blitzes, Coach Price called for a screen pass to Peterson. The Falcon's defense was completely fooled, and Peterson glided into the endzone untouched for a 28-24 Vikings lead, not counting the extra point. The extra point that never came, as Coach Price again called for a two-point conversion. This time the Vikings' luck failed and they came away with only a 28-24 lead as time waned in the fourth quarter. As they had done all game, the Falcons immediately drove the length of the field and punched the ball into the Vikings endzone. Receiver Brian Finneran beat Antoine Winfield on a fade route to pull the Falcons back ahead. The Vikings' worries were compounded by the successful two point conversion to Roddy White in the back of the endzone. Less than five minutes remained and one of these teams was going to be watching the rest of the playoffs from home. Score: Falcons 32 - Vikings 28. Trailing by four with three minutes to play a field goal would not be enough to bring the Vikings back. It was just as well, since Vikes' kicker Ryan Longwell hadn't attempted a single field goal all game, save for chipshot extra points (and even those were scarce with the number of two-point attempts tried by this coaching staff). Knowing they needed a touchdown, Favre and Peterson attempted to put the team on their shoulders once again. They would need to drive the length of the field and score a touchdown, but try not to leave enough time on the clock for the red hot Atlanta offense to reply. This is when Favre handed Adrian Peterson the ball on a wide play and Peterson, hit behind the line, stayed down. A nervous titter passed through the crowd as trainers ran onto the field and helped a limping Peterson to the sideline. The Vikings would be denied their most potent weapon on their most important drive, as Peterson never returned, having a mild ACL sprain. The Vikings would have to overcome the four-point deficit without him. 3:02 left in the game. In his place teammates stepped up. The drive began well, but bogged down at midfield, requiring a heroic 3rd and 10 catch over the very crowded middle of the field by Tight End Visanthe Shiancoe. Shiancoe's key catch kept the drive alive for the time being. 2:15 left in the game. Next it was Warrick Dunn's turn, as he wound his way for 8 yards on a key third down run up the gut of the tiring Falcon's defense. 1:37 left. But Dunn is the third down back, and the starter's duties fell to Antone Smith, a player who, a month ago, was jobless. A free agent off the street would have to replace AP. It didn't look promising, as the rushing attack stalled, and passes began falling incomplete as the Falcons laid back in a zone coverage. This is when Percy Harvin, by far this team's most elusive player, managed to find a seam between two linebackers to make a 21-yard reception before being hit by four defenders. On a day when the Falcons defenders were ferocious in their hitting, Harvin, like his teammates, somehow hung onto the ball. 0:58 At the 15 yard line with under a minute left, Coach Price decided to take a gamble. With the Vikes Pro-Bowl runningback on the sidelines, the Falcons had all but stopped the run blitzing that had rained down on the line-of-scrimmage for the first three quarters. They were content to sit back and dare Favre to throw the ball into tight windows and disguised coverages, knowing the third string scrub in the backfield posed little threat. Or did he? The call came into Favre's earpiece from the Offensive Coordinator. "Are you sure?" Favre checked, waving a hand signal at the Vikings sideline. Coach Price and the OC nodded emphatically: "Hurry up! Clock's running!" And so it was that down by four, with :58 seconds remaining in a playoff game that Smith, on his couch a month ago, got the ball on a HB Inside run. Favre hiked the ball, and as he turned to hand it to Smith there was already a problem: the Falcons had blitzed up the middle. The ball hit Smiths gut and he hit the burners, his team depending on him. Breaking the run outside he turned on the jets and got outside the tackles. That's when he saw his lane. Would it be enough? He broke for the goalline and dug hard. He needed to make it to that goalline or the Vikings hopes were finished. The defensive backs, expecting a quick pass or a sack were slow to react. http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/15927206 In that extra second Smith split them and barreled over the goalline, putting his team on top 35-32 with under a minute left. Even Peterson whooped from the sideline before wincing and sitting back onto the players bench. Finally, Coach Price elected to kick the extra point. Score: Vikings 35 - Falcons 32. Time left: :51 seconds. But the sweet moment of victory was quickly erased. Matt Ryan, operating with all three time outs, led his team down the field efficiently, as the Vikings lay back in a deep coverage, eschewing the blitz in a costly strategic error. A key 35 yard completion to Roddy White put the Falcons into field goal range with 21 seconds left. While the Vikings defense didn't allow the march to proceed any deeper into home territory, the damage was done. Jason Elam booted the game tying field goal. Elation turned to deflation on the Vikings sidelines. There would be overtime. The first of these playoffs. Score: Vikings 35 - Falcons 35. With the scored knotted at 35 apiece, the teams headed into overtime. The Vikings won the coin toss and elected to receive, to the crowd's applause. The overtime period almost ended as soon as it started when the ever-dangerous Percy Harvin returned the kickoff for what looked to be his second return touchdown of the game. Harvin's touchdown was negated by a holding penaty away from the play that commentators in the booth called 'ticky-tack', and on which Harvin himself declined to comment for fear of being fined by the league. So the Vikings offense took the field at their own nine yard line to begin overtime. The Vikings attempted to re-establish their running game, keeping the ball safely out of the air. Soon into their overtime drive, however, the Falcons strangled the Vikings rushing attack. The drive stalled and Favre faced 4th down with 5 yards to go from the own 20 yard line. Should the Vikings punt the ball and trust to their defense? With the Falcons Offense having moved the ball well all day, Coach Price chose to trust his offense despite being on their own 20 yard line in overtime. Antone Smith received a toss-left, hoping to use his speed to out-pace the Falcons Linebackers. Seeing a lane inside, however, Smith burst upfield towards the marker, getting hit as he arrived at it. Would the Vikings give the ball to the Falcons at their own 20 yard line, and succumb to almost certain defeat? Smith barrelled into the defender... http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/15927068 The impact was tremendous, but Antone knew he had to keep his legs moving, like runningbacks coach Bienemy had told him. On grit and second effort Smith gained the first down by a half-yard. The Vikings had dodged another bullet in this epic battle and continued their drive. Next came Visanthe Shiancoe, plucking another ball from the air, bringing the Vikings to midfield. Coach Price continued his slow and steady playcalling, not taking too many chances, yet staying aggressive. Would the Vikings mistakes cost them again? This was the question when the Vikings faced a third down on the Falcons 38 yard line. Longwell, the Vikings kicker, had attempted no field goals all day. His leg was cold, and his range in pre-game warm-ups was a long of 54 if he got all of his leg into it. This was at the outside edge of his range. There would be no field goal attempts, if Favre could help it. John Sullivan hiked the ball into Favres open palms. Favre dropped back. The Falcons, in an effort to prevent the Vikings from trying to move the ball up the middle for a shorter field goal attempt, had jammed the middle of the field. Out in the open, to his left, however, ran street free agent Antone Smith. Favre didn't think twice about trusting the young man who had dropped two balls already that day. He fired the ball out to his left smartly. It whapped into Smith's hands and he turned upfield. A Falcon defender with a bead on him attempted to level him as he reached the first-down marker. Smith spun and when the world stopped spinning, all he saw was green astroturf in front of him. He took off for the goalline. The stadium erupted in a frenzy. Like a purple rocket he raced across the goalline. VIKINGS TOUCHDOWN! VIKINGS WIN! Final Score: Vikings 41 - Falcons 35. Smith, the unlikely hero, was mobbed by teammates in the endzone. In the jubilation of the moment, he pointed up into the upper deck; the closest tickets this third string running back had been able to get for his wife and little girl. He pointed up towards the undulating sea of purple and gold and shouted in ecstasy, squinting as he tried to make them out in the far-off crowd. Favre arrived and clamped Smith in a bearhug, with the entire scrum moving towards the middle of the field. Antone Smith had carried the ball across the goalline, and the hopes of a city into the second round of the playoffs. Next week the Vikings meet the Giants in New York, a rematch from week 17 of the season when the Giants edged the Vikings 14-13. A game both sides say seems like it never happened. The game will be shown on CBS and affiliates.Ruben Studdard will be singing the national anthem.
Don't cry too much, Raffie... this means you and I are on for a showdown next week! lol!!! Anyways, it was an EPIC friggin' game. Greatest league game I have ever been involved in. God bless Antone Smith.

Spirits Are Good in Jacksonville There's a lot of excitement and optimism going around in Jacksonville this week as the Wildcard round of the playoffs start. No, the Jaguars won't be playing in the tournament this year but that hasn't dampened the excitement of the fans or players. The cause for this positive attitude stems from a key coaching change made during Week 13. Starry was handed the reigns of head coach and took over a 4-7 team that had just came off a loss to the 49ers. Starry got his chance to make a good first impression when one of their AFC South Rivals and eventual AFC Wildcard, the Houston Texans, came into town for a Week 14 match up. Jacksonville was able to hold Houston to fourteen points and came away with the win, with the final result being 22-14. The following week some of the hopeful fan expectations came crashing back down to reality when the Miami Dolphins came into town and came away with a 31-28 victory. Though it was a close fought game Jacksonville was simply unable to stop Chad Pennington, who went 19 of 23 for 262 yards and 2 touchdowns. The theme of quarterbacks having great days against his defense would be one of the few low points in Starry's five game debut. The next two weeks Jacksonville got back to business and came away with wins against two perennial contenders in the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots. This gave the new head coach a record of 3-1 going into the last game of the season against the Cleveland Browns. A Cleveland team, that like Jacksonville, had gotten off to a rocky start and brought in a new coach to get things headed in the right direction. Coach BigDogs was brought in and immediately made his presence felt as he made multiple personnel decisions and gave a previous win less Browns team three wins. Both teams playoff aspirations had long been grounded, but both teams and coaches wanted to finish strong and head into the off season on a good note. For coach Starry the chance to right the ship as they say and have the Jags finish the season at .500 was very appealing. Though media would say both teams were "playing for nothing", in both locker rooms they most certainly were playing for something. Both teams fought hard but on the final game of the year Maurice Jones-Drew proved to be too much as he had an awe-inspiring day. Jones-Drew carried the ball 21 times for 297 yards and found his way to the end zone five times, also having one reception for 10 yards. Not surprisingly, the Jaguars passing game was absent, with quarterback David Garrad only completing three passes on six attempts. MJD was not the only running back to have a good game though as Cleveland's Jerome Harrison gained 182 yards on 25 attempts. The win brought Starry's record as Jaguars head coach to 4-1 and brought a lot of hope for the future in Jacksonville. After the game the coach answered questions about the Browns game and next season. "Coach what are your thoughts about today's game, the positives and negatives?" First off I'd like to say BigDogs is a good coach and his team will be tough for years to come. Cleveland will have an extra bounce in their step this off season, that's for sure. As far as today's game the positive thing was we won, that's what we went out there to do. I'm happy that we were able to play the style of ball that we want to, and that's obviously a lot of running with a little bit of more running. Maurice had an amazing game and he's going play a crucial role in the future success of this team. The negatives are pretty easy to find. Attempting six passes a game in this league won't get the job done week in and week out, we have to improve there. We also gave up a lot of rushing yards ourselves. We were fortunate to come away with a few turnovers, but they were able to move the ball on us pretty well. "Looking to the draft, are there any players you're leaning to?" Coming late onto this team I haven't had time to really evaluate our entire roster and all the positions. That's something my staff and me will be working on to prepare for the upcoming draft. There are a lot of good players coming out and we're confident we'll be able to pick the right guys to help improve this team for next season. "Are there any truth to the rumors that Torry Holt might be traded?" Torry has been a great player in this league and helped us out a lot. All positions and players will be evaluated and we'll do what's in the best interest of the Jacksonville Jaguars. "Coach you wanna make any predictions about next year?" (after a slight chuckle) No predictions except that we're going work hard this off season to improve, watching the playoffs just isn't all that fun. That's going mean releasing some guys, signing some free agents, maybe doing some trades, and having a strong draft. Then from there everything starts in your division, we have to take care of our business in the AFC South before anything else. The AFC South produced the most wins in the AFC this year and all the teams are tough, it's going be a real fight next season but it's one we look forward to having. heh I apologize for the length but I got bored and been wanting to do a recap type thing.
Ravens are chomping at the bit for the Superbowl Other than one loss on their record and one other close game that should have been a loss the Ravens have dominated their competition. Today we have scored an interview with Coach Dolfandupree How do you feel about your dominating season? I feel pretty OK about it. Only two teams brought some competition, the others might as well not have showed up. What made you make the decision to take an obvious running team and turn it into the best passing team in the league? Well the thing about running, it is good and all, however running takes longer to score points. Football is about scoring points. We want to score a lot of points. We have scored a lot of points in the quickest amount of time. I looked at the roster and it is obvious with the line, quarterback, runningbacks and defense that having a ball controlled offense was the best course of action. Instead, I said, "#$#$ it". Even though we do not have a great receiver and have just a decent quarterback we are going to throw the ball. Look at the results. Flacco missed two games and still had over 5700 yards passing and over 50 touchdowns. Next year we are hoping for healthy and 6000. What would you say to your critics that say you run up the score? I would tell them they are *******. It is the other teams job to stop me from scoring. Even if I am up by 50 points with less than a minute on the clock. And honestly running the time off the clock is as boring. It is literally as much fun as watching a clock run down. That is when my ADD kicks in and I tell the quarterback to score on their asses. Entertain the crowd. Set up the defense to score another touchdown. What about the game with the Lions? I decided to give the whole running the clock thing against the Lions. We could have scored at least 20 to 30 more points on that team. Plus Flacco was getting irritated by the fact that he was close to Kurt Warner in the league lead for interceptions. The last game against the Steelers brought that on. 6 interception throwing mother #$#$, however I digress. That was like fingers on a chalkboard man. So boring. I believe that is what they did to torture during the Spanish Inquisition. Who are you looking forward to play in the playoffs? No one. Honestly once the Chargers crapped out all of the competition is gone. Look at the next best team, the Steelers? They did improve last game we played them. From getting blown out and shut out to just being blown out. And that is with 6 interceptions by Flacco. If we do not make it to the superbowl, I will be very disappointed. Speaking of superbowl who do you want to face? The NFC is stacked with good teams. First there was the Vikings. That was a game I still cannot believe we won. Man the coach must be still kicking himself over that one. And they call me crazy for forcing the ball to Mark Clayton to try to break Jerry Rice's record. The Giants are super scary. The only team to keep up with the Ravens in point scoring and they did it with running. That doesn't even make sense. How can you score by running the ball? I don't know. That is why we pass, pass, pass. Then there is the Panthers. Great running team as well. Do they even throw it short? Even the Cardinals are a force. Even though if that is the superbowl the over/under on total interceptions for both teams will be 12. They all have studs to feed. If I feel our team has a weakness is lack of studs on offense. Sure Clayton has made some good plays. Still he isn't a guy we can force the ball to. Hell it surprises the hell out of me half of the plays he makes. One of them it was like the ball went right through the defender. Right through him. That is even what the tape threw. If I didn't understand physics I would believe that is what happened. Maybe it was one of those crazy New Age quantum physics moments. What is the secret to beating the Ravens? Honestly, look at our schedule. The secret to beating the Ravens is to keep them under 30 points. Only one team did it and we only lost to one team. Still had a chance to win that game. If Flacco only ran the ball in. We are a tough team. We will give anyone a fight. Thanks for the interview and good luck in the playoffs Thank ya. You will not be disappointed. You are looking at the next superbowl champions here. There you have it folks. Our interview with Coach Dolfandupree. Some people call him a crazy genius, others call him crazy and few others call him an ***hole.
