Madden 12 Official CAG League - On official hiatus until Madden 13.
- Thread starter bvharris
- Start date
New England Patriots 20 - Houston Texans 14
The Texans traveled to Foxborough looking to clinch a 4th consecutive playoff berth, but will have to wait on the Broncos result after being denied by a Pats team playing without its two best offensive players.
The Patriots received the opening kickoff and promptly went 3-and-out. The Texans responded with a lengthy drive and a TD to Johnson. The Pats followed with another 3-and-out and things were looking grim.
The New England D held this time and the Pats finally began moving the ball. Facing 4th-and-4 on the Houston 47 the Patriots saw the Texans pull an extra guy back off the line and ran a fake, which Polite converted. They took it the rest of the way and scored on a McCoy pass to Roddy White. On the next Texans drive Jonny Kohlhausen picked off Harris and took the ball back to the house to give the Patriots a lead. Rahim Moore got a pick of his own on the next drive which the Pats converted for 3 as time expired to give themselves a 17-7 halftime lead.
The Texans moved closer to start the 3rd when Foster converted a 1-yard TD on 3rd-and-goal. Evan Smith came in for McCoy at that point and managed the offense well, though he didn't find the endzone.
The Patriots would add 3 with 1:54 left in the game, giving the Texans a chance to drive for the win. They moved the ball through the air down to the NE 24 with 52 seconds left, before Harris' 3rd-and-10 pass was intercepted by Mayo to seal the game.
Colt McCoy was 10 of 18 for 108 yards, 1 TD and 0 picks. This was probably his last regular season action.
Evan Smith was 5 of 6 got 49 yards in relief.
Clay Harris was 14 of 26 for 193 yards, 1 TD and 3 costly picks.
The Pats running game was completely ineffective without Ross in there, with Green-Ellis carrying 14 times for a measly 23 yards.
Arian Foster carried 6 times for 39 yards and a score.
Nick Schexnayder was the leading receiver for the Pats with 5 catches for 53 yards. Roddy White had 3 for 33 and the TD.
Arrelious Benn lead the Texans with 4 catches for 69 yards, while AJ had 4 for 51 and the score.
The Patriots got the 3 huge picks which were certainly the difference in the game.
The Texans managed 3 sacks, but failed to turn the Patriots over.
---
gg Ramesu! Perhaps we'll see each other again in the playoffs.
The Patriots move to 14-1, removing all chance of being Madden'd out of a first round bye. Most importantly, nobody got hurt (Rahim Moore went down briefly but is fine). It'll be mostly scrubs next week against the Falcons.

Haha, I do not wish that. Both times I've had a bye I won my first game, when I didn't I lost in the divisional round. With the number of good players in this league, that bye is precious.

Good point, I was assuming when BSETI asked this morning that you'd clinched based on conference record, but I forgot that he'd beaten you this season. You do need this win to clinch.

Big improvement over the current broadcast team. So tired of Collinsworth.
Now if EA would utilize the ESPN license....though that's asking too much of their dev team.
EDIT: Their marketing team always makes me chuckle. Blurring the line between virtual and reality! Revolutionize the way sports video game career modes are played! 2-1 odds EA ignores online franchise again. Any takers?

like i said in talks he said yest hed be in here and hasnt yet so well see... if hes not serious and committed to come back id rather not have peoples time wasted including mine trying to reach out to play his games
I just played the most ridiculous game with dptang0. He was constantly roughing the kicker on field goal attempts, he was asking me to let him get passing yardage, squib kicked it after he took the lead 7-0 to begin the game, and did the short onside kick or whatever (hit the B button) to open the 2nd half when he was only down by 7. He dove in the end zone sometime in the 3rd quarter. I came to play and this guy just gave it away, this was a critical game for the division, and all he wanted was to run up his stats. He kept running punt return defense with everyone blitzing towards the end of the 3rd quarter on or maybe sometime in the 4th quarter, I took advantage of this and ran to the outside. I honestly don't want to play anyone who is giving up cause there playoff chances are gone. He will probably say I was going along with it or something, but I was still playing he was just getting off some deep bombs, or taking advantage on some short throws. He messages me at the end saying "whatever thanks...smh".
Giants 62-Eagles 42
EDIT: He also squib kicked it about 5 times the entire game.

[quote name='Doomtime']Who asks for passing yardage? He seriously asked you to let him pass?[/QUOTE]
Yes he wanted to lead the league in passing yardage, which he did get a lot in our game going 31-61 or something for like 600 yards. But I wasn't trying to give it away. All he did was pass.

[quote name='Doomtime']BV and Fero will have to handle this one. I wouldn't be opposed to booting him, though I'm sure we'll go the strike route.
If I recall correctly, his playstyle was brought up in the JV thread recently.[/QUOTE]
He has had issues in the JV league. In fact, several people mentioned it to me when he joined the league (I won't say who, they're welcome to if they like).
He's certainly got a strike, because that kind of bullshit doesn't belong in this league.
dptang - If you do anything remotely like that again, you're done. If you don't want to get with the program and play by the conventions of the league, you shouldn't be in it. If you're unclear on exactly what would be considered unacceptable activities, see pretty much everything in Blade's post.

ya i had problems with him in the jv league. going for it 5 times on 4th down and i would say only 2 he could really justify saying was legit. but he went for it in the 1st quarter on his own 20 yard line 4th and 15. then complained i was running the score up because i was still passing the ball in the 2nd quarter. and expected me to try and start running out the clock in the 3rd quarter and then also complained because i had the lead in the 4th quarter with 4:51 left on the clock passed the pass ball and got a TD for 81 yards with a guy that only had 85 speed. so i would say that play was luck but third and long i would have to say is a passing situation no matter what unless it that last 2 mintues. so yes this guy i would expect to complain and make excuses and play dirty to the style of a ranked game. so i know for fact that what blade is saying is more than likely 100% true as i know for a fact that blade from playing him many times comes off quite honest.

Did Ron Artest join our league? This guy is a little screwy.
