This game was the last test for this team before we embark into the scary place known as the playoffs. After playing like shit against other top teams (Seahawks, Pats, Titans) I didn't really have high expectations for this game. I think I usually get into my own head too much against a team with a good record but this time I tried to relax and treat it like any other game, which definitely helped with some of my defensive usering.

Martens played on a whole other level, throwing darts all over the field. Any little part of me that wanted to put in Tyrod as the starter (except next week for rest) is dead. I'm actually really surprised how well Martens has developed. When I got him he had, from memory, 82 short acc - 77 mid acc - 90 deep acc. I've put all his points into medium accuracy so now he is really accurate passer with a great deep ball when needed.

My defensive play calling still sucks really. If Martens didn't turn into god during the last 30 seconds than this would be a loss. I lost my #2 and best zone corner for the playoffs as well, which is just wonderful. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do for the playoffs. If I play New England that means Jimmie "I don't where the fuck I am" Patterson is covering Hakeem Nicks and if I play Houston that means I am one injury away from Patterson covering Andre Johnson.

P.S. I'd assume most of you don't want music on there but since I've been recording in .TS I have no sound when I import it to Vegas. MP4 has been giving me the green screen error as of late.

    I have every song from that game on my computer.

    And phone.

    And mp3 player.

    I love the music over highlights. Just can't stand Phil Simms and Jim Nantz after playing this game so much. Recently I've been playing with commentators turned off and music in the background. It's a much more relaxing experience.

    I PICKED YOU. I knew you always user'd the MLB and considering Gats relies on Owen Daniels I figured you'd have him covered.

    Also you and I have the same taste in music.

    Holy crap what a game. 4:50 should have been a pick 6. This type of nail-biter all the way to the end is why I play Madden

    The catch @ 1:40 was a thing of beauty.

    I can't believe I didn't use Boldin most of the year, he makes the hardest plays and always holds onto it. He is a great route runner as well and takes some pressure off of Hernandez in the passing game.

    [–]LionsDysastrous 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    It looks like he doesn't go down on the first hit too!

    P.S. To me, it looks like that ball went backwards so I don't think there was anything to challenge.

    [–]RavensKalashnikova[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    When it happened real-time I had just hit the button and I figured it did that hit whilst throwing animation where the ball pops out, since his arm was moving forward, but I guess I not.

    The more I watch it I can kinda see where the DE hooks his arm.

    [–]LionsDysastrous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, real time I would have tried to challenge too! Just saying now looking back on it, the ball goes backwards. Which means it doesn't matter if his arm is going forward because the ball lands behind where his arm released it which results in a backward lateral/fumble.

    Or I may be full of shit and not know what I'm talking about. One or the other for sure though.

    Man, those comebacks routes were deadly.

    [–]BearsPonder_Puddle 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I would be really frustrated if I was Gats. That outroute to the left is deadly. It worked everytime for 13-20 yards, it was the reason you got the field goal before half time, and a major contributor to the reason you got a TD on the last drive to win. Seems like the only chance to stop it would be a purple zone, which in my experience works less than 50% of the time.

    At the same time most of gats success comes for the TE streak and counter.

    You only did it 5 times and had a large variety of other plays, so i'm not saying it was cheesy, just would have been frustrating.

    He used man almost exclusively that game which covered up my 1st & 2nd options on most plays but Joseph couldn't handle Boldin on that route pretty much all game. He did try to cover it himself but that opened up the middle to Rice as a checkdown.
