LOL What's even worse is that Denver's 66 ovr QB Zac Dysert is the best QB in the league with 26td's and 6 ints and almost 3,00 yards passing in 10 games. Compare that to Aaron Rodgers with 2400 yards passing 6td and 11 int... oh Madden when will you ever learn...???...
Week 12: :San_Diego_Chargers: (6-4) @ :Oakland_Raiders: (8-2)
Welcome to US Thanksgiving! It's Thursday night football to boot. SD did Oaktown a huge favour last week by knocking off Denver. Can Oakland capitalize this week?
After a nice drive ends with an awful 49 yard shank by Oakland SD takes over. Rookie QB W. Dalton and the retooled Chargers look to be a challenge. However due to strong wind their drive ends short of a score.
Raiders begin at their 20. The drive goes into the 2nd quarter and ends with an 8 yard TD strike from McGloin to Moore. 7-0 Oakland early in the 2nd quarter. McGloin is 10-11 for 101 yards and 1 TD. He is looking good today!!!
On the next drive SD gets to the redzone but CB Brown makes the interception in the endzone. Raiders take over at their own 9. However, Brown suffered a herniated disk on the play and is out for the game.
After an awesome drive, McGloin hits Chaney for an 11 yard TD strike and with 50 seconds left Oakland is up 14-0. The Chargers respond by getting into Oakland territory but poor clock managment costs them points. The half ends 14-0 Oakland.
McGloin is on fire 19/23 174 yards and 2 TD's. Nice! Dalton is playing well too but the Int. was costly.
'
SD starts with the ball at thir own 20. They get across the 50 andf then CB Jenkins makes the big INT. Oakland starts at the SD 48. A handful of plays later Sturgis hits a 40 yard FG to move Oakland up 17-0.
SD ends up punting on their next possession. Oakland starts at their own 45. The drive extends into the 4th. The drive ends with a 1 yard TD rush from RB Stevenson. That makes it 24-0 Oakland with 9:43 remaining.
SD's next drive ends with a pic six by Raider CB Cox. That makes it 31-0 Oakland. 3 pics on the day for Dalton. Ouch! Adding injury to insult, Dalton is hurt on the next series... Backup Jay Cutler (man I love hearing that...) cannot move the ball and Oakland gets it back at the SD 48.
Locker and Stevenson move to starters. The drive stalls but on SD's next play MLB Donaldson gets a safety and it's 33-0 Oakland. This is followed by chew the clock and that's the game folks!
Final score... Oakland 33 San Diego 0
Dalton 15/21 193 yards 3 Int.
McGloin 24/29 218 yards 2 TD
Brown 9 carries 52 yards
Stevenson 12 carries 51 yards 1 TD
Allen 5 rec 80 yards
Chaney 11 rec 100 yards 1 TD
Butler 9 tackles
Branch 6 tackles
:Oakland_Raiders: are a completely different team with WR Randy Chaney in the lineup. Another monster game. McGloin just plays so much better when the #1 slot has #87 in silver and black.
Update: CB Tarell Brown suffered a ruptured disk and will be out for 9 weeks. Raiders management will most likely put him on IR and bring in some new talent.
:Baltimore_Ravens: shocked the :Denver_Broncos: this week with a 23-22 win. That means the Broncos fall to 8-3 and have now lost 2 straight. Oakland now sits alone atop the AFC WEST.
Today the Raiders announced the re-signing of two players...
MLB Sio Moore (5 years 20 million)
P Jeff Locke (5 years 12.5 million)
Nice win jaymo!
Week 13: :Oakland_Raiders: (9-2) @ :Kansas_City_Chiefs: (6-5)
The best road trip of the season brings Oaktown to KC. The Raider and the Chiefs recently battled it out. Will the Raiders make it 2 and 0?
Oakland has a great first drive going 11 plays and a TD strike from McGloin to Chaney to make it 7-0. However, KC runs wild down the field and Charles ties it up 7-7 with 3:28 left in the 1st.
McGloin gets picked on the next drive. Physics don't appy to madden hence a phenomenal spin through the air int. KC begins at their own 31.
Three plays later, Kalil Mack crushes Smith and he's out for the game. Raiders take over at their 20. The 2nd quarter begins and the pace has slowed greatly. Raiders pin KC to their own 5 and a few plays later CB Cox gets a pic six. 14-7 Oakland.
Raiders force a 3 and out and start at midfield. The drive ends with a 23 yard FG by Sturgis. That makes it 17-7 Oakland. The score holds at the half.
Oakland's run game is dead on arrival. McGloin has 156 pass yards but is only 12/21. O is a struggle today. Lucky for Oakland the Raider D showed up to play.
KC starts with a long drive and gets to the 12. However, backup QB Murray gets crushed and 3rd stringer rookie QB Gilbert comes into the game. KC hits a 26 yard FG. 17-10 Oakland.
Raiders punt again and KC starts at their own 35 with 4 minutes left in the 3rd. However, Branch picks off Gilbert and the Raiders get the ball back at the 50. The 3rd ends with Oakland on the move.
McGloin hits WR Bailey from about 22 yards out for a TD and that makes it 24-10 Oakland with 10:22 remaining. KC's next drive ends with a 43 yard FG to make it 24-13 Oakland with 6:59 left.
With 3:59 McGloin is picked again and KC has the ball at their own 38. With 1:49 left KC turns the all over on downs.
Ugly game for the Raiders but they get the win. Offense looked bad but KC had no pass offense today so that could not capitalize.
McGloin 25/41 271 yards 2 Td 2 Int.
Gilbert 8/13 77 1 int
MJD 13 rushes 33 yards

Week 14: :Indianapolis_Colts: (0-12) @ :Oakland_Raiders: (10-2)
This is one of those scary games for Oakland. An Indy team that is winless and a late season matchup against a vastly superior Raider team. Will Oaklans show up or take the week off?
Monday Night Football... let's get it on.
The Raiders start the game with... a punt. Not an inspired start. Indy has the #4 pass D and it showed. However, the Bradford led Colts go three and out so no damage done.
On the Raiders 2nd possession, anther punt. McGloin is now 1/5 for 10 yards. Drops, drops and more drops... On Indy's next drive... another punt. The 2nd quarter starts with another raider punt. The coach also pulled WR Lattimore from the 3rd slot and promotes Bailey. 3 drops in the game thus far... Lattimore didn't get it done.
On the Colts next drive CB Hayden intercepts Bradford. Raiders begin at the Indy 9. Two plays later MJD punches it in from the 3. 7-0 Raiders.
Indy ges 3 and out follwed by a 3 and out by the Raiders. Oakland now has 8 drops this game (sidenote... please Tiburon, please fix this type of crap!).
You won't see this coming but... Indy goes 3 and out. Raiders get the ball back. So... the Raiders then go three and out. Another two drops to report. That makes 10 in the first half. This is the type of crap that I just despise about Tiburon and Madden football!!!
The Greek tragedy continues as Indy goes three and out. Plus, Bradford gets injured. The half ends with the score 7-0. This is one of the worst games of Madden I have ever played.
McGloin 9/22 49 yards and 11 drops... typical Madden BS!
The 2nd hald starts with ... I kid you not... Charly Bradford in at QB for the injured Sam Bradford. Oh my... 3 plays later DT Devon Still gets a safety and it's 9-0 Raiders.
On the next Raider drive MJD goes over 1000 yards for the season. However, the Raiders drive ends in a punt. Smith has seen enough... he tells QB Jake Locker to warm up.
On the next Indy drive MLB Donaldson forces a fumble and Sio Moore recovers it at the Indy 13. The move to put in Lockers pays off as he hits Chaney for a 3 yard TD. He then hits Reece for a 2 point conversion. That makes it 17-0 Oakland with 5:12 left in the 3rd.
The Raiders go three and out as per usual and then the Colts drive the field before turning the ball over on downs with 7:23 left in the 4th. Lockers goes to work and five plays later, MJD punches it in from the two... that makes it 24-0 Raiders with 4:36 remaining.
Indy punts next drive and this one is pretty much over. Raiders win 24-0.
What adog this game was... ugly....
C. Bradford (62 over and on a cold streak 13/16 105 yards
McGloin 10/24 58 yards

Week 15: :Oakland_Raiders: (11-2) @ :San_Diego_Chargers: (8-5)
Oakland crushed the Chargers in week 12 with a 33-0 home win. Will the Raiders have the magic again today?
Raiders start at the 27. MJD gets hurt on the 2nd play. He has broken ribs and may be out for the season? Stevenson will run the rock today. Stevenson steps up and had 6 carries for 38 yards and a TD. 7-0 Raiders. The Raider D then forces a 3 ad out. Raiders start at their own 30.
The 1st ends with Oakland on the move. The Raiders get to the 3 but then McGloins throws an int. (the ball was invisible on replay???) It remains 7-0 Oakland. The Chargers have a short series and then the Raiders go 3 and out. However, DE Verson strips the QB and Woodley takes it in for a TD... 14-0 Oakland with 3:49 left in the half.
Chargers respond in Madden fashion with a quick TD. 14-7 Oakland. The half holds with that score. The LCGloin Int. really hurt as Oakland should have capitalized. This game is tight. Madden robo qb is 6/6 for 93 yards and a TD. McGloin is 11/18 114 yards.
What a break... SD fumbles on the kickoff and TE Kasa recovers at the SD 9. The Charger D is soooo fast. They bring the pressue and within 2 seconds McGloin is sackked. Sturgis hits a 3 from 20 to make the score 17-7 Oakland.
SD then goes 3 and out and Oakland starts at their own 42. McGloin is then picked off. He overthrew a 3 yard out by probably 10 yards... SD starts at the 50... and go backwards with a 3 and out.
Raiders start at their own 33. A handful of players later (and just after a huge 30 yard plus run from Stevenson) RB Sims punches it in from the 3. That makes it 24-7 Oakland with 4:28 left in the half.
Dalton gets hurt again and Jay Cutler takes the field. It is a major step down for SD. They punt again. Stevnson has had a great run game thus far. He eclipsed 100 yards on the last drive and keeps piling it on. The 3rd ends with the Raiders in SD territory.
Sturgis hits a 29 yards FG and that makes it 27-7. However, Cutler on his next play throws a 77 yard TD strike. 27-14 is the score with 8:20 remaining. Oh Madden how I hate thee. McGloin gets hurt on the next drive and then Locker throws a pic six. How do players move like that? Where are the damn physics and weight???... 27-21 Oakland.
McGloin is forced back into action. He drives down the field and then... throws a pic. However, the ball is fumbled and Oakland recovers. No they don't... a challenge... The ball is out before the runner is down and they play is reversed SD gets the ball back. Well, it's decided, Madden has made the choice that I will lose. According to script, Cutler goes 6 for 6 and on 4th and one hits a TD strike. 28-27 SD.
Oakland starts at their own 23. McGloin then has 4 straight passes knocked down. SD takes over at the Raider 20.
SD wins 31-27 as they hit an FG with 2 seconds left.. What an f&in joke! Madden decided that I would lose this game and so I did.
Think about this...
4 interceptions (only 2 were realistic)
a reverse challenge that was clearly wrong
9 dropped passes fro Oakland and zero for SD
Jay Cutler was 100% acurate 8/8 145 yards 1 TD
Wyatt Dalton 7/7 96 yards1 TD
SD had 32 yards rushing Oakland had 208
SD had 9 pass deflections Oakland had zero
SD scored 21 points in 8 plays in the last six minutes of play
For all that Madden does right... it is this crap that makes me question whether madden will ever be anything more than madden football. Could this happen in a real game? Maybe. The orblem is that it happends in Madden 1-2 times per season. Scripted losses... should not be a part of the game and that comback AI crap has to be removed. Man I am pissed right now!!!
Forgot to mention... Stevenson had one hell of a game.
28 carries 163 yards 1 TD 5.8 ypc
3 rec. 16 yards
Just looking at the stats Oakland had 10 sacks. However, In the last six minutes... no pressure and no sacks. Likely story right...?...
To add insult to injury...
MJD broken ribs.... gone 5 weeks
DJ Hayden... pulled groin... gone 4 weeks
T. Lattimore... broken ribs... gone 4 weeks
