No More Brady - A Ryan Mallett Patriots Story (Madden 13)

[JaymeeAwesome]

2012 - Week #15

A Big-Time Problem - Cowboys officials may be keeping a cool head in public, but in private they must be freaking out after getting the news that DeMarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff are out for the year.

The Worst Kind of News - CB Nnamdi Asomugha is a fan favorite and one of the best in the NFL, so it's bad news for fans that he's now out for the year.

Gone in the Short Term - The Panthers want to get one more look at DeAngelo Williams, but team officials believe he will only be out for a couple of weeks.

Taking Care of Home Field - Fans in New England should have nothing to complain about as their boys routed the 49ers this week.

@mortreportEA - As the season winds down, J. Garrett knows he has disappointed with a team that expects to win every year.

@mortreportEA - J. Schwartz knows fans expected better, fair or not. He'll need to look for a positive way to end things.

@MarkSchlerethEA - Coaches with bad records just face more and mroe media pressure as the weeks progress. #Cardinals #hotseat

@MikeHillEA - This is a football-crazed country, so you can't expect the masses to be patient. #hotseat #Browns

@RossTuckerEA - Sub-.500 years are going to get you in trouble in the NFL, regardless of the year. #hotseat #Rams

@SkipBaylessEA - J. Philbin needs to end this year on a high note. Fans will not be very forgiving of this type of year.

@SkipBaylessEA - Does anybody really think Tom Coughlin shouldn't be criticized for the year he's had to this point?

@RoFloEA - Clearly Darrius Heyward-Bey is having a very good season.

@SkipBaylessEA - Running backs may be less important now, but you can't tell me DeMarco Murray getting 1,000 yards is a bad thing.

@WingozEA - 1,000 yards for Trent Richardson, and would you really be surprised if he just keeps on trucking?

@RoFloEA - Spoke with Willis McGahee, and he feels 1,000 yards is the bare minimum he should get each year.

@MarkSchlerethEA - Anquan Boldin has been on the same page all year long with his quarterback. #keepthrowing

@SkipBaylessEA - You just get a sense that the offensive chemistry is better with Greg Jennings on the field.

@MarkSchlerethEA - It's not a coincidence the Bears have done this on the ground. Great blocking, great talent.

@RossTuckerEA - Been fun watching a perfectly balanced running system in Chicago this year.

@SkipBaylessEA - Nothing better than seeing a rushing attack that just dominates the game. Passing isn't the only option!

@WingozEA - The Bears have had a ridiculous year on the ground, racking up 2,000 yards of rushing offense.

@MattMillerEA - Easy enough to say the Saints have been effective turning teams over this year.

@WingozEA - So, uh, good hustle out there Patriots...

@SkipBaylessEA - If DeAngelo Williams was out all year I'd say the Panthers were in more trouble, but that's not the case it seems.

@AdamSchefter - Team doctors for the Eagles have said the injury to Nnamdi Asomugha will end his year.

@SkipBaylessEA - If you're the Cowboys right now, there's no positive spin to put on this injury to DeMarcus Ware.

@mortreportEA - Per sources, ROLB DeMarcus Ware is lost for the rest of the year. #IR

@mortreportEA - Out for the year: DT Jay Ratliff put on injured reserve by the #Cowboys

@SCollinsEA - Matt Forte was a whiz kid in week 15. #NFCPoW

@mortreportEA - This week ends with Willis McGahee atop the #AFC. #PoW

@RoFloEA - Using the term 'man possessed' sums up the play of O'Brien Schofield this week. #NFCPoW

@RossTuckerEA - Brian Cushing was the defense this week for the Texans. #AFCPoW

Playoffs are getting closer
Stevan Ridley Leads Patriots to a win
PATRIOTS 17 - Jaguars 13

Jacksonville, FL - The Tale of Two Halves. First half the Patriots were unstoppable and kept the Jaguars at bay. The second half included multiple interceptions thrown by Mallett. I'm surprised the Patriots won.

Stevan Ridley and Devin McCourty are the only two highlights from the game. Ridley tore up 130 yards on the ground and McCourty got a late 4th quarter pick to seal the deal for the Patriots. Mallett continues his inconsistant nature this year. He couldn't not get into rhythm with his wide receivers and get the ball down the field.

Not much more to say about this game, but I'm curious on how the Jets and Bills did. I hope both lost so I can be in the lead alone. Week 17 is in Foxboro against the Dolphins. Patriots should win the game out and hopefully make it into the playoffs. Until next week...

Good luck! How do you think Mallet compares to Brady?

[JaymeeAwesome]

Brady would have done a little better. Probably would have a couple more wins and a lot less interceptions. I just wanted to give Mallett a chance since Brady is getting old...

Hey, Mallett is young so... remember the Steve Young story. Heck, Brady did the same to Bledsoe.

2012 - Week #16

Chasing Legends - Adrian Peterson has rolled up a huge amount of yards on the ground, and is on pace to set the single-season rushing record.

Substantial Loss For Substantial Time Frame - Percy Harvin won't be able to return to the field for several weeks, which is a substantial blow to the Vikings.

Dialing Long Distance - Matthew Staffords 418 yards passing gave the Lions a 61-14 win over the Falcons.

Falling At Home - The Jaguars failed to get a win at home versus the visiting Patriots. They lost 17-13.

@MarkSchlerethEA - It's not a coincidence the Jets have done this on the ground. Great blocking, great talent.

@MarkSchlerethEA - Coaches love a guy like Alfred Morris who can go out and get you consistent yardage on the ground.

@SkipBaylessEA - Championship teams dominate turnover differential. #Bills

@RoFloEA - Clearly Victor Cruz is having a very good season.

@WingozEA - Good season continues for Torrey Smith as he eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving this week.

@MarkSchlerethEA - The passing system in place in Green Bay has really led to great results this year.

@WingozEA - The Packers have more than 4,500 passing yards on the year. #effective

@SkipBaylessEA - The NFL needs to WAKE UP and try to slow down this Packers passing attack.

@RossTuckerEA - I don't think Julio Jones is ever satisfied so he won't give a second thought to 1,000 yards.

@mortreportEA - Jets are mum on the issue, but they can't be happy with the team's performance this year, or the coaching.

@MattMillerEA - With only 7 wins at this point, Jim Harbaugh should have a lot on his mind -- much of it not positive.

@MikeHillEA - K. Whisenhunt is not one to make excuses, so he won't try to defend how the Cardinals have played. #hotseat

@RossTuckerEA - It's tough to look at things in a vacuum right now, but P. Shurmur is a guy who should stick around. #hotseat

@MattMillerEA - With 6 wins on the year, Mike Shanahan hopes everybody just forgives and forgets. #hotseat #Redskins

@SkipBaylessEA - If Jeff Fisher doesn't return next year, the reason will be obvious: lack of results in 2012. #hotseat

@mortreportEA - At this point, Buccaneers have to look at Greg Schiano's body of work and decide some things. #hotseat

@SkipBaylessEA - They do not tolerate losses in Dallas. Wake up and win down the stretch Jason Garrett. #hotseat

@mortreportEA - #Patriots came into Jacksonville and pulled it out against the #Jaguars.

@RossTuckerEA - Matthew Stafford came up HUGE. Get this man some more sponsors. #Lions

@MarkSchlerethEA - Got to see the highlights from the Lions game, what a day for Matthew Stafford.

@RossTuckerEA - The NFL season turns into a battle of attrition, and I'm sure Percy Harvin and the Vikings know that.

@RossTuckerEA - Speed, smarts, moves, power. Adrian Peterson is the total package and is nearing greatness #recordwatch

@WingozEA - It's really no surprise to see Matthew Stafford crowned as the NFC offensive player of the week.

@AdamSchefterEA - Reggie Bush is not used to this attention, but he'll get plenty more now that he's #AFCPoW

@WingozEA - We talked plenty about Victor Butler this week because, well, he was great. #NFCPoW

@SkipBaylessEA - If Brice McCain wants ME to take notice, then fine he has my attention. #AFCPoW
