Man just had the greatest game ever with these sliders. They are really good and provided me with a challenge to enjoy.

I'm playin franchise mode and I used the edits but I wanted to stick with my old sliders. They were alrite, but the game got way too simple and I routed to the Superbowl easily. So I'm entering the 2005 season with my Jags and I checked back this page and decided to try out the sliders here for my first game.

Woe and behold, my first game is against the Patriots to whom we defeated in the AFC championship game. They probably would've held more of a challenge, but Tom Brady was out with injury as well as Branch and Seymour. So a rematch with the full team was pretty apeasing to me. Anyways the game started out slow, it went back and forth for a couple of possesion leading to a scoreless first quarter. However in the 2nd, everything exploded for my Jags as the Pats seemed to effotlessly murder my offense and defense. On their first possesion of the quarter at 8 minutes remaining, Brady lead his team all the way down to my 20, where Stephen Davis plowed through my line to score the game's first TD. I brushed it off and returned the kickoff to my 40 yard line. But on the first pass, Leftwhich through a pass right into the hands of Eugene Wilson. The Pats used my turnover to score another TD on a 1 yard run by Davis again. I was starting to get pissed, but then on the kickoff, I tried to do too much with Labrandon Toefield and he fumbled it away with Asante Samuel picking it up off the ground and carrying it into the endzone. There was 3 minutes left on the clock and to my dismay, teh Patriots scored 21 points back-to-back-to-back in about 5 minutes. We entered the half down 21-0.

I felt like shutting off the system and replaying another time lol, but I wwanted to see what I could do. I knew I would have to score at least one TD in the third and that's exactly what I did. Jimmy Smith, who was quiet the entire first half, suddenly awoke and caught 5 passes during a 7 play drive that would land us our first points. However it all wouldn't have started off if Troy Edwards didn't catch a monster 50 yard pass on a 3rd and 12. We were down 21-7 and a stop we needed and a stop we recieved as we forced the Pats to a 3 and out. We took the ball at our 40 and drove all the way down to their 29. However Leftwhich was sacked once and after 2 imcomplete passes, we were forced to boot a 46 yard field goal which was good. Score 21-10.
Afterwards we hoped for another stop, but it never came as the Patriots drove all the way to our 30. However we stopped them there, but as Vinatieri came onto the field my sense of success quickly fell. However, he misses the fg. We drive all the way down to their 33 but are stopped again, but Josh Scobee saves us again by drilling a 50 yard field goal. Now 21-13 with 3 minutes left on the clock in the 4th. We needed just one more stop and were happily granted one with just a little over 2 minutes left. We took the ball at midfield after the punt and started our drive. We came to thier 34 and were looking at a 4th and 4, and we tried our run but it seemed as if Toefield was dropped a little before the line for a first. It was measured and during it I was just hoping it would go our way and luck went our way again. I was growing with anticipation to tie the game up, but that feeling was quickly dropped as Leftwhich was sacked for an 8 yard loss. We were looking at 3 and 18 on the 38 yard line with only 1:30 left. A field goal wouldn't cut it as we needed a TD and a miracle. Then on a Play Action, Leftwhich was swarmed by 6 pass rushers and as then he threw a prayer to Reggie Williams. I couldn't believe it, the fool caught it over Tyrone Poole and we were at their 1 yard line. But it's never over until it's over and Toefield came in wanting to make up for his fumble earlier as he ran into the endzone to make it 21-19. Toefield then tied it up after running and diving into the endzone for the extra 2 points. However there was still 50 seconds left on the clock and the Patriots would make good use of that time as they drove all the way to my 35. And once again, as Vinatieri came onto the field I just knew it was over. WIth 2 seconds left, the Patriots attempted a 52 yard field goal.....which sailed just a few inches to the right. I went absolutely crazy after the the miss, We were going to OVERTIME!!

We won the coin toss and took their kickoff to our 34 yard line. After 7 plays it was looking grim for our first drive as we stood at a 3rd and 7 on our 48 yard line. I set up a pass play but quickly saw an opputunity to run and see if I could throw them offguard. Labrandon Toefield is now THE man as he broke 2 tackles and ran 52 yards to the endzone as we won.

I'm still speechless as we overcame a 21 point defecit to win it in overtime.
It was just such a great game, lol wish I could've recorded it. Still really amazed that Vinny missed the game winning kick, especially since i raised the kicking all the way up for the cpu. But whatever, kudos to me for my win.
