Bucs vs. giants

This is by far my favorite game that I have ever played in ACQB!!!


Kudos to bigfnJoe!! he plays a great game of madden! No gaming of the gaming, no cute blitz packages, just lines up and plays the game!!! Truly enjoyed this game!!

Now to the recap:

The Giants take the opening kickoff and control the clock for almost the entire quarter, with a great balance of playcalling, pounding Jacobs, mixing in Brown for a change of pace, and some timely passing from Eli Manning, once again the bucs could not get off the field on third down. Brandon Jacobs then rips off a 15 yarder against a exhausted buc defense, Carson Palmer comes out and throws a pick on the bucs second play from scrimmage to put the tired buc defense back on the field. the giants again take their time in dissecting the buc defense and patiently take up half of the second quarter before settling for a lawrence tynes FG putting the bucs down 10-0 after a quarter and a half, and having ran only 2 plays. the bucs get their offense going late in the second half and put together a drive that ends the half with a Olindo Mare field goal to make the halftime score 10-3 G-men The bucs defense saves the day as Carson Palmer throws two more picks in the third quarter, but the Giants can't captialize and the bucs manage a field goal making the score 10-6 going into the final stanza, and now the game gets good. Coach Twosilk sensing that Carson was not comfortable against the Giants pass rush goes all spread formations in the fourth quarter, putting 4-5 WR's on the field seemed to open passing lanes and take some of the pressure off of Carson, he responds by leading the bucs down the field for a TD to give them the lead with 9 minutes left in the game.The Giants retake the lead with 3 minutes to go with a beautiful drive by Joe. The bucs appear headed for certain defeat, they drive into the giant redzone, but come up short on a fourth down with under 2 minutes to go, but they have all of their timeouts, they stop the Giants on a big third and short and get the ball back with 51 seconds left, Carson Palmer leads them down the field and 4 plays later hits player of the game Seantrel Blakely in the endzone as he makes a leaping catch right in front of a Giant safety, to win the game for the bucs.

Great game Joe!!!
