First game with Blue Set, mid-season of the Arizona Cardinals. Note I have fatigue at 75 and injuries at 95.
Major Injuries:
Adrian Peterson, injured in 2nd quarter; did not return
Percy Harvin, injured in 2nd quarter; did not return
Kyle Rudolph, injured in 2nd quarter; did not return
Kevin Kolb, injured in 2nd quarter; did not return
LB Paris Lenon, injured in 3rd quarter; did not return
Game Notes: The Minnesota Vikings led by 5 with under 2 minutes when a Patrick Peterson punt return gave the Cardinals the ball inside Minnesota territory. Backup QB John Skelton, playing for the injured Kevin Kolb, led the Cardinals in the hurry up, hitting WR Early Doucet with an 11 yard touchdown strike as time expired, ending the Cardinals' two game losing skid.

My thoughts:
Neither team had a sack, though Christian Ponder had a terrible game. He was able to hit a playaction TD pass to Harvin in the 2nd quarter but then losing AP, Rudolph, and Harvin probably made things rough. Gerhart ran very well and the Vikings did a lot of WR runs to help their ground game. I found it difficult to stop the run but Ponder was no threat, especially after losing Harvin. He's a 2nd year QB so this may be realistic.
Overall, I found the Blue Sliders challenging in this matchup and I won by a hair. The stats also look realistic and appropriate with the possible exception of Ponder's atrocious performance.

Yeah the stats were good man.. I'm glad you found them challenging man.
Yeah I'm starting to think the USER INTs being at 45 is affecting the CPUs QB play. I might have to lower that down to 40 to get some sort of balance from them.. I'm still trying to decide on that but I been noticing the CPU QBs throwing at least 2INTs in most of the games I'm seeing posted on here..
