    A bit off topic, anyone remember the 80's Nintendo Ice Hockey game? you had to choose a 3-player team.  Any combination of a fat guy, a skinny guy and/or a medium guy. Played the heck outa that game. Got off a night shift and me and some coworkers started drinking at 9am. Played that game for about 10 hours.

    Was probably me. I made a lot of money off of madden in high school and college. My high school guidance counselor told my parents I was selling drugs because I’d collect on Monday at school.
     

    When online play started I was ranked in top 5 for a while. Highest I got was #2, I got beat 4 times in a row once I hit the second spot and college started shortly after so didn’t play for a while. 
     

    There used to be a madden tour or something where they’d have tournaments at local malls. Idk why I never entered them. If I was near one I’d show up before it started when they had practice and I’d roll everyone and leave.

     

    I learned the basic audible plays like the back of my hand and use 6 other plays on offense and defense combined. I’d blitz like crazy the first drive then play very conservative the second then back to crazy then a blend of two plays the rest of the game.
     

    Now I rarely play the games I just build a franchise. 
     

    Edit- now that I think about it my friend was making fun of me for losing to JP when I was ranked so it def could be you. IIRC it was a low scoring game dominated by defense and Bills scored late on a long run or short pass with long rac for TD. I used to use ravens or chargers a lot 

    Wow it may actually have been you. I remember the game quite well now that I think about it. It was in fact a very defensive game. Something like 16-17. I scored on a play right before the half. I had the ball deep in my own territory like around the 10 or 15. About :50 seconds left in the half. First play, I ran a dive to make it look like I was running the clock. Second play, I ran the same play but play-action and went deep to Lee Evans. My only other score was a defensive TD. And I kicked a 52 yard FG as time expired iirc. I think it was vs Titans, could have been Ravens . Best defense I had ever played against.

    I used to play Madden for $ when I was younger. My older brother would set up these matches with guys he knew from school. Won a lot of money (for my brother). I used to play a lot of ranked matches on xbox live. Claim to fame was I once defeated #2 ranked player in the world at the time. I always played with the Bills with JP at quarterback so I was always at a disadvantage as well lol.

    McDermott answers why we stopped uptempo offense

    He saw his defense getting walked over and he probably wanted to slow it down and give them a break. However, doing that threw off the rhythm of the offense and we ended up giving the ball right back to them, thus getting dominated in TOP in the first half. Went back to tempo in the 4th quarter and the offense picked up it's stride again.

    And one of those were deep in Bengals territory!

     

    It has been over a month since we last forced an INT. We really need to create some more turnovers of our own, while reducing the turnovers we … well …  turn over.

     

    It’s incredible we kept the game so close. I was also happy to see shades of the 2021 offense come out with the Allen designed run and the quick hitters in the 4th quarter. Where was that all game!?

     

     

    Wow I didn't realize that. That is a problem. Stems from not being able to generate any type of pressure with our front 4.
