GreggTX Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) I use my own, more realistic sliders and let computer vs computer play out. Mind you, I don't claim that this is anything remotely reliable for predicting actual outcomes, but it's fun, so let's get to it. To begin, Petermann's OVRL rating is a disgraceful 68. I feared the worst, but was pleasantly surprised as the Bills converted a BAL red zone fumble to halt the Ravens 2nd drive and then marched 64 yards to open the scoring at 7-0 BUF. The Bills went on to mount a 20-3 halftime lead behind solid defense. The secondary played exceptionally well in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, the Ravens caught fire and tied the game in the 4Q at 23-23. It looked like the Bills were going to let this one get away, but in the final minute, as BAL was driving for the game winning score, Matt Milano stepped in front of BAL RB Dixon and ran 59 yards for the game winning TD with 0:12 left on the clock, sending the BAL fans to the parking lot frustrated again by these Bills. M Milano was the defensive player of the game with 11 TKL, 1 TFL & the game winning pick 6. C Clay was the offensive player of the game with a 110 yd. performance and a TD. Key Stats: Flacco - 30/51, 381 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT Petermann - 20/33, 309 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT C. Clay 7 REC, 110 YDS, 1 TD L McCoy 20 ATT, 83 YDS Collins (BAL) 19 ATT, 36 YDS Others worth mentioning: - M Hyde also had a blocked punt that lead to a 12 YD N Petermann - C Clay TD pass. - S Hauschka went 3/4, missing his longest attempt of 54 YDS, but later nailed a 52 yarder. - K Benjamin hauled in a 52 YD N Petermann pass for the Bills 2nd TD. - Ivory had a 12 YD TD run. - The rookie MLB was largely invisible, netting only a single solo stop and 3 assists and a PDEF. - The Bills offense was anything but conservative as Petermann's numbers suggest. - The dominant 1st half defense got really leaky in the 2nd half, but came through in the end to seal a very impressive road win against a tough opponent. - Petermann had a handful of really ugly plays, but was consistent and made a lot of key 3rd down completions. He was not spectacular, but came through time and time again in the clutch despite his awful ratings in the Madden game. - Kyle, T Murphy and J Hughes each had a sack. BAL had 4 sacks on Petermann.

Maybe if you do a few thousand games we can get a decent sample size. Then we can watch the real game and see how it pans out? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 So...the final score was 30-23 Bills? I'm assuming that's how it was, didn't really see it anywhere specifically mentioned. And the Bills have only scored 20 or more points twice against the Ravens. Once in 2010 when we lost 34 to 37 in OT, and another in 2013 when we won 23 to 20. I have a feeling if we could break 20 against this Ravens defense, we'd have a pretty great shot at winning. On the flip side, if Flacco throws for 381 yards & 3 TD's, I highly doubt we could overcome that. I can't see the game playing out anything like this, but I'd be happy with the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills fan since 87 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Pretty cool. Maybe include a list type scoring recap next time, or box score? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
