Staying Above Water - Madden Log

[Sharkweather]

This thread will track the progess of my Madden '10 online career. I'm setting the bar pretty low since in the three days I've had this game, I'm pretty terrible when it comes to playing online. So I will just try to keep my record above .500 which will be a challenge in itself.

I dont know if I will use one team more than any others since I like to matchup and experiment with other teams. My favorite team is the Falcons though, so thats why Matt Ryan is up there.

The rest is pretty simple, you know the deal. I like to play tracker games as much as possible, if you don't want it to be counted towards the tracker let me know before hand.

ATL      0    0    0    0    --   0

In my first game of Madden '10 Dave brought his Iggles to the Dirty South. Matt Ryan only completed seven passes (7-for-17) for 111 yards and one interception. Michael Turner was just as uneffective on the ground running for 10 yards on eight carries (1.2 avg). On the other side Dave's offense was rolling all game long. Donovan McNabb passed for 307 yards and two touchdowns on 17-of-19 passing. Brian Westbrook was held in check for most of the game, only rushing for 20 yards on eleven rushes. However Westbrook was able to find the endzone once on the day. Kevin Curtis reeled in one of McNabb's touchdown passes on three receptions for 101 yards. David Akers added a 46-yard field goal for good measure.

Tony Gonzalez recorded two catches for 53 yards, while Brian Finneran took his sole reception to the end zone for six points. Daunte Culpepper went 8-for-17 for 149 yards to go with one touchdown and five interceptions. Five different Falcons caught a pass from Culpepper with Thomas DeCoud returning one for a touchdown. Phillip Buchanon went 85-yards the other way on one of Ryan's interceptions as well. Jason Hanson added a 33-yard field goal for the home team.
