Rough win man lol.

Your D stepped it up big time.

Lol yeah it was. I dropped a lot of interceptions that game though, so it could have been a lot worse. The 49ers absolutely blow in my game, haha.

I've finished out the season, cause I always like playing ahead from where I'm posting. Updates will be coming more frequent after the 4th of June, the day I graduate. I'm looking to play this out for possibly 4-5 seasons; I'm having so much fun with it. Just giving you guys a heads up.

Haha yeah, plus with me being in college next year, I'll be able to play a whole lot of Madden and NCAA. :D I'm in the planning stages of my CL for 2010, and will also do a dynasty with a bottom-feeder (possibly Army?) along with my Madden 'chise.

I'm busy tonight, but I should have an update tomorrow night after I get back from my school's Senior Dinner.
 
Sorry for not having an update last night. Like I said, I had Senior Dinner, but then I went to a party for one of my friends who leaves for basic training Tuesday. Then I was a little hungover this morning but still went to the gym to play basketball, cause that what I'll be doing every Saturday morning now if I want to play at Robert Morris next year. Finally rested up and feeling well, I'll update with a pre-game report in a bit.
 
Week 7 Preview

Seattle.png
at
Arizona.png

Seattle Seahawks (4-1) at Arizona Cardinals (4-1)

Pre-Game Injury Report

SEA- Curtis Conway, WR (migraines - questionable) | Darrell Jackson, WR (foot stress fracture - doubtful) | Jason Webster, CB (hairline arm fracture - out) | Marcus Trufant, CB (broken vertebrae - Injured Reserve)
ARZ- Adrian Wilson, SS (fractured arm - probable) | Bryant Johnson, WR (torn calf - out)

Pre-Game Matchups

Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (106-154, 1432 yards, 14 TD, 4 INT) vs. Cardinals QB Drew Henson (93-161, 1603 yards, 13 TD, 9 INT)
Hasselbeck has been the best quarterback in the NFL so far this season. He has the best quarterback rating in the league, as well as the most touchdown passes. He is also second in the league in passing yards, behind star rookie Henson. Henson struggled against a mediocre 49ers squad, so that opens up concern in the Arizona fan base. A good game against division rival Seattle will calm the critics.​

Seahawks HB Shaun Alexander (88 carries, 355 yards, 1 TD) vs. Cardinals HB Emmitt Smith (92 carries, 359 yards, 5 TD)
Alexander has had a decent start to the season but hasn't produced in the touchdown category. However he is playing the same team that let Warrick Dunn run wild for 285 yards and four scores, so he could have a big game. Smith ran for 151 yards three weeks ago, but other than that hasn't had many big games. He does share carries with Erik Bickerstaff so his numbers aren't as inflated as other runningbacks in the league.

Seahawks WR Koren Robinson (21 catches, 323 yards, 3 TD) vs. Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (42 catches, 592 yards, 3 TD)
Koren Robinson as well as Bobby Engram have been the go-to guys for Matt Hasselbeck, and the receiving core for Seattle could be even more scary if receivers like Curtis Conway and Darrell Jackson could stay healthy. The stats lie a little bit, because Hasselbeck has done a good job spreading the love to all the targets. Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin have been the best one-two combo at receiver this year but go against a decent Seattle secondary. After Henson's showing against the Niners, there's no telling how he'll play.

Prediction: Seahawks 21, Cardinals 20

THERE'S A NEW BEST IN THE WEST - CARDINALS FORCE TURNOVERS IN WIN

SEA | 0 | 3 | 7 | 6 | 16 ARZ | 7 | 7 | 7 | 3 | 24

FIRST QUARTER
ARZ- Emmitt Smith 2 yard run (Neil Rackers kick)

SECOND QUARTER
ARZ- Emmitt Smith 1 yard run (Neil Rackers kick)
SEA- Josh Brown 29 yard field goal

THIRD QUARTER
ARZ- Drew Henson 6 yard pass to Larry Fitzgerald (Neil Rackers kick)
SEA- Shaun Alexander 2 yard run (Josh Brown kick)

FOURTH QUARTER
SEA- Matt Hasselbeck 30 yard pass to Bobby Engram (run failed)
ARZ- Neil Rackers 47 yard field goal

GLENDALE, AZ (AP)- A rainy day made it look like the advantage would go to Seattle, because Shaun Alexander and the Seahawks ground game was better than Arizona's. However, the Cardinals defense held Alexander to 22 yards rushing and forced Matt Hasselbeck into four interceptions in Arizona's 24-16 over Seattle. The win gives the Cardinals sole possession of first place in the NFL West, something NFL analysts thought wouldn't happen for a while. After a promising opening drive ended in a punt for the Cardinals, the Seahawks took the ball at their own 19. Hasselbeck hit both Koren Robinson and Mack Strong for 15 plus yard gains, but then threw a pass intended for Germane Crowell over the middle. That's where ballhawk Dexter Jackson resides, and he intercepted his first of two Hasselbeck passes. Back-to-back three and outs led to the Cardinals going on a nine play drive that ended in an Emmitt Smith touchdown run. Smith struggled most of the day, but scored two touchdowns.

Jackson got pick number two in Seattle's first drive of the second quarter and Drew Henson went to work, finding Larry Fitzgerald for a 15 yard gain. Larry had the Seahawks' number all day, catching 13 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. Smith had his longest run of the day on the next play, going left side for 18 yards. After another Smith run and Fitzgerald catch, Smith carried the ball over the goal line for another Arizona touchdown. Josh Brown tacked on a field goal to end the half with the Cardinals up 14-3.

Seattle needed life to start the second half but the first play after kickoff, Adrian Wilson, who was playing with a fractured arm, picked off Hasselbeck. Wilson had seven tackles and that interception. Henson found Fitzgerald in the endzone for a touchdown after that, which gave the Cardinals a lead for good. Henson went 19 for 30, 196 yards, and that score. Arizona improves to 5-1 and faces another hot team in the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium at Halloween.
