The Outsider and I duked out the upcoming game on Madden.  Him as NY and me as Seattle.  I sure hope this is not indicitive of this weeks game:

NY:28  Seattle:14

 The game was full of NY big passing plays, which unfortunately could be true.  But with Plaxico out, maybe maybe Ellie won't be able to get away with the old jump ball passes he likes to put up.

Alright folks.  In the inaugural Madden 09 kickoff at the Outsider's coop, I already played the forthcoming matchup versus the 49s.  If that game is any predictor for today, we are going to see a thorough trouncing ending in a Hawks victory of 21 - 7.

In this weeks Madden sim, The Colonel wins again.  Thanks to a 50 yard fumble recovery and run back, and Alexander's butter fingers, he was able to take the 49ers into OT vs the Hawks.  He got an outstanding diving interception to steal the ball from me, then marched down and kicked a FG.

 Final score of 10 to 7 in the 49er's favor.

Good game Colonel errr ... General errr..... Colonel

The General and I simulated this weekends up coming game, and it didn't turn out how I'ld expect. It was a rather low scoring affair with a final score of Bengals 21 to the Seahawks 14.

After the first 3 quarters it was tied 0-0 but then the shootout started. A Bengals game wouldn't be complete without a cheap long bomb to Chad Johnson, so there was a couple of those for good measure. The Hawks fought back with a 103 yard kick off return by Deion Branch, but in the end it was not enough. Hacket was tackled at the 1 yard line on the last play of the game. 1 lousy yard from going into overtime.

It was much fun, thanks for the good fight Colonel.
