Time for a palate cleanser, something that has nothing to do with the Super Bowl. Over the weekend, I taught my boys how to play Madden for the first time and we simulated the Super Bowl—damnit. Oh well.
I was the blue icon.
H was the green icon.
G was the red icon.
Throughout the first half, we had trouble learning how to run routes and get open. We would routinely end up with 4th and long and I would try to scramble for the first down to keep drives alive. (Also, they would often go in motion before the snap, messing up the routes we had just learned.)
For example of not understanding the route running, at 1:17 the red receiver gets open and as soon as I throw it, runs back toward the QB.
But then at 1:38 something crazy happened. We completed a pass! And then completed another 3 in a row to score.
Although we got the hang of offense, defense was a problem. As the red icon had a tendency to do an uncalled corner blitz leaving the opposing receivers wide open.
So late in the game, it's tied and we're driving for the win.
With 1:30 to go, it looks like Williams is open if I can put the ball to the sideline...but somehow it goes straight to a defender. Well, only one thing left to do. Try to force a fumble with Pat Mahomes using the truck stick.
You'd have a heart attack if Mahomes really throws that pick in the Super Bowl under a minute left.
