[ExtremeGamer]

13 yard line with 2 mins to go and 3 TO's left. It's mind boggling and frustrating

Not trying to get all mathmatical again... but I'm 95% sure that Columbus and Phoenix both CLINCH their playoff spots with wins in WEEK 14 and can clinch their divisions with the right combination of losses.

I am 2 games back from Columbus and we have to play again. I think If I loose this week and they win, I can still tie...................but who are we kidding, barring any injuries I won't catch them.

And if you punted, you'd be giving me the ball with great field position (anywhere between my 40 and the 50) even if my returner Viola fair caught it. Considering he's one of the fastest guys in the league, if he doesn't fair catch it, we've got it at the fifty easily, more likely in your territory a few short runs from being in field goal range.

One first down would have sealed the win, causing you to blow all your time outs for naught.

One first down ends the game and we're averaging about 4 or 5 YPC, maybe more. If you go for it and don't make it, you have a better chance of holding us to a field goal with less of a field to cover and getting the ball back still only down by a score - 20 - 13.

Even if we don't convert a first, you're still back in the same situation, with lousy field position but a minute less to go on the clock and we're pinning our ears back playing pass on every down. Something you don't want the Bees doing, because we're pretty good at pass rushing.

You didn't have much of a choice there. I would have loved it if you'd punted there. I was hoping you would. You'd have basically given up. But your coach had the nads to take your best shot to win the game and convert the 4th and long. I'm not sure why you're bummed about that. :)

I pinned my ears back on all 4 of those plays, all I did was throw long bombs. There's no chance I would have went for it there, I would have taken the chance of you having the ball at mid-field and fumbling, rather than going for another hail mary on my own 13 yard line. That just makes no sense.

And if I did get the ball back, same position with a minute to go, I'd have a fresh new 4 downs to try to move the ball.

Like I said, the AI is brain-dead at the end of a game.

We do fumble a lot. ;)

Yeah, I'm not saying I would have won, because I don't think I would have. Like I said, your team was just better. But I felt the brain-dead AI didn't even give me an opportunity to try to win.

I think it was your team that didn't give you a chance to win, not the AI. Just hang in there to they develop and it will get better.
