Season 2: Playoffs: Wildcard Rd Open

Well, well, well. Playoffs, we meet again you cruel mistress. Congrats to the playoff teams. To the teams missing out, pray to the Madden Gods harder for Season 4.

If you're on the outside looking in, or bounced early from the playoffs, there's some great games to be had. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is still amazing, and going strong. If you're an RPG nerd, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is full of shit to do, and being several, several, several hours in, I've yet to kill a dragon (but they've killed me). On Tuesday, PS Plus drops [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for free, the DLC to Second Son is a nice diversion, with an arena mode full of leaderboards to conquer.

Before you click on the Award winners, just know that the Chiefs won every category. Both AFC and NFC. Also, Tyler Bray now rates out at 99 Throw Power and 99 Accuracy (Short, Medium, and Deep).  Now shake your fists mightily in mission's general direction.

The AFC placed 4 CPU teams in the playoffs.  The NFC place 0 CPU teams in the playoffs. Oy.

The Pro Bowl Rosters haven't officially leaked, but the Bears placed 5 players in the Pro Bowl:

QB Jay Cutler
RB Matt Forte
WR Alshon Jeffery
LG Matt Slauson
DT Stephen Paea

Rookie LB Dalton Stumph feels snubbed for NFC Defensive Rookie of the Year. Stumph posted 57 Tackles, 7 Sacks, 1 INT, 1 Forced Fumbled, and 2 Fumble Recoveries. The Giants' FS Yvon Bernard did post an impressive 95 Tackles, but only had 1 INT and no other stats to speak of.

The Bears harass Cam Newton collecting five sacks and forcing three fumbles as a unit. But Jay Cutler turns the ball over twice as well and Chicago's playoff runs horrendously early.

The Bears offense is worthless without Matt Forte in the backfield, expect the entire squad to be cut for ineptitude.
