ESPN is so bad. I'm about to the point where I just tune in to see if one of the hot women are doing something. They reach so hard and just seem desperate.

Just makes no sense when Garrett said they spiked it to save the timeout. Who cares you could have ran a play and still saved the timeout. It was a great season sad it has ended as a Cowboys fan.
I didnt really have a huge problem with that because they were going for the win and likely could have needed the time and wanting to keep that TO in their hip pocket if they had to settle for FG. They needed just 1 first down. The better move woulda been calling a play quickly and then calling the TO if the clock was still moving.

Another week, another win. They do need to get better in the red zone. Doubt anyone will beat New England with no touchdowns.

You don't think the 15 yard USC foul was justified? Interesting angle there.

They didn't need a first. They needed 0 more yards. They got 5 or 6 more and made it easier on bailey, but he can make it from 55+ in Dallas. I just think if you are going for the win, you don't give up a down. Leaves you 2 chances for 10 yards. With that much time left, why not run a play to sideline. If it is incomplete, its 2nd and ten still and like 38 seconds versus 44. But at least you tried to get downfield and not give up a down.

They should have ran Zeke on third down. The way he can run, it could have gone for 6. Plus with the TO, there is no worry.

I agree. A play would ahve been a better option. Play. Spike. Use the TO.

In that situation I am thinking WIN and then settling for a tie. They should have been able to stretch the field in those two plays to allow something underneath to be pretty easy.

So totally unrelated buuuuttttt...

My gf got me Madden 16 for my Xbox one for Xmas, not realizing that 17 was out. It's no big deal, still a good play. But is there a way to update the rosters on 16 to the current rosters? I have read some shit from google searches but not much makes sense.

lol that's what I said too. But she really had no idea. I said I wanted Madden, guess I needed to be more specific.

Of course he wasnt.

I have seen that happen to Harrison so many times over the years. Sometimes it gets called, sometimes it doesnt. Is it a hold? You make it really tough on yourself, as an OL, when you get the arm around the next and the guy goes down. By rule, yeah, it looks like it, but it happens often.

If Harrison doesnt go down, and he may have went down because of the hold or the footing, or both, then I doubt it gets called.

Its one of those plays when you are the beneficiary of the call you are happy, but when it goes against you then you are half made that it was called because it happens a lot and doesnt get called ,but half understand that technically it should get called an you want to get that call when the roles are reversed.

Kelce was complaining about the bullshit holding call. You used a non-sequitor to being up the USC. Pretty obvious but am not surprised you didn't see it.i

Oh. The holding call the 2pt play was correct. The left tackle tackled the defender who beat him, it was at the point of attack, it affected the play. No reason not to defend that call, easy flag.

You can download roster updates. If it's anything like the PS4, the download section is when you scroll all the way to the right. Make sure you sort by most times downloaded so you get the most accurate, up-to-date one.

It says I have the most updated one. Must not be able to get current rosters with the older game. Oh well.

I think you're trying to download from the actual EA servers.
