I am very bored as I write this blog to you readers, but this actually a pretty wierd franchise for my Atlanta Falcons, dont ask me why I took them. So heres what I started out with:

QB: Joey Harrington        QB: Byron Leftwich
RB: Warrick Dunn            RB: Jerious Norwood
FB: Ovie Mughelli
WR: Joe Horn
WR: Roddy White
WR: Michael Jenkins
TE: Alge Crumpler

So I edited the rosters a little to match the current, I was to lazy to make Chris Redmen so I made Joey the starter. Anyway, I played my first season and a lot of odd things happened with my Falcons. First off I play on All-Madden so it's pretty hard. I went 11-4 that season. Roddy White ended up with 121 catches for 1,994 yards. So I moved him to #1 reciever, as for Horn who finnished with a tremedously weak 23 catches for 320 yards i cut him at the end of the season. Jenkins who had a solid 80 catches for 1,310 yards made the pro-bowl along with Roddy White for the WR. As for the QB situation, probably the wierdest. One play into the first game Joey Harrington tears his ACL, out for season. So in comes big Byron Leftwich. Who I absouloutly suck with. I finnished with a 72.2 passer rating with 19 INT's and 12 TD's. None of my QB's went to the Pro-Bowl. Warrick Dunn had a hournedus year with 609 yards and 2 TDs, so I planned to put in Jerious Norwood next season. So in the playoffs i lost to the St. Louis Rams in the wildcard. Retirements came and the most shocking thing on the list JOEY HARRINGTON right there on the retirement list. I was shocked. So immediatly I started wheelin and dealin to try to get a QB to replace him and to get Byron out of there. After a week(in madden time) I came to an agreement with the Cleveland Browns. Heres the trade:

Browns get:

RB Warrick Dunn
OL Justin Blalock
3rd Round Pick

Falcons get:

QB Derek Anderson(who I made an 82RTG)
1st Round Pick

I thoought that was a pretty great deal considering the state I was in. Lucky for me the Browns had the worst record in the NFL(2-14). So the 1st pick went to me. Sadly those 2 wins came with no help from Anderson who had a very off year with 68.2 passer rating 20 INTS and 15 TDS. So as a fall back I picked up Kurt Warner(who was cut) and with the 1st pick I chose a QB named Ryan Mitchell(haha see the name resemblance).

Year two with the Atlanta Falcons. I fired Bobby Petrino just because I despise the guy, and got Rex Ryan to come over and coach my team. Petrino took it pretty hard and as expected retired from the NFL. Don't know how it happened its just when the Retirment sheet came up Petrino was on it. So i had a new starting QB new RB and a whole new team, lets see the roster.

QB: Ryan Mitchell        QB: Derek Anderson
RB: Jerious Norwood    RB: Julius Jones(who i picked up in FA)
FB: Ovie Mughelli
WR: Roddy White
WR: Michael Jenkins
WR: Bethel Johnson(all i could get)
TE: Alge Crumpler

I decided that I would start Ryan Mitchell because he had a better accurcey than Anderson and thats what I needed off the bat. So the season is under way, hoping for no torn ACL's I started my 1st game against the returning champion Miami Dolphins(of all teams right?). It started out phenominally Mitchell finnished going 23-30 with 3 TDs and 0 INTS. Norwood and Jones split carries Nowood finnished with 67 yards on 11 carries and Jones finnished with 78 yards on 14 carries. Roddy had a usually great game with 11 catches for 178 yards. Bethel actually did ok wwith 3 catches for 21 yards and a TD. I finnished with a score of:

ATL-21
MIA-10

So things were going quite well until about the 3rd game and guess what comes back to haunt me? TORN ACL! Thank goodness it was Derek Anderson who came in on one of the usual spell plays that I did with Mitchell and Anderson. So it looked like if Mitchell went down it was going to be up to Koenen to play QB, lets hope that doesn;t happen! Well guess what! Torn LCL 10th week, out for year. WHAT BULL **** FOR ME!! So I opt instead of relying on Mike Koenan to pick up the best QB in FA Craig Krenzel to lead the team. Imagine how that went. I finnished the rest of the year without a win and finnished 10-6. Luckily I got into the playoffs and made it to the NFC Championship where Craig couldn't quite get me there as i lost to the Philadelphia Eagles:

ATL-7
PHI-10

So into the offseason I went, once again avoiding the coveted Super-Bowl ring. Derek Anderson was considering retirement but I chose to talk him out of it. Jerious Norwood and Julius Jones both made it to the pro-bowl as did Roddy White and Michael Jenkins. Guess who else made it? WARRICK DUNN! He broke the all-time rushing record with 2,340 yards at the end of the season. The i got mad. I AM MAKING THE SUPER BOWL THIS SEASON GOSH DAMNET! I said to myself as I looked over the Pro-Bowl roster. Even with only 10 weeks of NFL playing Mitchell became the ROY. Dunn won the MVP, figures. Into the moves. I looked despretly for a TE to replace my retired Alge Crumpler who was sound for my team. I made a trade that risked my 1st pick, i don't know if it was a smart move but here it was,

Falcons get:

TE Greg Olson

Bears get:

1st Round pick
S Madieu Williams (who I got in FA last year)

So i got a TE but lost a key component of my Defense. So I moved into the regular season via this roster:

QB: Ryan Mitchell              QB: Derek Anderson
RB: Julius Jones                RB: Jerious Norwood
FB: Ovie Mughelli
WR: Roddy White
WR: Michael Jenkins
WR: Bethel Johnson
TE: Greg Olson

I decided at the end of last season i would start Julius because I was better with him than I was with Jerious. My 1st game was against the Dallas Cowboys and there was no contest. Ryan Mitchell missed only 2 passes the whole game went 32-34 with 4TDS and 0 INTS. Jones had 201 rushing yards on only 16 carries. White was dominent with 11 grabs and 234 yards. Johnson, Jenkins, and Olson all had sound games and Mughelli sadly annonced his retirement at the end of the season. The rest of the season went great as I ended up with 1 loss 15-1. I finally didn't have to play in the Wildcard so thats a plus. I went all the way to the Super Bowl, where I played the New England Patriots. I was defeated. Badly. Try:

ATL-3
NE-28

I don't know what happened I just went into a major funk. As I looked at the pro-bowl rosters i noticed Warrick was once again on the team, but not with the rushing record. That now belonged to Thomas Jones who had 2,431 yards. Julius made it for a second year, and no ACL tears haunted my QB's as Ryan Mitchell made the Pro-Bowl and finnished as MVP, the youngest for that matter. Things were going good, except the illuded Super-Bowl ring.

Into the offseason I went and made some deals. Signed some agents. And made sure I would win that Super-Bowl. After a big MVP win, Ryan Mitchell asked for a little to much than i could pay, so I had to try to trade him. Derek Anderson had already signed back with the Browns, so I had no QB's left. Then the biggest deal I have ever made in madden.

Falcons get:

QB: Thomas Galvin(rookie, underachiever)
RB: Musa Smith
1st Round Pick

Ravens get:

QB Ryan Mitchell
RB: Jerious Norwood
WR: Michael Jenkins

I signed Aaron Brooks as my backup. I also signed Roydell Williams who was cut by Tennesee. So I had my slots filled. Maybe not well, but they were filled. I also ended up picking a guy named Jamario Moon a Saftey with my first round pick. The names in this game are just so wierd! So into the preseason this was my roster:

QB: Thomas Galvin               QB: Aaron Brooks
RB: Julius Jones                   RB: Musa Smith
FB: Franklin Johnson(6th round pick)
WR: Roddy White
WR: Roydell Williams
WR: Bethel Johnson
TE: Greg Olson

Preseason went just as I expected. I simulated by the way. I went 0-4 Galvin thrw 6 INTS. Then I knew I was in trouble. As the 1st game came along Philadelphia just seemed to get stronger. Into the 1st game, summary of the game in one word TRAINWRECK! These were the stats from that game:

Galvin: 13/30 70 yards  1 TD 3 INTS
Jones: 15 Carries 70 Yards
White: 3 catches 15 yds
B. Johnson-1 catch 5 yards
Williams-6 catches 30 yards 1 TD
Olson- 3 catches 20 yards

The score ended up being:

PHI-21
ATL-7
