Ravens grounded as the Phins run riot.

The Ravens traveled to Miami for the opening game of what is going to be a long season for the Baltimore team.
Dolphins won the toss and decided to kick off, no doubt in order to test the new Ravens owner, it didnt take much testing out though and the Ravens were forced to punt. Already on the down low about Charles from various scouting reports, the first tackle was good for a couple of yards, the next however and he was off to the races. Pay dirt, the scouting was right, it takes more than 3 to bring this man down.
7v0 with only 3 mins gone in the match, that was certainly an opening the new Ravens owner hadnt totally ruled out, but he could only look on in horror as the Miami defense went into psycho mode, hunting down each play and busting it up. Miami went on the rampage.
The half ended 28v0 to the Dolphins, with the Ravens trudging back to the dressing room, already knowing they'd be on the bus back to Baltimore, rather than flying back. Ravens kicked off and the next play, Charles run it in for a TD. Ed Reed had him marked, but when coming round the edge got locked into a block and the rest was history.
From the following kick off, Reggie Bush run it back for a score, still not sure if it was the one time my blocks actually worked for me, or if Chris was feeling sorry for the sheer amount of pain his team was inflicting on me.
Ravens kicked off again then to the Phins, another long drive another TD, 42v7 was the final score, as the 4th quarter ran out with both teams punting twice.

Well played Chris, still cant believe I didnt complete a single pass, I mean I wasnt moving Schaub about needlessly or trying crazy things, but each time the ball was in my players hands it was out of them, though my worst thing and I really couldnt get over it was having TJ wide open down the right, and I managed to see it, and threw towards him and the ball went out of bounds. Still in shock......

After getting my first lesson in Madden Online, I have removed my name from the Tier 1 list, I have alot to learn and it really is a place for veteran classic players. I am 5th String at this rate, but like Susek, I'm determined to learn and keep trying, though hoping I dont have a season like the Jags last year......
