ok, man, what a frustrating game...I like defense, I like playing defense, but man my defense sucks. I had no idea what to do to stop the passing attack. His Wr's were a lot faster than my DB's, so I play man, I get burned, I played zone, he finds the 50 yd hole. I came with blitzes from every where, and would rarely get to him. My d-line blows if I don't control the DE. One thing that pissed me off was before I finally had a INT there was a throw UK had just like it where it was a duck right to my safety, but he decides to swat the ball (which has been typical all year)....It was absurd how my defense was playing, UK was having scoring drives of less than 1:00...UK had a TD right before halftime (:03 left) that really pissed me off cause there should have been 2 guys there to cover that middle pass, and somehow both get burned.
Now, on the offensive side of the, I had the best passing night I think I ever had, and will ever have. I believe I was 31/45 for 550 yds, found out how powerful the curl route was in this game, I ended up throwing to the WR who ran the curl a lot cause there wouldn't be a DB close a lot of times. I made 1 mistake on offense all night and I thought it was going to cost me the game. There was about 4 or 5 minutes left, and my TE was running a slant then curl, I was trying to hit him before he could curl (and just make it a slant) but I timed it pretty bad and the LB was right there sitting on it for the pick. Luckily I was able to drive down, and on 3rd&Goal, I was able to run it in with my QB, I knew it was gonna be damn hard to find an open WR from the 1 yd line when he had 8 in coverage, so as soon as I snapped it, I looked, rolled out and just hauled ass into the endzone before the DB's could react.
I feel your pain jthorp on that INT, I saw him wide open and just went o shit, I wasn't surprised it got batted down cause that's happened to me a ton of times, but the INT came out of nowhere, it's ironic my season ended on an INT because all season I was very pissed at my defense at the lack of interceptions I had, they'd either drop it or decide to punch it and not try to catch it
GG jthorp, that offense of yours is brutal
