Piney, great game. I squeaked out the W, but it was another great one. The biggest problem was we were disconnected twice (or was it thrice?) in the late first or second quarter. So basically we saw each others game plan a few times before we played the game that stuck.

And even though we restarted twice... all of the games were back and forth type affairs.

And I am really getting sick of losing to you. This game I couldn't stop the freaking running game to save my life, or hold you to 3rd and long, and I would even spy on that mother effer Franklin and you would still scramble for the 1st down.

The worst part is I had this freaking game, all I had to do was keep serve after the awesome sack/strip/fumble I got to put me up 2 scores. But then I made the fatal mistake of punting (was that the only one of the game?) and then throwing a pass I knew I shouldn't have thrown before I even threw it and swaying the 2 score lead into a 4 pt lead for fanatic.

Then I just still couldn't stop his freaking running game... ARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH

I am surprised my running game was effective; it really hasn't been all year, but for whatever reason it was working well. There were a couple of plays that I remember feeling very lucky to pick up yards. One was a 3rd and 5 late and I snuck with Franklin right up the middle and he went into the hop-skip-fall forward for 7 yards to get the first. Then when my backup was in late, you had two or three guys around him, being blocked I guess, but he ended up getting through the hole for a few yards.

Honestly, I think the thing that hurt you the most was the first two games that disconnected. I got to see the pressure you were bringing and adjust to it. I think you got me a few times in the final game, but I remember a few very specific plays where I saw it coming and was able to throw the pass before hand. I was caught off guard at first and it was working.

Yeah, that freaking Franklin run where he fell forward for 5 additional yards pissed me off. Cuz if I stop you you kick the FG vs getting the TD you got.

As for the pressure, I actually called off the dogs after the 2nd restart since you adjusted to it. I actually had to change out of my base defense since you were able to keep running on it even though I was calling my run blitzes and adjusting my DL to clog the middle. Nothing worse when you crash your DL and have your MLB blitz up the middle and you run up the middle for 5 yards... WTF???? And then I call the OLB blitz to the side you run and they get caught up in the wash and your RB still gets the corner for a 8-10 yard gain.

The one thing I was pleased with though was my offense. I finally adjusted my playcalling a bit and changed my style a lil after I lost my human games earlier this season. You were my first games with my new tweaks on offense and I liked what I saw in both our games this season.

Run blocking out of my FB infuriates me, especially on the power run. The lb always gets through and tackles my HB for a loss. That has been a staple of my offense for years in this game.. The challenge for you on the stretch play was your OLB's angle was really shallow so he got blocked inside. I have not had success crashing either, unless a guy breaks free. Otherwise they just crash, get blocked, and open up a huge cutback lane. That's better than the old days of Tecmo warping I guess.

Advanced to the Conference Championship Week.


shehad, let me know when you can play. I should be okay tonight. I don't know about tomorrow, but Wednesday night on is open.

Edit: It turns out that tonight is out. Wednesday evening is my best bet.

Yeah Wednesday sounds good I should be off work by 3 and should be free for the rest of the day. And I'm free the rest of today if there's a chance u can hop on.

I found out tonight that the wife and I are going to a Thanksgiving party for her work Wednesday evening. According to her, she's told me this a bunch of times and I wasn't listening. Or something. I wasn't really paying attention. Anyway, she usually ends up driving me home after these things, so it's looking like Turkey day will be the earliest I can play. If we're the last to play, I can just put myself on auto.
