what the hell is going on?!?

ok, as taxx mentioned so humbly below, he nearly shut me out in the first game yesterday. i decided to pick the 49ers because that's his team and i thought it would be fun to shut him out with them. but alas, he picked my team, the steelers, and nearly shut me out instead.

the only explanation (not excuse!) is that since i was so used to playing the steelers, i was having trouble on defense when taxx would pass the ball. a bunch of times, i would switch players to defend the pass but instinctively think that i was the guy in the black and yellow. that was the cause of many caught passes by my less-skilled opponent.

anyway, check the two screens of my last second (literally!) heroics to prevent a shutout. with the clock winding down, i was desperate to prevent a shutout... check out the time on the clock and note that i'm on the steeler 43, which would mean a 60 yard field goal, unlikely. then note the beautiful catch in the end zone.

well, that was a nice play and all, but i still lost the frickin' game. but things were about to get worse...

i wanted to pick the same teams for the second match to show taxx it was a fluke. it wasn't. he shut me out thanks to a bunch of impossible interceptions and turnovers. that made his night. bah! i'm done here, here are the stats for the two games.
