this isn't groundbreaking or unique, i just wanted to get the info of my last season off my chest, and i figured this was the best section to hide it away in so as not to intrude too much http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif
having reached the superbowl only to get beat in season 3 using the Philadelphia Eagles (original rosters). my coach was 61 and in decline, but you can't fire a dude who got you to the superbowl, can ya? i was finding the salary cap a tight fit, and had to bust a gut to get what i thought was a competitive team. there were also a number of high profile guys up for free agency the following season, including the QB i was grooming as a potential replacement to McNabb. rather frustratingly, he was demanding $5m a season already, so i traded him away for only a 4th round pick. it was all i could get. i scraped the team together though and i thought that my side was capable of at least the playoffs.
and so the season got under way with a defeat to the Ravens, 31-14. oh dear. and then i proceeded to go...
0-2
0-3
0-4
0-5
0-6
after 6 games, i was 0-6. OH AND SIX! http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/confused.gif i had been in the superbowl last year, goddamit! also, i had lost those last 5 games by a combined 16 points. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/mad.gif
so i looked at the team. and i looked at the gameplan. and i looked at the team. and i was stumped. all i could find was that duce staley was doing zip. mcnabb, despite mediocre abilities, had posted a 90 QB rating last year, and i had a fine tandem of receivers in Marcus Robinson and 3rd year kid, Dale Allen. so i jacked up the 11-20 yard passing plays. 0-10: down from 50% to 35%. 11-20: up from 15% to 30%
and i won.
and i won.
and i won.
and i won.
and i won.
and i won.
and i won.
and i won.
are you keeping track? 8-6!
of course, i couldn't do the ole trick that was pulled off in the real NFL a few years back, and go from 0-6 to 10-6, but i made it to the post-season at 9-7. mcnabb had had a career year, almost 4000 yards passing.
and we faced arizona.
and i got beat.
THREE-ZERO.
