Incredibly frustrating game. Our offense was dropping pass after pass early. We held them to a FG and even with multiple drops managed to trade FG's early. But, then our drops cost us and we had to punt or turn it over on downs over and over again. Before I knew it, we were down 20-3 and that was with a stellar defensive effort. Early in the 2nd half, we got a pick 6 and I thought our defense was going to outscore our offense. We were down 20-10. They took a 27-10 lead on a quick strike TD. We went 3 and out. Then, we got another stop and I knew I had to do something so I put in backup WR's... and I found a WR who was catching everything. Suddenly, we closed the gap to 10. But, our defense was gassed. We couldn't stop them but suddenly my offense was on fire. We came within 3 and had a chance to take the lead but my one reliable receiver was out due to being tired and we dropped a critical 3rd down pass. I was deep in my territory and I knew I had to punt.

We forced them into a long 3rd down situation and then our gassed defense was gashed by a screen play for a 75 yard TD

Our reliable WR came back in and we struck quickly to make it only down 43-38 but we were unable to get the onside kick and we lost.

So frustrating, but I think I found a new starting WR.

Edit: Just looked. 9 dropped passes officially and it felt like even more than that.
