Without a doubt, I lead the FOF multi-player universe in losing title game appearances. *shurg*
Have no idea what went wrong there - 29 of 49 passing is not what our Quack offense is supposed to do, and without the game logs, I can't tell whether we got sacked by familiars or if it was just good defense by the G-men.
Either way, congrats to the Giants on a nice season and title.
I wish I could take full credit for the championship here. Most of the offense is actually players that I inherited several seasons ago. (only 3 of the starting offense players are my guys). On the defensive side, 7 of the starters are my players that I brought in.
Since this team mainly won thanks to offense, I'll take credit for the game plan, and defense, I guess only 66% of this title is mine!

Dola, I'll also note that in both of my games against Atlanta this year, it took last minute drives to come from behind to beat them.
In the NFC Championship game, a TD pass with 2 seconds left put us ahead by 2 (plus the extra point) for good.. Yikes
