Anyway, I'm playin' on All-Pro. I'm stuffing the Bucs on Monday night. I driving down the field up 13-3 near the end of the first half. I get into a goal-to-go situation. Cool, I figure I'll at least come away with three. NOPE. Like an idiot, I try to force one over the middle to Thrash with a bullet, but it's picked off in the endzone.
So it's halftime. Eagles 13 Bucs 3.
I kick off to them and the unthinkable happens. The run the ball back 94 yds. for a touchdown. NOOOOOOO. Now I'm only up by 3.
We go back and forth with punts for a while, then, early in the 4th quarter, I punt and it's a touchback. On second down Brad Johnson hits Keyshawn for a short pass... But I think I had my safeties playing up so after he made a move, he was off to the races. I actually caught him at the 6 yd line.

Next play, a quick pass to the tight end... TOUCHDOWN!
Bucs 17 Eagles 13. About 3:30 minutes left in the game.
I start dinking and dunking my way down the field. Then a big pass on a skinny post to Thrash for 26 yrds. Trying to use up time on the drive.
Eventually I get 1st and goal on the 4. 30 seconds or so left.
quick slant to Pinkston in the endzone. INCOMPLETE. Second down.
Run off tackle with staley. STUFFED. -1 yd. Third down. TIMEOUT.
4 wide package, quick slant to Thrash. INCOMPLETE.
[/b]4TH DOWN.[/b]
I put the controller down and take a deep breath. Exhale.
Same play.... Quick slant to Thrash...
TOUCHDOWN!!!!!
I literally yelled out loud.
BUT! There are 22 seconds left. And I've already given up a special teams score.
Well, Akers just crushes the ball deep into the endzone and they down it.
I start playing Prevent defense. (You know, "prevents you from winning" lol)
Their in hurry-up and the call a time-out or two.
They make it to my 40 yd. line with 6 seconds left. A 57-58 yard field goal.
They decide to throw a pass instead of the long FG.
I can't remember my pass, rush, but Johnson heaves it (not into the endzone

INTERCEPTION!!!!!
The game is over. McNabb kneels with 1 second left. I win.
I think that was the most thrilling game I've ever played.
Ok. Now spare the comments about how he didn't go for the endzone on the last play, and any sarcastic remarks as to this post.
