Yea, defining moments definitely need more work.
Last night, in a pre-season game, I was up 59 - 52 late in the 4th, and (finally) stopped their offense and got the ball back.
Ran 3 consecutive times from my 20 to run out the clock. He calls his last timeout after my 2nd down run. So it's 3rd and 8 with about :50 left or so. So I run in the middle again, for 2 yards, and I'm thinking, whew I have got to find a better corner as soon as the click ticks away...
Then, definining moment, 4th & 6, do you go for it?
And I'm thinking, huh? I don't even need to run another play! I've already won!
So I say, sure, why not because I won't run the play anyway, called a fake punt.
Let the time tick away, and my approval goes down like 10 or 15 points because I didn't make the 4th down! And I won the game!
AAARRRGGGHHH!!

Yeah, I've had that one before. It would be almost funny if it wasn't so damned penalizing. In my last season I just finished, I only lost one game all year. Due to the loss and an entire game of just bizarre DMs that I had to reject, I lost over 50 points of approval in just that one game! Now granted, it was a heartbreaking overtime loss, but that is just ridiculous. In the end, even though I ran the table for the rest of the year and won the Super Bowl, I never recovered. Finished the season in the 60s for approval.
Also, the only other time I won the Super Bowl, I finished the game with less approval than when I started. How does that make sense to anyone? I just have to shake my head when I see people trying to defend DMs as they are now. A cool idea, but they definately need improvement.
