lol bob i did feel bad about that 4th and goal play. basically what happened is bob gets stuck behind the line and they don't move. i've seen this a bunch of times. IF you try to move the RB left or right, the D-lineman/LB's peel off immediately and you lose yards, all you can hope for is to squeak through (like you did on the 4th and goal early in the game).
anyhow, i enjoyed the game and it felt like i would lose. i don't know WTF is up with my lineman but they are slow as fuck! bobs slow motion QB was able to escape time and again out of the pocket while my fat fuck lineman trailed helplessly behind. it truly fucked me on a 3rd and 8 halfway through the 4th. i was down 17-13, i make a pretty good call on D and bob is forced to scramble. EVERYONE is covered, there are no open spots in the zone, but he buys about 10 seconds by scrambling out and i have fucking 3 lineman within reaching distance of him but he completes to his RB for a first down.
all i can say about your final drive is you should have kicked the FG and made sure that the worst that happened is a tie game! but you gambled, and the NCAA gods smote you!
perhaps my most infuriating play came on the final drive on 3rd and 3 inside bobs 10. 3rd and 3, he blitzes, i throw it out to my rb in the flats who is WIDE FUCKING OPEN, he is clearly going to score. what does he do? 5 yards from the sideline, he does some bogus ass "tip toe!" catch! 5 YARDS AWAY FROM THE SIDELINE! then he rolls out of bounds but of course in college you're down when your knee touches
so guess what? clock ticking! 10 seconds left and ticking, 4th and goal from the 3 still, i barely even get all my guys up to the line to hike it and my TE is open so i throw it to him, and he gets gang stopped by 3 LB's literally at the goal line (i honestly dont think he got in but the refs call TD!)
but the game was fun, it's just very frustrating to play defense in this game because here are your options:
1) you call a man defense. this means that there is basically no chance for an int (qb accuracy too good) and if your opponent has ANY time at all (depending on the route) the pass will be completed. especially out plays and slants.
2) you call a zone. this can buy you some decent time on D, but if you don't get pressure within a couple seconds the holes in the zone completely destroy you. this happens on any scrambling play
3) you blitz. if the offense didn't call a PA pass, you're pretty much dead, because the pass rush WONT get there on time even with the blitz and a human opponent is going to see instantly who the open man is.
not that its IMPOSSIBLE to play D, because you can get stops, but holy shit all the cards have to come your way or you're fucked! i think the issue is that the defensive speed is SO SLOW. the reaction time is slow and the physical speed of the defenders is very slow on the reaction. this is why comebacks, outs, slants, and everything else work so well. the offense is fast, the D isn't!
p.s. bob i didn't jetpack on purpose. i didn't even take control of the receiver, he did that shit on his own!
oh AND my other "star" WR is now injured! i didn't have him for the entire game cause bob injured him. i haven't checked yet but if he's out for the season too i'm fucking. fucking BS!
