I eeked out the win in the end. Brady was inaccurate the whole damn game. Missing people left and right, finished with 40% completion. Gave up a KR touchdown, gave up probably my season average in running yards allowed per game, all on the 1st drive of Strikers (and on 3 plays).
Down by 4 inside of 3 1/2 minutes left, and near or at FG range. 4th down and long. I already despise my kicker (LJ probably had a laugh at my attempt in our last game...) so...I'm not going to trust him to hit the FG, AND stop Striker to hope I get the ball back with no time. So, I go for it, and my rarely used TE was open for a 1st down. Well, I fart around some more, and it gets another 4th down in the redzone, but now it's like 4th and 12 at around the 18 yard line. Desperation heave to Bellows and he catches it, but doesn't go into the endzone, so it's 1st and goal at the 1 or 2, with about a minute left. I fart around some more, and score the TD with about 16 seconds left. Go for 2 and get it, to make Striker have to get a TD.
I risked losing on a FG versus the chance of a tie game off him getting a FG. 25-21 final.
