Eamon and I squared off in a battle of NTL titans in a game with major playoff seeding ramifications.
Giants win 28-23. The final score is a lot closer than the game really was, or rather, should've been.
On first play from scrimmage LT intercepts Simms, but fumbles and John Taylor picks it up and runs 50 yards for a TD. I would've tackled him had LT not been in zombie stalker mode, I had no control over his movement at all.
I get ball, drive down and score. 7-7.
PIT gets the ball back but Simms is errant yet again, this time Bubba McDowell catches one up in Rice's grill. This time I don't fumble. I drive down and score. 14-7.
He gets it back, has a pretty nice drive going before the half, but once again, I get an INT and a JJ attempt at half is off the mark. 14-7 half.
I get ball after half and drive down methodically and score. 21-7. TD reception by the unheralded Eric Sievers, who was in GOOD while Baker was in BAD.
He gets ball, scores courtesy of some clutch receptions (i.e. CC) by Rice. 21-14.
I get it back and Muster rips off a HUGE return to the 10 yd line. I punch it in a couple of plays later. 28-14.
He goes down and scores quick to make it 28-21.
Then things get a little interesting. He kicks deep (why?) and I get it back. I call pass thinking he will be expecting me to run it out. He calls my play. I'm in the endzone and I don't wanna risk INT, so I take the safety. 28-23. I kick off deep to middle of field and the clock runs out before he gets out of bounds. Game/set/match.
GG Eamon! See ya in the playoffs!
