I won't comment until you finish watching tarcone, I just finished it.

just the kind of game i'm looking forward to this year - we lose, but score a lot of points. i'm gunning for a top 5 pick and was afraid that with Lathum tossing td's all over the place we'd jeopardize that.

i think i may need to keep Lathum as my starting QB next season. he might be one of those severely masked players. no need for him to be putting up these numbers.

[Hell Atlantic]

WOW - Ed Lathum: Offensive Player of the Week. the second time this season. amazing.

I will comment on this though. I am not sure how many times you have been down by 16 points before but the move to strictly running the ball here definitely caught my defense off guard and racked up some yardage for Singleton during this period of the game. I was happy with my run defense until this point of the game.

Damn. Disapponiting end. Exciting game though.

this shows a little comparison between Crespo's rookie season and Singleton's season thus far. In Crespo's record setting season. he ran for 1112yds in his last 6 games. Singleton is in prime position to break this record.

Crespo averaged 132yds / game that season
as stated earlier, Singleton is averaging 150yds /game this season

My 2 big guns at WR were a combined 2 catches on 16 targets.
Singleton was 8 for 36 with 1 TD at half. He finished 25 for 170 and 2 TDs.

2 friggin' false start penalties at the end of the game killed me.

GG Cringer. I hope fortunes change at my house.

Almost a tale of two halves, which is why I was actually very damn happy about the FG we had right before halftime. I wanted the cushion going into the second half as you see the other team bounce back often enough in cases like this. You commented on it, the 3 and out starting the second half was big too for us. I thought if you scored there then too much time was left for you to win.

We basically shut down your passing game which I am real happy about, and when you were forced to go to that at the end of the game we didn't stop shutting it down. It was that part in the middle of the 'comeback' where Singleton was getting dished the ball a lot while I was defending for the pass with a lead that hurt us/helped you.

The Toad offense got sloppy in the 2nd half with a couple dropped balls, an INT, and just fewer first downs. Your defense was clearly part of that as you started getting more pressure on Given. Ted Lofton became a major pain in the ass.

Great game tarcone, but I am glad to have won it.

[tarcone]

Another result: drop out of 6th playoff spot.

[Cringer]

Fantastic graph. Singleton busts some huge plays, and to be honest I was stopping him for a while in the first half. I did not buy into tarcone's "passing gameplan" bit and wanted to stop the run so I gameplanned for it. The problem was it actually worked ok for a while until my team went up by enough points my defense kicked into pass defense and Singleton ran by me. He also ran buy me in base 3-4 sets as well though, so it wasn't all that. The guy just seems to be a lock to get hot at some point in a game.

Boy I hate to see Sanford crumble under pressure
