Problems, And Excuses!

[MTK]

I broke down the first half of the game last night with my DVR on SUPER SLO MO and I even broke out my armchair clipboard and charted the plays. I even put on my PS2 headset just so I could feel even more like a wannabe loser. Afterwards I put all the info into a spreadsheet and this is what I found.

In the first half alone I noted 7 instances where one defender or more was running free to the QB without being blocked at all. I don't care what QB you're talking about, that kind of pressure is going to disrupt an offense.

I need to finish breaking down the 2nd half tonight, but I'm trying to find the SUPER DUPER SLO MO button so I can break it down frame by frame. I'll then chart those results in a pie chart and divide everything by pi.

Mmmm. Pie. Question 3.

Ever notice how Pi starts with the digit "3". Clearly, we at the Warpath are connected with the cosmos - "Pi" being one of our favorite subjects and "3" being our most unsolvable question. It's kismet.

As for any true analytical discussion relevant to the Skins performance, I appear to have had a short term memory loss - has the season started yet?

Matty,

Can you separate that down by drives? Here's what I saw by looking at the play-by-play.

Rushes:
Drive Yds
1 0
2 6,3, and 0
3 none
4 2 (by now Dallas knows we have no rushing game)
5 19(Moss), 15
6 3
7 6,5,12 (ending at the half)(I think the last was a pass play)
Passes
Drive Down YdsToGo YdsOnPlay (- is incomplete, sack(#) is sack with yards lost)
1 1 10 6
1 3 4 -
2 none
3 1 10 15
3 1 10 7
3 2 8 -
3 1 10 6
3 1 10 -
3 2 10 sack(8)
3 3 18 14 (got the FG)
4 2 8 -
4 3 8 -
5 1 10 sack(11)
5 3 11 -
6 1 10 -
6 3 7 -
7 2 4 -

By the end of the 4th drive we have a total of 11 yards, only 1 rush longer than 3 yards. See if they starting blitzing about then. After all, they didn't have to worry about our running game, and they could just tee off.
