I really wish I had not been involved in this weeks playoff game so I could tell the story without any bias or bragging...but I cannot so I am gonna tell it anyway. Xplodey Coyotes Vs. Asian Assassins is one of the games that will go down in the annals of league history.
To begin with the point projection was one point difference, so you knew it was two evenly matched teams before any games had been played, combined with the stakes, it was going to be bloody.
After 3 quarters of the early games, the Coyotes held a comfortable 50 point lead thanks to the Eagles clunker of a performance. Then within 7 game minutes in the forth quarter the Eagles put up 4 touchdowns on the Giants which brought the Assassins within 6 points thanks to Vick and Jackson.
The 4 o'clock games proved to be a veritable Coyote killer with Knowshon Moreno getting injured in the first quarter, Reggie Wayne putting up a gentlemen's 3 points and Dustin Keller being Dustin Keller.
When the dust settled on Sunday, the Assassins had a 114-83 lead with the Assassins out of players and the Coyotes having Johnny Knox and the Bears D left to play.
Early in the first quarter of the Bears game Johnny Knox caught a 76 yard bomb for a TD and there was hope for the Coyotes. What followed was the most excruciating three quarters of football I have ever watched.
Having to count on your defense to score points for you is a sticky wicket. So many things have to happen, like punt returns for TD's, interceptions, fumbles and the most terrifying of them all, stopping the other team. The D would score then Vikings would score and the points go back down.
In the end the Coyotes won with a 117-114 squeaker. It was a fantastic game to watch and win or lose would have been very cool...but winning it was amazing! What a great game and a reminder why fantasy football is so much fun.
The best part of the game was being on the smackboards and watching the game with everyone talking smack, shitting their pants as well. Rob and I were texting back and forth the entire game...I have 17 texts of WTF! This is my favorite league just for this reason!
Thanks you guys for a great season whomever ends up winning the Bulletproof Tiger!

Well I would like to first say that that even though my team lost they went down fightin like a son-of-a-bitch, My son Wyatt and I watched that whole Bears/Vikings game and it was a blast. Every play meant something and it went down to the very last play of the game when the Coyotes finally put the fatal dagger into the Assassis.
ReplyDeleteDoug your team better take the Championship so I can say the Assassins fell to the best team this year....Good Luck and I can't wait until next year!!!!!
