[quotee99ac58="Fonzie"]Our defense held poor Lenny "Jackpot" Olsen to 4/25 for 68 yds, 1 TD & 2 INTs, and the Rounders to 99 yards of total offense(!). They were also 0/10 on 3rd down and held the ball for just 16:42. I can't express how impressed (and surprised!) I am by our defense - and how lucky we got (Olsen was 4/25? 0/10 on 3rd down? That's crazy kinda luck!).
Anyway, you have my condolences TurfToe. I'm expecting that the Rounders are more than a little steamed about their performance. I fear that our rematch will be a brutal battle.[/quotee99ac58]
Coach Strong is already on double-secret probation after the first game. We all know I like to Jerry-Jones my team and usually have my fingers in the mix more than I should. With my absence for the entire preseason, Coach Strong tried a little to hard to win meaningless games. Our starters looked a little tired and Jackpot confessed to spending the entire night before the game with you-know-who. The bitch has been sent packing, again, and a little TurfToe influence will be sufficiently applied this week in practice.
I don't mind getting embarrassed by a good team, it's not like we lost to San Antonio or anything.
We can still reach our goal if we manage to beat the Toros at home later this year. Our season will be a success if we can win 3+ games in the division. That was our initial goal and it still is. That means we have to split with everyone or sweep Arizona and split with either of the two powerhouses in our division.
I expect Olsen to put up better numbers in the first quarter next week than he did in the entire game last week. We have a few dings here and there but expect an entirely different performance against a strong Shreveport squad. Hairy Weir or no Weir there.
