in my chise this is what i wrote bout my game against the pats
Reg Season Week 5
Patriots 3-0 vs 49ers 1-3
..you know, I wonder how many rl teams are already beaten before even stepping on the field against the Patriots because of their "aura".
Leading up to this week.. I was a mess wondering how the hell was I going to stop them. Literally.. all I could think of was how? how?? ...I was already beat before even taking the field!
I remembered my last game against Reggie Bush and the Saints and even though I beefed up my DLine a bit.. it wasn't enough. so coming into this game against the undefeated Patriots.. I made even more roster moves.
Switched OLB J. Smith to a LE position which switched is OVR to 90
switched LOLB Manny Lawson to a ROLB spot to fill in where Justin left off..
hoping that these moves beef up my defense a bit more for the coming onslaught!
Game Result
Post Game Thoughts:
-it was close.. very close it was only 13-3 at halftime and the Patriots' only touchdown came after a blown play was returned for an INT TD.. the 2nd half is the problem, specially the 4th qtr
-Frank Gore broke his 150+ yd rush production in 3 consecutive games.. but that's to be expected against this Patriots defense I guess
-entering the 4th qtr, it was 13-10 .. but my team simply imploded.. maybe it's the youth showing and lack of experience or maybe it's just me not preparing them enough but 3 turnovers and couldn't stop anyone lead to a blowout score after running with the Patriots for 3 qtrs
they are crazy good.. and yes i love the realism that we actually feel nervous even before playing them.. lol how's that for REALISM
