[22:32] JayTando: hehehe great game bro
[22:33] Mike P-Metro City: yea it was good game, i got sloppy and you stormed back and
almost pulled off an amazing come back, i won but i am not happy
[22:34] JayTando: hehehehe
[22:34] Mike P-Metro City: your blitz was giving my OL fits, sack attack
[22:34] JayTando: man I could not get anyting to work until LATE
[22:34] JayTando: you really out-coached me tonight for 3-1/2 quarters bro
[22:35] JayTando: everything worked for you well
[22:35] JayTando: I played bad
[22:35] JayTando: but finally the light went on and my team showed up
[22:37] Mike P-Metro City: yea but you took advantage of my play calling and came back,
unreal, i thought i had the perfect pASS BLOCKING for your blitz, it was a little off and
i was getting sacked, then i got cocky and let you get deep, you had some nice plays deep,
that last 4th down convert you missed i new you were going to try that pass bro
[22:37] JayTando: yeah
[22:37] JayTando: Alex K gave me that play and I saw you use it onme several times too LOL
[22:37] JayTando: somehow you have it now
[22:37] Mike P-Metro City: no i mean the 2 piont convert
[22:38] JayTando: yes
[22:38] JayTando: the little flip to teh RB
[22:38] JayTando: I saw you have it too and it owrked against me weell #$%^&$#! hehhe
[22:38] Mike P-Metro City: you could have tied it
[22:38] JayTando: yep
[22:39] JayTando: you really thumped me early it was amiracle I was even in it late.. you
earned a fine win sir
[22:39] Mike P-Metro City: if i would have lost that game i think i would have punched
this screen bro, well thanks for another great game Jay, you are one of the best bro
[22:40] JayTando: thank YOU bro
[22:40] JayTando: I hope I avoid you in the PLAYOFFS LOL
[22:40] JayTando: you'll beat me down
[22:40] Mike P-Metro City: i really don't want to play you again my self
[22:40] JayTando: hehehehehhe
[22:41] JayTando: I got no love early and you had all of it.. my lkove came a bit late...
a classic game brother
[22:42] Mike P-Metro City: yep that is how it went, i was thinking the same thing
[22:43] JayTando: you get all the credit for teh victory - well played my friend
[22:43] Mike P-Metro City: i really loved when my defender just stood in the end zone
while your guy cought the ball then took his time and wlked into the endzone
[22:44] JayTando: hahahhahahahhahaha
[22:44] JayTando: I was laughing at taht one- I thought "FINALLY I caught him in that
zone!" and he split it
[22:44] Mike P-Metro City: that was amazing, looked like my guy was picked, if you meant
to do that, that is one unreal play
[22:45] JayTando: no pick- just 2 WR's spillting 40 yards downfield
[22:45] JayTando: it was open a few other times early but of course your DL's blew my pass
protection away and sacked me a million times LOL
[22:45] JayTando: your D completely dominated me for 3-1/2 quarters no joke
[22:46] Mike P-Metro City: you caught me late in short and medium zones, yea the first 3
1/2 Q my team had the fbpro power then it went to your guys, it was classic game
[22:46] JayTando: nothing worked it was stuff city.. and your O plan against my D was
executd perfectly early on for a big lead
[22:47] Mike P-Metro City: i put in 3 plays for your defense, worked good early then stuff
city
[22:47] JayTando: it would have been a diffrent game had I not been so thoroughly
out-coached early on... I tip my hat to you bro
[22:47] Mike P-Metro City: did not have time to really scout well
[22:47] Mike P-Metro City: i was impressed at your adjustments bro
[22:48] JayTando: thank you sir
[22:48] JayTando: I had to blitz and it worked well- but you ripped off a few screens that
#$%^&! me late
[22:49] Mike P-Metro City: i totally wanted to run the ball jay, i know about your run
defense, but I new i had to run the ball some, bc you would be waiting for me to pass
[22:49] JayTando: yeah man that one sweep hurt- 36 yarder set up a TD for you
[22:50] Mike P-Metro City: that was big, took you a little to long to figure out what i
planned to do in this game,
[22:51] Mike P-Metro City: then after you did it was my offense getting stuffed
[22:52] JayTando: heheh
[22:53] Mike P-Metro City: if i had to do over again i would have run more inside, i would
have run the ball more, but what can you say, it was a game for the books, another close
game for us
[22:54] Mike P-Metro City: this definitly adds some spice to the playoff hunt and the
seeding, DAM if Miami could have pulled that out it would have been great
[22:54] JayTando: hey man it was fun, right?
[22:55] Mike P-Metro City: this game is the reason you play, great drama bro
[22:55] Mike P-Metro City: it was fun bro
[22:56] JayTando: that's right
[22:57] JayTando: you know the old saying "It's not wether you win or lose, it's how
you played the game" - well hey it is true it was good times
[22:57] JayTando: that's why I play
[22:58] Mike P-Metro City: can't beat it, having football almost year round, a lot of the
guys i know go crazy after the nfl season over, we are lucky to have fbpro
