[quote name='MasterAwesome']Wowsers...what an awesome victory. Not only did I WIN...but I miraculously got every single season goal I was in reach of!! I needed 3 passing TDs, 2 rushing TDs, 69 rushing yards with Stewart, and 9 tackles with Kuechly...and I got 3 passing TDs, 2 rushing TDs, 83 rushing yards with Stewart, and 9 tackles with Kuechly lol. And all without running up the score....the only extra liberty I took in reaching my goals was running an easy pick-six out of bounds at the 2-yard line so I could get my 2nd rushing TD with under 2 min left in the game (I was only up by 4 at that point).
No way in hell would I have guessed that my spot in the playoffs would have come down to the last game. I was thinking I was in line for a first round bye easy (the way my season was going up until about half-way through).
As for the game itself...pretty intense. I was down by 3 with about 2-3 minutes left and scored on a Newton run. Then I got the pick on the next drive and another TD run to go up by 11. The Saints were killing me with elaborate routes and cuts, so I had to send some pretty heavy blitzes to try and get to him before the routes could develop. His zone was also really tough for me to do much against...all of my passing TDs were long catch-and-runs from Steve Smith.[/QUOTE]
Steve smith killed me. Suprisingly, he didn't beat me over the top at all, it was just catches and missed tackles from my defenders. Other than that, my d played superb. Who knows what could have wend down if that pick 6 wasn't thrown
