I'm pretty sure that Dirty only won that game by 20 points.... there are 4 long touchdowns right there that come against Basic defenses.... aka defenses that get called when your a retard and don't delete inputs with no outputs in them.
Not to mention every other score they had was set up by plays against those basic defenses.
At least you give credit where credit is due, because without that mistake I am 100% certain tomlinator was bringing home the Gold.
Point was, I watched Bleeds build a team less than perfectly for exploiting a somewhat broken passing game the season before and troll all over everyone... so early that season me and Nif decided to hit it heavy, make 10 WRs, pass blocking linemen... and spam Pump Fake like everyone else....
What happened was a resulting unstoppable (can't say unstoppable because we did actually get held to 14 points in the AAT final game by MG) force of an offense that had nothing to do with scouting, or play calling, or anything but random chance says that 1/4 passes is going to get caught and if all your passes are deep.... WATCHA gonna do.
The only way to stop it was to 100% commit to the passing defense... which is something nobody ever tried besides MG in that AAT game... but it wasn't unstoppable (thus while obviously slants needed to be fixed and pumpfaking slightly nerfed.... the passing game in general didn't need to take the SLAMDAMNTHANKYOUMAM assraping that it took)
I do agree though that SOA was by far number 1, since I don't think a person in the world was expecting them to win even a single game in the playoffs... and were predicted to get blown out every game as far as the majority was concerned.
I think the Loretto run probably deserves the number 2 slot though cuz... I was friggin amazed by that since they hadn't even done very well in the regular season... PNP had at least played close games all season whether they had a low seed or not.Dirty had the perfect team to beat LB in Season 18. LB's strong passing attack (10 WR's) versus Dirty's stacked defense (12 DB's) against the pass. Regardless what happened to your DAI, we will never know what coulda-been. I may not have scored 55 but the way your defense was getting toasted/pumpfaked I still think we would have scored 40 at least!
A stat overlooked in that game was that Dirty had 26 Pass Deflections!! You weren't going anywhere through the air, and didnt have a versatile offense to threaten with a run game.
