There's just some weird shit going down in the playoffs every year. Teams seem to play remarkably different than they have all year in some circumstances. I don't know if NJ boosted or what, but they weren't nearly that good all year.

As for our game.. What can I say.. We had a three score lead late, and the GLB Gods decided Tijuana wasn't going to lose. They go 24-0 on us in the 4th to pull out a 5 point win.

I have to blame myself.. I put too much faith in hb passing, screens, that sucked.. and a certain 5th CB that is inactive, has a terrible build, was matched up against Mac Sweetness because I randomize CB positioning based on energy, and they made us pay with long TDs.

Really disappointing.. If I had the run heavy mechanism in there, I'm sure it could have been a very different story, so I'm kicking myself.. but it's not like we handed it to Tijuana.. They went out and exploited our weaknesses and took it.. and Grats to both NJ/Tijuana. Yet another "Next Season" rallying cry for MN football.

Honestly if you watch the games you can see what happened to Goshen. In the game against Bakersfield the Blitz went almost 100% run. They have some good backs and totally controlled the clock. In the game against NJNH we didn't have the costly drops and turnovers the killed us in the first game. Not to mention Goshen had two costly fumbles. We've been able to score on most of the teams we have played this season so the points shouldn't really be a surprise.

There is a bit of ridiculousness to it though. The reason Bakersfield scored 34 on us was because someone decided to edit the Def AI and put us in a 3-3-5 the whole game. Your team just plain outscored us, and it doesn't help that we only attempted 19 passes.

"We've been able to score on most of the teams we have played this season so the points shouldn't really be a surprise."

Yeah, and which team was it again that held you to your lowest output of the season? ;O)

Sorry, had to try to get the focus on the upcoming game, not the ones that are already in the books. Should be a great matchup again.

Good game New Jersey. I really think we stole one from you in the regular season, and I was kind of worried about this one.
