(S25) - PT 5 - Playoffs? You Kidding Me?

[Jonny2x]

There was a lot of discussion flying around the Philadelphia locker room this week.  First off, we thought we were eliminated from the playoffs.  Then it was discovered we were still not only mathematically alive but that we had a real shot only needing two other teams to lose and to win a tough game against the Colorado Yeti.  As it happened the other two teams lost but we lost as well in a real heartbreaker.  We had taken a one point lead, only to give up a 50 yard kickoff return.  This lead to a field goal by the Yeti to take the lead back but we still had time.  Our all-everything quarterback was leading what looked to be a game winning and playoff spot clinching field goal drive.  We had a first and 15 after a killer “too many men on the field” penalty when Brock took the ball up the middle and found a seam for a big gainer.  He crossed the first down marker, assuring a first and ten very near field goal range when he was caught off guard by a vicious hit from the side by the rookie J Drake.  The ball popped loose and bounced around before being recovered by the Yeti and 3 rushes later, that was ball game.
