First the Chargers get beat by the Chefs and thusly eliminated from playoff contention. That...was okay, understandable, almost acceptable. So my second-favorite team beat my favorite team. I'm a bit peeved by the game itself -- playing conditions were miserable to the point where if Dante Hall or LaDainian Tomlinson changed direction, they fell. It wasn't a good game to watch, and therein, I think, lay my base disappointment. That and the fact that the Chefs' playoff hopes rest on Pittsburgh losing to Detroit, an upset of Biblical proportions, as well as the Chefs beating Cincinnati, the Chargers losing to Denver, a rain of frogs on Miami and I think a meteor striking Cleveland. I'd be happy to see the Chefs get that last playoff spot. But they won't.
Switch gears to my last surviving fantasy team (in NUFFLE, as the 4FL Caribou Vikings did not survive the wild-card), as the Pretty Birds were down 28 points to the Dayton Raptors going into Monday Night Football. We only had two players in the game, but they were scoring machine Corey Dillon and my vote for Gutsiest Man in the NFL, Laveranues Coles. Dillon chipped in a 19-point performance (Yahoo! predicted 11), and Coles managed to grab two touchdowns -- including one last-minute meaningless struggle-for-the-goal-line score -- to add another 19 points, 12 more than Yahoo! predicted. I'm sorry,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bishop282, that even took me by surprise.
This leaves the Birds and the Dairyland Cheeseheads one game behind the 12-5 Aircap Aviators with one game remaining in the season. Aircap takes on the 4-12 East Coast Legion in the final week, while the Birds and Cheese play each other for -- at worst -- second place. If the Cheese win and the Avs lose, the Cheese would win the tiebreaker on points. It's almost enough to make me wanna throw the game. Almost. But all things being equal, I prefer winning.
