| Game Summary (Larry Smith, NetFL Press)
The football gods smiled down upon the TH franchise this weekend. A wounded team was provided the perfect elixir, PC, at an opportune time.
Because, if it had been anyone else but the offensively challenged PC, every TH player would be changing their ring tones to Taps this morning. Luckily, TH ran into an opponent with much less margin for error than themselves, or they'd no doubt be nursing the losing column with yet another embarrassing loss.
One big reason that TH can exhale today is that PC was talent-deficient enough to lose control of a game they had a chance to win. They looked so unimposing as they coerced the meat grinder during the game and tossed a frog in the microwave - metaphorically speaking.
The score of 20-17 in front of a jeering and hostile crowd for TH was aided by a ferocious defense, but even larger was the help provided by a reeling opponent that constantly pushed the wrong personnel buttons. No wonder the unimposing PC have been such a welcome sight in opposing stadiums for so long. TH sure caught them on the right day.
It's doubtful that the TH defenders could have corralled a grandmother strolling across the field with the same ease as they did the PC quarterback. "Instead of him looking down the field, he was looking to see who was coming," said Julian Peterson with 16 points on defense, a huge smile on his face. "Let's just say he got rattled a little bit."
Still, TH might not have escaped without a goto player to energize the offense - PC's very own Arnold Harrison. He was relentlessly victimized, continuously torched play after play before the PC coaching staff mercifully pulled him, as he was clearly showing some ill-effects from his intestinal parasite.
"Picking on Arnold Harrison was a part of the game plan," Damon Huard with 29 points on offense said. "We should have been doing it more in the first half of the game."
How true. When a NetFL team needs a pick-me-up, they can usually count on PC to deliver. TH leads the all-time series 9-5 against PC. TH has a 2-10 regular season record. PC has a 8-4 regular season record (0-1 in this year's playoffs).
"Dem's fightin' woids!": Fuel was added to the fire during the two teams' post game news conferences. David Markfield grumbled, "Nah, I don't have anything against them. They're kinda like little bunnies or maybe pop warner rejects.... kinda cute and all, but pretty impotent when it comes to football." In response, the PC coach exclaimed, "I suppose every league needs a doormat. I feel some degree of scorn for them to be sure, but mostly, I just shake my head and watch them bumble their way from game to game with a sense of detached amusement." |
