| Game Summary (Larry Smith, NetFL Press)
The football gods smiled down upon the TB franchise this weekend. A wounded team was provided the perfect elixir, OA, at an opportune time.
Because, if it had been anyone else but the offensively challenged OA, every TB player would be changing their ring tones to Taps this morning. Luckily, TB 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 TB can exhale today is that OA was talent-deficient enough to lose control of a game they had a chance to win. They looked so blundering as they pushed a bag of cement during the game and tossed a frog in the microwave - metaphorically speaking.
The score of 53-45 in front of a jeering and hostile crowd for TB 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 blundering OA have been such a welcome sight in opposing stadiums for so long. TB sure caught them on the right day.
It's doubtful that the TB defenders could have corralled a grandmother strolling across the field with the same ease as they did the OA quarterback. "Instead of him looking down the field, he was looking to see who was coming," said Michael Griffin with 24 points on defense, a huge smile on his face. "Let's just say he got rattled a little bit."
Still, TB might not have escaped without a goto player to energize the offense - OA's very own Justin Blalock. He was relentlessly victimized, continuously torched play after play before the OA coaching staff mercifully pulled him, as he was as sharp as a sponge today.
"Picking on Justin Blalock was a part of the game plan," Peyton Manning with 53 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 OA to deliver. TB trails the all-time series 3-4 against OA. TB has a 1-4 regular season record. OA has a 3-2 regular season record.
There's no love lost between these two clubs. Tim Marshall said, "Gosh... why are you even wasting my time looking for a comment about them? They're kinda like cockroaches - to be sure, they occasionally crawl out of the woodwork to be seen by all, but usually, they're lurking somewhere out of sight." In response, the OA coach quipped, "That owner of theirs kinda reminds me of a Matt Millen and Michael Jackson hybrid... all bluster, melting face, questionable personal tastes... not exactly the kind of person I'd invite to my child's birthday party." |
