Humbling...

After not having played ESPN NFL for several months, I courageously got Grumpy to play with me on Xbox Live. I stayed close for 1 quarter, but before it was all said and done, I was the victim of a sound 48-0 thrashing. Mr. McNabb had an astounding QB rating of 0.6 with a stellar 3.2 ypa. I forget how many yards rushing I had but I'm sure it was under 20. He had the Ravens and Kyle Boller had a rating of 43,200 or something close to that. Man, I used to be able to beat Grumpy about half the time. Now I'm lucky if he only scores a touchdown on half his plays...

Well the fact that my DBs caught more balls (8) than your WRs (less than 8) didn't help. You were definitely rusty at reading coverages but it's like riding a bike... Come play in the new league and knock the rust off.

See kids? This is what happens when you let Jamal Lewis (and Fred Taylor *shudder*) lose on All Pro AI.

Edit for further insight: The score was so lopsided mostly due to the turnovers and the associated field position. Additionally, the Eagles defense ran alot of high-risk plays that resulted in quite a few sacks but eventually Boller was able to exploit it with a little help from his friends. I'm not sure if I was "in the zone", if it was the lag or if All Pro actually moves slower but the ball seemed to float in the air forever and allowed the secondary to make a couple plays.
