PFW, part II: An uninspiring Cowgirls win
As I was saying, the San Transexual FairyWhiners' offense was treating the Dallas Cowgirls' defense as if it were a Raggedy Ann© doll. The running game was shoving the ball up the Cowgirls' ass in the first half, averaging what must have been about six yards a pop. Tim Rattay looked like anything but the quarterback who suffered from a 21.0 QB rating against the Filthydelphia Beagles last week.
The Cowgirls' cornerbacks were making Arnaz Battle and Brandon Davis look like the second coming of Jerry Rice and Little Terri Owens. Davis easily ran away from Anthony Henry on an 89-yard catch-and-run.
Our running game was marginally effective early, but Drew Bledsoe was sorely harassed the entire first half. Of his two interceptions, one was run back for a touchdown and the other directly led to another TD. It made for a 15-point Whiner lead in the first half and a 12-point lead after three quarters. This from a team the Cowgirls were expected to handle fairly easily.
Even the kicking game screwed up on the first touchdown drive. José Cortez' PAT was bounced into the holder (sound familiar?) and was pulled off to the left. It was enough to earn Cortez a slap upside the head from lineman Larry Allen, though deep snapper Jon Condo was probably a more deserving target.
But Bledsoe overcame these errors to throw for 363 yards and two touchdowns, the last coming on a 14-yard toss to Keyshawn Johnson in the two-minute drill. The drive also feature a very nice looking 35-yard pass to Terry Glenn to get them into the red zone.
Rattay aided the Cowgirls' cause by throwing two interceptions in the fourth quarter, giving him 12 career 4Q picks - the last one by linebacker Dat Nguyen coming on the final Whiner drive as they were attempting to go for a tying field goal.
Yeah, it's a win. Yeah, it's a surprise, since I was expecting a Whiner squash. But all things considered, any other team yesterday would have drilled them - and one's waiting on the horizon right across the San Transexual bay.
The PFW will return Friday to discuss that.
