Xpress has Train Wreck

What was suppose to be the game of the year the New England Patriots vs The Indianapolis Colts, turned out to be an Xpress train wreck! The Xpress came into the game as the 2ND highest scoring offense in the league, but could only muster 17 pt's against the San Antonio Warriors. The Xpress came in averaging 29 pts during the regular season and 38 pt's over the last 5 games were dismantled by the Warriors 44-17. The game started off fast with the Warriors going 6 plays 65 yards and a score to go up 7-0, it didn't take the Xpress long to score after that, the first play from scrimmage QB Fields hooked up with Rashard Manning on a 78 yard score to tie the score 7-7 with 11 mins left to in the first quarter. The Warriors then went back to work with a strong running game going 9 plays 68 yards to go up 13-7. The Xpress next series the offense moved the ball down to the Warriors 10 yard line and give the Xpress a 1st and goal, only to have QB Fields and the offense be called for 2 delay of game penalty's and the offense being hit with a false start penalty. And just like that the Xpress were looking at 1st and goal from the Warriors 25 yard line. The next 2 plays resulted in incompletions then on 3rd and goal Fields found all star T.E. David Steele on a 15 yard completion back to the 10 yard line, but on 4th and goal instead of going for the touchdown the Xpress opted to kicked a 27 yard F.G, and what should have been an Xpress 14-13 lead turned out to the Xpress being down 13-10, and the turning point of the game. From that point on it was all down hill! the Xpress secondary was exploited, all star Warrior QB Steven James threw 3 T.D's, and the Warriors kept the Xpress defense off balance the rest of the night mixing up the run with the pass and the Xpress defense which came in giving up 12pts a game could never find their rhythm and could not stop the scoring onslaught of the Warriors. The Xpress offense had a lot to do with the Xpress defense not finding it's comfort zone, QB Tre Fields put together another horrid game throwing 4 int and 2 fumbles, giving him 31 int's an N.M.L.F season record and 23 t.d's. Fields was under heavy pressure most of the ball game, and when he did manage to find time he constantly made bad reads resulting in several turnovers for the offense. The Xpress moved inside the Warriors 30 yard line on 6 occasions only to come away with 17pts. In the end the Warriors came away the victor and the Xpress leaving with what could have been. the Xpress finished with an overall record of 9-3 and 1 game away from the Magnum Cup after finishing the last 2 seasons at 6-4. In the off season the Xpress will strongly pursue free agents to upgrade at several key positions on offense and defense, with hopes that those new signings will bring the Magnum Cup to the Xpress in 2010.
