Detroit Pigskin Dynasty Season Recap: Part 1

It is officially August and we are approximately (ALREADY) 3 weeks away from the live draft.

Here is a quick recap on last year's playoff results:

#2  Todd Losey        102.56

#3  Matt Pietrangelo  179.96

Matt Pietrangelo's team scored an astounding PLAYOFF RECORD 179.96 points.  

He was a beneficiary of Jamaal Charles's record breaking performance of 50+ points.

  Final statline on the day for Charles was 20 rush yards, 195 rec yards, and FIVE total touchdowns.

Todd Losey's playoff changes were smashed quicker than poor Price "The Viper" Oberyn's skull.

This set up another history making moment...

Either the #1 seed in the league would actually win the Super Bowl, or the Detroit Pigskin Dynasty would have its first two-time champion...not to mention the possibility of the "Pietrangelo Bowl!"

We had story lines galore!

#1  Patrick Fahey          96.02

#4  Steve Pietrangelo  113.02

Let me refresh your memory about the ending to this playoff matchup.  

We had a good old fashioned MONDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN! 

 Fahey had Reggie Bush vs. Steve had Justin fucking kicker Tucker! 

 Steve had a 10.1 point lead going into the showdown.

On the EIGHTH PLAY of the game, Reggie Bush already had 40 yards rushing and a TD!

WE WERE TIED!!

Next series Baltimore went 3 and out and first play for the Lions Reggie Bush had a 19 yard carry.

Fahey erased that deficit QUICKLY and now pulls into the lead.

And then.................

Justin Tucker 29 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 24 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 32 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 49 Yard Field Goal

Justin Tucker 53 Yard Field Goal

And then..............

Justin Tucker kicked a 61 Yard ( SIXTY-ONE YARD ) field goal to finish the game.

Not only did Justin Tucker single-handily defeat the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, he kicked, and kicked, and booted Fahey right out of any chance of winning the Superbowl.

Which brings up the most peculiar question:  Which playoff loss was more painful?

Having your chances shattered quickly courtesy of 5 TD's from a running back?

or

Getting field goal kicked, repeatedly, into submission?

Regardless, the results set up the brother vs. brother match up.

Detroit Pigskin Dynasty will be guaranteed to have the first ever 2-time champion.
