There are several reasons why that specific play was lucky...
1. Most level 1 PW QB's don't have the arm strength to throw the ball that far.
2. Most level 1 PW QB's don't have the accuracy to hit a deep WR perfectly in stride.
3. Most level 1 PW WR's would either drop that pass, or wouldn't catch it in stride and not loose speed. Any loss in speed would let the CB tackle the WR after the catch.
4. Most of the time the FS would help cover WR1, not WR3, and thus that catch wouldn't likely have happened.
5. Most level 1 PW CB's are not that slow.
Add all those together, no one can honestly say that single play wasn't a lucky one going for the TD. A lot of things clicked right for you on that play. You could watch every Pee-Wee game this 1st week, doubt you will see another play like that.
I have gotten lucky and beaten better teams, and have gotten lucky to beat lesser teams. Luck happens and a good(id humble) owner/coach will acknowledge it. That's all LE was saying.
You won that game on a lucky play, plain and simple. It happens to all of us, myself included. But to act like it wasn't lucky and even get defensive when others say it was lucky isn't going to sit well with others. And it's not a matter of respect, if that happened to LE, myself, or any well known owner/coach, it would still be lucky.

I havent once said that play was somewhat lucky for pee wee Gerr. lolu for thinking this. What got me was you and LE saying my entire win was lucky. I realize the sim does crazy shit and obviously that game could have gone either way. I have had success in all levels of GLB (Pee Wee - WL) so I have seen my fair share of WTF moments in this game but seriously just say GG and move on. You guys are great at this game and I have never had nothing but respect for you guys. LE and I are cool now, we talked through PMs.

It was a great game to watch. Loved the show. Both teams ran all kinds of plays. When I saw the time outs being called and we had the ball late in the 4th, I thought we lost in overtime.

I think a lot of the confusion came from how people worded things, or read them. Consider these 2 sentences on this subject...
"You were lucky to win"
"You won in a lucky way"
The 1st one implies that you shouldn't have won and it took luck to win. The 2nd one says that the way in what you won was lucky, but has no implied expectation on the outcome.
I think you took LE's and my comments like the 1st one, which I could see your anger. Problem is what we meant was the 2nd one.
Just food for thought...
