I utterly dominated my last opponent in MFN-19 for three quarters only to watch them put up a 28 point fourth quarter. I'm really sick of game planning and working my roster and doing everything "right" to win only to see the some bullshit fourth quarter comeback time and time again:
https://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/box/view/1792JDB needs to reward the players that put in the work and explain why these happen so frequently. Ridiculous.

To really illustrate how much bullshit this loss was. Let's look at important statistical measures of offensive and defensive success.
Through three quarters
My Opponent
Yards: 183
Plays: 42
First downs: 9
Conversion rate: 3/10
Points: 7
My team
Yards: 369
Plays: 53
First downs: 17
Conversion rate: 4/10
Points: 28
After the fourth quarter
My opponent
Yards: 400 (for good measure my opponent tripled his running yards total 16 -> 48 in the fourth as well)
Plays: 72
First downs: 22
Conversion rate: 5/13 (2 for 3 in the fourth quarter)
Points: 35
My team
Yards: 476
Plays: 70
First downs: 21
Conversion rate: 4/13 (0 for 3 in the fourth quarter)
Points: 31
That means in the fourth quarter my opponent ran 30 --- 30!!! --- plays to my 17. Outgained me 217 to 107. Picked up 13 first downs to my 4, including converting on two of three of his third down attempts.
If we looked back at all of the other fourth quarter comebacks, I'm sure we would see numbers that are equally ridiculous.
