Week 6 Game Summary: Ugly, at least for Yellow. It was so ugly that I couldn't write about it for 2 days. Yellow simply couldn't get it going on offense. The QB was under pressure way too much. Many passes were off target early. Then when they finally began be on target receivers dropped or tipped them. I think every Yellow receiver dropped one catchable ball. Between the early missed throws and the later tips, Red had 9 interceptions (I'm pretty sure it was 9 and it certainly was a record). But in all fairness, that doesn't do Red justice. They played pretty good defense (hence the picks). The final score was 4-1* Red over Yellow. I asterisked the "1" because it came on a Cuba Libre that was totally clean but over which there was some confusion and the only defender who might have had a chance to prevent the long touchdown kind of quit on the play as a result.

The MVP could have easily been Red's defense but for the fact that Yellow dropped and tipped so many passes (at least two of which would have gone for touchdowns, another two that would have been first downs) and but for the play of one guy. This week we had 2 new players show up. While Ty had a nice game, Chris had a very impressive debut as Red's QB. Usually when guys come out it takes them a week or two to get the flow of the game, particularly when they try to play QB. Chris' biggest problem was getting used to the extra flag on the belts which was his bane for 3 or 4 sacks by Red. But what he did otherwise more than made up for it. I'm not sure but Chris may be the first player to ever throw for 2 TDs, catch another TD, have 2 picks, and return one of them for a touchdown - He scored 3 ways. Even if we've had someone score three different ways, I'm pretty sure it wasn't in that person's first game. In any case, congrats to Chris our week 6 MVP.

Game 7 Preview: Weather looks like a bit higher low and lower high with a chance for some light rain but remember, we play in the rain.
