Week 7 Summary - A great game. One of the best of the season - close but great play on both teams. Final score was 4-3 Red over Yellow but Yellow was in it right up until the end. There were a number of players who could have been named MVP. Barry made his first appearance of the year and had a number of defensed passes (at least one of which would have been a TD), good coverage in general and a descent offensive performance for Red as well. Jimmy also making his season debut and had two nifty TD catches but had to leave after about 40 minutes. Had he stuck around, he might well have gotten the award (given the way he was playing).

On Yellow, Travis had all three of of the team's TDs. One was a nifty 15 yard run up the middle and another was a huge 60 yarder that involved an extra 25 yards of running across the field and then a neat shift at the end that caused the final defenders to miss him. It was a very, very strong performance. While a player on the losing team can be MVP, in this case I think that the award needs to go to another player.

Nick had one of his best games in a very long time. Its not that he's been playing badly, its that this week he really was on the money. He was getting rid of the ball quickly and accurately, short, long, medium - it didn't matter. His two TDs to Jimmy were beautiful touch passes placed perfectly.

Week 8 Preview - The weather has finally changed and Fall has arrived. Its a bit early to get a forecast but so far it looks like we'll have cool, dry weather again. More importantly, I believe Week 8 will be our first week on the real fields. McNeil's last game is this week and they will not be in the playoffs so we should be clear to use the full-sized practice field. I'm thinking the running game should open up a bit with a wider field. The little field we have to use early in the year is too small to allow an effective running game for the number players we have.
