There were a number of outstanding performances this week. Paul had 84 yards and a TD as well as 5 flags and a defensed pass. Erik had 94 yards and 2 TDs. But the best performances were probably on Red. Jimmy had 87 yards and 2 TDs plus 2 defensed passes and a pick on defense. Cain had 42% completion (anything over 40% is good in our game), 392 yards (200 is good) and 5 TD passes (also very good) - the 2 picks were unfortunate but not that unusual in our game. But it was probably Kyler who had the biggest performance. He had 173 yards and 2 TDs plus 4 flags, a defensed pass, and a pick. While it may not show up in the individual stats, Chris also appeared to be having a monster game rushing the QB.

MVP this week is a tie between Kyler and Cain. Both racked up numbers only rarely seen in our game and both deserving of the honor.

Week 30 Preview - I think week 29 (as well as several other recent games) has shown that size will generally beat speed. The pass rush has become unbelievably important in our game and will need to be something that we try to balance. Can you imagine having Chris and Mark both rushing the QB (with or without a 3rd rusher)? I think I faced it once and its nearly unstoppable.

Week 28 Game Summary - Why is it that whenever we have a crappy turn out (like last week), the next week we get monster turnout? Can't we just get good turn out every week? Well, I can tell you one participant who showed up uninvited and had a bad effect on the game, the wind. It was incredibly gusty and the QB completion percentages show the effects.

Cain has to leave so we go to 8 on 8 and the QB can't run anymore.

Yellow 10
1-4 from the 21: Pass by Kris to Jesse for 30 yards - stopped by Adam. This play was made by a huge block by Jimmy who knocked Chris into Erik, taking them both out of the play and springing Jesse for an extra 15 yards.

2-Goal from the 16: Pass by Kris to Jimmy - incomplete. Defensed by Chris.
3-Goal from the 16: Run by Kris for -5 yards - stopped by Best Man. Best Man gets the sack reaching up from the ground.
4-Goal from the 21: Pass by Kris to Chenault - incomplete. Adam's one moment of glory. Kris threads a beautiful pass in and Chenault is in the act of securing the ball and taking his first step when Adam sticks a hand in and forces it out. A touchdown saving play. Turnover on downs.

Normally, I don't award an MVP for a tie game unless there was a really dominant performance. While Cain's performance was not really dominant, its worth pointing out that before he left, Red was up 3-1 and the game ended 3-3 (and nearly 4-3, Yellow). Plus, he called a 3 TD performance in his Evite response: "Go ahead and put me down for a 3 TD performance. Not sure if it will be at QB or WR this week. Either/Or " How good is that?

There was some other nice performances. Mark was a feared ball carrier. Leo had 71 rushing-receiving yards (next closest were Cain and Ethan at 47 and Paul at 45). Jesse had 5 flags and 3 defensed passes (at least one that probably saved a TD). Paul also had a big day on defense with 6 flags and 3 defensed passes. Jimmy's performance was bigger than his stats: huge blocks as well as his pick-6 were big contributions.

Week 29 Preview - Less than 18 but at least 12 : )

Chris, did it turn out that you broke your nose?

Link of the week - Normally, I don't do political links but if you've never seen this, it is honestly one of the most spectacular pieces of political commentary/satire I've ever seen: Steven Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner tearing apart the media and the administration. This is a really intense presentation. The audience is generally quiet because they were in shock.

Week 27 Summary - Nothing. No game.

My thanks to Casey who RSVP'd as a yes and showed up on time and to Jesse who doesn't have email but who showed up on time anyway. Thanks also to Chenault who at least called at 9:20 to say he was on his way.

Week 28 Preview - Shit, after this week who knows. It may have been mid 40s and it may have been raining a bit but we played in much worse earlier this year. We certainly could have played had we had more than 4 people.

Link of the Week - No link for you!

Week 27 Game Summary: Interesting game this week. It was really tight for the first 10 possessions and then suddenly the game reached 4.5-1 before finishing up at a more respectable 4.5 - 3. Really though, it was not that close. One team's offense couldn't get anything going. Fun game to be sure but frustrating to be in a game at 1.5 - 1 through 10 possessions and then suddenly to be out of the game.

On to the play by play . . .

Game starts 5 on 5 - 1 man line with 3 eligibles.

Yellow 1
1-15 from the 10: Pass by Tom to Erik for 18 yards - stopped by Cain. 10 yard cross that Erik turns up the field.
1-22 from the 28: Pass by Tom to Casey for 4 yards - stopped by Matt.
2-18 from the 32: Pass by Tom to Casey - incomplete. Defensed by Matt who had perfect position on a slightly underthrown ball.
3-18 from the 32: Pass by Tom to Mark. Mark dives to catch the ball on 10 yard out but isn't touched down. So he gets up, makes Matt miss and then outruns Mike to the endzone. 1-0 Yellow.

1-15 from the 10: Pass by Cain to Jimmy - incomplete. Good coverage by Tom.

Yellow 6
1-7 from the 32: Flea-flicker back to Tom who throws long to Casey. Pauly comes off his man and comes across the field to pick the ball with a leaping grab. Pauly then has a very nice run back with a spin move to get past Chenault and Mark gets the stop close to the original line of scrimmage.

Chase and Kade leave Yellow and Mike joins Yellow to make the game 6 on 6.

Yellow 7
1-Goal from the 10: Pass by Erik to Chenault - incomplete. Ball wide.
2-Goal from the 10: Pass by Erik to Chenault - incomplete. Play was intended to be a Cuba Libre but Chenault pops it back without actually gettting possession so when it hits the ground, the play is deemed an incomplete pass.

Red 8

1-Goal from the 20: This play pretty much summarized Red's luck with offense in this game. Adam comes out of the backfield on play action, the other two receivers stay in to block. Adam gets behind the defense and runs to the back right corner of the endzone where Cain throws a beautiful pass. Then at the last moment, Erik comes leaping in and picks the ball. Adam gets the stop for a touchback.

Yellow 14

Outstanding Performances
Tom certainly had a nice day at QB with nearly 50% completion rate and 262 yards of passing. Chenault's 5 receptions for 102 yards was pretty good too - anytime someone has 100 yards in our game, that's a very nice day.

On Red, Ethan had a nice day with 3 Sacks and Cain's 2 sacks and 4 defensed passes (all while rushing) was very nice too. I can't say anything nice about Red's offense other than a couple nice plays because the leading receivers had 2 (yes, 2) receptions. Which brings us to the most outstanding performance of them all: Mark's.

Mark had 5 receptions for 74 yards and a TD. He also had a pick and 8 flag grabs. What made his performance the stand out and the one deserving of MVP is that of his 8 flags, 5 were sacks including a safety. He also had another flag for a safety as well. His 3 sacks in a row are almost certainly a record. I don't have stats before this year but I can't remember every seeing that occur.

Week 28 Preview - No sacks for Mark since he's not coming out.
