Biggest games were from Jimmy with 119 combined yards, a TD, and 4 first downs and Canadian who had 93 yards on 15 receptions for a TD and 4 first downs. That's 15 catches on 17 targets. Jesse also had a nice day with 67 yards and TD. Poor Chenault got 51 yards, 2 first downs and is sure he was robbed of TD by Canadian. That was an interesting trend this week. There were 3 or 4 plays that went inside the 3 and then another player got the TD.

Nick 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
Troy 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Our defensive leaders were Street with 15 flags 2 picks and a defensed pass. Next came Canadian with 8 flags, 3 defensed passes, and a pick and Jesse who also had 3 defensed passes and a pick. Have to mention Matta with his safety given that it was the margin of victory. Nick also had a pick and a defensed pass.

MVP: There were quite a few high scoring players this week but the award goes to Canadian.

Here's an interesting tidbit: Matt Day has the best Win-Loss ratio for the season. What makes it interesting is that in this game, he played for Yellow for almost the whole game but then switched to Red at the end. Ironically, Red was winning at the point that he switched over but then Yellow came back to win it. By my way of thinking this counts as a loss since Yellow was losing when he switched to Red and then Yellow won the game without him. Sorry Matt.

Week 23 Game Summary

There was a game, though just barely. Those who thought the weather would be bad were mistaken. It was cold and misty but literally only rained twice and each episode lasted for about 40 seconds.

We played up at Round Rock and one of the things we noticed was that there was a LOT more grass. There were about 5 full fields and all of them were in better shape than the fields at McNeil.

R - Jesse, Biscuits, Mike, Raj, Nick
Y - Adam, Canadian, Chris, Kevin, Kishore

Nick was actually all-time QB until the last series when Biscuits took over and Nick played receiver.

Game starts 4 on 4 with all time QB. QB had to throw within 4 seconds or the play was dead. There were a couple of plays that got close to 4 seconds but nothing egregious. As you can imagine, no rush and no safety created a high yardage, high scoring game with a lot of stuff you could never do in a real game (5 called and executed lateral/pitch plays?!?!)

Yellow Drive #1
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Nick to Canadian for 9 yards - stopped by Jesse.
2-3 from the 17: Pass by Nick to Adam for 63 yards and the TD. Play was Trips formation with the inside receiver cutting out under the other two. Adam ran this route and then cut back across the field where Kevin sealed the corner with a great block on Biscuits. - Key block by Kevin.

1 - 0, Yellow.

Red Drive #1
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Nick to Biscuits intercepted by Kevin - stopped by Jesse. Pattern was a deep fly but the ball was underthrown. When Kevin turned to look for the ball, it literally landed in the crook of his elbow.

Yellow Drive #2
1-Goal from the 14: Pass by Nick to Chris for 14 yards and the TD. Chris catches the back of the ball in his fingertips. Tough way to catch the ball when it’s a little misty (though the ball has yet to touch the ground).

Red Drive #11
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Biscuits to Nick for 34 yards - stopped by Kevin. Nick fights for yards, bulling into Kevin who was not prepared for that type of action.
1-18 from the 38: Pass by Biscuits to Jesse for 5 yards - stopped by Canadian. Whole lot of running back and forth for not a lot of gain.
2-13 from the 33: Pass by Biscuits to Mike for 33 yards and the TD.

That's game: 10 - 8, Yellow.

This is what happens with no pressure besides the clock. Still, 17 TDs and over a thousand yards in a game with only 2 picks is pretty damn good.

Normally I start with the leading receiver but this week, I have to make special mention of Mike's performance. Mike had 8 catches on 12 targets for 154 yards, 2 first downs and 5, count'em 5, TDs. Career day for Mike.

Quite a few people had career days on offense, actually. Jesse too had a monster day with 140 combined yards for 3 first downs on 7 catches and pitch. Canadian's 121 yards for 2 TDs and a first down on 6 catches and a pitch. Biscuits had 98 yards, 2 first downs, and 2 TDs on 5 catches. Kishore had 87 yards for 2 first downs and 2 TDs on 5 catches. Raj had 147 yards for a TD and 2 first downs on 9 catches and a pitch.

But biggest career day went to Adam who playing now in his 15th year had caught all 11 passes thrown to him and had a pitch that totald 275 yards, 4 first downs, and 4 TDs.

I know. With 18 TDs, you're wondering if ANYBODY had a big day on defense. Well, Jesse had 8 flags and defensed pass. Chris, Adam, and Biscuits also each had a defensed pass. Kevin had pick and a defensed pass. Raj had 2 defensed passes. And our defensive leader was Canadian with 10 flags, 2 defensed passes, and a pick.

MVP: There are a lot of people who could get MVP this week and not just for their on field play. Lets start with Biscuits who brought 3 people out. Without them, there'd be no game. Kevin, Raj, and Kishore all deserve props for getting up early on a cold, potentially wet day to come play a different type of game than they're used to. Erik deserves mention for calling and, realizing that there was a chance we wouldn't be able to play without him, came out to play even though he had said earlier in the week that he wasn't feeling well and likely wouldn't be able to play. Even NICK came out in the cold and potentially wet weather and made sure everyone had a good time.

Having said that, there were two on field performances that stood out this week. Mike just kept catching balls and running for TDs. It was unreal. In any other week, you could pretty much guarantee that Mike would win. But not this week.

When I first started awarding an MVP each week, it was during a game where one player simply was unstoppable. No matter what he did, he was successful that game. Adam's performance on offense met that standard this week. Even if you don't consider the fact that Mike was not on the winning team (some people seem to think the MVP should always come from the winning team), using fantasy points, Adam came out ahead due to more yards, receptions and 1st downs. 11 for 11 for 275 yards and 4 TDs is a hell of a day.

Red Drive #12
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Street to Jesse for 46 yards - stopped by Cain. Jesse gets past Cain on an out and up but Street has to put up a perfect pass to get it over Cain but in stride for Jesse because Cain is so tall. Cain does an amazing job to prevent the TD.
1-6 from the 26: Pass by Street to Chenault for 3 yards - stopped by Sherman.
2-3 from the 23: Pass by Street to Mike for 6 yards - stopped by Cain. Bobbling catch. Cain pulls the flag before Mike has it so he just pushes him out of bounds when he secures the ball.

6 - 4, Red.

The game had 720 yards of passing and all our QBs had over 40% completion rates despite 7 interceptions between them. Interestingly, the QB with the highest completion percentage (Street) also had the highest number of picks (and no, I don't count picks as completed passes).

As you can imagine with 720 yards of passing (as well as 44 yards of rushing), there were a number of receivers with big days. Leading all receivers with 166 yards was Jesse which included a TD and 3 first downs. Kuzi had 4 catches for 78 yards with 2 TDs and 2 first downs. Matta had 3 receptions on 3 targets plus 2 rushess for 72 yards and a TD and a 1st down. Yellow was led by Chris with 6 catches on 7 targets for 128 yards and 2 TDs and 4 first downs - talk about Mr. Dependable. Cain also had a nice day with 73 yards and a TD and 1st down.

MVP: Jesse and Chris tied for fantasy points in the game but since Red won, its Jesse's award this week. Street, Kuzi, and Nick were also all in the running.
