3-13 from the 33: Pass by Cain to BB - 10 yard gain - stopped by Zieser. Nice throw under pressure with Cain pumping and then pulling the ball down to throw it side-arm under the defender in front of him. Also a good catch with Treadaway in very tight coverage.

Yellow Drive #1
1-17 from the 23: Pass by Nick to Paul - 5 yard gain - stopped by Canadian.
2-12 from the 28: Nick throws the ball away. QB pressure by Ricky and Leo.
3-12 from the 28: Pass by Nick to Paul - 52 yard gain and the TD. Great throw by Nick who had 2 defenders on him as he threw this ball deep to Paul on Go-Route. 1 - 0, Yellow.

Red Drive #2
1-12 from the 8: Cain - sacked by Nick. Loss of 7 yards.
2-19 from the 1: Run by Cain for 16 yards - stopped by Zieser.
3-3 from the 17: Pass by Cain to Adam - 27 yard gain - stopped by Treadaway.
1-16 from the 36: Option play. Cain pitched back to Leo but the ball hit the ground for a loss of 7 yards. Miscommunication. Leo thought it was a straight pitch play and Cain wanted an option so when Leo saw Cain streaking wide with the ball, he didn't expect the pitch.
2-23 from the 37: Cain - sacked by Chenault. Loss of 3 yards.
3-26 from the 34: Pass by Cain to Leo - incomplete. Ball long.

4-1 from the 19: Pass by Nick to Zieser - incomplete. QB pressure by Adam. Ball short.
5-1 from the 19: Run by Nick for 3 yards - stopped by Adam. Yes that was really a 5th down. I'm quite certain of it because we had 4 plays clearly run from the 19 on the recorder and the last one was Nick getting to the 22 which would then created a 1st down. Unfortunately, I then missed a couple plays because the next play recorded is a punt by Nick to Leo. I am assuming they were incomplete passes but there might have been a sack or defensed pass in there.

Glad both QBs were able to finish the season with decent stats. Still, how weird is it that one team had 5 TDs and only one of them came on a pass?

Speaking of running TDs, when was the last time we had a game with 4 rushing TDs and only one was a QB run? 2 were straight out runs and one was a Cuba-libre. 2 Players had over 100 combined yards - Burleson who may not have showed up much during the year but sure showed up today with 126 yards and a TD and Canadian who had 106 yards. Next we had Leo and Paul with 2 TDs each (one rushing and one receiving) and 95 and 85 yards respectively. Treadaway also had 91 yards.

Lot of defense in this year's finale. Total of 15 defensed passes, 3 picks (one for a TD), and 13 sacks. As you'll see in the season-ending stats, defense has really stepped up this year. Jason had 6 sacks and a defensed pass. Adam had 3.5 sacks and 3 defensed passes. Cain had 2 picks (including the Pick-Six). Canadian had a pick and a rather painful defensed pass. Paul had 4 defensed passes and Charles and Zieser each had 2 defensed passes.

Special Teams Stats:

Awards:

MVP - Cain with a very nice offensive and defensive performance.

Offensive Player of the Game - Tie for Leo and Paul who had virtually identical stats: 5 touches for 2 TDs, and 1 first down and 95 and 85 yards respectively.

Defensive Player of the Game - Chenault - 6 sacks is an amazing performance. Adam had a great game too but sacks are worht more than defensed passes since the sack comes with a loss of yards.

Wins and Losses

Week 37 provides an opportunity to discuss how I score wins and losses. You can score it however you like at home but this is how I look at it.

Scenario #1: Red is beating Yellow the whole way. If a player leaves Red before the end of the game, he still gets the W because the team was leading when he left and never lost the lead. If a player leaves Yellow to join Red (maybe Yellow had an extra guy), he doesn't get the W because Red was already winning but he doesn't get the L because he left the losing team before the game was over.

Scenario #2: Yellow is beating Red when a player leaves Yellow to go home. If Red ends up winning the game, the player doesn't get a W or L because the team was winning when he left and didn't lose until later.

Scenario #2a: In this case, Yellow was winning when the player left the game. Then Red takes the lead and Yellow comes back to win it, the player who left does not get the W because he wasn't on the team when it took the final lead.

Scenario #3: Red is beating Yellow and a player switches from Red to Yellow. Yellow then goes on to beat Red. The player who switched gets the W because he was on the team when it took the lead.

The same basic scenarios work for a player who shows up late. If the team he joins was already winning and never loses that lead, the new player doesn't get the W. If the team was losing when he shows up and never gained the lead once the late player joined the team, the player doesn't get the L. Any lead status change that occurs while a player is on a team is attached to that player.

The same concepts also work if the player leaves, joins, or changes while the game is tied. He is partially responsible for anything that happens through the rest of the time he's on the team and gets credit or blame for it.

Now some would say that if a player joins a team that was losing and the team wins but that player "didn't do shit" as evidenced by the stats, I'll have some interesting stats to share with you at the end of the year. Anyone who has played line knows that sometimes the guy who doesn't get the sacks is a huge part of the reason the sacks occur. Sometimes the cornerback who does nothing but cover a guy tight is the reason the sacks occur. So just because a player doesn't get a stat doesn't mean he wasn't a contributor.
Week 37 Game Summary:

Challenging game with the weather but it's nice to have a game where the lead changes a couple times to show how competitive it is.

3-15 from the 35: Run by Nick for 25 yards - stopped by Treadaway. Key block by Gary.
1-Goal from the 10: Pass by Nick to Adam - incomplete. Adam saw Street break on the ball and shifted from receiver to defender planning to chase Street down the sideline. Street missed the ball and so Adam was not in a position to catch the ball.

3-Goal from the 10: Pass by Nick to Canadian - 4 yard gain - stopped by Cain.
4-Goal from the 6: Pass by Nick to Canadian standing in the back of the endzone. Zieser comes streaking across under Canadian and makes a one-handed grab for the TD. That's three very nice one-handed grabs in this game between Zieser, Cain, and Gary. Street leaves and the game drops to 8 on 8. 4 - 3.5, Red.

Kudos to Street for completing over 50% of his passes in very ugly weather. Kudos to Nick for completing 38% of his in more challenging weather (remember Street left at 10:50 and the game went until 11:30). I tend to think the low yardage was caused more by the field conditions than the fact that we were 9 on 9 for most of the game with a lot of QB running.

1-5 from the 35: Pass by Nick to Adam - incomplete. Ball wide and high.
2-5 from the 35: Pass by Nick to Day - 18 yard gain - stopped by Paul. Nick rolls out like he's going to run and pulls up to hit Day coming across the field parallel with Nick's sprint-out.
1-7 from the 27: Pass by Nick to Charles - incomplete. Deep ball but tough to catch coming in right over his head.
2-7 from the 27: Run by Adam for 12 yards - stopped by Frank and Paul. Option pitch and Nick released literally as a defender had a hand on his flag.

2-3 from the 17: Pass by Nick to Charles - 5 yard gain - stopped by BB.
1-18 from the 22: Pass by Nick to Charles - incomplete. Ball overthown. On the Wishbone Option formation. Charles had gotten a step deep.

3-19 from the 21: Pass by Nick to Canadian - incomplete. Ball long.
4-19 from the 21: Nick - sacked by Chris. Loss of 0 yards. By this time, Yellow players are arguing a great deal over missed sacks, picks, bad routes, broken protection, and the like.

2-Goal from the 18: Run by Cain for 12 yards - stopped by Zieser.

1-7 from the 27: Pass by Nick to Chenault - 0 yard gain - stopped by Jarrett.
2-7 from the 27: Pass by Nick to Canadian - 27 yard gain and the TD. Nick hit Canadian literally at the line of scrimmage with Canadian not moving. Canadian then squeezes through 3 defenders, makes a nice stiff-arm/spin at about the 10 on a 4th defender and gets by for the TD. Nicest ball carrying of the day and that's saying something considering some of the nice moves Cain made to rack up big yardage. 4 - 2, Red.

Red Drive #7
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Cain to Hege - defensed by Treadaway. Deep ball.
2-12 from the 8: Pass by Cain to Hege - defensed by Canadian.

1-19 from the 21: Nick - sacked by Frank. Loss of 2 yards.
2-21 from the 19: Pass by Nick to Zieser - defensed by BB. Ball was a little behind and actually would have been picked by Paul at Safety had BB not knocked it down.
3-1 from the 19: Pass by Nick to Zieser - incomplete.

1-7 from the 33: Run by Nick for 14 yards - stopped by Jarrett. Key block by Adam.
1-13 from the 33: Pass by Nick to Chenault - -4 yard gain - stopped for loss by Frank. Chenault pitched back to Nick even though Nick was in the pocket and not expecting to get the ball - hence the loss on the play.
2-17 from the 37: Pass by Nick to Canadian - 6 yard gain - stopped by Jarrett.
3-11 from the 31: Pass by Nick to Treadaway - defensed by BB.

4-12 from the 32: Run by Cain for 13 yards - stopped by going out of bounds.
1-Goal from the 19: Pass by Cain to Paul - intercepted by Canadian - stopped by Paul.

Yellow Drive #9
1-13 from the 7: Loss of down. Supposed to be a run so Adam came off the line and was 10 yards downfield blocking even though Nick decided not to run.
2-13 from the 7: Run by Nick for 5 yards - stopped by Hillis.
3-8 from the 12: Nick throws the ball away. QB pressure by Hillis.
4-8 from the 12: Pass by Nick to Canadian - 9 yard gain - stopped by Paul.
1-19 from the 21: Run by Nick for 7 yards - stopped by Jarrett. Jarrett held downfield near the runner ends the play.
2-12 from the 28: Pass by Nick to Zieser - 7 yard gain - stopped by Hege.
3-5 from the 35: Pass by Nick to Canadian - -2 yard gain - stopped by Cain.
4-7 from the 33: Pass by Nick to Zieser - 47 yard gain and the TD. Broken play but great protection for Nick who hits Zieser getting behind the defense and improvising a deep post. 4.5 - 4, Yellow.

Jarrett and Zieser leave so the game drops to 7 on 7.

Red Drive #10
1-12 from the 8: Run by Cain for 22 yards - stopped by Nick.
1-10 from the 30: Pass by Cain to BB - 18 yard gain - stopped by Charles.

1-Goal from the 13: Pass by Cain to Paul - 1 yard gain - stopped by Canadian.
2-Goal from the 12: Pass by Cain to Frank - intercepted by Treadaway - stopped by Frank. Possibly play of the game. Treadaway basically goes over Frank and takes the ball from him.

That's game: 4.5 to 4, Yellow.

Passing Stats:
Players Comp Drops Attempts % Yards TDs INTs Sacked Yds Lost Rating
Cain 20 1 42 47.62% 201 3 2 7 -54 65.67
Nick 20 0 41 48.78% 277 4 2 3 -2 83.08

Very good numbers on the day for both QBs with each completing 20 of roughly 40. Nick had more passing yards but a lot of that was because Cain got sacked 7 times (which surprises me given how many times Adam got there but missed the flag and he took off for another 13 yards). Not a ton of passing yards but enough to keep the game fun.

Two triple digit ball carriers this week and one was a QB! Cain had 152 on the ground. His 12 carries resulted in a TD and 6 first downs. BB had 125 yards on 9 receptions that went for 2 TDs and 3 first downs. He also had a key block on one of Cain's runs that turned a potential sack into a 30 yard gain.

Awards:
MVP - Canadian wins it this week. For those of you who are not familiar with my basic methodology here it is: 1) The MVP almost always comes from the winning team (there have been some rare exceptions). 2) I look for the player who dominated the most. Someone who simply was unstoppable or making all the clutch plays. 3) If there isn't one of those, I look for someone who had a very good game on both offense and defense - we play an iron man game so I like to reward people who are tops on both sides of the ball in a game. 4) I also use a fantasy point system sometimes to help make decision.

Offensive Player of the Game - Cain wins this one. While BB also had a huge game and Nick also put up solid numbers (including 78 yards on the ground), I think that Cain deserves it this week.

Defensive Player of the Game - Treadaway. While Adam had more fantasy points and similar stats, Chris' game ending, spectacular pick puts is gives him the award this week.
