Week 33 Game Summary:

Yellow - Adam, Canadian, Charles, Gary, Matta, & Paul
Red - BB, Chenault, Hillis, Nick, Rob, Treadaway, & Zieser

Funny how the weather starts ugly and yet we start playing 10 minutes earlier than we have in all of 2009. Not only that but the weather turned out to be GREAT. It stopped raining just before we started playing and the sun was coming out an hour later. If you stayed home due to weather, you missed a good one for no reason.

Game was 6 on 6 - wind was not a factor worth tracking this week.

Yellow Drive #1
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Canadian to Paul - 72 yard gain and the TD. Key block by Adam. Paul ran a straight fly getting the ball at the 25 and Adam came over on a slant to block the safety after the catch and then Paul was gone. 1 - 0, Yellow.

Red Drive #1
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Zieser to Treadaway - incomplete. Ball wide.

Red Drive #2
1-18 from the 22: Pass by Zieser to BB - incomplete. BB comes in motion on set and they fake the handoff. BB continues on a slant to the outside and the ball is thrown to him. We saw this play or variations of it several times this game to good effect.
2-18 from the 22: Pass by Zieser to Hillis - 10 yard gain - stopped by Paul. Screen pass.
3-8 from the 32: Pass by Zieser to Chenault - 2 yard gain - stopped by Charles.

1-11 from the 31: Pass by Canadian to Matta - incomplete.
2-11 from the 31: Canadian - sacked by Rob. Loss of 1 yards. And now our third new player makes a big play early.

3-2 from the 22: Pass by Canadian to Gary - dropped.
4-2 from the 22: Run by Adam for 2 yards - stopped by Rob. Surprise run. Adam was shadowing Canadian on a roll out with the intent of drawing up the defense so Canadian could put it over the top to Matta. Instead, as he gets a little past the slot position, he hands it to Adam and says "take it". Adam nearly screws it up by cutting back rather than going for the corner and has to fight through 2 defenders to pick up the 1st.
1-Goal from the 20: Pass by Canadian to Adam - 13 yard gain - stopped by going out of bounds. Adam caught the ball on a deep drag near the sideline and couldn’t turn the corner.

2-7 from the 13: Pass by Canadian to Paul - 51 yard gain - stopped by Treadaway. Paul was streaking up the sideline and Treadaway had just enough angle that by making a dive at full speed, he saved the TD.

Yellow Drive #11
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Canadian to Adam - intercepted by BB - stopped by Adam. Adam hesitated on his route because BB was too tight and didn't realize that the ball was already in the air. Had he continued the route, it would have likely been a defensed pass by BB.

Red Drive #11
1-5 from the 25: Pass by Nick to BB - dropped.

1-18 from the 38: Pass by Canadian to Matta - 38 yard gain and the TD. Key block by Adam. Matta turns in a big play with a little help from a block that caused a missed flag. 6 - 4, Yellow.

Red Drive #12
1-12 from the 8: Pass by Nick to Chenault - defensed by Adam. Adam should have picked it.
2-12 from the 8: Pass by Nick to Chenault - 8 yard gain - stopped by Charles.
3-4 from the 16: Pass by Nick to Treadaway - 6 yard gain - stopped by Charles.
1-18 from the 22: Pass by Nick to Chenault - incomplete. Ball long.
2-18 from the 22: Pass by Nick to BB - 10 yard gain - stopped by Canadian.
3-8 from the 32: Pass by Nick to BB - 11 yard gain - stopped by Canadian.
1-17 from the 37: Pass by Nick to Treadaway - incomplete. Ball just a step out of reach.
2-17 from the 37: Pass by Nick to Chenault - 4 yard gain - stopped by Adam and Charles.
3-13 from the 33: Pass by Nick to Chenault - intercepted by Charles - stopped by BB. Charles makes a great play on the ball and takes it away from Chenault. In the process, his flag comes out so when BB comes in and makes contact, Charles is down. Otherwise, BB would have stripped the ball away from Charles.

Yellow Drive #13
1-7 from the 33: Pass by Canadian to Paul - 47 yard gain and the TD. Pump and go and the coverage bit on the pump which on the soft field was deadly.

That's Game: 7 - 4, Yellow.

Passing Stats:
Players Comp Drops Attempts % Yards TDs INTs Sacked Yds Lost Rating
Zieser 3 0 10 30.00% 6 0 0 2 -10 39.58

Canadian 20 2 45 44.44% 415 7 2 2 -8 98.61

Very nice passing games today. The soft field definitely hurt the pass rush and the QBs were able to advantage throwing for nearly 800 yards and completing nearly 45% of all passes thrown. Nick led with a 49.09% completion rate but Canadian came off the bench and had a big game completing 44.44% of his passes for over 400 yards and 7 TDs. If you take away the pick that Adam caused, Canadian would have had a passer rating over 107.

3 receivers with over 100 yards with BB, Treadaway and Paul all going into triple digits but Paul was clearly the leader with 8 catches for 241 yards and 4 TDs. BB was next with 123 yards and Treadaway had 104 yards and 2 TDs. Pretty much everyone got in the action today. Some of the other noteworthy games were turned in by Adam with 94 yards and a TD, Matta with 79 yards and 2 TDs, and Zieser with 47 yards on 2 catches but both for TDs. Also, did anyone notice all the RUNNING PLAYS BY NON-QBs? Been a long time since we've seen that.

Paul 6 0 1 0 0 0 0 0

The field conditions certainly hurt the defense. There were only 5 sacks in the game with Rob and Gary each getting 2 and Matta getting one. Other QB pressures were relatively light as well with Nick and Chenault each having 2. Hillis, BB, and Charles each had 2 defensed passes and a pick. Adam had 4 defensed passes.

Awards:
MVP - When you have three players each with over 100 yards and the top player more than doubled the next two, that shows you something. Did I mention that he touched the ball 8 times and had 4 TDs and 3 first downs?

Offensive Player of the Game - Canadian hasn't played nearly as much QB this year as he has in years past. I think this is only the 2nd or 3rd game all year he's thrown but he had a terrific game at QB as I noted above.

Defensive Player of the Game - This was harder this week because we had 3 players with similar stats (2 defensed passes and 1 pick). I'm giving the award to Charles this week because he had the best pick and more flags.

1-17 from the 23: Pass by Street to Simmons - 9 yard gain - stopped by Treadaway.
2-8 from the 32: Pass by Street to Adam - intercepted by Canadian - stopped by Street. Yellow felt that Adam should have callled PI on this since the ball was in the air and he was still being contacted within 5 yards on a slant. Costly mistake on Adam's part.

What's funny is that before the game, Street told me that he was tired of "these 13 or 14 completion games, I want to get back in the 20s" - well he did that this week and averaged 20 yards per completion - it's unfortunate that the picks had to mar his performance, particularly when most of them were not his fault or even spectactular play by the Red defense.

I wouldn't say this if one of the Red players hadn't said this to me after the game: "sometimes it's better to be lucky than good." Now, I'm not saying that Red played a bad game because they didn't at all and they made some terrific plays. However, normally the team that applies more pressure to the opposing QB and protects their own QB wins the game - that's one of the things I like about our game because that's what happens in pro games. However this week, despite Cain being being on the run constantly and throwing under tons of pressure and Street having better protection, Red won the game.

Regardless of whether there was some luck involved, Yellow made some mistakes that Red capitalized on and that's why games are decided by score and not stats. I'm not happy to have lost but I am happy to have played and I hope everyone else enjoyed the game as much as I did.

Big games usually mean small games for QBs and the stats show it. However, Nick's numbers might be a little deceiving considering that Yellow went for it 4 times inside their own 20 and gave the ball up.

Big game, small stats. No 100 yard players this week but that's not too surprising. It is a little more surprising that only one, Canadian, had over 50 yards.. Canadian and Leo were our "reception leaders" with 4 each.

Adam was sack leader with 4 sacks and a stop for a loss along with a number QB pressures. Mask and Bouchard each had sacks on the day and one of Mark's was a Safety - he also picked a pass. Lots of pressure was applied by both defensive lines today with a total of 14 QB pressures to go with the 7 sacks (plus some defensed passes on the rush). THere were a total of 8 defensed passes in the game.

Awards:


MVP - Nick - Normally I try to find a player on the winning team who had a big game on both offense and defense. That didn't really happen this week. So then I looked at who made the biggest difference in the game for the winning team and I think this week Nick fits that bill nicely. He took care of the ball, used his legs when he needed to, made some nice throws and never let Yellow's defense get him flustered.

Offensive Player of the Game - Canadian - 58% more yards than anyone else this week and he accounted for more than 50% of Red's receiving yardage.

Defensive Player of the Game - Mark - It was originally Adam because while Mark's safety plus pick performance was very nice, the pick was caused by another player and there was a second Red defender standing next to him at the catch so in all likelihood the pick was going to be made no matter what - no offense. However, it turns out that Mark had a 3rd sack so it was not a 2 sack (1 safety) with a pick performance. That 3rd sack tied Adam for fantasy points and since once of Mark's defensive plays resulted in points (safety) and the pick set up a TD, I'll break the tie by giving it to Mark this week.
