Score: An 11-10 win for the anti-Jar Jar tinkish grue squad.
Game Rating (out of 10): 7- A distinctive flow.
Notable absentees: James, Danielle, Matthew Soegtrop, David.
Offensive Player of the Game: Maciej. Shook off early rust.
Defensive Player of the Game: Alex D. 2 key interceptions.
Special Teams Player of the Game: Peter. Cries of "Jar Jar!"
Pitch and Weather: Warm, but not as warm as some expected. There were a bunches of peeps here and there, but spookily (and maybe just a tanch eerily) people began to one by one disappear, until the FFL field was not but bare. Naught but bare, boys, naught but bare.
Summary: All I can say is: "Na-na-na-na-na-na, Jar Jar binks stays on the Travesty list." Class. The red squad, despite losing, was led by the aforementioned Peter, who ran like his hair was on fire and oxygen had a reversing effect of putting such flames out. The tinkish grue squad on the other hand was led by Maciej, who didn't want to take Jar Jar binks off the travesty list. Had some good games from his receivers, namely Aleksus Crystalgrowth, who managed 4 in the air.
Bogus Moment of the Day - Owen deciding to bend down to examine the grass, unknowing that he would soon set up the biggest hip check ever seen on the FFL scene. It would have been a classy play, if not for the fact that he destroyed his own player Alex. Be Bogus, to quote absent James.
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Robbie - 6; If Robbie doesn't throw the ball well on the day, he becomes King Liability. Check one for the "Things I have to see before I retire list": Robbie did actually run today.
Jacob - 8; 3 TDs, 1 KTD but could have had more. Should try and learn something different from that L shaped run he does. Very good on special teams, but SW knowledge horrible.
Patrick - 8.5; The only consistent receiver for Robbie, but got poor service after his early touchdown show. He finished with 4, and played some jobar defence on Owen.
Maciej - 6.5; Had mobar moments early on, but fought to keep Jar Jar alive and well on the list.
Lenny - 5; Didn't have a catch all day. Hell, he didn't even catch the ball with his face as his customary all day. But did reasonably well on Jacob.
Peter - 9.5; Made the bet, fought to win it, but lost. Nonetheless, he has some silky skills (by silky I mean destroying the ground with his feet and destroying Jacob, amongst others, with bone crunching hits). His best game yet, inspirational for his squad. 2 KTDS, 1 TD.
Tommy - 6; Must learn to get open, particularly when Robbie is covering him. Enjoys pudding on weekends, but what are you gonna do? 1 TD.
Alex D. - 9; The skinnier, taller version of Peter had another solid game, finishing with 4 TD on the night. Had 2 INTs as well, and managed some good runs up the middle on special teams.
Maddie - 4; 1 play. 1 fucking play and she was gone. Geez.
Graham - 6; Dropped more balls than a blind hooker. Had 1 INT, 1 TD on the day.
Owen - 6; Meh, reasonable. Can't really complain, despite having more mahoneys than catches. In fact, his only catch was that of a TD, so his goal in future games should be to catch the ball. And stay away from recreational drugs.
Moyra - 4; A true legend.
