Jordan D., Neil, Patrick, Jordan T., and Thomas versus Robbie, Maciej, Peter, Cole, and Taylor. Final Score � 11-8 victory for Rob's reds.
Summary:
The reds took it to the blues on an abnormally warm February game, 11-8. "We took it to them," Peter said. "That's about all there was to it." With temperatures hitting close to 7 degrees above the freezing mark, players dropped jackets in favor of sweatshirts in a tightly contested game. The reds took an early lead, thanks to a couple of fantastic runs by wide receiver Maciej C. "Look, you play to win," the Packers fan said. "You don't play to make friends. I may like Jordan D. and Thomas as people, but if I see them in front of me, blocking my way to the glory line, I'm a push em. I'm a push em. The reds also got good secondary scoring from Cole and Peter, both of whom touching in two TDs in the win. The losing blues got a poor effort from QB Jordan D., who tossed a career (and league) high 8 interceptions. "My throws were pigeon like," the Italian said after the game.
Bogus moment of the game � Jordan's interceptions. How can one so accurate toss eight in one game?
Offensive Player of the Game - Maciej - Incredible athleticism on display in domination. Defensive Player of the Game - Maciej - 4 tds, numerous good plays on elusive Pat. Special Teams Player of the Game - Peter - threw blocks (and opponents) with aplomb.
Player Ratings:
Patrick � 8.5; Good in a losing cause, despite a few drops. A couple of great catches. Maciej - 9.5; Perfect, but for a tired stretch in the middle. Inspired performance. Jordan D. - 5; Struggled horribly at times, flicking the ball up the middle not a good plan. Taylor - 7; Did what had to be done, and was on the winning team in the end. Cole - 8; Great secondary scoring. Catches the ball up high with great ease. Robbie - 9.5; Combined with Maciej to make a great onfield combo. Confident. Jordan T. - 9; Great in a losing cause. Did his usual superman act, which amazed all. Neil - 8; Powerful attacks on the QB, resulting in two sacks. Offensively, okay. Peter - 9; Good in stretches, particularly near the end. Put pressure on Jordan D. Thomas - 7; Did what had be done, much like T., but some snaps lacked pop. |
