Score: A 13-11 win for Dave's greenacious...um..greens.
Game Rating (out of 10): 7 - The Alex D. vs. Patrick show!
Notable absentees: Lenny, Tommy, Jacob, Danielle, Matthew Soegtrop.
Offensive Player of the Game: Alex D./Patrick. 7 TDs a piece.
Defensive Player of the Game: Alex D. Good coverage on Dave.
Special Teams Player of the Game: James. Hustle, fumble recovery TD.
Pitch and Weather: Snow laying like some kind of lay individual, but not one of peasant ancestory. I enjoy pidgeons at times as well. The weather was not as cold as expected; G-ram managed to take off his jacket and not freeze to a pop-sicle state.
Summary: Despite their being a relatively poor turnout (mostly due to no-shows from the likes of Tommy, Johnny, and Danielle), the game was all Patrick vs. Alex D., with the former coming out on top thanks to key secondary contribution from the likes of David and James. Patrick was found all 7 times in the endzone by Robbie, who had his eagle arm out like no-body's business. Alex D. on the other hand had a variety of catches, ranging from a perfect run-on-to-the-ball toss to a no-look short pass from QB Maciej. Both showed why they are arguably the league's two best receivers when on their game. The game ended when David said, "My legs just...aren't there anymore. They say no." True that, homes.
Bogus Moment of the Day - Maciej's destruction of Patrick was nice, but how about David's off the face catch. Worthy off Lenny/Tommy status.
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Robbie - 8; Has one of the best arms in the FFL, and is getting better on-field chemistry with Patrick. However, is a serious liability on all other ends of the field and speed is a real hindrance. Can't argue with 12 passing TDs however; a shake your dick new record in 2005-06.
Frank - 7.5; Left to play hockey soon after game started. Not after getting destroyed by David, his own teammate. 1 receiving TD.
Patrick - 10; 7 touchdowns, and caught a lot more than that. Became a pinacle receiver on the day, and had a serious rivalry with Alex D. Solid on defence and special teams too.
Maciej - 6.5; Threw the ball well enough, but was burned like a wandering albatross on defence.
James- 8; Guess who's back, back again. James' is back, back again. His first game in a while wasn't one of his best. Had 2 tds in the air, but played very well on special teams.
Graham - 7.5; Managed 2 tds on this day, but was beyond awful on defence. Did however admit to his faults. Dropped the bombshell that Puhacz retired, much to the shagrin of Maciej and prospective Parkdalian Pat. Worst pyjamas ever.
Alex D. - 10; 7 TDs in the air, 1 kickoff touchdown as well. His contributions on defence were well noted as well, covering Bam Bam Buffalo Dave like his house was on fire and he had the only remaining hose for miles around. One of the best 'rounded games in FFL history.
David - 6.5; Was run ragged by his Crystalgrowth. Managed 3 TDs, but was a non-factor otherwise. Should wear less electronic gear; looks like a mini satellite with all the wires and cables.
