Score: a 13-11 win for Ezra's maroon squad.
Game Rating (out of 10): 10 - Great turnout, good offensive displays.
Notable absentees: Matthew C., Graham, Josh, Dylan, Matthew S.
Offensive Player of the Game: Jordan T. How does he catch the impossible?
Defensive Player of the Game: Tommy. Great man to man coverage.
Special Teams Player of the Game: Peter. Scored a nice kickoff TD.
Pitch and Weather: Colder, with serious ice patches ferving hereworth and thereworth on the Fareena field. Nevertheless, a good turnout resulted in a lot of nice offensive plays, as well as the ridiculously high amount of slipups. In fact, players like James spent most of the time on the ground, writhing in both simulated and real pain.
Summary: Back and forth, the action went. Tom's golden squad looked good, with inspired efforts coming from QB Jordan and receivers Maciej and Alex. However, there efforts were generally in vain as Robbie had a plethora of options, including the incredibly effective Jordan T. and an offensively rejuvenated James. The game was ended when the aforementioned rumbled in for his fourth touchdown of the game, on a last down play that was the cream of proverbial mooja cake.
Bogus Moment of the Day - Although there were a number of awesome plays (Jordan making a catch in a crowd that would make Traffalex proud, Jordan and Robbie wrestling for twenty minutes, Patrick with a No Frills bag on his foot), there is no doubt to the bogus moment. Peter, after picking up a loose lateral from Ezra, rumbled up the right side of the field, wielding his way between defenders before having his hat block his vision. From there he blindly ran straight into the baseball diamond, cracking down hard, much to the amusement of everyone not involved.
Player Ratings (out of 10, 4 being the lowest):
Robbie - 8; Threw two interceptions, but was generally a positive contributor.
Maciej - 8; Scored a nice share, but what the hell was with the mahoney? Ew dot web.
Patrick - 7; Had a consolation touchdown, and tried his best. Will be better without foot cast.
James - 8; A breakout performance on the offensive end, but looked distinctly average on D.
Jordan - 9; Threw the entire field, with accuracy. Deadly, did what had to be done.
Neil - 7; Was good for the most part. Was called for pass interference on one play.
Jacob - 7; Combined the good with the ugly. Used speed well.
Jordan T. - 10; The really scary thing; he left halfway through the game, and had 5 TDs already!
Ezra - 7; Subdued offensively until the very end.
Tommy - 7.5; A good interception, with Hands of Toms flying out his parka like nobody's business.
Peter - 7; A special teams demon, but took breaks on all other ends.
Moyra - 6.5; 2 catches, the second for a lot of yards. The sky is the limit.
Alex - 8; Defensively tough; when he left, James racked up the points. 3 touchdowns on the day.
Sierra - 6; Floated around the field, but to be fair, got little service.
