Another Weekend, Another Win



This weekend gave witness to another resounding victory by What?!. At the same time, it was also a game of several firsts. Here is the list:
  • First appearance by the butter brothers, better know as the Ryans
  • First time someone called "out of bounds" on a pass when it was actually way inbounds
  • First time in team history that someone was targeted double-digit amount of times, as Chris "Terrell Owens" became a ball magnet once he stopped chasing QB's
  • First career touchdown for Elaina as she used ninja moves to score on a catch and run, justifying her $50 million contract
  • First medical bill that Chris has to pay for that broken ankles caused by his shake n bake move
  • First time we incurred deductible on our medical plan as 4 players suffered injuries including:
      • Alja - Toe
      • Ronny - Calf
      • Eric - Quads
      • Elaina - Fingers

Otherwise, game was not so dissimilar from our previous ones. We put up a lot of points despite a lowly completion percentage of 46%. Matt was the only exception as he had a short and efficient day as QB, tossing 3 touchdowns as well as getting 2 interceptions on defense. Coen and Felix were able to get in some pass attempts as they continue working on their timing and placement, especially on the deep throws they narrowly missed.

In other stories, Eric continues to use trickery on opponents as he caught ANOTHER touchdown while drawing 2 interceptions from the opposition, including a pick six. Jen blessed the team with her second appearance of the season and promptly caught everything thrown her way, including a long touchdown while also passing for another. Ronny had several more catches on offense, including a Kirk Gibson like one after his injury and added 2 interceptions. Lauren harassed and chased after the other QB all day even though he wasn't good looking, and chipped in with a catch. Alja's passing TD streak ends as she became a own-team-induced injury casualty.

The big negative was that we gave up 18 points, even though they were all fluky. We'll just chalk it up to laziness and playing dumb defense towards the end of the game.

PLAY OF THE GAME: Tie, Chris tipping a ball to himself and then proceeding to snap some ankles and Elaina's TD
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Matt, narrowly over Jen, solely due to his ridiculous stat padding

Honorable mention to Lance for showing up at the field, after the game ended. Mad props.
