What?! Mimics Performance of Local Area Teams



"Game conditions were similar to those in the picture..., except for the snow, and the 6 TD's in 1 quarter"

Given that a good number of players on the team are fans of NY state football teams, the Giants, the Jets, and the Bills, it was only fitting that the performance of the team this past Sunday closely mirrored that of their professional counterparts. Below, I will list the feat of the professional team(s) followed by What?!'s version of events.

- Pros: Jets rookie QB Mark Sanchez throws 5 interceptions.
  What?!: Amateur QBs match Mark Sanchez's prowess throw for throw, in turnovers.

- Pros: Giants offense miss multiple times on deep bombs by inches
  What?!: Offense play makers off rhythm and narrowly missed connecting on multiple deep throws

- Pros: Bills defense gets 5 turnovers
  What?!: Defense induced 4 picks and a sack, plus one shoulder-shot to the face of opponent receiver.

- Pros: Jets and Giants running game were relatively successful.
  What?!: Converts the only designed running play into a touchdown and 6 points.

All in all, a mixed performance. Somehow, the team put up 34 points even with under 50% passing. The defense was also aided by their opponents and their drops. Clearly, What?! looks to play much better on both sides of the ball in upcoming week. Meanwhile, a big shout-out to Tara who filled in admirably for, surprise, Tara, as we were short on girls. Thanks so much!


PLAY OF THE GAME: Close call this week as the halfback toss to Eric S aka "running plays are stupid, they'll never work" for a touchdown narrowly beats the touchdown catch by Ronny aka "I steal TD's from my brother right in front of his face"
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Alja by a landslide as she tosses two long TD passes and continues her hot hand at QB.
