After a brief bye, month and a half long, filled with Christmas treats and New Year resolutions, team What?! was eager to start the season, continuing the momentum from their championship season. Yet, even before the 1st game started, the gang got bad news as one of their key players, Chris, suffered a partial tear in his ACL, playing flag football in a beer league. Nevertheless, the team knew they had enough depth and strength to move forward.
As it turned out, the first game of the season turned out to be a relative bore. Newcomer Bekim started the 1st drive off catching a deep bomb and scoring a touchdown from Matt. Meanwhile, the offense, utilizing the many set plays that Matt had drawn up during his overwhelmingly busy work days, stuttered and stumbled throughout the day due to the long layoff. However, Lance, in his usual self, came to the rescue and dragged in 2 touchdowns, fulfilling his pre-game email promise to do so.
On defense, the team tried out a new scheme for the season, adapting to the absence of Chris. Luckily, it worked relatively well, limiting What?!'s opposition to numerous 2 yard passes and generating 4 turnovers. (Even though they did score twice via dink and dunking to their girls)
Perhaps, the best highlight of the game was when it ended, as everyone was able to scurry home to hide from the cold and watch the Ravens beat down the Patriots and the
PLAY OF THE GAME: Felix getting nailed in the face/eye off a tipped ball, Eric A continuing his punting touch-back streak, and Lance getting a interception in our red zone to stonewall a drive.
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Lance, doing work on both sides of the ball with 2 touchdowns, tons of tackles, and a pick.
