Defeat, Welcome Back!

Well, it was bound to happen. TWSS finally gave one up and boy did we give it up big time. We were obliterated on both ends and there was no amount of HGH or steroids that we could have taken that could have saved us.

I could point to the little things we did poorly, but the biggest weakness that was exposed this week was our on field leadership. There were several plays where people were just shouting different directions at each other which caused several miscues, misplays, and breakdowns. Now I hate to point fingers, but to use another Obama reference, the buck stops at the captains to right the ship. They need to step up and make decisions quicker and with more authority. At times I think the team is too much of a democracy instead of an autocracy. Everyone is a John Madden and knows the best trick play/formation to run. The caps get all confused by everyone shouting their opinions, meanwhile the other team throws another TD running the same play. Again. Please, shut up and let the caps do their job. Caps, do your job.

After the game, I realized that we are lucky to be 3-1. We really should be a 2-2 team but we’ll take any win we can because if we play like that again, we won’t be doing anymore winning.

Win 4

Another win! Someone must be poisoning the other team’s drinking water because all this winning just isn’t familiar. The nice part is, the ball is getting distro’d to everyone so it really is a team effort. On the other hand, I understand why divas like TO and Anquoin Boldin get upset when they don’t get the rock. When you run a million routes without getting a look and you’re open, you go back to the sidelines feeling a bit jipped. Alas, football is the ultimate team game and there is no room for I, not that I’m getting an over inflated ego (where’s my bowl of green skittles biatch!). The bottomline is we won, which means we are #1, which means we can lose the rest of our games and still make it into the playoffs! Time to play drunk flag football!

Win 3

There’s nothing hotter than a hot girl catching a touchdown pass and then shaking what her mama gave her in exaltation. OK maybe if she were making out with another hot girl… wearing a white t….  and I’ll stop there.

But that didn’t happen tonight, except for the part where Rachel caught the game winning TD (again) and Mo hot footed his way to 2.5 INTs. Note the GAME WINNING part of the former sentence which implies we won (again). A miracle! Everyone is on a high, but as a pro with a set of canned responses would say, “We’re happy we got the win, but we got to take one game at a time and be ready for the next game.”

Personal stats for me includes 0 catches and one carry for -3 yards. I kept getting go routes with no go from the QB so I had a T.O. moment with the QB, but it was more, “Um, excuse me sir. I have my guy beat everytime so if you don’t mind and if it’s not too much trouble, can you please look my way please? Thank you sir!” After a couple of plays, I was winded from the weeks of physical stagnation and was done for the night.

So onto next week where we shoot for our fourth win which would secure a winning season and a 400% improvement over our first season.

That’s What She Said VS ???

Game 1

Most of us on TWSS have been together since the first season and with this being the third and hopefully lucky season, we’re looking for some redemption on the gridiron.

The first half of game was a stalemate. Rodney and I each caught a touchdown pass, except we were out of bounds when it happened so we really didn’t catch a touchdown pass. We broke the season open with a safety by Rosenwig, after which ??? scored a touchdown. We answered back in the second half with two more touchdowns and came out with a win. As for myself, I had ~5 catches, an interception and a busted thumb. It was a great first game, not only because we won, which was something that didn’t happen a lot in seasons one and two, but because we played as a team. That sounds quite cliche, but the vets on our team really helped the noobs and we all backed each other up.
