*WEEK 16, GAME 1 RECAP*
Unfortunately, we had to start with 6s and had a few stalled drives, but some good defense on both teams to start. Soon the 7s begin and Dark breaks out first with a TD deep to Salem on a 3rd and long. Gronk decided it was time to send his receivers right behind the coverage and try passing to wide open receivers, and it would have worked this time, but Wilmer was robbed of an open field reception, because of an over the line pass; lucky break dark. Gronk sticks with what works though, and he keeps finding the same holes in the broken D, and either has open men behind the zone or Dobs battling hard to bring in those receptions. Gronk responded with two scores (don’t remember who).
Munch and Kut were eating up the line and stopping backfield plays while dobs wasn’t letting anyone run past him breaking stiff arms and grabbing flags. Munch had four sacks. Dobs Had like 15 flag grabs all over the field.
Tabak dropped open over the shoulder TD pass, and Prime looking for stats tried snatching a TD from a teammate resulting in nothing. With the broken momentum Dark ties up with deep pass to Zada over a sleeping Gronk, with a catch that Zada was surprised he made. A beautiful ball just fell in the basket and he ran with it.
Munch being Munch, can’t let that be and goes beast mode catches goal line TD to go up 3-2. Zada doesn’t like that and makes an insane effort and goes up over Prime (or Vegh, depending who you ask) to grab a contested pass and Steve-O sets the downfield blocks and another big score to tie at 3.
Gronk and Co. responds by picking apart a man coverage with swing to Munch who went for 70 yards breaking all tackles and scoring. Terrible flag grabbing to go up 4-3. Time winding down, Dark comes up empty on a 4th and short from the 26, and on the next play the game is iced, as Vegh catches a deep pass on a dead defense
Game over 5-3 [Colors win]
_This part does not come from me so if you don’t agree or don’t care, just trash talk as usual but hate the players not the writer._
*Jewball* goes to Munch.
One may say Gronk deserved it with 5tds and 0 ints, or by the fact that he made up the time in the huddle so we can get a full game due to the late showers. The decision came to Munch because of his heart and skill on both sides of the ball. Two massive TD catches and game changing defensive plays with 4 sacks and 30 hurries. Completely disruptive keeping Dark from doing what they could have.
*Honorable mentions*
Kut with a few big catches and barreling through the D line. He also had a ridiculous flag pull on Yaron 30 yards down the field from behind, that surely saved a TD.
Another shout out to the quiet and possibly sober man, Dobs, who was the great wall of China on the field shutting it down on defense by grabbing flags and making plays. On offense he made some great plays in coverage and scored as well. (He doesn’t only score with Asian babes, he can score with Gronk too)
*Top plays:* Zada hauling in that first TD; Oren catching a pass; Dobs’ catch by the endzone and the fight in; Munch grabbing the ball from Salem to save his team and gaining big yards, Kut’s surprise grab on Jabroni; and Zada somehow ended up bleeding again.
_Yall need to come on time in the next few weeks, if its hard to get to the early game on time, sign up for the late game. If you can’t get to the late game on time, figure your stuff out. I know stuff comes up, everyone experiences it, at least let us know when you’re coming and try to be accurate. For those who make a longer trip out, kudos, just try to factor in traffic._

Yaron with edits by Tom
Game two was a solid battle. Young versus old, dark versus light. Yaron versus fiet. An injury from the start struck fear in in team fiet. Tomaz out, enter munch, he had a jammed wrist but the only sign was that he preferred the weak side which means more bruises on your left side for those who went against him.
Dobs got the scoring started with a td 1-0 fiet. an Interception by Yaron, led to a td to Ari over zada (cue the Ari – Yaron duo , as They have 12 td passes between them this season) Rumors are that Solo feels betrayed, by yaron. they will be working that out in marriage therapy this week. Yarons defense “I was thinking of you when it happened” but I digress.
Feit was slinging it eating the middle of field with gronk and Goldberg.
Team Fiets d was relentless dobs mark zada grabbing flags. Pressure up front. In honer of kosher fest gronk and Goldberg were wetting everyone’s pallets and yaron undies with blitz packages that stalled the offense for the first half of the game. barking out pizza elephant salmon, solo..
Feit goes up 2-1 with a long bomb to Goldberg who turned on the jets. Next possession for fiet: Yaron reads the play and jumps the pass for a p6 and the game was tied at 2-2. A few stalled drives later and Gronk did his best impersonation of marshowm lynch. Barreling over multiple defenders on his way to a td. Next drive yaron hit Ari for his second td of the game. Solo said he’s done pretending that what they had together was special. “You just give it up for anyone, plus I’m pretty sure he’s a minor” game tied 3-3. “Jewball friend” aka BF helps dark take the lead only to have fiet to zada for his league leading 22nd td and we are tied up again at 4.
With about 5 min left team yaron looking to take the lead, swing out to Dante who stuff-armed feit into the bleachers and is GONE for TD- WAIT tom out of NOWHERE dives from behind like a humpback whale feeding and comes up with arguably(really Yaron ?! This is arguable?) the play of the game saving a td. To put the finishing touches on the drive Tom gets the sack on 4th down and we are in overtime. One possession each for the game.
After another lynch like yards after catch for Gronk and a key first down by Goldberg. Another catch and run for gronk brings the ball to the 2 yard line. On fourth down feit to zada who wrestled with Vegh on a great pass and catch effort and it’s 5-4 fiet. One more shot for yaron and, dobkin who played like a beast once again gets a hand on a pass launching the ball in the air, landing in Zada’s hands to seal the game, Zadda does the classy thing and takes a knee and it’s the end of a great game.
JB to feit for leading the comeback, solid drives and calling good plays, Tom joins the kut petition for jewbals for impact performance but no-one listens.
