Word from the Mouth: I Don't Watch the Games! edition
If you’re a football fan it was a great weekend for you (ed’s note: unless you’re a Jets fan…). You got to play on Saturday, watch college after that, sleep in on Sunday, then watch NFL all day, unless you played in Brossard with the rain.
How would you feel if you were Kadarius Toney after that game he put together, 1 catch 1 yard, 1 run minus 1 yard and 3 or 4 easy drops. This guy is a bum. All these athletes love social media and post anything and everything, but Thursday after the game he deleted all his because of the messages he knew he was going to get. To me that’s a llama fart move. Deal with the good and the bad.
Recap
Division 1
Iron Wolves vs Lockdown (29-12)
Lockdown tried multiple players at rusher, and they all had trouble with Alex having the most success getting 1 sack. Neither of these teams blew up the stat sheet. Before half Lockdown had a chance to make it a close game, but failed to score so Iron Wolves were up 22-6 at half. Lockdown opened the second half with the ball and scored, now they needed their defense to step up and get a stop, they couldn’t and the game ended with that being the last points of the game.
Division 2
I wasn’t able to catch any of the D2 games this week but Willie was in one and I think Terry reffed one, so you’ll get your coverage.
Division 3
RawSauce vs Phoenix (45-15)
Both teams scored to open the game with Phoenix getting their convert and a 7-6 lead. RawSauce took off after that, scoring on every drive except their last one. Phoenix went the other way with Kevin throwing 4 picks. Antoine owned Phoenix with 112 yards and scoring 5 total TDs, 4 on offense and a pick 6 to end the game.
Phoenix vs Pocket Rockets (28-29) OT
What a rollercoaster this game was. Both teams came out and scored early in the first half before settling in. Both teams struggled at times on defense either with players being out of position or just missing tackles. Once the defenses figured it out, most of the big plays were taken away. Ali had 2, but I’m sure I threw him 3 picks with 2 coming on the goal line. With a 20-16 lead late in the game Phoenix was inside the redzone looking to put the game away, but on fourth down Leo batted the ball away. Now in the shadow of their endzone PO threw a ball to Phil who made a defender miss and walked into score and take the lead. There was 5:30 left and Phoenix was down 2. Phoenix was able to score, get their 2-point convert, leaving 26 seconds on the clock. Pocket Rockets had 1 timeout left. PO hit Phil along the sideline for 20 followed by Ali for a 28-yard TD. They failed on the convert and with 11 seconds left Phoenix couldn’t score and we went to OT. Pocket Rockets won the toss and wanted the ball and went for 1 which PO found Mike for the convert. Phoenix elected to go for 2 and the win. Pocket Rockets stayed on the goal line and when I threw the ball to the middle of the endzone, Leo was able to get up there and pick it off to seal the win.
Division 4
I did not get to see 1 snap of D4 this week and can’t remember hearing much about what went on in those games. (ed’s note: stunning coverage!)
Division 5
TD Hunters vs Low Expectations (14-21)
In this game we saw two very good friends go head-to-head for the first time at the QB position. The atmosphere was good, but no room for gifts. Matthieu's first presence in the red zone ended with an interception by Goldrick. TD Hunters then made several plays to get the first TD of the game. After making it 14-0, everything fell apart for them. The TD Hunters offense lost momentum when Matthieu became the rusher, and the Low Expectations offense came back to life when a ten-yard pass to Christopher became a 36-yard TD due to a missed tackle. And another missed tackle led to Marcel's 45-yard TD. The score was 14-14 with 4 minutes left. TD Hunters tried to move slowly to run out the clock, but a muffed snap and a sack by Matthieu forced them to take a risk that led to an interception. 4 plays later, Low Expectations added a TD for the win.
Mimosa Crew vs Bear Hood (12-37)
I was really excited to see this game until realizing that both teams were missing their QB and in Bear Hood’s case, their backup as well. To end up with this many points is a big surprise. Mimosa played poorly on both sides of the ball. On offense they didn’t run great routes, they dropped balls and you had some bad throws. When you get to defense, they just didn’t show up and play like they normally do. Bear Hood had Dave play QB and he looked good making reads and easy throws. If these two teams meet again expect to see a much better game.
Phoenix vs Slot Machines (40-20)
Giovanni had Slot Machines in the lead (14-12) when they scored with 4 minutes left in the first half. That’s when Phoenix woke up and took control of the game. Vince scored on a 3 yard TD with Felix getting the 2-point convert. Slot Machines turned it over giving Phoenix a very short field and another score and 2-point convert. The score at half was 28-14 Phoenix and Phoenix was starting with the ball and went down and scored to seal the game at this point. Phoenix ran 60 plays in the game compared to 22 for Slot Machines. It’s very hard as a new team to overcome a team controlling the clock and the tempo of the game.

Duds
Division 1
- Centurions for not being able to put a team out to play after their first game. (ed’s note: didn’t they have 3 injuries in that game? Jeez, Kev…)
Division 2
- Thibaud Daoust 2 tackles and 1 sack in 2 games just doesn’t cut it especially when that sack was on the last play of the half, and they need time to reach the endzone.
Division 3
- Kevin Kousaie for not putting enough air on the ball to get over the defender in OT.
Division 4
- Trolling Holers defense minus Andre, the rest of you just showed up and did nothing on that side of the ball.
Division 5
- Big Booties for giving up 83 yards total and only winning by 2 points, now that is embarrassing.
There you have it, your winners and losers for week 3.
