Game 4 - first L

 Losing sucks. Does not feel good. 

We couldn't get a stop for our lives. First drive, they went down and scored. Then we did our down out and up, where I beat Avi S. for the long TD. Felt great. 

Then they scored, I missed what would have been a very tough interception.

They took a 19-6 lead into halftime. We went down and score a touchdown, with our butt-and-up play, where I fake button hook to draw the safety up and then blow past him, First time we tried that in a game. Thought of it while running routes by myself the week before the season.

Then they scored a touchdown where they just beat our guy deep.

We finally made a stop with a sick interception by Ari, and promptly drove down the field to score with 1:45 to go, another touchdown to me on a rainbow pattern where I slid after crossing the field. 

We got a 2 point conversion to Dani, making it 26-20.

We got the ball back, with a chance to go take the lead, but Moro was overthrown by a few inches and QB1 didn't see me wide open in the end zone.

But then we gave up a first down and it was over.

There were so many garbage illegal contact penalties, where a player caught the ball and ran, but there was a defender there. And more flags in that game than in the other ones combined. Meaning a lot of yelling at the refs - don't love that. But the commish does, he said that shows people care.

I didn't think I'd have 10 Touchdowns in the first 4 games, but I also thought I'd have more than 2 interceptions. So definitely need to do better there. Also I don't care that much about personal stats if we lose. I had 3 tds but needed 4. 

This adds fuel to the fire, I don't want any more Sundays like this. Good luck league.

A Topsy Turvy Kinda Day

 As we still are waiting to enter our apartment in Ganei (24 months late), the question of what to do with the kids next year is on our mind...
