We played a good game overall; the defense caused lots of turnovers and the offense took care of the ball and scored lots of points so that is always good.
Unfortunately we had a lot penalties some holding, some pass interference, block in the back and so on; the penalties happened on all sides of the ball; offense, defense and special teams. The game is refereed a little differently here and much more to the specifics of the rulebook. The referees seem to call the game to the "T" of the rules and not allow some physical discrepancies. Personally for me and some of the other players (German and Imports alike) needed to adjust to the reffing style, it was quite confusing because I have been taught and played a certain way for so long but we overcame the problems and will adjust for further games.
I personally had an OK game; I scored one touchdown but had a bad drop that I should have caught. The dropped pass could have turned into a long gain or maybe a touchdown as well as having converted the third down into a first down. I turned to run up field early and took my eyes off the ball as it was coming into my hands and dropped it; rookie mistake but I took care of it later and scored a long touchdown.
Overall can't complain we won and won big; our running back had a great game, I think he had four touchdowns. As we like to say; "He tore the field up!" Most of our opponents were at the game to watch since this was our first regular season game and I think we sent a message.
Here are a few pictures of me from the game; some are on kick/punt return or on offense as well as a picture of a team celebration for the fans at the end of the game. They were taken by one of the photographers that is at all our team events attached is a link to one of his websites.
