Pizza Files: Game 2 mini recap and Game 3 preview

Sorry about the delay folks. I should be better about blogging after a loss, but being sick and a lazy bye week made for the perfect storm of non blogging. But we did do some fun stuff on the bye week and had another go at a different 'mexican food' restaurant, so those blogs will be going up soon.

Game 2: Ancona Dolphins vs. Catania Elephants

Game 2 was our first home game which was infinitely better than having to wake up at 5AM and fly to our destination and then play. Ancona is a high octane spread offense with an American QB that has been there for 3 years, so they have a good system in place and have great chemistry. We had some problems defensively that led to a quick 35-7 defecit. After that we rebounded with a Kick off return for a TD and a INT return for a TD on the ensuing play to put us back to a 34-21 halftime defecit. The Elephants came out with a better defensive effort in the 2nd half allowing only 3 points , but it was too little too late and we ended up losing to the Dolphins 37-27.  The first loss of the year was humbling, but after a bye week to get back to the basics, We are ready for the upcoming game this week as we travel to play the Bologna Doves on Sunday. Here is a shorts clip from the Ancona game that led to the QB temporarily leaving the game with a concussion. I'll let you figure out for yourself who delivered the hit...

Stay tuned for more frequent blogs coming soon... I swear I'm not kidding this time
