CFFL Week 12

Down the home stretch and after this weeks game only two left of divisional play....How did it shake out?  Who is left in the playoff hunt?

Who is likely out?
Well I would unhappily report that the Crew are pretty much dead in the water after making a brief comeback with an offense that finally showed up, but too little to late as the Crew fell to the Mafia 27-23 and almost made the miraculous comeback as Bryce Brown scored 2, but needed 3 TDs on MNF. The loss puts the Crew at 4-8, and chances are very slim for a 6-8 team to make playoffs.

The Crush was another team that gave the Ferrets a scare but fell short 45-42 thanks to two Edelman TDs.  The Ferrets big two of Manning and Foster combining for 20 points and recent pick up Shane "Ben" Vereen put a TD on the board as well as the Ferrets suddenly have the "Midas" touch

Dragons fall to 4-8 after dropping their second in a row this time to the Juggernauts.  This time Aaron Rodgers provided no help throwing only 1 TD.  However if it wasn't for Rodgers the Dragons probably wouldn't have 4 wins.  Juggs still have shot at 6-6 and new QB "Jasper" Kaepernick has provided spark the Juggs needed. 

It appears the ovens are hot and the showers have been turned on.  The Krauts have lost 7 in a row after starting 4-1.  Its ugly in the Kraut camp.  It appeared that the Krauts have ended the losing streak until the Titans made a huge comeback in SNF as Manning and Bradshaw combined for 18 points to give the Titans the 29-25 and send the Krauts to 4-8.



Playoff Hunt
The rest of the league are truly still in the hunt with 2 games left in the regular season.  Really only 2 teams seem like a shoe in for the playoffs and they are the Ferrets and the Twins.  Both teams are the Number 1 and 2 offense in the league, and the Twins are coming off back to back 50+ point weeks.  Dalton and Martin both scored 12 points this week, and their defense (Patriot D) has scored 30 points in the past two weeks.  It would appear that the Twins are peaking just at the right time.

Player of the Week: Tom Brady had a hell of a Turkey Day scoring 18 points in a Mayhem 37-28 win over the Sinistars.  It was the third win in a row for the Mayhem and moved them in a tie for first with the Bees at 7-5 as they battle for the South Division Lead.
