CFFL Week 10

As we move down into the home stretch Week 10 was an interesting week with some close games, a tie, a blow out and a double nickel score....

The Double Nickel: Roulette 55 Titans 29

Just another day for Manning...4 TDs.

Even when the Titans have a fairly decent week, scoring 29, the most since they put up 32 in Week 1, they still lose.  The Titans were no match to the power team of the Roulette, who had 3 players in double digits this week.  The Big Three all clicked at the same time showing how dangerous the Roulette can be!  Peyton "Forehead" Manning racked up 16, Adrian "All Day" Peterson had 12 and Calvin "Megatron" Johnson also had 12.  The Roulette needed the win to stay 2 games back of the Sinistars.  The Titans are dangerously becoming the first team in CFFL history to go winless in a season.

The Tie:  Mafia 25 Chislers 25

"A tie?  Really??"

This game likely shouldn't have been tied at all.  Mafia should have probably won this game and the Chislers shouldn't have even been in it.  But there is this thing called Chisler Luck.  The Chislers scoring came from their Rams Defense who had 12 points.  But some could say the Mafia didn't get much scoring either and it was mostly Suisham who had 11 points.  So with the game locked at 25 it came down to Monday Night as the Mafia had Mike James.  And the way the first drive looked it appeared the Mafia would easily win.  Mike James was running all over the Dolphins and then ran to the one foot line...and broke his ankle!  Chisler Luck....

Thomas earned Player of the Week honors with 18 pts

The Close Game: Animals 38 Crush 31
This game was decided in Sunday Night.  After Demaryius Thomas ripped off 3 TDs for 18 big points the Animals lead the Crush 28-15 and seemed to have the game in hand.  But the Crush had Drew Brees and with Drew Brees at home he is bound to have a big day.  And he sure did scoring 16 points that would have won the game 31-28.  But the Animals were not done yet either, getting that dreaded 10 point connection as Romo's only TD pass went to Terrance Williams. The win keeps the Animals in the playoff hunt.  The Crush drop their second in a row and now a game behind first.


The Blow Out:  Sinistars 37 Dragons 8


Bull Durham the new 10 pt connection

Dragons are in serious trouble with out Aaron Rodgers.  They managed only 8 points, their lowest total of the year.  4 from Big Ben and only 4 from their kicker Carpenter.  Sinistars now have the best record in the league after the loss by the Crew, at 9-1.  12 from Stafford lead the way and the Sinistars got TDs from Murray, Jackson, and Kris "Bull" Durham.  Sinistars now have a 2 game lead in the East with 4 games to go and are just getting primed for a deep playoff run.  While the Dragons are not out of it yet, with out Rodgers you might as well stick a fork in them.

Player of the Week: Demaryius Thomas - 18 points - Animals
Thomas was on fire scoring 3 times for the Animals in their victory over the Crush.  It keeps them in the playoff hunt and the rest of the CFFL are hoping they don't make it because they are a dangerous team ranked 4th in points scored.



Killer Bees were ready for the Krauts

Around the League...The Killer Bees knocked off the Krauts and severely hampered their playoff hopes and have pretty much locked up the South expanding their lead to 3 games with 4 games left.  Case Keenum and Riley Cooper both scored 12 points. Interesting move starting Keenum instead of Luck who was playing the Rams, but then only scored 5 points...Juggernauts take another step toward the playoffs getting back to .500 with the 36-29 win over the Mayhem who are pretty much done at 3-7.  The Juggs rookie rushing attack finally came through as Bernard and Labia Bell both scored TDs...In a match up between two franchises that were likely not going anywhere had the Twins coming out on top 23-14 thanks to RGIII's 12 points.  It looked like the Ferrets might get shut out but Kenny Stills "Nash and Young"  grabbed a TD on Sunday Night...The Bums upset the one loss Wrecking Crew 35-17 with 15 huge points from their Kicker Hauschka!  The Crew got zilch from Newton, Gore, and Graham.  Only Brandon Marshall pulled his weight with 12 points.  Bums now have a 1 game lead in the West...

Matchup of Week 11: Killer Bees (7-3) at Sinistars (9-1)
Battle of two division leaders.  Luck vs. Stafford.  Decker and Taint vs. Jackson and Durham? 10 point connection? Sinistars need this game to keep distance from Roulette.  Bees have no real threat in the South.
