CFFL Week 11

We are down to the home stretch with only 3 weeks to go until the playoffs.  Here is how Week 11 went.

High Score of the Week:  Roulette 43 Dragons 33

Megatron scores 2!

How did the Roulette lose 3 games?  This week they put up 43 points with Peyton Manning only scoring 4 points and Adrian Peterson putting up a goose egg. Thank you Calvin "Megatron" Johnson and Antonio Brown for scoring 24 points!  Big Ben Roethisberger for the Dragons couldn't have done any better filling in for Aaron Rodgers putting up 16 points but still couldn't manage a win.  None of his wide outs scored.  The Roulette still remain 2 games back of the Sinistars with 3 weeks left.  The Dragons are still mathematically alive but the window is closing fast on their playoff hopes. 

Wrecking Crew 34 Twins 22

Olsen twins 10 points

The score was not an indication of how close this game actually was.  After an 11 point performances from RGIII and Mike "Ted" Nugent the Twins lead 22-16.  The Crew needed a big game from Newton to help them come from behind and pound the Twins.  Newton didn't disappoint throwing not one, not two but three TDs, not to mention one went to Greg Olsen "Twins" (how appropriate) for that dreaded 10 point connection.  No problem. A Crew win next week and a Chisler loss will clinch the division for the Crew in the North. 

Ferrets 31 Mafia 30
The Ferrets escaped the Mafia and kept their playoff hopes alive as they improved to 5-6.  Ferrets racked up 33 points thanks to 8 from the Bizlat Kaepernick and 11 from Rian Lindell, but had to sweat out the Monday night game after Brandon LaFell caught an early TD to make it a 1 point game and Gostkowski kicking in points as well.  Another TD from LaFell and it was over.  Or another FG from Gostkowski and it was over.  Ferret Luck? or Wening Law?  Looks like it was Ferret Luck and they came away with the victory.

The Bizlat tossed in 2 scores

Sinistars 37 Killer Bees 25
The Sinistars improved to 10-1, but amazingly have yet to clinch the east with the Roulette keeping pace.  This week it was Stafford's 8 points, and TDs from Ray Rice (finally), Josh "Commissioner" Gordon and Rob Gronkowski late in the game capped their 10th win.  The Bees who are still in the lead of the South and could have clinched with the win, have clinched at least a tie for the South and will likely be the Division Champ of the South.

Beast Mode scores 18 in the loss

Player of the Week: Marshawn Lynch 18 points - Alex's Animals
Lynch was in complete Beast Mode Sunday, but it was in a losing effort for the Animals as they only got 10 more points (4 from McCown and 6 from "Bat" Gano) in their lost to the Bums 35-28.  Bums were lead by "Malachi" Dalton's 12 ponts.

Around the League...Chislers hand the Crush their 3rd loss in the row form the North 24-21.  They took an early 12 point lead thanks to Chris Johnson and never looked back, keeping them in the hunt for the playoffs.  They can capture the North title by winning out and the Crew losing out.  Crush are 2 games behind the Bums with 3 weeks to go...Mayhem defeat the Krauts 35-26 in a match up between 2 teams likely not making it to the playoffs.  Another tough year for the Krauts with only 4 wins thus far.  LeSean McCoy lead the scoring for the Mayhem with 12 points...The Juggernauts got some help in their playoff run by playing the Titans this week and beat them 34-4.  The Titans are quickly becoming the worst team ever in the CFFL and at 0-11 are truly increasing their chance to be the first winless team. 

Titans are the Worst Team Ever
