CFFL Week 9 Recap

and so did Cooper

There was a lot of high scores this week in the CFFL....here is how some of the highest flying teams of week 9 faired....


TY scored 3 times!

Juggernauts 49 Killer Bees 44
This game was a barn burner with some pretty incredible performances.  This game was locked at 31 going into Sunday Night. Riley Cooper for the Bees tallied 18 big points to lead the way.  The Juggs had 14 from Russell Wilson and 12 from Ridley.  On Sunday Night the Bees looked good getting 13 points from Andrew Luck...but unfortunately, 3 of Luck's TD passes went to Juggernauts' T.Y. Hilton giving the Juggernauts the 49-44 lead.  Monday night the Bees last hope was the Bears Defense and they could score at any point and almost did picking off a pass at the line of scrimmage but was unable to make it to the endzone.  The Juggs are still 4 games back of the Sinistars, while the Bees, thanks to a loss by the Dragons still hold a 2 game lead in the South.

Wrecking Crew 49 Crush 19

Graham, best trade of year?

It what the media has made into a big rivalry, the Crew had no problem with them.  Drew Brees had an mediocre day getting only 2 TDs....both to Crew TE Jimmy Graham!  The Crew got 10 points from Newton which included a 10 point connection to Greg Olsen.  In fact every player on the Crew scored except for their Defense and Arian Foster.  Foster who didn't play because of a back injury.  "Not sure why the media plays up this match up, I mean I don't find the Crush at all a challenge for us, so they really are not a rival to us," said owner Roy Cherry of the Crew. The victory puts the Crew at 8-1 still 3 games up on the Chislers.  Crush fall to 6-3 and are now tied in the West with the Bums.

Mayhem 48 Roulette 35
The Mayhem who had a total of 2 wins all year appeared to really have no chance against a 6-2 team lead by Peterson, Calvin Johnson and Peyton Manning.  "That's why they play the games!" or "Not so fast my friends"  Manning and Johnson were on byes.  So Roulette had to rely on Alex Smith..who scored nothing.  Amazingly the Roulette still managed 35 points thanks to 14 points from Raven WR Marlon "Brando" Brown.  But the Mayhem came storming back being down 35-30 going into Sunday Night.  Then former Roulette Andre Johnson finally woke up and scored 3 huge TDs giving the Mayhem the 48-35 victory!  Roulette are falling further back, now 2 games behind the Sinistars in the East. 

Mayhem were good in this one!

Chiefs D scores 2!

Sinistars 41 Titans 20
The Sinistars keep on rolling and like they needed a bye week, they got one as they played the winless Titans, who at one point looked like they may pull the upset, starting out with a 14-0 early lead.  Then only the kicker scored for the Titans the rest of the weekend as the Stafford-less Sinistars won with 9 from Joe Flacco and 12 points from their defense the Chiefs.  That is a sign of a team of destiny, when key players are on bye, you get your defense to score twice!  The win widens the Sinistars lead in the East by 2 games over the Roulette.

Player of the week: Andre Johnson, Mayhem.  T.Y. Hilton, Juggernauts. Riley Cooper, Killer Bees - all had 18 points.

Nick..Nick "The Dick"

Around the League...Chislers took down the Twins 34-16 despite the Twins' Zac Stacey "Bonus Back" 12 points, who was at one point drafted by the Chislers.  Jugghead Rivers continued to have a good season getting 8 points, but the story for the Chislers was Nick "The Dick" Folk's 14 points.  Chislers now above .500 making a run at a wild card spot...
Mafia survive the Animals 31-30 which if it wasn't for the draw play inside the 5 on Monday Night by Forte early in the game the Animals would have won with the late TD by Alshon Jeffery..who did not win this time.  Playoffs for these two teams are quickly fading away as both are 3-6...In this weeks lamest game of the year, the Ferrets beat the Bums 10-9.  Yeah that's right 10-9.  Jake Locker and Matt Bryant were the only players to score for the Ferrets.  The Bums got 9 points from their kicker Hauschka, which ordinarily is great for a kicker, but when you are starting bunch of players on byes its not enough...The Dragons were dealt a tough loss by the Krauts who took out Aaron Rodgers.  The Dragons were hoping for just one 10 point connection on Monday night to win the game 23-22, but instead the Krauts blitzkrieged Rodgers taking him out with a shoulder injury.  The Dragons had a chance to get to one game back of the Bees, but now their future is uncertain.  Oh by the way, Krauts had Nick Foles on the bench with 28 points....

Krauts take out Rodgers...but for how long?
