CFFL Week 4

Week 4 is in the books and two division are beginning to have some serious separation...

Game of the Week: Bums 44 Killer Bees 42

Charles was in Charge with 3 TDs!

This game didn't look like it had a chance to be interesting as the Bees got another 4 TD performance out of Luck, who is the leading scorer after 4 weeks with 58 points.  Not to mention 2 more TDs from Lamar Miller.  The Bums came into the game under investigation for not making lineup changes as they had a QB on bye (Wilson) along with their Defense (Broncos).  However it apparently didn't matter.  Going into Monday night the Bums were down 40-26 with Jamaal Charles "In Charge" and Edelman.  But you never know with Jamaal Charles who had a 5 TD performance to knock out the Chislers in last years playoffs.  This year the Bums got 3 TDs from Charles to come back and beat the Bees and earn a much needed win to move to 2-2 one game back of the Crush.

Top Team of the Week:  Mayhem 67 Crush 24
It was truly Mayhem in Michigan as they rattled off 67 points against the Crush!  It helps when your defense scores 3 times (Eagles).  The Mayhem always seem to find high scoring defenses (prior years had Ravens of old).  But they didn't even need those 18 points as Stafford put up 14, Eddie Royal "Flush"had 12 and Randy Bullock kicked in 11.  Gore's knee got a TD and Torrey Smith rose from the dead to catch a TD pass.  It was no match for Brees who had a rough day and only threw for 2 TDs and production from the Crush came only from Jeffery "I WIN" and Sammy "Davis Junior" Watkins.

Eagles D tallied 18 points!

Who is this guy??

Players of the Week:  Eagles Defense, Mayhem; Jamaal Charles, Bums; Matt Asiata, Cocktails
Three players earned player of the week status.  As mentioned earlier the Eagles D of the Mayhem had 18 points as did Charles of the Bums.  However there was a third.  Matt Asiata "Cheese" scored 3 TDs for the Cocktails and has filled in nicely for Peterson.


Around the League...The Animals showed they were a team to be reckoned with as they dispensed the Juggernauts relatively easily 41-26 lead by 15 big points from Nick "The Dick" Novak and 2 TD catches from Antonio Brown.  Brown has 5 TDs on the season already and made his second game in a row with 2 TD catches.  Juggs couldn't get anything going with, what they thought was a great trade for a 10 point connection of Foles and Maclin as they turned up goose eggs...

Brown has been money past 2 weeks!

The scene at Crew Stadium Sunday

The Crew after starting 3-0 and seemed to rolling right along hit a road bump and managed to fall completely flat against the Krauts 42-19.  No production from their RBs and only one TD from their power TE lineup spelled doom.  Krauts made Crew pay for their ineptness as Rodgers beat out Cutler 16-8 while TDs from Morris, Hopkins and White completed the Blitzkrieg....

Mafia sent a message to the management of the Titans that must have got them scared as they fled to New York and made no line up changes losing 35-11.  Mafia got 24 points just from Matty "Ice" Ryan and Steve "Hood Rat" Smith.  When Mafia ownership was asked why they thought Titans didn't make any changes they simply replied "I dunno what ya talkenabout.  We would do no such things to alter such outcomes.  Forgettaboutit"

The Dragons were the victim of another late game comeback, this time to the hands of the Sinistars.  Dragons got a surprising double digit day from Roethlisberger to take a 26-6 lead into the Sunday Night game.  Sinistars had Murray and Williams of the Cowboys and struck gold with them getting a combined 24 points taking the lead 30-26.  Dragons couldn't get anything from Colston.  Sinistars threw in a 10 point connection for good measure as Brady hit Gronkowski for a TD late Monday...

Murray ran all over Dragons

The Roulette won an ugly one against the Ferrets 19-13 and basically beat them with their kicker Blair Walsh "Project"'s 15 points.  The Ferrets had the Roulette on a weak week as Broncos were on bye thus no Peyton Manning and no Wes Welker.  However the Ferrets mad scientist owner decided on a Redskin experiment loading up on Washington players; Cousins, Darrel Young (who?), Garcon, and Niles Paul. Well as Ferret Law goes the Redskins stunk it up on Thursday Night, Cousins looked terrible, Niles Paul got bee bee'd...well you get the picture...

The new leaders of the Ferrets??

Took 4 weeks but the Chislers showed they still have some fight in them yet.  They took down the expansion Cocktails 50-39 a game that got a little closer than expected.  The Green Bay Chislers finally lived up to preseason expectations scoring 26 points (Lacy, Nelson, Crosby) and "Jugghead" Rivers threw for 12 points.  The Cocktails probably had their best game getting a crazy 18 points from Asiata "Cheese" and 12 from Romo.  However it wasn't enough and they fall to 0-4.

So what is happening in the standings after 4 weeks?

In the North the separation has begun as the Wrecking Crew and Animals are tied at 3-1 while the bottom half of the division has the Ferrets and Chislers at 1-3, but the season has a long way to go. Look for the the Chislers to look a little more like last week and less like the previous 3 weeks.

Similar situation in the East as the Roulette (4-0) and Krauts (3-1) begin to pull away from the Juggernauts (1-3) and Molotov Cocktails (0-4).  Roulette get Manning back rest of the year so they will be the team to beat in the east.

The South and the West are a bit more compact as the South has three teams tied for first at 2-2, and even the Titans are only a game behind at 1-3.  Bees still the best offense in the league despite their 2-2 record so don't expect them to sit back for long and start to pull away in the east...the West is log jammed too as the Sinistars (3-1) have only a one game lead over the rest of the teams who are all 2-2.

Power Rankings:

1. Russian Roulette 4-0:  Get Manning back, only undefeated team in the CFFL












2. R.C. Wrecking Crew 3-1: Momentary lapse this week.  Still boasts a strong line up.

3. Georgia Killer Bees 2-2: Unlucky record with two losses scoring 42, 36, 50, and 42 points.

4. Kretz Krauts 3-1: Are the Krauts back?  Having Rodgers helps

5.  Stamm's Sinistars 3-1: Only one week below 29 points. Brady yet to pull his weight

6. Alex's Animals 3-1: Post 41 and 34 points past two weeks. Might have best WRs (Benjamin, Brown and Demaryius)
