CFFL Week 6

The Good Life Blog is back with its recap on the CFFL's Week 6 action.

Games of the Week:

Killer Bees 55  Mafia 45

The dreaded sideways 10 point connection!

This was a wild shoot out as both teams combined for 100 points!  Finally the Bees, who boast the number 1 offense was on the right side of a shoot out.  Andrew Luck continues to lead this team and had 12 points and leads all players with 80 points.  Luck truly having the best year of his career.  Helping the Bees tally their second 50 plus point total was "Orange" Julius Jones who had 2 TDs.  The Mafia were not going to go away quietly and if Matt Ryan played a slightly better game than just one TD they might have pulled this off.  They got 2 scores from Forte and TDs from Fitzgerald, Jackson, and Steve Smith.

Ferrets 23 Juggernauts 21
In the comeback game of the week, the Juggernauts had a 13-11 lead late in the game and got 8 more points from QB Nick Foles to take a solid 21-11 lead going into Monday Night.  The Ferrets returned to the Bizlat Kaepernick to lead the team as the "Redskin Experiment" was over.  The Ferrets would need 3 TD passes from the Bizlat.  He hadn't thrown for more than 2 all year.  Well for once Ferret law would not prevail and Kaepernick was playing the Rams.  He managed to get 3 TD passes and the come from behind victory for the struggling Ferrets.

Kaepernick brings the Ferrets back to victory!

Cocktails 47 Wrecking Crew 38

Romo telling Witten to turn his hat around.

In the upset of the week, the Cocktails won a wild one that for a while was back and forth with several lead changes.  The Cocktails started out of the gate quick with 12 big points on Thursday night from Foster.  The lead wouldn't last very long as the Crew backfield of Bernard and Jackson would both tally TDs.  Later in the day it was 2  10 point connections facing off; the Cocktails' Romo/Witten connection versus Cutler/Bennett.  On paper you would think that the Crew would have the advantage.  Romo and the Cowboys were going to Seattle.  Witten not much of a TD threat lately.  Well throw that paper out as Romo seeking some revenge on the team that drafted him and then traded him away connected with Witten.  The game was still in question when the Cocktail Defense scored a meaningless TD to tie the game at 38.  They would add 9 more from their Kicker on Sunday night.  Every starting player for the Crew scored but it wasn't enough.

Player of the Week:  Joe Flacco, QB Crush - 20 points
Joe Flacco who now just rides the pine for the Crush had to be brought in to start for Drew Brees who was on a bye.  He responded by throwing 5 TD passes in just over a quarter!  And the Crush needed everyone of those 20 points as no one else scored for them except their kicker but yet they still defeated the Dragons 27-22.  Dragons continue to struggle with lineup decisions.  Start Tannehill? Start Roethlisberger? Keep Fleener?  Drop Fleener?  Start or Bench him??....

Flacco fires for 5 TDs!

Around the league...The Bums had no problem with the Titans winning 43-10 getting 12 surprising points from Ben Tate.  Titans are still under investigation after starting Josh McCown, who isn't even starting in the NFL...The Sinistars defeated the Mayhem 35-26 lead by 16 points from Tom Brady and 13 from kicker Mike Nugent and helped them stay in first in the suddenly strong Western Division....Animals move to 5-1 beating out the Roulette 27-24.  Manning of the Roulette just not getting any help as only his 12 points and kicker Catanzaro's 12 was all the Roulette could manage....Are the Chislers back?  They have now won 3 in a row after defeating the Krauts 27-24 as Rivers went toe to toe with Rodgers both scoring 12 points.  The rest of the Chisler points came from their Packers' Nelson and Crosby "Stills and Nash"...
