CFFL Week 6

After a week off down south in Florida, I'm back with the latest updates in the CFFL...

Cocktails 30  Wrecking Crew 20
After hanging on versus the Roulette 31-26 hoping Benjamin would not score last Monday, the Crew got burned once again Sunday Night for the second year in a row by Luck.  Luck would score 10 points Sunday night to break the 20-20 tie for the Cocktails.  "Boyd" Crowder was a big waiver pick up as the Juggs dropped him even after he scored the prior week.  Whats up with that??  Crew was once again let down by their Raider connection of Carr, Cooper and Janikowski as they only combined for 8 points.  The win moves the Cocktails to 5-1, holding a 2 game lead over the Roulette.

Luck does in the Crew once again

Titans 18  Bums 12
The Titans got their second win of the season beating a lack luster Bums squad.  This after they almost knocked off the Crush the prior week 15-11, leading that game well into Monday night last week.  The Bums scored only 12 points for the second week in a row.  Last week they had both their kicker and QB on a bye.  What has happened to the once proud Bums organization?

Crush 43 Dragons 37

McCoy celebrating one of his 3 scores!

Who can stop the Crush?  They win again to remain undefeated at 6-0.  The Dragons gave them everything they could handle and finally got production out of their 10 point connection of Manning and Beckham as they hooked up for 2 scores!  And despite Crush getting 3 TDs from McCoy this game wasn't over until the final gun on Monday Night.  Floyd scored to pull the dragons to within 6, but they would not get any more scores.  One would have to question, a question that will haunt the Dragons organization's nightmares, the move to bench starting kicker Josh Brown "Eye" in favor of Boswell.  Brown had been the starting kicker all season and was the 11th point in the 11 point connection or affectionately called the stall points when Manning would stall out.  He ended up with 9 points.  Boswell 1.  A move that ultimately cost the Dragons a victory.

Mafia 48 Bees 35
In another barn burner the Mafia came back late in the game (Monday night) down 35-30, with 18 huge points from David Johnson to win 48-35!  This with Stafford's 16 helped the Mafia keep pace with the Crush, but are still 2 games behind.  That is 5 TDs from Johnson in the past 2 weeks.  Last week he had 2 TDs to help the Mafia whack the Dragons 33-22.  The loss was the Bees 5th of the season and now sit at 1-5 in the South.  Sounds like the season's over for the Bees you say?  Well they are only 2 games behind the Mayhem and in the South you never know!

Johnson joined McCoy with 3 scores!

Mayhem 35 Sinistars 33

Brees  threw for 4 scores despite being punched in the neck

The Mayhem held on to beat the Sinistars in a match up between 2 of the best fantasy football QBs in the league over the past 10 years.  They lived up to their expectations as Brady had 12 points and Brees had 16, really the difference in the game.  Sinistars still had a chance with the Jets playing Monday night, but only got 3 points from kicker Folk.  The loss, after a blow out win over the Bees last week 37-11, dropped the Sinistars to 2 games back of the undefeated Crush.

Juggernauts 23  Ferrets 13
The Ferrets played uninspired football Sunday scoring only 13 points, getting nothing from QB Wilson, Lockett, top pick Nelson.  So it didn't take the Juggs much to come away with the victory, but they had to do it late Sunday night as they got 11 points from future CFFL Hall of Famer Vinatieri.  It puts the Ferrets at 2-4, but only a game behind the Crew and the Chislers in the North.  The Juggs remain 2 games back of the Cocktails in the East at 3-3.

Animals 26  Roulette 21 (OT)
The Animals and Roulette battled to a 21-21 tie and this game needed extra time to settle it.  Animals 21 points came from just 2 players on 1 team.  Newton had 15 and Gano had 6 from the Panthers.  No other production could be found on their team.  The Roulette were let down by team captain Rodgers as he threw only 1 TD.  Jamaal Charles came through with a TD and Hopkins had 9 points plus a safety from the Patriots helped the game move into OT.  Animals would win it with a 5 points performance by kicker Jason "Michael" Myers.  Happy Halloween!!

They won the game in OT....or was it kicker Jason Myers??

Krauts 21 Chislers 20
The Chislers lost in brutal fashion to the goose stepping Krauts after scoring 40, 47, and last weeks 51 points they put on the Juggs.  This week they could only manage 20 points, thanks in large part to Crosby's 10 points.  The Krauts would come back a bit each night.  Sunday night 12 points from Lamar Miller wold make the game 20-17.  They then had Catanzaro Monday night.  They would move closer inch by inch, point by point, as the Cardinals would score TD then another, but no FGs.  Would Chisler luck prevail once again and hang on?  Nah.  The Cardinals would score a meaningless TD late in the game and Catanzaro would kick the final XP for the win.  In some countries that's called "Chinese water torture".

It was kinda like this...kinda...eh what?

Well its that time of year once again where the leaves are changing and Fall is in full swing.  What does that mean?  It means the dreaded home and home series.  Lets take a look at what lies ahead...

Wrecking Crew vs. Ferrets...Ever since the infamous "Dallas Clark" trade this has become a nasty home and home.  The Ferrets need the wins to move into the lead in the division.  The Crew need to keep pace with the Chislers and remain in first in the North.

Chislers vs. Animals...Vader vs Luke, Earnhardt Sr vs Junior, eh...you get the idea.  With the Animals only 1 game back this could propel them into first in the North.  The Chislers will be having one eye on the Crew/Ferret games to keep the Crew off their ass.

Roulette vs. Cocktails...Roulette have dropped to 2 games back of the Cocktails and need to sweep this battle of Russia to keep the Cocktails from running away with the east.  Truly a Russian classic that will break rating records in the Mother Land.  Well really because the Russian government will only allow this game to be the only thing broadcast on the the RTN (Russian Television Network).

Krauts vs Juggernauts...With both teams 3-3 a sweep will be critical for either team to keep their division title hopes alive.  Juggernauts have historically been the red headed step child to the Krauts being thrown off by various Kraut propaganda...

Mayhem vs Bees...Mayhem get an easy draw this year taking on the Bees who are 1-5 and could easily open up a big lead in the South.  Bees, who while only have 1 win, are only 2 games back and a sweep here could put them right back in it.

Dragons vs Titans...Brother vs Brother.  Here is where the Dragons need to put together some wins and get back into contention.  They have the team to do and are playing the team that can allow them to do it.  But of course it would make his brother the Titans oh so happy to play the spoiler and ruin the Dragons playoff hopes.

Crush vs. Mafia...Crush just keep rolling on and if they sweep the Mafia will dispense one team that has a chance to catch them.  The Mafia is 2 games back and will need to at least split these games, but a sweep of the Crush will put them in a tie..but no one has been able to defeat the Crush yet.

Sinistars vs. Bums...It would appear this is a great opportunity for the Sinistars as they are going to be playing a Bums team that has only scored 24 points in the last 2 weeks.  They will need those wins in the hopes to catch the Crush.
