CFFL Week 8

Happy Halloween from the CFFL!!!  This was a wild week with many close games and three teams that had to hang on and sweat out the entire Monday Night game to come away with the sweeps vs. their division counterparts...

Krauts 33 Juggernauts 32

Sergeant Sexy was at Kraut game

The Juggernauts gave the Krauts everything they had, but just couldn't avoid the sweep as the Krauts hang on for the win.  Juggernauts got 12 points from Palmer and 6 from newly acquired Kelley, Cooks, Edelman, but only 2 points from kicker Vinatieri.  But Lambo lived up to his Lamebo Lambo name for the Krauts and only had 1 point.  But came down to Monday night as the Juggs had the Viking D/ST.  They would not get the elusive D/ST TD or safety for the Win and the Krauts came away with the sweep of the Juggernauts and are now in a three way tie for first in the East with the Roulette and Cocktails.

Roulette 39 Cocktails 37
Speaking of the Roulette and Cocktails, after the Roulette pummeled the Cocktails in St. Petersburg (Leningrad), the Cocktails came into Moscow wanting revenge and to hold onto their first place standing in the East.  If you were to tell me that Rodgers would score 18 points for the Roulette and new Roulette Nelson would catch a TD pass from Rodgers and the Cocktails would still be in this game, I would have said, "Get the hell out of here."  But they were, thanks to Sturgis 11 point performance on Sunday night.  In fact Sturgis almost won the game if he hit one more FG.  But instead it would come down to Monday Night as the Cocktails would have Rudolph and one score would win.  Alas, Rudolph would not score and the Roulette held on for the sweep and now tied for first in the East.

Rodgers Player of the Week with 18 points

Chislers 26  Animals 24
The Chislers came into this game looking to put some major distance between them and the Animals as they already had a 2 game lead.  The Animals were let down once again by Cam Newton as he had a big fat ZERO.  Later at the press conference he was Sad Cam complaining that the Chislers took lots of cheap shots at him that the refs never called.  But once again, thanks to a kicker, Gano 12 points, the Animals still had a chance with Meredith "Baxter Birney" but the Chislers countered with Asiata "Cheese".  Neither of those stiffs would score, giving the victory to the Chislers and a 3 game lead in the North.

Chisler Cheerleaders were in the Halloween spirit

Mafia 32 Crush 30
The Mafia handed the Crush their first defeat of the season in dramatic fashion.  Led by 12 points from Matt Ryan the Mafia entered the Sunday night game down 30-26 to the Crush.  Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams were going for the Mafia and a score from either one of them would win the game.  Bryant would haul in a 22 yard TD pass late in the game for the win.  However, the Crush still lead the west by 2 games over Sinistars and Mafia.

Dez Bryant catches the game winner!

Derek Carr saluting the Crew fans

Around the league...The Crew also completed their sweep of the hapless Ferrets beating them 40-9 led by 16 points from Carr who finally hooked up with Cooper for a 10 point play.  That win, along with the Chisler win puts the Crew and Chislers up 3 games in the North...Bums upset the Sinistars 44-32 led by 14 points from Bortles and 12 from Cairo Santos "Todd Chontos".  Brady had 12 for the Sinistars in the loss...

...Dragons had little trouble this week defeating the Titans 27-8, sweeping the series.  They did it on the ground getting 12 points from Forte and 6 from Murray. The win keeps them in the hunt in the South and are only 1 game back of the Mayhem...Who snuck by the Bees 26-25.  It was a kicker battle won by the Mayhem as Succop had 12 vs. Bees' Gostkowski's 11, difference in the game...

Happy Halloween
