CFFL Week 12

With only two weeks to go, a lot could still happen to determine the final playoff spots and division winners.  Only the Chislers have their division locked up.  Here is how the playoff picture stands today:

Division Leaders:                      Wild Card:                  In the Hunt:
1. Chislers 11-1                         5. Cocktails 9-3          Crush 5-7
2. Krauts 10-2                           6. Animals 8-4            Bums 5-7
3. Dragons 7-5                          7. Ferrets 7-5               Bees 5-7
4. Sinistars 6-6                          8. Juggernauts 6-6      Titans 5-7

No Chance:
Crew 4-8
Roulette 4-8
Mayhem 2-10
Killers 2-10

Player of the Week: Drew Brees, QB, Killers - 16 points

Brees threw for 4 TD passes in the loss against the Animals.  Too Bad the Killers don't have anything to go along with Good Ole Drew.

Game of the Week:

Titans 47  Juggernauts 41 (OT) - In a titanic comeback, the Titans stormed back late with 14 points from QB, Watson on Monday night to tie the game!  In overtime Jared Cook hauled in a 16 yard TD catch to win the game!

Bees 38  Roulette 31 - In a game that had a lot of late game heroics, the Bees would prevail.  Roulette got it started late with a TD run from Aaron Jones to take the lead 31-26.  However Monday night saw a resurrected Demaryius Thomas haul in 2 TDs to give the Bees the victory!

Other stuff:  The bye week bit the Cocktails this week.  With the Chiefs on bye, all of the fire power the Cocktails typically have was stifled as they lost to the Dragons  33-29.   It looked like it wasn't going to matter as they got a quick TD from Adams on Sunday night, but needed that second one that would never come.....

On the other hand the Chislers laughed in the face of the bye week defeating the Sinistars easily 35-24.  Chislers owner continued to have the Midas touch, picking up Lamar Jackson to start for Goff and he scores 10 points.  This along with Cubb "chubb, chubb, cubb" scoring twice sealed the deal.

Only two more weeks.  Dragons play the Killer Bees and can clinch the South with the victory.  Crush and Bums will battle it out in basically a playoff game. Winner still in and loser done. 

CFFL Power 5:  Same 5 teams, different order

1.  Cherry's Chislers 11-1: Even a bye week couldn't stop the Chislers

2.  Molotov Cocktails 9-3:  With the bye week over, they should roll on into the playoffs

3.  Kretz's Krauts 10-2:  Offense starting to hum, could give the top two some trouble.

4. Alex's Animals 8-4:  Don't count the defending champs out yet

5.  Stamm's Sinistars 6-6:  Still have lots of talent, but lately scoring down.

(Dragons get no respect.  Have yet to be named in the Power 5, but have lead the South each week)

CFFL Week 11

The Playoff Picture is really taking shape as outside of the wild card teams as of today the rest of the teams are sub .500 and 5 teams are 4-7 facing basic elimination this coming week.  Getting that 8th loss is truly a playoff death sentence. 

Player of the Week:  Patrick Mahomes QB, Cocktails - 24 points!

In an incredible Monday Night Football game between the Rams (Chislers) and the Chiefs (Cocktails), Mahomes lead all players with 24 points.  Even though the Chislers and Cocktails were not playing each other, they both had eyes on each other with the Chislers scoring 60 in their win against the Bums and Cocktails 57 in their win against the 2 point Titans. 

Playoff Picture

                                                                                 Titans 4-7

No Chance:
Mayhem 2-9
Killers 2-9

CFFL Power 5:

Goff scored 22 points

1. Cherry's Chislers - The first team to 10 wins ensures that the Chislers have clinched a playoff spot for the 25th  season and their 10th double digit win season.  They have the number one offense and as long as the Rams keep lighting it up so will the Chislers

2.  Molotov Cocktails - Right behind the Chislers are the Cocktails with their super powered Chief offense.  They continue to be a threat for multiple 11 point connections and like the Chislers, as long as the Chiefs keep lighting up so will the Cocktails.  Look for a Chislers/Cocktail Fantasy Bowl

3. Stamm's Sinistars - Leading the West, the Sinistars still have a potent offense with running backs Conner, Ingram and Peterson.  Too bad they can't run the wish bone...

4.  Alex's Animals - They closed the gap in the Power 5 with the win against the Sinistars 53-28 as everyone of their players scored except for the defense. They will once again rely on Happy Cam and could give some people trouble in the playoffs.

5.  Kretz's Krauts - I know.  Why is a 9-2 team behind two teams that are 6-5 and 7-4?  The Krauts offense has some limitations and while they keep winning, in the playoffs you have to score points consistently. 

USA! USA!

Mayhem 2-8

Ebron scored 18 points for Crush in their loss to the Chislers

18 points from Brees wasn't enough to help Killers 

However 18 points from McCaffery did help the Bees defeat the Juggs

CFFL Power 5:

1.  Cherry's Chislers - With only one loss and a powerful offense with only one week scoring below 30 points the Chislers seem to be a favorite to reach the Fantasy Bowl.  Gurley looking like league MVP

2. Molotov Cocktails:  Second in scoring with the threat to score multiple 11 point connections with their Chiefs, Cocktails may be the only team to give Chislers problems.

3.  Stamm's Sinistars: While only 6-4, they hold the number 3 offense and the emergence of Conner they seem to be the team to represent the West. 

4.  Kretz's Krauts:  Tied with the Cocktails in the East at 8-2 seem to just keep winning, unless they play the Cocktails.

5. Alex's Animals:  The defending Fantasy Football champs finally have shaken off the the hang over and appear to be ready to make a run.  Despite their minor set back last week, don't count out the champs.

CFFL Week 9

CFFL Salute to Service 

Already through 9 weeks.  The regular season will be over before you know it.  Chislers continue to roll to 8-1 but with the Animals on a 4 game win streak hold only a 2 game lead...Dragons comfortably perched on top of the South by 3 games...Cocktails and Krauts still tied, but who really thinks the Cocktails won't win this division...Sinistars up 1 on the Crush after Crush drop two in a row...

We might as well just only talk about the Chislers and Cocktails for the rest of the season just like real sports shows that just talk about the Patriots and Cowboys.  The difference here is that the Chislers and Cocktails are BOTH good teams...

Chislers 52  Killers 43 - The Killers gave the Chislers all they could handle.  Old Brees vs. Young Goff.  Well head to head Old Brees out scored him 16-13 but Goff and the Chislers had too much fire power for the Killers.  Chubb "Chubb, Chubb, Chubb" managed to score even though Killers countered with "It was the" Duke Johnson who tallied 2 scores.

Brees congratulates Goff on the Chisler win 

Cocktails 55  Killer Bees 47 - More of the same from the Cocktails.  This time three of their Chiefs were in double digits.  "Side show" Mahomes had a down game scoring only 12 points.  "Rocket" Hunt banged in 3 TDs and Kelce caught 2 TDs.  There were 3 11 point plays in this game for the Cocktails.  All the Killer Bees needed to do was to have one more 10 point connection between Rodgers and Graham to win the game, but it was not to "Bee". 

Hunt and Kelce combined for 30 points for Cocktails

Around the league...

Bums 49 Crew 24 - The Crew couldn't even beat a team that had 3 players in their starting line up that weren't even playing.  When Bums QB Ryan and RB Kamara combine for 34 points and Crew QB puts up a big goose egg you can see why...

Ryan explaining why he doesn't need a full line up

Animals 27 Crush 16 - Animals handed the Crush their second loss in a row, 27-16 behind another performance from "Happy" Cam...

Sinistars 30 Ferrets 19 - Well this week no Sinistar player scored more than 8 points.  Unfortunately for the Ferrets it was one of those only QB / Kicker scored games.  Sinistars prevailed 30-19...

Curly Joe Howard

Mayhem 36  Roulette 20 - The Mayhem might have found a potent 10 point connection between Prescott and Cooper "Coop-a-loop" as they connected for one against the Roulette beating them 36-20...

Dragons 45 Juggernauts 20 - Dragons had little trouble with the Juggs, 45-20.  They got 12 big points from Jordan "Curly Joe" Howard and 6 points form K.I. "TT boy" L.E...

TT Boy of the Dragons...

Krauts 38 Titans 15- Krauts keeping pace with the Cocktails, beating the Titans 38-15 behind 2 defensive scores from their Bear Defense. 

Players of the Week:  Alvin Kamara, Bums and Kareem Hunt, Cocktails - RBs - 18 points.
