CFFL Week 7

We are smack dab in the middle of the season and the home and home series and this week brought some interesting drama.  The Mayhem who haven't won a game, traded their best player, Watson, away and then promptly win their first game.  The Dragons trade for the best player in the league, Watson, and promptly lose.  Cocktails test the water offering Mahomes up for trade and Mahomes promptly gets injured.  And the top scoring player of the week, Aaron Rodgers sat the bench behind Dak Prescott for the Bees.  Wait, what?

As the immortal Vince Lombardi would say..."What the hell is going on out here!"

Beats me Vince, but I'll try to tell you how the week went anyway...

North...

Animals vs. Wrecking Crew and Ferrets vs. Chislers

The Crew just couldn't keep up with the Animals this week, as the Animals got 30 points from their RBs.  Edmonds "Fitzgerald" score 3 times and Murray scored twice late to put the game away despite 16 points from Crew QB Brissett.  Animals win 44-33.

Elliott would score game winner for Ferrets!

A thriller between the Ferrets and the Chislers.  The Chisler Rams finally woke up as Goff had 14 points and Zuerlein had 13.  Dalvin Cook powered in 2 TDs but going late in the game on Sunday night they only had a 5 point lead over Ferrets.  Kirk "One o'clock" Cousins had 16 points to help the cause.  The Chislers put up a goal line stance versus Keenan Allen but would have to survive Cowboys Elliott and Gallup.  He would not survive.  Elliott would dive in for a 1 yard TD and the Ferret game winner 40-39!

After Round one done in the home and home, the North Division has tightened up as the Animals and Ferrets now just one game behind the Crew...

South...

Killer Bees vs. Dragons and Titans vs. Mayhem

After the big trade things didn't turn out quite how the Dragons planned.  Watson would only score 4 points and Will Fuller would leave with a badly injured hamstring.  Maybe they would have a chance since Bees decided to keep Rodgers on the bench...he would score 26 points!  On the Bench!  Well it didn't matter as Marvin Jones would catch 4 TD passes in the Bees 52-20 domination of the Dragons.

Michel scores 3 times giving Mayhem first win!

Another thriller battle in the home and home had the Titans up 26-14 going into Monday Night.  Typically we say, as long as I have more than a 6 point lead and my opponent has one player I feel good.  Well he had a 12 point lead and Mayhem had just a RB left (I'm not even going to count the Jets defense).  But that RB for the Mayhem was Sony "Playstation" Michel.  He would score once, then twice to tie the game and add a third for the game winner 32-26 and the Mayhem's first win.


Bees move into a first place tie in the South with the Dragons with the Titans  a game behind...

East...

Cocktails vs. Juggernauts and Krauts vs. Roulette

Pop goes the knee...

Are the Cocktails in trouble?  The almost pulled off a win scoring only 13 points this week versus the Juggernauts.  Trailing 13-10 going into Sunday Night, the Juggs had Carson Wentz.  In a disaster of a day for Wentz he did manage to throw one TD that would be the game winner 14-13.  However the bigger story is Mahomes knee.  Mahomes injured it on a sneak early in the game and had to have it popped back into place on the field.  He could miss 3-5 weeks.  It will be rookie Kyler Murray's team until he returns.

Roulette seem to be fading dropping their 5th of  year, leaving guys in on bye (OBJ, not that it mattered) and just not getting any luck with David Johnson.  Krauts trying to stay in the hunt with the 46-29 victory.  Darren Waller was a nice pick up scoring twice, but when your options at QB are Flacco or Trubisky don't plan on going very far.

The loss by the Cocktails have made things a little closer and the loss of Mahomes could make things even more interesting in the back half of the season.

West...

Crush vs. Bums and Sinistars vs. Killers

The Crush had little trouble with the Bums, who had several players in that had byes, but as it turned out had little impact on the outcome of the game.  The Crush got 24 points from the Ravens special teams, getting 12 from "Mother" Tucker and 12 from the Ravens D on their way to a 34-10 win.

Lockett scores key TD in the Killer win!

In the upset of the week, and maybe of the year, the Killers upset the previously undefeated Sinistars 32-25!  The Sinistars didn't get the points they got from well known players such as McLaurin and Coleman.  Plus Wilson only had 4 points, his lowest of the season, and his only TD pass went to Killers' Lockett.  Killers were able to take advantage of that adding 10 points from Jason "Michael" Myers and 6 more from one of his Browns (and I'm not talking Cleveland here).

With a Crush win and a Sinistars loss, Crush trail by only 2 now.  Sinistars have shown their is chinks in the Sinistar Armor. 

Player of the Week:  Aaron Rodgers, QB, Bees - 26 points...wait, no he was on the bench...Marvin Jones, WR, Bees - 24 points (same team regardless...)

smh

Bring on Week 8!
