CFFL Week 8

 

Well we have come out on the other side of the home and home series within the divisions and man what a wild week  it was!  

So what is happening in the divisions after this series?  North still the Chislers to lose, but Crew right behind by one game.  Both 3-1 in division.  Animals making case for a playoff run after sweeping the Ferrets....In the South, Bees and Dragons on top at 4-4, but Bees have 4-0 division record....Sinistars starting to pull away in the East at 7-1 with a 4-0 division record.  Cocktails now 3 games behind at 4-4 with the Juggs...West is wild with 3 of the young bucks all tied at 4-4 for first...

Here's a look at Week 8 games:

COMEBACK GAME OF THE YEAR:  Wrecking Crew 48  Chislers 46 - So last week Chislers got no points from their Bills players and scored 55 points and won.  This week the Crew had no Murray or Hopkins and had to go with Lock.  Looked like trouble for the Crew once again.  The Chislers took a commanding 46-12 lead early behind Dalvin Cook's 24 points! The scoring just wouldn't stop at 1:00.  Crew would get a pick 6 to make it 46-18, but looked pretty bleak...

Cook plunges in for one of his 4 TDs

Jared Cook would snag a 16 yard TD pass making score 46-24, still seemingly out of reach.  DK Metcalf grabbed 2 TDs early giving a little hope to the crew with the score now 46-36.  But time was running out.  Lock hadn't done anything all game and it was moving to the fourth quarter.  That's when he would throw a 9 yard TD, then a 40 yard TD!  Game was now 46-44.  Time running out.  One last time for Lock to heave one in the end zone!  But it's incomplete!  Here comes the flag for PI and one final play of the game.  Lock would connect on a 1 yard TD pass for the win!!  An incredible finish for the Crew to keep the Chislers in sight.  

Lock wins the game on last play of the game!

Krauts 31 (W) Cocktails 31 (OT)- In another wild game the Krauts managed to survive the onslaught of Molotov Cocktails raining down at the end.  Aaron Rodgers led the Krauts with 12 points as did Tyreek Hill for the Cocktails.  But as the game moved to the final night game, all the Cocktails had left was their Eagles D and down by 8 points.  The defense would scoop and score a fumble to pull within 2 points!  Then the Krauts snapped it out of the end zone on a punt and suddenly its tied 31-31!  Unfortunately the Cocktails number one back up was Gostkowski who only had 2 points while Kraut backup kicker Zuerlein had 9 giving the Germans the win!

Rodgers scores 12 points in the win

Killer Bees 13  Titans 7 - Not exactly a barn burner, but did have some drama at the end.  Killer Bees trailed Titans 7-5 going into the Monday Night game.  Bees had Danny Dimes and Shepard.  With them going up against the Buccaneers defense, this game could end 7-5.  But it would not, as Daniel Jones tossed not one but two TDs for the Killer Bees victory.

Danny Dimes!

Mayhem 24  Dragons 23 - These two rivalry teams traded shots in the second half and it came down to the Sunday Night game.  Brandon Aiyuk would score a TD but Mayhem would counter with Keenan Allen late Sunday afternoon.  Down 24-23 going into Sunday Night, the Dragons would need a Greg Ward TD catch.  Eh Boy.  Not exactly the player you want to count on for the win.  He had 3 catches for 10 yards and of course no TDs.  

Allen for Mayhem

Animals 23  Ferrets 14 - Amazingly, considering the Ferrets incomplete line up due to both QBs on bye, the Animals had to sweat this one out.  Tied at 14 a piece, the Animals got 9 points from Carson "Circus Music" Wentz on Sunday night to take a 23-14 lead.  Ferrets were not done yet, with Ronald Jones going Monday night.  He would need to score at least twice.  He would score zero.  Animals win.

Wentz threw for 9 points but still Circus Music Wentz

Killers 33  Legion 15 - Well it's not like the Killers were too worried going into Monday night down 15-6, but had a plethora of Buccaneers playing.  It was a little hairy at first, as the Killers could only get FGs.  15-9.  15-12.  15-15 after a third FG and it was already 3rd quarter.  Not to worry.  Good ole Tom would hit Gronk for a 10 point connection to complete the come back easily.  

This 10 point connection starting to heat up

Not all games were that dramatic.  We had two big blow outs too...

Sinistars 56  Juggernauts 13 - The Juggernauts were at one time looking like they may be the favorite to win it this year.  Preseason favorites too.  Traded for Lamar Jackson.  Sinistars, the defending champs said "hold my beer" and thump the Juggs behind 16 points from Wilson and 18 huge points from Davante Adams!

Adams scored three times!

Whales 62  Crush 23 - The Whales eclipsed the 60 point mark as they just couldn't stop scoring.  Mahomes led the way with 20 points, but they also had three players score 12 each.  Giovani Bernard had 2 TDs, Robert "Ice Bucket" Woods had 2 TDs and kicker Badgley had 12 points.  Crush packing it in for the season.

Mahomes scores 20 points!

Player of the Week:  Dalvin Cook, RB, Chislers - 24 points
