CFFL 2021 Week 6 & 7

 After a trip out west for the Epic Bro Sports Trip, here is a quick recap of the past two weeks in the CFFL.

Week 6 saw the Crew beat their bitter rival the Cush 37-30 behind 16 points from Murray, however that was matched by Stafford's 16 points.  The difference maker was CeeDee Lamb's 12 points...The Ferrets seemed to have come alive having little trouble with the Legion 41-16.  Henry had another 18 points for the Ferrets.  Legion have major QB issues (Fields and Mills)...Animals hung on against the Killers getting 17 points early from QB Jalen Hurts...Chislers dropped a Fiftyburger on the Whales 55-28.  They had 4 players in double digits. Allen 14, Henderson 12, Kupp 12, Bass 11....Krauts blitzkrieged the Geno Smith led Dragons 45-32.  Rodgers had 14 and Hopkins had 12 for the surging Krauts...Juggernauts win a nail biter against the Bees 29-26 again led by their Cowboys, Prescott (12) and Greg the Leg (11)...Cocktails thumped the struggling Whirlybirds 52-17.  Jonathan Taylor had 12 points for the Cocktails and is becoming quite the fantasy stud...Sinistars beat the Titans 20-16 in a snoozer. 

Player of the Week:  Derrick "Rat Tail" Henry, RB, Ferrets - 18 points

Week 7 action.  The home and home series begins:

Wrecking Crew 50  Ferrets 41 - The Crew were able to hang on against the Ferrets after getting 12 from Murray and 12 from Harris, but key was TDs by Michael Pittman "Eh?" and Deebo "Dabo Sweeny" Samuel late Sunday Night to put the game out of reach.  Ferrets did get every player except their D so score but needed a huge game out of Winston to pull this one off.  

Murray throws for 3 TDs in the win

Animals 33 Chislers 19 - Animals beat up an Allen-less team who had to start Darnold, who came up with 0 points, despite Chislers getting 18 points from their Ram WRs Jefferson and Kupp.  Animals were led by Hurts' 9 points and Kicker Nick "the Dick" Folk's 12.

Hurts scores 9 points for Animals

Killer Bees 26  Whirlybirds 10 - The Whirlybirds woes continue after starting 2-0 they have dropped 5 in a row.  They didn't even have a kicker in the lineup.  Maybe they thought they were playing in "Other League".  

Titans 36  Dragons 27 - The Titans take game one of the brother battle getting 10 points from Tannehill and TDs from their TEs Ertz and "I don't always play Fantasy Football, but when I do I draft" Gesicki.

"Why is my nickname so long??"

Cocktails 19  Sinistars 18 - Cocktails got two late scores to take the lead and then had to sweat out the Monday Night game.  Taylor and Alie-Cox got the Cocktails the lead late Sunday night, but the Sinistars were not done yet.  They had Alex Collins yet to go Monday night.  He would not sniff the end zone and Cocktails hang on.  Sinistars once again are involved in a low scoring affair.  

Taylor scores the eventual game winner in the rain

Krauts 31  Juggernauts 27 - Krauts keep on goosestepping this time over their counterpart Juggernauts.  Aaron Rodgers led this team with another double digit performance, scoring 12 points.  This is the Krauts 4th win a row as they lead the East by one game. 

Rodgers the General for the Kraut Army

Killers 48 Crush 34 - Holy 10 point connection Batman!  The Killers strike with three 10 point connections between Brady and Evans!  The two would combine for 34 points. Seems like the Crush run into teams they have two players that combine for a bunch of points all the time...

Three 10 point connections for these two!

Iron Legion 25  Whales 23 - The Legion would get the win with a game winning TD reception from Alvin Kamara on Monday Night to defeat the Whales 25-23 in dramatic fashion.  The Whales star KC players had a rough day as Mahomes and Hill were completely shut out.  That doesn't happen often or in fact, ever!

Kamara scores the game winning TD for Legion!

Player of the Week:  Mike Evans, WR, Killers - 18 points

CFFL 2021 Week 5

 5 weeks in and everyone still in it.  Albeit lots of teams at 2-3, but no real separation yet in the league.  The Crew has a 2 game lead now in the North.  Dragons and Bees tied for first in the South.  Sinistars and Krauts tied for first in the East.  Whales have 2 game lead in the West.

Here is what happened this past week...

Wrecking Crew 48  Killers 45 - Crew were involved in another shootout and had to score late with a Knox TD and hold Latavius Murray out of the end zone on Monday night to win the game.  Brady lit it up throwing for 20 points and two 10 point connections to Evans.  Crew managed to get points from every player except their defense.

Knox scored the game winning TD!

Ferrets 49  Crush 36 - Ferrets basically won this game with 2 players.  Herbert and Henry.  Herbert threw for 23 points and Derrick "Rat Tail" Henry ran for 3 more!  The Crush receivers kept them in the game as Ja'Marr "No more dropsies" Chase and DK Metcalf combined for 18 points.  And of course Najee Harris scored again, god damnit...

Henry scored 3 times for the Ferrets!

Legion 46  Chislers 38 - The Chislers made this more of a game than it should have been after his 4 Ram players netted him a total of 6 points early.  The Legion controlled the game on the ground with 36 points from their running backs.  Living up to preseason expectations, Ekeler scored 18 and Kamara scored 12.  Chislers made a major line up mistake starting Van Jefferson instead of Emmanuel Sanders, who caught 2 TD passes from Allen that would have won the game...

Ekeler scores 3 times for the Iron Legion!

Whales 42  Animals 37 - Whales won in another thriller.  They were leading 34-31 late in the game when the Animals' Cowboy D returned a pick for a TD to take a 37-34 lead.  But with Mahomes and Hill coming Sunday Night, the Whales weren't worried.  Mahomes would throw 2 TDs to give the Whales a 42-37 win.  Animals weak link appears to be their QB (Cousins and Hurts)  Cousins started and scored 4, while Hurts on the bench scored 13...

Mahomes wins the game for the Whales again

Dragons 25  Sinistars 13 - While this was the lowest scoring game of the week, it did see some late game dramatics.  Dragons led the Sinistars 10-7 late in the game as neither team seemed to want to score. Sinistars would get a Kelce TD to make the score 13-10 going into Monday night.  Marquise "Hollywood" Brown would get 2 TDs and Tucker 3 points to pull ahead for the win 25-13.

Hollywood Brown wins it for the Dragons!

Cocktails 31  Titans 19 - The Cocktails rolled this week against the Titans despite the game tied at 19 late in the game.  But the game was basically over.  The Titans were out of players and the Cocktails being at home, held the tie breaker in OT.  They didn't need OT however as Jonathan Taylor busted out for 2 TDs on MNF.  The Cocktail front office still under scrutiny with their move of starting Zach Wilson (1 point) over Baker Mayfield (9 points)...

Taylor busts out for the Cocktails

Juggernauts 38  Warbirds 34 - The Juggernauts got full production from their Cowboy connections as Prescott scored 14, Elliott 12 and Zuerlein 14 points.  That is all who scored for the Juggs.  And it would be enough.  The Whirlybirds QB Lamar Jackson, however, did all he could to try to bring the Birds back in this game scoring 18 points on MNF and just needed one more TD to win the game.

Dak and Zeke celebrating for the Juggs

Krauts 47  Killer Bees 25 - The Krauts goose stepped all over the Bees getting 12 points from Antonio "Debbie" Gibson and and 16 huge points late by Mark Andrews "Sisters"  Aaron Rodgers had a mediocre day throwing only for 2 scores. 

Gibson gets two TDs for the Krauts

And this is the Andrews Sisters for you youngsters...

Player of the Week:  Justin Herbert, QB, Ferrets - 23 points

CFFL 2021 Week 4

 Well after 4 weeks there are no unbeaten teams left in the CFFL as the Crew and the Sinistars go down.  It was a wild week with two teams in the same game going over 50, a come back win on Monday Night and a game that went into overtime!  

Here is what happened in Week 4...

Whales  56  Wrecking Crew 52 - One week the Whales get 29 points from a kicker and their defense.  This week they get 38 points from just two players.  Those two players were Mahomes and Hill as they connected for 3 10 point connections.  It surely looked like it was over with for the Crew as the Whales took a commanding 56-12 lead.  They were cursing themselves that they benched McLaurin after watching those idiot talking heads on Fantasy Now or some show, but seemed like it wouldn't matter.  But as the second half rolled around the Crew started their comeback getting 2 scores each from Conner and Deebo "Dabo Sweeny" Samuel, plus 8 from Murrary and GAY! Before you know it, it is only 56-52!  All the Crew needed was a Mike Williams TD catch Monday Night.  The Chargers would score 4 TDs but none to Williams and the Whales would hang on!  Quite the sweat I'm sure.

Hill scores three 10 point connections!

Crush 36  Chislers 30 (OT) - The Chislers would rely on kicker Tyler "Sea" Bass to keep them in the game, as he scored 16 huge points.  They got no production form their running game of Cook and Henderson while the Crush would see both their backs score.  The Chislers held onto a slim 30-26 lead going into Monday night where they would face Crush kicker Vizcaino. He would kick one XP, then another, then another and it was a 30-29 game with just over 5 minutes left when he would get one more to tie the game sending into OT where Cairo Santos "Todd Chontos" would have 6 points giving the Crush a 36-30 victory!

Harris dives in for a Crush TD

Animals 27  Iron Legion 22 - This became a bit of a thriller late in the game as Monday night rolled around.  After getting 12 points from James Robinson, the Animals went into Monday night leading 21-10.  The Legion had Ekeler and he would score first closing the lead to 21-16.  Animals countered with Darren Waller, scoring late making it 27-16.  Good thing he did, because Ekeler would get a second TD with 5 minutes to play that could have won the game!

Robinson scores twice for the Animals

Killers 27  Ferrets 16 - The Killers had little trouble with the Ferrets in a rocking chair victory.  They got a TD each out of their backs Mixon and Murray.  Ferrets went with Winston instead of Herbert (a curious move).  Winston  would throw for only 1 TD while Herbert threw for 3.  However in the end it wouldn't have matter.  Killers picked a good week to have their best players lay an egg. Neither Brady nor Mike Evans could find the end zone.  

Joe Mixon scores for Killers but might be out

Killer Bees 28  Sinistars 15 - The Killer Bees upset the undefeated Sinistars behind 22 points from their Falcons' Matt "Shark Eyes" Ryan and Younghoe "Cream on Sum Yong Guy" Koo. This was the Killer Bees 3rd win in  a row as they now lead the South.  The Sinistars struggled as Kelce came up empty as did their backs of Carson and Gordon.  Carr did have 8 points but definitely wasn't enough. 

Matt Ryan lit it up for the Killer Bees

 Dragons 31  Cocktails 18 - The Cocktails woes continue as they dropped their 3rd in a row.  They certainly have issues in the passing game.  Mayfield only had 1 point, but back up Big Ben wasn't much better with only 4.  Dragons on the other hand get Russell Wilson back on track scoring 14 points after two weeks of single digit production. And Marquise "Downtown Hollywood" Brown finally hung onto the ball, with a highlight reel TD diving catch.

Now that's better Brown!

Krauts 45  Warbirds 26 -  The Krauts shot down the Warbirds 45-26 turning them into Whirlybirds.  Which might be their official name if they keep losing.  Aaron Rodgers had 14 points and David Montgomery scored twice.  However Montgomery would leave the game with an injury and is expected to be out 4-5 weeks with a knee sprain.  The one highlight for the Whirlybirds was D.J. "T.C." Moore "Bookkeeping" scoring 2 TDs.

Rodgers just being Rodgers

Titans 42  Juggernauts 28 - After losing the first two games of the season, it looked like the Titans would be heading toward a typical Titan season, but since then they have won 2 in a row taking care of the Juggernauts 42-28.  Barkley had 2 scores for the Titans.  Could he be back?  If so that will greatly help the Titans.  It was a wasted performance by Dak Prescott for the Juggs as he had 16 points.  In fact all 28 points came from their Cowboy Connection (Dak, Zeke, and Greg the Leg).  They are going to need some other players to step up if they want to get back on the winning track.

Is Barkley back?

Player of the Week:  Patrick Mahomes, QB, Whales - 20 points.
