CFFL 2021 Week 9



There were some exciting comebacks in the CFFL this week and we are starting to see some separation in the North.  The Crew have won 5 in a row and are now 8-1 leading the North by 4 games already.  The Krauts and the Cocktails continuing to win in the East.  Krauts hold a 1 game lead over Cocktails and the Sinistars are not too far behind.  The South and the West are still all pretty close.  Even the Whirlybirds at 2-7 not out of it yet...

Here is last weeks combination of close calls, comebacks and blowouts:

Wrecking Crew 48  Juggernauts 8 - Not sure what the Juggernauts were doing here, but they didn't even start a QB.  Although it wouldn't have mattered if he did.  The Crew dominated this game, without Murray.  They were led by James Conner's 3 TDs.  He now has 11 on the season and leads all RBs in TDs.

Jimmy G had 8 points in for Murray

Crush 33  Killer Bees 32 -  This was a monumental comeback!  After trading away two of their best players (Metcalf and Stafford) they finally got a win.  Maybe they got rid of locker room cancer.  Regardless they still trailed 32-6 late in the game.  The Crush would need a big night from its Steeler players.  And man did they get it.  Najee Harris started things off with a TD run, and the Freiermuth "Firemouth" scored two more times!  Add 9 more points from kicker Cairo Santos "Todd Chontos" and you have a one point victory!

Firemouth!!

Killers 41  Whirlybirds 21 - No Brady.  No Evans. No Problem.  The Killers would get 11 points from back up QB Teddy "Two Gloves" Bridgewater and 12 points from Joe Mixon.  Plus they go pick up old man Peterson, put him in the starting line up and boom he scores.  The Whirlybirds did get 12 points from Lamar Jackson, but wasn't nearly enough.  

Joe Mixon continues to produce for the Killers

Iron Legion 27  Dragons 16 - In another curios line up, the Dragons left Tua in who would not start.  Not that he had much of a choice with his back up QBs on bye (Wilson and Geno Smith).  Baker Mayfield threw for 8 points for the Legion and Kamara found the end zone for the 3rd straight week. 

Baker gets great protection and throws 2 TDs

Titans 21  Whales 15 - In a lackluster game the Whales lost their 4th in a row after starting the season 4-1 and looking like the team to beat.  Both teams only got points from their kicker and QB.  Whales were leading 15-10 going into MNF and was hoping to hold on and survive Titan kicker Boswell. Boswell kept kicking FGs and soon had 11 points to finish the night and give the Titans the win.

Boswell kicks 11 to win the game!

Sinistars 29  Chislers 6 - After blowing the doors off the Animals last week, the Chislers came out flat and could only muster 6 points from their kicker.  Allen, Cook, Kupp all came up empty.  The Sinistars starting things out with a pick 6 by the Browns D and never looked back.  Melvin Gordon would even get in the action with a TD.

Gordon scores TD in the Sinistar win

Cocktails 35  Animals 34 - This was a shoot out.  Back and forth these two teams would go.  Cocktails taking early lead with 2 TDs from Taylor on Thursday.  Then it was the Chubb Chubb Train for the Animals as Chubb would get 2 TDs of his own.  Before you know it its 34-31 for the Animals heading into the Sunday night game.  The Cocktails would only need one Stafford TD pass to win the game.  No problem, right?  Well Stafford would struggle all night.  And it really looked like he might not find the end zone.  But just as time was running out, Stafford was able to throw a TD pass in garbage time for the Cocktail win!  On a side note, had Animals started Cousins instead of Hurts they would have won easily.  Cousins had 14 points vs. Hurts' 4.

Taylor scores 2 early TDs for the Cocktails

Krauts 31  Ferrets 22 - This game much closer than the score indicates.  Ferrets led this game late 22-19 and it would come down to MNF.  Both of their QBs played a great game.  With Rodgers out with the Chinese Communist Party Wuhan Virus, the Krauts started Wentz who would get 12 points early.  Ferrets answered with Herbert's 15 points. But trailing by only 3 points and having Darnell Mooney, they would only need one TD.  They would get 2 from Mooney and the win.

Mooney Mooney Mooney scores game winner!


Player of the Week:  James Conner, RB, Wrecking Crew - 18 points
