CFFL Week 1

 Week 1 in the books.  Some low scoring games as we begin the season.  But then again some teams had no problem putting up points, like the Legion and their 63 points!  

Prior to the opening of the season the CFFL selected this year's CFFL Hall of Fame Class of 2023.  Only one person was elected to the Hall and it was Tom Brady in his first year of eligibility.  He comes into the Hall with 649 TD passes, 8 season of 30+ TD passes with 50 in 2007.  He joins the following Hall of Famers:

2014 (Inaugural Class) - Brett Favre, Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice, Ladanian Tomlinson.

2015 - Dan Marino, Randy Moss

2016 - Peyton Manning, Marshal Faulk

Brady celebrates his induction 

Ferrets 32  Wrecking Crew 22 - In a listless performance by the Crew, the Ferrets had little problem putting them away.  Neither team lit it up.  Ferrets did get TDs from Akers and Sutton, plus a punt return for TD to end the game.  Crew had a lot of goose eggs on the board and could be a long year.

Akers scored once for Ferrets 

Chislers 22  Animals 9 - With zeros from Burrow and Chase, it sure seemed like the Animals were in prime position to win the game.  They had Prescott, Lamb Sunday night and Gabe "I want to be called Gabe!" Davis on Monday.  Well none of them scored and the Animals managed only 9 points in the loss.  Chisler luck.  And Chisler luck ruled with them finding another diamond in the rough in Puka "a Tuukka" Nacua.

"Tuukka" Nacua for the Chislers!

Killer Bees 15  Warbirds 14 - Bees squeak by the Warbirds by one point.  Not a lot of action in this game.  As with other games, this was more about who didn't score than who did.  Warbirds got no points from Chubb and only 4 from Hurts.  Watson did score 12 points for the Bees.  He will be looking forward to his massages later...

Watson gets his happy ending in Week 1

Dragons 15  Titans 7 - In another low scoring affair, the Dragons beat their brother the Titans with 15 points from their kicker.  Dragons had no other player score!  Titans were dealt a big blow when Rodgers went out with a torn achilles on the 4th play.  

Just a brutal, sad scene...

Sinistars 34  Cocktails 22 - The Sinistars looked pretty good easily beating the Cocktails.  They got 8 from Lawrence and then 6 each from their running backs Ekeler and Montgomery.  The Cocktails only points came from their QB and kicker.  Tua was impressive however, and might be putting up big points this year.  

Lawrence leads the Sinistars to victory!

Juggernauts 40  Krauts 30 - Juggernauts got the best of their divisional rival Krauts thanks to 12 points from Tyler Allgeier "Radio".  Krauts had Bijan "Mustered" Robinson but he only scored 6.  The only TD pass Kraut QB Allen threw went to Juggs' WR Diggs.  These two teams had all kinds of counters.  Juggs had Fields and Krauts had DJ Moore "Bookkeeping"  

Allgeier scores twice for the Juggs

Killers 31  Crush 27 - In a tight one, the Killers managed to outlast the Crush 31-27.  Tyreek Hill had two huge TD catches to put the game away for the Killers.  He caught a long bomb of 35 yards and then an amazing 4 yard catch in the corner of the end zone, where the ball seemed to pass through the body of the defender.  

The cheetah flew into the end zone for Killers 

Legion 63  Whales 14 - The Legion spoiled the Whales home opener and Championship banner presentation by laying 63 points on them.  It seemed like every time we turned around the Legion was scoring Sunday night.  It all started with a blocked FG for a TD followed by an INT return for a TD.  Pollard had 2 TDs and their Cowboy D shut out the Giants for another 6 points for good measure.  Ouch.

Legion D Cowboys scored 18 points!
