CFFL Week 2


 After 2 weeks there are only 4 teams with no loss.  One in each division, leading their respective divisions.  Chislers, Dragons, Sinistars and Legion.  Will they continue to roll in Week 3?  Chislers take on the Warbirds, so probably.  Dragons play the Crew, so likely the way the Crew season has been going.  Sinistars battle the Killers, so again likely, specially if the Killers continue to make poor lineup decisions.  The Legion are big favorites versus the Juggs, but this is one I like the underdog. 


But wait...what happened last week?...

Wrecking Crew 33  Animals 25 (OT) - Crew managed to hang on against the Animals to get their first win.  They took the lead late in the first half with 2 10 point connections from Smith to Lockett.  The Animals would tie the game with a Brock Purdy TD run.  Purdy would then throw to Samuel as he ran for a TD and it looked like the Animals had the lead, but it was actually a lateral so no Purdy points.  Animals couldn't get CeeDee in the end zone.  The game would go into OT where C.J. Stroud would win the game for the Crew with 2 TD passes.  

Lockett scores his second TD for Crew

Chislers 48  Ferrets 40 - The highest scoring game of the week was in the North between the Chislers and Ferrets.  Chislers won this on a great lineup and waiver wire pick up of Josh Reynolds.  He was signed Sunday only 50 minutes before kick off, started and scored 2 times, countering 2 of Ferrets QB Goff's TD passes.  Playing in the North is nasty.

Reynolds makes immediate impact for Chiz

Dragons 28  Killer Bees 24 - The Dragons defeat their bitter rival Bees behind 8 points from Lamar Jackson despite Dragons owner disgust over his QB throughout the game.  A big difference maker in the game was the Dragons' 40 yard INT return by their defense (Seahawks).  Without that, they lose.

"What you want from me?"

Warbirds 37  Titans 22 - Warbirds came out fast and finished fast against the Titans.  Early in the game (Thursday) the Warbirds got what they've been expecting out of QB Hurts with 16 points!  This included two dreaded 1 yard scrum rush TDs.  And then finished the Titans off with 2 defensive TDs to end the game (Steelers on MNF).  Warbirds will have to rely even more on Hurts as Chubb was lost for the season with a nasty knee injury.

Watt scores 2nd TD for Warbird D

Cocktails 38  Juggernauts 28 - In Week one it was the Tua show for the Cocktails in their loss.  This year they turned to the ground game getting 18 points from their backfield.  Derrick "King" Henry had a TD and Kenneth Walker had two!  Strong running game for sure.  Daniel Jones had 14 points on the bench, but do you think he will ever get the start over Tua?  Nah...

Walker scores while Juggernaut Fan staying classy

Sinistars 39  Krauts 17-  Suddenly the Krauts are 0-2, getting hammered by the Sinistars.  This will happen when all you get is points from your QB and Kicker (Allen and Butker).  The Sinistars got points from all over the place.  Tee "Mrs Sue" Higgins led the way with 12, but they got TDs from Montgomery, DeVonta Smith, and Mark Andrews.  

Higgins hauls in 2 scores for Sinistars

Legion 32  Crush 22 - The Legion continue to roll beating the Crush easily.  Two 10 point connections by Herbert to Allen will do that.  "Mother" Tucker had 9 points for the Legion as well.  Poor QB play might be the downfall of the Crush this year with Jimmy G and  Baby Hands.

Allen and Herbert connect twice for Legion

Whales 33  Killers 19 - The Whales bounced back from giving up 63 points to the Legion the week before, but they can thank owner of the Killers for overthinking the room.  The Whales were led by 12 points from Barkley but he left game with a bad ankle injury.  The Killers would have won the game had they not benched both Kirk Cousins and T.J. Hockenson.  They combined for 26 points on the bench Thursday night!  DOH!!!

Barkley dives in for the score!




Player of the Week:  Jalen Hurts, QB, Warbirds - 16 points

Fly Warbirds Fly...
