CFFL Week 6

 Hard to believe we are through Week 6 and almost halfway through the regular season.  Week 5 saw the final undefeated team go down as the Chislers got upset by the Titans!  

In the North the Chislers lead Animals by one game and the Ferrets are close behind too.  The Crew are quickly fading away at 2-4.  Its a rebuilding year for the Crew...

The South is shaping up to be a two team race between the Dragons (4-2) and the Warbirds (3-3).  Titans are a distant 1-5...

The East is just like the North, with the Sinistars on top at 5-1 leading the Juggs by 1 game.  Cocktails lurking at 3-3.  Surprisingly the Krauts are the one fading away...

And in the West it is looking like a runaway for the Legion at 5-1.  Next closest are the Killers and Whales at 2-4.  Crush have already announced a fire sale at 1-5.  

Week 6's action:  

Killer Bees 29  Wrecking Crew 7 - Crew's only points came from their kicker Cairo Santos "Todd Chontos".  Pathetic.  The Bees had a balance scoring attack getting 6 each from Stevenson, Cooper Kupp and Curtis Samuel.

Kupp scores his first TD for the Bees

Dragons 42  Ferrets 22 - NoStart was a MustStart as Mostert found paydirt 3 times for 18 big points in the rout of the Ferrets.  A 10 point connection started things off early Sunday morning as Jackson hit Flowers for a TD to set the tone.

Flowers and Jackson connect for 10

Animals 24  Warbirds 22 - Not often is it a kicker that cost you a game.  Think back to Fantasy Bowl XXII where all the Crew needed was 6 points from Robbie Gould on the last game of the year to beat the Crush, and didn't...Well all the Warbirds needed was 3 points from their kicker.  Just a measly FG!  Nope.  Lutz would not get a single chance, plus their back up kicker was on a bye.  Animals Kicker Brett Maher didn't have any issues, scoring 14 points!

Maher kicked in 14 points for Animals

Titans 41  Chislers 22 - The Titans upset the Chislers and got their first win of the year!  They hadn't scored over 22 points all season.  So why not score 41 the week they play the Chislers.  Titan Kicker Dustin "Dusty" Hopkins scored 13 points and they got TDs from Hubbard, Swift, Thielen, and Waddle!

Waddle, waddle, waddle...

Iron Legion 22  Krauts 21 - The Legion were trailing the Krauts 21-2 into Monday Night, but they weren't worried.  They had Herbert, Pollard, Allen, Everett and the Cowboys D!  Turns out the Legion would get two 10 point connections from Herbert.  One to Keenan Allena and the other to Gerald Everett!

Herbert tossed two 10 point connections!

Juggernauts 11 Crush 10 - This has to be one of the all time lowest scoring CFFL game in history.  Juggernauts got a TD from McCaffrey for his 15th straight game with a TD but they might be concerned with an injury that prevented him from finishing the game.  

McCaffrey scored in a sloppy game

Cocktails 35  Killers 23 - The Cocktails were able to dispense of the Killers with relative easy behind 12 points from their QB Tua Tagovailoa.  They also got scores from each of their RBs; Derrick "King" Henry and Kenneth Walker III. 

Tua staying healthy and tossing TDs

Sinistars 20  Whales 19 - In a close one, the Sinistars edged the Whales by one point.  They were led by a 10 point connection from Lawrence to "Captain" Kirk.  Injuries continue to mount up for the Sinistars.  Gibbs is already out, Higgins had missed a few games but could be back.  Montgomery was hurt in the game as was their star QB Lawrence.  

Kirk and Lawrence lead the Sinistars

Player of the Week - Raheem Mostert, RB, Dragons - 18 points

Next week we enter the dreaded Home and Home series:

Chislers get to pound on the Crew for two weeks in a row while the Animals v. Ferrets battle will dictate who will have an inside track to catch the Chislers and who should just give up...

Big home and home pitting Dragons v. Warbirds.  Dragons could really stretch their lead in the South or the Warbirds could fly past them.  Bees and Titans..Bees hope for a sweep to try to move up the wild card ladder...

Sinistars take on the Juggs in the the East home and home and is equally important as the South first place battle.  Coctails hope to pound the Krauts to keep pace in the East, but the Krauts will be looking to play the role of spoiler.

The Legion just hope to keep trucking along and will get the Killers for two weeks in a row.  Whales will play a depleted Crush team and hope to sweep them to have an outside chance in the West.
