CFFL Week 5

 It was a wild week in the NFL and an equally wild week in the CFFL.  Here is the action from Week 5.

Game of the Week:  Killers 65  Juggernauts 62

This game was crazy!  Setting the record for most points scored in a game with 127 points, this was a late back and forth battle that no one saw coming.  The Killers looked pretty much dead in the water early on as the Juggernauts got 12 early points from "Peter" Parker Washington and then 16 huge points from their kicker Spencer Shrader.  They led 50-12 at one point.  The winless Killers were not going to roll over however.  In the second half of the day, Goff scored 18 points including two TDs to Jamo Williams for 2 10 point connections.  That made the score 50-42.  Killer kicker Will "Lug" Lutz then kicked in 11 points to give the Killers an unbelievable comeback as they led 53-50!  

On to the SNF and MNF.  Fumble!  Juggernauts Falcons defense scooped it up and scored to retake the lead, 56-53.  Then on MNF it was Nacua vs. Adams.  Killers' Adams caught a redzone TD pass to give the Killers a 59-56 lead!  Killers looking good right?  Wrong.  Nacua then counters with a TD of his own for the Juggernauts giving them the lead 62-59.  Killers felt that was it.  But hold on a beat!  Adams scores one last TD (score once score twice) giving the Killers an unbelievable victory 65-62!  Wow! 

Game of the Week 2: Krauts 31 Lunatics 29 

 Another late game heroics in this one.  Lunatics took a surprising lead against the Krauts 23-0 behind 12 points from Freiermuth "Firemouth".  Krauts closed the gap with Purdy's 9 points and a McCaffrey TD, 23-15.  Sunday night they got 10 big points from kicker "Looptie" Loop" taking the lead 25-23.  Then it was Williams vs. Corum on Monday night.  Lunatics' Corum would score to give the Lunatics a 29-25 lead and likely win.  But with time running out Kyren Williams scored from 1 yard out with 5 seconds left in the game as the Krauts snatch victory from the jaws of defeat as they say.  

Wrecking Crew 43 Warbirds 39 - Warbirds were scoring from everywhere; Aaron Jones TD, Pickens TD, Watson 2 scores, Warren a RUSHING TD!  But of the bench came Drake Maye for the Crew and scored 22 points!  They had the lead 43-39 and had to survive the Bijan bullets Sunday night like Neo and did! 

Killer Bees 28  Ferrets 15 - Bees took advantage of the young owner line up mishaps leaving Chase and Jefferson on the bench (both scored TDs) but ultimately didn't matter.  James Cook had 2 more scores for good measure.

Chislers 33  Stigmatas 18 - Chislers were worried?  Why?  Stigmatas remained winless as the Chislers win easily 33-18 behind 12 points from Stafford.

Dominators 49 Animals 11 - Dominators continue their undefeated season, and are quickly becoming a Fantasy Bowl favorite.  With Lamar out Snoop Huntley filled in nicely with 14 points and kicker Jason "Michael" Myers kicked in 17!

Sinistars 25  Legion 15 - Sinistars had enough of Herbert and started Brissett.  Would anyone over the offseason ever see that coming?  It paid off as Brissett had 12 points, Herbert 4 in the Sinistar victory. 

 Whales 43 (W)  Cocktails 43 (OT) - Cocktails almost pulled off the upset but came up one point short.  In this barn burner, the Cocktails got 16 big points from Burrow and Jaylen Warren had two long TDs of 50 yards and 80 yards! (score once, score twice).  Whales countered with 12 from Daniels back from his injury and 12 more from Gibbs (score once, score twice).  JSN scored a TD and the Whales led 43-41.  Cocktails had one more chance with Kincaid on Monday night.  He caught a 2 point conversion to tie the game!  But Cocktails were at home and won in OT with kicker Folk's 11 points.  

Player of the Week:  Drake Maye, QB, Wrecking Crew - 22 points

How are the divisions stacking up after 5 weeks into the 14 week season?  Well the in the Great White North it is still anybody's game. With the Crew and Chislers 3-2 and the Animals and Ferrets 2-3.  Animals need to fix their QB woes and Ferrets are going to ride Duuuuval County!...

The Sad Sack South looks to be the haves and have nots.  Dominators haven't lost a game and the Bees only have one loss while the Warbirds only have one win and the Stigmatas are winless.

In the ever tough Eastern Bloc, Krauts and Sinistars sit atop of the division at 4-1 with the Juggernauts only a game behind.  Cocktails are still trying to figure things out sitting at 1-4.  If they lose any more ground, it could be over for the Cocktails this season.

The Whales seem to be in firm control in the Wild Wild West already holding a 2 game lead over the Legion.  Lunatics and Killers in the basement and the Killers have posted the dreaded "Fire Sale" sign outside franchise headquarters.

CFFL Week 4

 After 4 weeks...The North is all tied up at 2-2...Dominators and Bees pulling away in the South...East has a three way tie at 3-1...Whales the class of the West...

Bees 26  Chislers 17 - Another goose egg for Stafford spells doom once again for the Chislers

Animals 37  Stigmatas 24 - K9 runs wild again with 2 scores for the Animals as Stigmatas still seeking first win.

Dominators 38  Wrecking Crew 18 - Cowboys Williams and Lamb lead the way for the Dominators with 24 points.

Ferrets 38  Warbirds 28 - Ferrets get win, but injuries mounting up.  Maybe the Warbirds should start both Robinsons.

Sinistars 49  Lunatics 31 - Taylor continues to lead this team to victory.  Skid Marks scores for second straight week!

Legion 32  Cocktails 21 - Allen and Burrow trade points (10 each), but Hubbard late gives the Legion the win.

Juggernauts 28  Whales 12- Juggs deal Whales their first loss of season as Whale QB woes catch up to them. 

Krauts 32  Killers 16 - Killers ready for a fire sale.  Krauts running game of Williams and McCaffrey dominate. 

Player of the Week:  Javonte Williams, RB, Dominators - 18 points

Next Week's Game of the Week:  Animals at Dominators (-2) - Dominators try to remain undefeated against a tough Animals team. Walker vs. Williams.  Lamar likely out for the Dominators.  I think Dominators lose their first game of the season...

CFFL Week 3

 With three weeks in the books, we are already seeing a slight separation with some teams.  There are 2 undefeated teams, Dominators and Whales, with the Whales really looking good.  And then there are the Killers and Stigmatas which both look really bad at 0-3.  Can they turn it around?  They better start soon!

Week 3's action:

Wrecking Crew 22  Stigmatas 8

While Caleb Williams is out for the Stigmatas, this team will be struggling.  They could only get 6 points from their kicker and a 2 point conversion.  The once dangerous running attack of the Crew (at least in Week 1) has been silent, this week scoring zip.  However Crew kicker Boswell did finally manage a good week with 12 points.

Killer Bees 37  Animals 28

Everyone got in the act for the Killer Bees getting scoring from every player except the defense and Bateman.  Cook and "Routen" Tuten both had TDs along with Kelce and McLaurin.  The Animals QB situation is brutal between Daniel Jones and Mayfield.  Jones had only 4 points and Mayfield dislocated his thumb.

Chislers 48  Warbirds 31

Chislers easily survived an early 12 point lead by the Warbirds and Bijan Robinson and rolled to a 48-31 win.  "King Rat Tail" Henry scored 2 more times and already has 6 TDs on this young season.  Then all WRs scored for the Chislers (Burden, Evans, and Metcalf).  It didn't hurt either on MNF that Warbird QB and Kicker came up lame scoring only a total of 7 points.

Dominators 23 (W) Ferrets 23 (OT)

The Dominators were able to come out victorious in OT with their back up kicker scoring 12 points!  "Jack-O-Lantern Head" Lawrence did score 12 points for the Ferrets but an ankle injury to Justin "Grill" Jefferson certainly put the hurt on the Ferret offense.  Lamar finished with 8 points for the Dominators. 

Sinistars 37  Killers 10

Sinistars had little trouble dispensing the Killers with 2 TDs from George Kittle.  Hell even Woody "Skid" Marks got in the action scoring a TD.  Killers are reeling, and only got 8 points from Goff and 2 whole points from kicker Lutz.  

Cocktails 25  Lunatics 22

Cocktails finally got off the schneid with a win over the Lunatics.  They shook things up benching Burrow and starting Shough and it paid off.  Shough ended up with 16 points, 4 more than Burrow, and that was the difference in the game! Lunatics did manage one 10 point connection between Love and Golden, but not much else.  

Juggernauts 35 Legion 23

Not many times do you see a team that has more points on the bench than starting win.  Juggernauts had 47 points on the bench but still won against the Legion.  Rookie Jeremiyah Love finally got in the end zone for the Juggs as did Brock Bowers.  

Whales 46  Krauts 38

With 3 TDs from Gibbs and two more from JSN the whales looked like they were going to run away with it.  However the Krauts tried to make it a game getting 16 points from Brock Purdy late along with a McCaffrey score and with Jefferson out, Jordan Addison "Not Madison" caught a TD pass.  The really needed just two more scores but came up short.

Player of the Week:  Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Whales - 18 points

Week 4 Games:

Dominators (3-0) at Wrecking Crew (2-1) (PK)  - All depends if the Crew can get their running game going of Swift and Brown or if Dominators Lamar Jackson takes over the game.  Take the Crew.

Killer Bees (2-1) at Chislers (2-1) (+2) - Not sure how the Bees are a favorite against the Chislers.  Vegas Trap game? I'll stick with Henry and the Chislers plus the points!

Stigmatas (0-3) at Animals (1-2) (-6) - Animals need to figure out their QB situation.  But so does the Stigmatas.  I don't know where the points are going to come from for the Stigmatas.  Lay the 6 with the Animals.

Warbirds (1-2) at Ferrets (1-2) (+4) - Ferrets might be without Jefferson, but I think Lawrence carries the team this week.  Take the points.

Lunatics (1-2) at Sinistars (2-1) (-6) - Sinistars have a lot of firepower. Lunatics lost one of their best RB to IR.  Lay the 6 and take the Sinistars in a rout.

Legion (1-2) at Cocktails (1-2) (+9) - Josh Allen won't lose two in a row.  However 9 points is a lot.  I would take the 9 but Legion previal.

Whales (3-0) at Juggernauts (2-1) (+7) - Whales are rolling.  Gibbs, Skattebo, JSN and Diggs Dig Dug are a dangerous group.  Lay the 7.

Killers (0-3) at Krauts (2-1) (-3) - Killers are reeling right now.  Krauts bounce back after tough loss to the Whales.  Easily cover the 3.

CFFL Week 2

 Here is the recap of Week 2 action!

In the North, both the old guards got back in the win column against the young bucks.  The Crew beat the Animals 33-30 in a nail biter.  After Bryce Young and "Turd" Ferguson combined for 24 points the Crew had to dodge bullets like Neo as Animal RB Kenneth Walker had multiple runs inside the 1 yard line but the Crew goal line D held!...Chisler QB Matt Stafford was able to complete the comeback against the Ferrets with 16 points on MNF for the 24-19 win!  Ferrets got zero points from "Jack-O-Lantern" Head and nothing from the Grill!  

In the South...Stigmatas would go down to the Killer Bees as they only could score points from their kicker.  QB Caleb Williams went out with a scary injury that turned out to be just a hammy and should be back, but set the tone for the game.  Mahomes had 12 points in the 36-15 win for the Bees as he appears to be fully recovered from his injury last year...Dominators ended on top against the Warbirds 35-26 thanks to 2 big TDs from CeeDee Lamb.  Warbirds B squared back field of Bijan and Bucky came up goose eggs.  

In the East...Cocktails can't seem to get it going after a 3-11 season last year, they are starting this year 0-2.  This week the Juggernauts got big games from QB and Kicker as Dak scored 16 and McLaughlin scored 13 in the 35-24 win...The Krauts goosed stepped through the Sinistars 43-25 behind 26 combined points between their pair of 49ers, Purdy and McCaffrey.  Sinistars Taylor had 2 more TDs in the loss.

And in the West...Iron Legion MVP QB Josh "Mother Fucking" Allen scored 20 or more points for second consecutive week (24), but this time the Legion got the win, 49-16 over the Lunatics.  Kicker Aubrey had 13 points as well...The Whales and Killers lit up the score board but the Whales came out victorious, 51-42!  JSN was the key to the victory scoring 3 times!  Rumor has it owner of the Whales didn't see any of the scores.  He was seen in Vegas on various roulette tables during the game...

Player of the Week:  Josh Allen, QB, Legion - 24 points

Next Weeks Games:

Wrecking Crew (1-1) at Stigmatas (0-2) (+6) - Will Caleb play? If not it's Malik Willis...lay the points!

Animals (1-1) at Killer Bees (1-1) (-7) - QBs for Animals not threatening, but they sill have Montgomery and Walker, and I'm getting 7 points?  Take the points!

Chislers (1-1) at Warbirds (1-1) (PK) - Line is probably right.  I see a Warbird victory here as Stafford struggles some against a tough D.

Ferrets (1-1) at Dominators (2-0) (-4) - Ferrets bounce back this week and hand Dominators first loss.  Take the Ferrets and the points!

Sinistars (1-1) at Killers (0-2) (+4) - Killers wasted 42 points last week in loss.  Sinistars bounce back.  Take the points.

Cocktails (0-2) at Lunatics (1-1) (+1) - Flip a coin with these lineups.  I'll lean Cocktails to get their first win of the season.

Juggernauts (1-1) at Legion (1-1) (-8) - It's the Juggs turn to face the Josh Allen buzz saw.  8 points is a lot, but I think you lay them anyway!

Krauts (2-0) at Whales (2-0) (+3) - Match up of the week with both teams undefeated.  But with Daniels out and possibly starting Kyler Murray, I think the Krauts cover easy.  

CFFL Week 1

 We have kicked off the 42nd season of the CFFL!  Here is the action from a wild Week 1.

Ferrets 40  Wrecking Crew 29

The defending champ Ferrets picked up right were they left off.  For a while it looked like the only points were going to come from their QB and Kicker.  Trevor "Jack-o-lantern Head" Lawrence had 16 points and Cam "Thank you very" Little had 10.  And if that stayed the case, they would lose.  But they called the "Black guy with the grille go deep" play twice and Justin Jefferson scored both times to give them the win.  The Crew rushing attack was wasted in the loss as D'Andre "Taylor" Swift had 3 scores and Brown added one more.  

Animals 58  Chislers 38

Speaking of rushing attacks the Chislers and Animals matched running scores, score for score.  Derrick "King Rat Tail" Henry had 3 scores, but so did Animal Montgomery.  Ashton Jeanty had 2 scores.  But so did Kenneth Walker for the Animals.  With no points from Stafford and only 2 points from Dicker "The Kicker" the Chislers were in trouble.  Animals got 2 more TDs from "Flying" St. Brown and never looked back.

Warbirds 48  Killer Bees 21

Warbirds had little problem exterminating the Bees 48-21, which was 48-7 before Monday Night.  Hurts had 3 TD passes and "Houdini" Watson caught 2 TDs including an 81 yard bomb!  Warbirds also got TDs from both RBs (Irving and Robinson) while surprisingly the Bees got zero points from James Cook.  Not a good start for the Bees.

Dominators 41  Stigmatas 39

The new expansion team Stigmatas gave the Dominators all they could handle. Caleb Williams was huge in this game scoring 20 points for the Stigmatas.  The Dominators looked like they were done, but Javonte Williams was able to score 2 times on Sunday night to give them the lead.  Stigmatas were not done yet and had kicker Butker, Waddle and Dobbins on Monday night.  Surely they could get 10 points to pull off the win.  Butker kicked 7 points in, but Waddle and Dobbins came up empty and the Dominators prevailed. 

Sinistars 33  Cocktails 19

Jonathan Taylor also picked up where he left off, scoring 2 TDs for the Sinistars in the easy win over the Cocktails.  If it wasn't for Cocktail kicker McPherson's 15 points this wouldn't have been even this close.  They got only 4 points from Burrow and the rest of the team stunk.  

Krauts 42  Juggernauts 31

The Krauts and Juggernauts battled to a tie in regulation.  Brock Purdy got things going with 12 points early on Thursday Night along with a Kyren Williams TD.  He would get 7 more points from kicker Jake "Master" Bates.  Sunday the Juggernauts countered with TDs from Omarion Hampton "Inn", "Peter" Parker Washington, and Juwan Johnson.  They would trail the Krauts 25-23 heading into Sunday Night.  Dak Prescott would throw 2 TDs to give them the lead 31-25!  But not so fast!  Krauts had Rashee Rice Monday night and he would score to send the game into OT where Kraut back up kicker ended it with 11 points!

Lunatics 36  Killers 18

Not the start that the Killers were looking for getting only 8 from Goff and 6 from their defense on Sunday.  The Lunatics capitalized on the Packer combination of Love and Smack "My ass and call me Sally" as they scored 18 points alone!  Two more scores from Goedert and this game was over!

Whales 41  Legion 40

What a barn burner of a game!!  The Whales took a quick 15-0 lead Thursday night getting 9 points from kicker "squiggle mark" Pineiro and 6 from JSN.  But the Legion roared back with Josh "Mother Fucking" Allen taking control of the game scoring a huge 20 points that included two rushing TDs and a 10 point connection pass to DJ "T.C." Moore "Bookkeeping".  The Legion led 38-35 going into the Sunday night game, and with Aubrey as the kicker, certainly looked like they were in the driver's seat.  Whales RB Skattebo would score a quick TD giving the lead back to the Whales 41-38.  Aubrey would kick only two XP, miss one, and not attempt a single FG!!  How can that be?  Oh it be! Whales survive 41-40.

Players of the Week:  Caleb Williams QB, Stigmatas and Josh Allen, QB, Legion both with 20 points.  Ironically both of their teams lost.  Wait what?

Next Week 2 games:

Animals (1-0) at Wrecking Crew (0-1) (+3) - Crew try to get things right.  Animals just want to keep rolling on.  Take the Animals and lay the points

Ferrets (1-0) at Chislers (0-2) (-2) - Despite their loss they are favored in this game.  If they keep running the ball the way they did in Week 1 they should roll.

Bees (0-1) at Stigmatas (0-1) (+10)  Line seems lopsided.  Both teams don't want to drop to 0-2.  Take the points in a close one.  

Cocktails (0-1) at Juggernauts (0-1) (-3) - Another key game in the division where both teams  don't want to be down 2 games in the division.  I look for a Cocktail rebound this week.

Lunatics (1-0) at Legion (0-1) (-7) - Lunatics will be facing a different team this week with Josh Allen at the helm.  Lay the points with the Legion

Whales (1-0) at Killers (0-1) (+8) - Killers will be better this week, but not good enough to not drop to 0-2 vs the Whales.
