CFFL Week 7

 Well we have reached the dreaded mid point of the season where the home and home series begins.  These two weeks can make or break a season, take a strangle hold on divisions or completely fold and get ready for next season.  Let's take a look at what has happened in the first week of the home and home series.  

The North:  Chislers have made their move to the top of the division now at 5-2 after they hung on to beat the Wrecking Crew 33-29.  Crew managed to get 14 points from Drake Maye but couldn't hold off Stafford and Matt GAY!...Their loss coupled with the Ferrets 22-10 win over the lifeless Animals have put them in a tie for second only a game behind the Chislers.  And this was with out their Jacksonville Ferrets!  

The South:  This division is still a two team race between Dominators and Bees.  Stigmatas and Warbirds sit there with just one win. The Stigamats did get that one win against the Warbirds 23-21 behind 8 points from Caleb Williams.  Warbirds have put a for sale sign outside their hanger....Dominators got a huge come from behind victory over the Bees 36-22 stretching their lead in the South by 2 games.  They got 12 big points from "Aee Bee" Cee Dee Lamb and another TD for good measure from Williams in the come back!

The East:  It was an unexpected development in the East as the bottom dwelling Cocktails got their 2nd win in a row beating the division leading Krauts 39-29.  That win puts the Cocktails back in the wildcard hunt!  Joe Burrow finally came alive for the Cocktails throwing for 16 points!  So the Sinistars took full advantage of that loss beating the Juggernauts 31-24 to tie the Krauts for first place.  Josh Jacobs "Jingleheimerschmidt" was back and immediately made an impact scoring for the Sinistars.  

The West:  It still seems like the Whales division, but in a defensive battle with the Lunatics, they lost 19-18.  The Lunatics surprisingly have won 2 in a row and now only 2 games back of the Whales.  If they can perform the impossible and sweep the Whales, they would be right in the hunt!  Too little too late for the Killers?  They finally got an outburst of scoring beating the Legion 44-37.  Goff hit Jameson Williams for two big 10 point connections in the win!

Player of the Week:  Joe Burrow, QB, Cocktails - 16 points

CFFL Week 6

Week 6 action...Not as crazy as last week, but still some good story lines...Teams pulling away in their divisions and no more undefeated teams!

Wrecking Crew 31  Killer Bees 28 - Crew dodge bullets once again after they got 12 from Maye and 12 from Swift (score once, score twice, but not thrice).  Bees had Mahomes later, and he was scoreless, and on MNF, McLaurin went out with season ending injury.  Speaking of injuries, the Crew traded for stud Davante Adams, hurried him into the lineup and he would rupture his hammy and will be out 6-10 weeks.  Balls!

Ferrets 29  Stigmatas 20 - 16 big points from Trevor "Jack-o-lantern Head" Lawrence set the tone for this game (death from above).  The Jacksonville Ferrets are putting a lot of their hopes on the Jags.  This could come back to haunt them during this Spooky Season... 

 Animals 25  Warbirds 16 - Animals managed to get two scores from Kenneth Walker (score once, score twice, but not thrice) to seal the game against the Warbirds.  Pickens and Watson couldn't find the endzone Sunday night for the Warbirds, which was disappointing.  

Chislers 26  Dominators 16 - Chislers hand the Dominators their first loss of the season behind 8 points from Stafford and 12 points from kicker Matt GAY!  Snoop Huntley came back down to earth this week scoring only 4 points for the Dominators.  

Krauts 32  Iron Legion 21 - Krauts move to 5-1, alone now in first place in the East.  They were led by McCaffrey's 2 scores late in the game for the win.  The Legion didn't get much help from their WRs other than 6 from Olave, plus kicker Aubrey had 1 measly point. 

Lunatics 33  Juggernauts 20 - Lunatics upset the Juggernauts 33-20 getting their second win of the season.  Jordan Love scored 10 points and kicker Smack "My ass and call me Sally" kicked in 11 points, plus Golden scored a 10 point connection.  In fact, 27 of the 33 Lunatic points came from Packers.

Coctials 25  Killers 11 - Killers holding fire sales of players that apparently are primed to get hurt...Tyler Shough finally played up to expectations for the Cocktails, scoring 18 points!

Whales 25  Sinistars 19 - Sinistars were up 13-12 late in the game when they would strike again with a Kittle TD catch making the score 19-12  Whales would close the gap with 5 points from Pineiro "Squiggly Mark", making the score 19-17.  2 TD passes late by Whales QB Jayden Daniels would give the Whales the victory and a 3 game lead in the West!

Player of the Week:  Tyler Shough, QB, Cocktails - 18 points

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.
