CFFL Week 9

 

Week 9 action  as the North continues to roll and the Lunatics have caught fire!

Wrecking Crew 37 Legion 19 - Wrecking Crew keep pace in the North at 6-3 with the defeat of the Legion.  12 points from Drake Maye helped, but more importantly, the Legion only got 4 points from Josh Allen on MNF.  The Legion are now only 3-6 with one of the league's best player and reigning MVP Josh Allen.  What's up with that?

Cocktails 40 (W) Killer Bees 40 (OT) - Cocktails narrowly escape defeat after taking an early 28-0 lead.  Early in the game Cocktails QB "Smoking" Joe Burrow had 18 big points as he leads the league with 110.  However the Killer Bees would mount a comeback and be down only by 6 going into MNF.  James Cook with score to tie the game at 40!  However, he couldn't find the endzone again, and the home team Cocktails got 7 points from their back up kicker Drew "Derek" Stevens to win the game.  After a slow start, the Cocktails are now only 1 game back in the East!

Warbirds 25  Sinistars 21 - Upset alert!  Upset alert!  After being crowned as the Fantasy Bowl Favorite, the Sinistars got defeated by the one, now two win, Warbirds!  Guess you could say that the Sinistars got Goffed.  Goff finished with a big fat ZERO as did his RB tandem of Jacobs and Taylor.  Instead the Warbirds were the dominate one on the ground getting 12 points from Bucky Irving and 6 more from Robinson.  The loss puts them back in a tie with the Krauts in the East.

Juggernauts 37  Stigmatas 19 - Juggernauts were able to easily knock off the Stigmatas 37-19 behind  8 points from Dak Prescott and TDs from Nacua, Washington and Bowers.  At 4-5, the Juggs are still in the hunt, but were delt a blow with Puka Nacua going on IR and likely missing the next 4 weeks.

Krauts 39  Dominators 17 - The Krauts get back into first in the East with a victory over the Dominators.  Brock Purdy led the Krauts with 14 points and his 49er teammate McCaffrey scored two TDs.  The only other player to score for the Krauts was their kicker Jake "Master" Bates indicating the Krauts still have some holes to fill...

Chislers 20 Killers 16 - The Chislers were able to hang on and get the win over the Killers, remaining in a three way tie in the North.  They got 10 important points from Dicker "The Kicker" and then late in the game they got a Luther Burden 56 yard TD catch to take the lead!  Both teams had players playing Monday (Coleman and Kincaid) but neither scored.  Kincaid dropped one in the endzone that would have won the game for the Killers. 

Lunatics 51  Animals 29 - Luantics are on fire and have won 4 in a row!  They are now tied for first place in the West with the Whales!  The Lunatics live and die by the Packers and so far have been living it up!  This week Love, Golden and Smack combined for 39 of their 51 points!  

Ferrets 25  Whales 24 - If the Luantics are on fire, the Whales have gone cold losing their 3rd in a row.  Ferrets are keeping pace with the rest of the North leading teams at 6-3 and needed every one of Cam Little's 15 points he got earlier in the day!

Player of the Week:  Jordan Love, QB, Lunatics - 20 points

CFFL Week 8

 Well we made it through the home and home series as we head for the home stretch of the regular season.  The divisions are tightening up.  Let's take a look at what happened in Week 8 of the CFFL!

In the North...The Wrecking Crew were able to avoid the sweep beating the Chislers 53-24.  They were led by 14 points from Drake Maye and 18 meaningless points from D'Andre Swift.  The win creates a three way tie in first place after the Ferrets dispensed the Animals 42-18.  Lawrence led the team with 12 points including a 10 point connection to Brian Thomas Jr. (Death From Above).  Animals now are 3-5 and their season could be in trouble.  QB play has been their nemesis all season.  This week Mayfield didn't complete a single pass!

In the South...This division is still a two team race between the Dominators and the Bees.  The Killer Bees managed to avoid the sweep as well defeating the Dominators 31-21.  Mahomes and "Routen" Tuten combined for 24 points in the win and are now 1 game back in the South.  And in a game nobody cared about between the one win Stigmatas and Warbirds, the Stigmatas got their second win of the season winning 24-10 over the Warbirds.  Didn't help that the Warbirds had 3 of their main players playing in the monsoon down in Tampa...

In the East...The past two weeks have seen some significant changes as the Sinistars are now a top of the division after the Krauts got swept by the Cocktails.  The Cocktails beat the Krauts for the second time in a row 43-22.  Smoking Joe Burrow was smoking hot, scoring 26 points in the win.  The Cocktails are now 4-4 and in the hunt for a wild card playoff spot!  After another trade, the Sinistars are quickly becoming one of the favorites to win it all.  They won 42-29 over the Juggernauts behind the 10 point connection of Goff and Williams.  Tee Higgins and Josh Jacobs both scored 2 times in the win as well.  Dangerous team.

In the West...The Whales, two weeks ago, looked like they were going to run away with the division.  But after two straight losses to the Lunatics, they only have a one game lead.  Lunatics continue to lean on their Packers of Love, Golden and Smack "My Ass".  Love had 12 points in the win...Iron Legion had an offensive explosion laying a 50-burger on the Killers 50-14.  They were led by Josh Allen's 14 points and got TDs from 4 different players...

Player of the Week:  Joe Burrow, QB, Cocktails - 26 points

With 6 weeks go go in the regular season, it's time to look at "Who's In The Hunt!"

Lunatics 4-4

Look ahead Week 10:  Sinistars at Dominators

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.
