CFFL Week 8

We are finally done with the home and home series in the CFFL and I don't know about you, but I am relieved its over.  Let's take a look at how the key home and home series ended up.

Chislers 46  Wrecking Crew 45
Chislers completed the sweep of the Crew to send the Crew to 4-4 and at the bottom of the North.  The game ended a lot closer than the Chislers would have liked.  After Goff hit Gurley for an 11 point play late and Thielen scored Sunday night Chislers seemed to be in a comfortable 46-33 lead.  James "Must have the" White scored for the Crew but the 2 point conversion didn't go to White and was no good for the Pats.  The Patriot D would then get a pick 6 very late in the game to close to within one but there wasn't enough time and the Chislers prevailed. 

Gurley and Goff came up big for the Chislers

Cocktails 36  Krauts 25
As predicted by the Cocktails they would sweep the Krauts and take control of the Eastern Bloc.  While it wasn't a typical Cocktails/Crush point explosion, they did get 34 of their 36 points from their Chief players.  Mahomes had another big game with 16 points. 

Mahomes continues to shine for the Cocktails

Mayhem 41  Dragons 28
The Mayhem got some revenge defeating the Dragons by getting points from every player except their defense.  I mean it was a classic QB battle between Josh "Hebrew Hammer" Rosen and C.J. "Who's this guy" Beathard.  The Dragons remain 2 games ahead of the rest in the division, so they are not too worried...

Rough day for the Hebrew Hammer and the Dragons

Sinistars 62  Crush 36
The Sinistars were not happy about their performance last week and came into this game firing scoring 62 points.  Yet again multiple people tallied 12 points or more for the Sinistars.  This week it was Wilson, Conner and Peterson.  This is the third week the Sinistars have done that, and the 4th that at least 2 people have scored 12 points each.  Watson had enough of carrying the Crush and after scoring 20 points in the loss demanded a trade.  Let's see how happy he is as a Titan.  The West is all tied up now.

Peterson found fountain of youth with Sinistars?

Roulette 52  Juggernauts 17
Not to be outdone, the Roulette finally got their offense going, after they traded some of their malcontents in their locker room.  They had 3 players with 12 and a player with 10 (Wentz, Drake, Watkins, Vinatieri).

Wentz led the Roulette with 3 TD passes

Animals 62 Ferrets 25
And Animals followed suit with 3 players at 12 or more (Newton "Happy Cam" 14, Jones and Hopkins both with 12) in the massacre of the Ferrets.  This game was over after Thursday night when they took an early 24-0 lead and never looked back.

It was a Happy Cam Day for the Animals

Other games...Bums took care of business against the hapless Killers 30-10 behind 24 points from their Saints Kamara and Lutz versus only 4 points from the Killer's Saints Brees and Watson...Titans defeated the Bees 31-24.  After a disappointing performance from Brady, Titans made a bold move and traded him away for Deshaun Watson. Time will tell if that move puts them on the winning track to make the playoffs....

Kamara had it easy against the lifeless Killers

Player of the Week:  Deshaun Watons, Crush - 20 points. 

So...The Chislers are once a top of the North with the Animals 2 games back and might have finally shook off the last of their Fantasy Bowl Champion Hangover...Despite the loss the Dragons still in the driver seat in the East up 2 games...The East is getting tight now after the Cocktail sweep of the Krauts as they are tied with the Juggs one game back.  But don't we all expect the Cocktails/Chiefs to just run away with the East now?...And the West remains a 2 team race between the Crush and Sinistars.  But the Bums after 2 wins over the Killers now are just a game behind...
