CFFL40 Week 6

 This week we take a look at Week 6 action and do a quick preview of the Home and Home series coming up the next two weeks.  Hard to believe we are already at the halfway point of the regular CFFL season!

Week 6:

Wrecking Crew 35  Crush 26

The Crew were able to hang on against the Crush, despite leaving "I wanna be called" Gabe Davis on the bench.  Crew QB Stroud led the way with 12 points along with a TD catch from "Joker Face" London.  The win ties them for first place in the North.

Stroud scored 12 points for the Crew

Iron Legion 37  Ferrets 17

Goff had 12 points for the Ferrets, but they couldn't muster up any other production.  Iron Legion QB Baker Mayfield had a great day throwing 4 TD passes in the win.  Tony Pollard and Courtland Sutton got TDs for the Legion as well.  The Legion keep pace with the Whales in the West.

Mayfield fires 4 TD passes in the win!

Killers 59  Animals 39

The Killers finally woke up and almost dropped 60 points on the defending champ Animals!  They got scoring from everywhere, including 12 points each from Chris Godwin and McLaurin plus a fumble return by their D, the Buccaneers.

Godwin scoring his second TD for the Killers!

Whales 37  Chislers 36

The Whale hung on for dear life and were able to beat the Chislers by one point.  They built their lead getting 8 points from Hurts and then blocking FG for a TD but then had to sustain a late attack from Chislers' Chase, Allen and Cook.  Chase didn't score.  Cook was ruled out.  So it was up to Allen.  He did all he could scoring 14 points!  Just one more TD pass or a 2pt conversion and the Chislers would be alone in first place in the North.  

Hurts throws 2 TD passes for the Whales

Krauts 46  Dragons 36

It was a good start for the Dragons getting 12 points from Kittle on Thursday Night.  However the Kraut blitzkrieg rained down points on the Dragons.  The running attack of Henry and Bijan Robinson resulted in 24 points!  That is an impressive backfield.

Killer Bees 38  Juggernauts 29

Story of this game was the kickers.  Killer Bee kicker Justin "Mother" Tucker finally showed some consistency and kicked 12 points.  Jugg kicker, Jake "Master" Bates did him 5 better with 17 points!  A late game time decision by the Colts, stating Flacco was going to get the start instead of Richardson, was missed by the Juggs.  Perhaps he was at church.  Or hung over, or sleeping in...whatever the case was Flacco sat on the bench with 8 points.  Still wouldn't have been enough but would have made it real interesting!

Lawrence scores twice for Bees

Cocktails 38  Warbirds 35

The Krauts and the Cocktails keep trucking along at 5-1.  The Cocktails are a very dangerous team and have a mission to capture their first CFFL Fantasy Bowl.  Jordan Love led the way with 16 points plus 12 more from RB Montgomery.  AJ Brown is back and promptly scored a TD.  

Love had 16 points in the Cocktail win!

Sinistars 29  Titans 20

Brock Purdy might be the most underrated player in the CFFL.  He doesn't dazzle you at all but he consistently scores week after week.  This week he tossed 3 TD passes in the win against the hapless Titans.  Let's hope, even at 0-6, the Titans continue to participate and make sure to make line up changes....

Purdy helps Sinistars to victory

Player of the Week:  Jordan Love, QB, Cocktails - 16 points

Now let's take a look at the next two weeks of the dreaded Home and Home series...

Wrecking Crew (4-2) vs. Ferrets (1-5) - Crew could officially end the Ferrets season with a sweep.  The Ferrets could gain a little hope with a sweep, plus take great pleasure in beating the hated Crew.

Chislers (4-2) vs. Animals (3-3) - This could be a tight two games.  Sweep by the Chislers puts them in command in the North.  Animals need to at least split to keep pace with the Chislers and Crew.

Warbirds (2-4) vs. Killer Bees (4-2) - The Bees are fugazi.  They have the second worse scoring offense but yet are 4-2.  This is a great chance for the Warbirds to get back on track.  

Dragons (3-3) vs. Titans (0-6) - Will the Titans roll over for their brother to allow them to sweep?  Let's hope not but Dragons certainly can win both games and get in the race for first in the South.

Sinistars (2-4) vs. Cocktails (5-1) - Sinistars must be careful not to get swept in this match up or their playoff hopes will be dismal.  The  Cocktails could solidify their strength in the East with a sweep.  And might have to to keep up with the Krauts.

Juggernauts (3-3) vs Krauts (5-1).  Same goes with the Krauts.  The race for the East seems to be between Cocktails and Krauts.  So Krauts better not fall asleep at the wheel against a team they have made their bitch over the years. 

Killers (2-4) vs. Crush (2-4) - Whichever team can sweep the other gets right back in the playoff race.  The team that gets swept will face an uphill challenge to make the playoffs at 2-6.

Legion (4-2) vs. Whales (4-2) - This is definitely the marquee Home and Home matchup.  Both teams are 2-0 in the division as well.  A split means nothing, but a sweep means everything in the Wild Wild West race!
