CFFL40 Week 12

 Back to divisional play we go into Week 13!  With only two weeks to play only the East Division has been settled.  The Krauts are Eastern Bloc Champions once again.  But the rest of the divisions are completely up for grabs with only one game separating most divisions and in the West Whales and Legion are tied at 6-6!  Should be a wild next couple of weeks.

Here is what happened last week....

Cocktails 51 Wrecking Crew 21 - The Cocktails had little trouble with the depleted Crew posting a fifty-burger on them.  They were led by the leg of Wil Lutz who kicked  in 17 points!  And who says kickers don't matter in fantasy football??

Lutz couldn't miss for the Cocktails

Dragons 42  Crush 19 - The Dragons were able to move up to the second spot in the playoffs with their win over the Crush.  Lamar Jackson had 14 points to lead the way for the Dragons.  They remain one game ahead of the Warbirds and they face off against each other next week.  Warbirds took the first game so this will be a critical game for the Dragons to win.

Iron Legion 52  Titans 16 - Legion just need to keep winning to stay with the Whales.  Josh Jacobs "Jingleheimerschmidt" scored a whopping 3 times in the thumping of the Titans.  Courtland Sutton scored twice as well for the Legion.  They split the home and home with the Whales, so need to win both division games and hope to outscore the Whales in the process.  

Sutton hauls in one of his two TDs for the Legion

Warbirds 40  Whales 23 - If the Whales aren't carful they are going to let the playoffs slip through their fingers.  With Joe Burrow on bye the Warbirds turned to Jayden Daniels and he answered with 16 points!  Warbirds got a date with the Dragons next week and could take command of the South with a win.

Killers 30  Bees  18 - The Killers are still hanging in there in the playoff race.  Tua stepped up for the Killers scoring 16 points in the win against the Bees.  The Bees are also playing for their playoff life but will need a lot of teams to lose above them if they are going to have a shot considering their low point total.

Ferrets 37  Juggernauts 19 - What has gotten into this Ferret team?  Winner of 3 in a row they are now in the playoffs if they started today.  Goff was shut out in the win, but Gibbs came up big with 2 scores against the Juggs.  The Ferrets will have a tough road to the playoffs with final two games against the Animals and the Chislers.

Krauts 30  Chislers 19 - Both teams had a ton of players on bye this week.  Unfortunately for the Chislers that included a lot of their star players (Allen, Chase, Cook).  Then Brian Robinson got hurt early on in the game.  Krauts took full advantage of this and QB Patrick Mahomes scored 12 points in the win as they clinched their 8th division title. 

Mahomes tossed 3 TD passes in the Kraut win

Sinistars 29  Animals 14 - A disappointing performance by the Animals who a week ago was the talk of the league and poised to potentially repeat.  If it wasn't for a late Andrews TD catch the only points the Animals had was from their kicker.  Stafford had 8 points for the Sinistars in the win.

Player of the Week:  Josh Jacobs, RB, Iron Legion - 18 points

CFFL40 Week 11

 Oh boy!  The playoff race is getting tight.  3 weeks to go and so many still alive.  Did we just have a Fantasy Bowl preview this week between the Krauts and the Animals?

Week 11 action...

Wrecking Crew 34  Sinistars 26 - The Crew pretty much eliminated the Sinistars, handing them their 8th loss of the season.  Breece "Kids in the" Hall got some revenge on the Sinistars scoring twice against his former team.

Hall scores twice against his former team

Crush 16  Titans 10 - Crush are right back in the hunt for a playoff spot after beating the Titans in a close one.  They just needed Aaron Rodgers and their kicker Jake "The Snake" Elliott to beat the Titans.  Titans playoff hopes were gone a long time ago.

Rodgers managed to score 12 points in the win

Warbirds 43  Iron Legion 24 - The Warbirds rolled with 12 points from Burrow in their win against the Legion.  They would also get TDs from Flowers, Jennings and Bowers.  The Legion, who looked like they could win the West several weeks ago, are now on the outside looking in.

Burrow led the Warbirds with 12 points

Killer Bees 32  Whales 27 - Bees kept their playoff hopes alive behind 16 big points from rookie QB Bo Nix!  The Whale are still leading the West and would get the 4th playoff spot, but certainly have been struggling.  Maybe too dependent on the Eagles with little help elsewhere?

Bo Nix throws for 4 TDs!

Killers 31  Dragons 26 - 12 points from Tua helped the Killers keep their slim playoff hopes alive.  Kenneth Walker III and Tyreek Hill would add TDs in the win.  Dragons now only have a 1 game lead over both the Warbirds and the Killer Bees.

Tua is back for the Killers

Animals 32  Krauts 29 -  What a game!  Could this be a preview for Fantasy Bowl XL? Two of the best teams in the CFFL squared off and it looked like it was going to be a easy win for the Krauts getting 12 points from Mahomes and Henry scoring his 15th TD.  But the defending champs would not go quietly in the night Monday.  They only had one player left.  Needing three TDs from Joe Mixon was asking a lot.  But not this night.  He would get two TDs bringing the Animals to within 3 points.  Then very late in the game Joe Mixon would get his third TD giving the Animals the win and the Krauts their 2nd loss on the season.

Mixon scores the game winner for the Animals!

Chislers 38  Juggeranuts 32 - In another nail biter, the Chislers were able to hang on to defeat the Juggernauts.  Ja'Marr Chase helped in the win with 2 TDs on Sunday night.  And boy did he need them because in the same game J.K. Dobbins would score twice, but his second TD was with little time left.

Chase scores a critical TD for the Chislers

Ferrets 46  Cocktails 33 - The Ferrets keep winning and are still in the hunt.  It was a battle between RBs Montgomery for the Cocktails and Gibbs of the Ferrets.  Montgomery got the call twice compared to Gibbs' one. Good thing Jared Goff had another big game with 16 points for the Ferrets.  Opponents are getting Goffed now instead of the Ferrets!

Goff threw 16 points in the win.

Player of the Week:  Joe Mixon, RB, Animals - 18 points

CFFL40 Week 10

Only 4 more weeks to go.  Time to make that playoff push!

Week 10 action...

Krauts 29 Wrecking Crew 13 - If there was a week to take on the Krauts, this was the week with them benching Mahomes.  Unfortunately the Crew couldn't capitalize.  Krauts ground and pound continued with 12 points from Bijan Robinson and 6 more from King Henry.  Krauts are now a league best 9-1

Robinson rumbles for 2 scores

Crush 28 Warbirds 22 (OT) - Yes that's right.  Another OT game for the Crush.  This looked like it was going to be a tie, but Mike Williams was one of the backups for the Crush and he caught a TD for the win!  Warbirds waste a 16 point performance from Burrow. 

Titans 38  Killers 12 - The Titans get their first win of the season blowing out the Killers 38-12.  They got 12 points from Russell Wilson including a 10 point connection to Pickens and 12 more from Ekeler.  Killers had a rough day getting only 4 from Tua and 8 from their kicker.

Wilson scored 12 points for the Titans

Killer Bees 23  Legion 12 -   The Legion, trying to keep pace in the West, drop to 5-5 with a loss to the Bees.  The only points they got were from Sutton and kicker Aubrey.  Bees' Bo Nix helped them to victory with two TD passes.

Dragons 41  Whales 24 - Lamar Jackson continues to lead this Dragon team to victory, this time over the West leading Whales.  Jackson had 18 points in the win as the Dragons improved to 7-3.  Whales QB Hurts pretty much provided the entire offense with 20 points.  

Jackson leading scorer in the CFFL

Ferrets 26 Sinistars 19 - Sinistars struggled only getting points from their QB and Kicker.  Ferrets managed to get just a little more than that, 20 points from Goff and kicker Bass, plus a TD catch by Rachaad White.  

Goff leading the way for the Ferrets

Animals 49  Juggernauts 16 - Animals rolled over the Juggernauts behind 16 points from Kyler Murray.  They would also get TD runs from Joe Mixon and Tyrone Tracy.  Tracy was a nice start by the Animals, who seem to be hitting their championship stride.  

Murray scoring one of his two TD runs for Animals

Chislers 45  Cocktails 29 - The Chislers bookended this game.  To start the game, they got 18 huge points from WR Chase.  They would then close the game on Monday night with 15 points from their kicker Karty.  The win helps them keep up with the surging Animals in the North.  The Cocktails continue to lose ground to the Krauts.

Player of the Week:  Jalen Hurts, QB, Whales, 20 points

CFFL40 Week 9

 Week 9 action...

Wrecking Crew 27  Juggernauts 18 - The Crew needed some changes to create a spark.  They benched Stroud and traded away Nico Collins giving up on the Houston Texan experiment.  They got that spark in Geno Smith who scored 12 points in the win.  

Geno taking the reigns for the Crew

Crush 28  Bees 23 - Crush got two 10 point connections from Rodgers to Wilson in the win.  The Bees are starting to fade out of the playoff race.  They benched Lawrence in favor of Nix.  "Where the Bees were wrong."  Lawrence had 14 points to Nix's 6.

Warbirds 49  Killers 38 - This was a barn burner.  The game started out with both teams trading shots.  Despite the Killers getting 12 points from Stevenson and 12 points from McLaurin they still couldn't keep up with the Warbirds as Joe Burrow led them with 20 points.

Burrow throws for 5 TDs!

Dragons 29  Legion 23 - Dragons bagged their 3rd win in a row defeating one of the best teams in the West.  Lamar Jackson continued his team MVP year scoring 12 points in the win.

Lamar just doing Lamar things for the Dragons

Whales 49  Titans 29 - The Titans were really no match for the Whales who seemed to score every time you turned around during the Eagles game.  Of the 49 points they scored, 32 of them came from the Eagle combination of Hurts, Barkley and DeVonta Smith.

Barkley, the only player I know who can give a flying tea bag

Chislers 45  Sinistars 23 - Chislers started out hot with Josh Allen's 13 points but the real story was their Rams.  Like the Whales, the Chislers got a ton of points from their Rams combination of Robinson, Karty, and the defense.  They scored a total of 26 points!

What a catch by Robinson!

Animals 20  Cocktails 11 - In a game pitting two of the top teams in the league, it turned out to be a yawner.  Animals were able to come out victorious thanks to TDs from Mixon and "Flying" St. Brown.

Boingoingoing!

Krauts 33  Ferrets 32 - The Ferrets almost pulled off a huge upset over the one loss Krauts.  They had a 32-21 lead going into Monday night.  Only problem was the Krauts had Patrick Mahomes (not to mention Kelce and Worthy)  All they needed was the magic of Mahomes who would score 12 points to give the Krauts the win!

Mahomes just couldn't be stopped

Player of the Week:  Joe Burrow, QB, Warbirds - 20 points
