🏈 CFFL Weekly Newsletter – Weeks 10 & 11
“Down the Stretch We Come…”
We missed last week’s write-up, but the league didn’t slow down. With two weeks of action in the books, the playoff picture is starting to sharpen — and for some teams, the window is slamming shut. For others? It’s suddenly wide open.
📊 Division Races Tightening Up
North:
The Animals and Chislers are knotted at 7–4, with the Ferrets just one game behind. Three teams separated by a single game — buckle up.
South:
The Warbirds hold a slim one-game lead over the Killer Bees, while the Dominators and Dragons are still within striking distance. This division is an absolute grinder.
East:
The Sinistars look like the league’s juggernaut (pun intended), sitting at 9–2 and up two games on the Juggernauts. The Krauts, surging at 6–5, are shaping up to be that “nobody wants to play them” team.
West:
The Whales now lead by two games over the Legion and Killers, but with three weeks left, chaos is still very possible.
🗞️ WEEK 10 RECAP
Krauts 23 – Wrecking Crew 20
The Crew made a late push, but with Ertz, Metcalf, and Freiermuth (“Firemouth”) going scoreless, it wasn’t meant to be. The champs survive another week.
Warbirds 20 – Lunatics 12
The Warbirds make it look easy and suddenly have more RBs than they know what to do with: Robinson, Allgeier, Woody “Skid” Marks, and Breece Hall.
Dominators 25 – Killers 16
 |
| Williams scores twice for the Dragons |
Killer Bees 39 – Legion 25
Achane racks up 12, Dicker “The Kicker” boots 11, and the Bees keep humming.
Dragons 35 – Whales 21
Huge upset. The Dragons ride Kyren Williams and Rico “Suave” Dowdle (18 combined points) to topple the West leaders.
Sinistars 48 – Ferrets 40
Offensive explosion. Gibbs scored 3 times in the loss, but Jonathan Taylor answered with another 3-TD eruption. The Sinistars keep flexing.
 |
| Taylor's 4th game with 3 TDs! |
Juggernauts 32 – Animals 30
The Animals drop only their third game of the year, with Mac Jones’ 12 points powering the Juggs to a big win.
Chislers 46 – Cocktails 30
Chislers heating up at the right time. Henderson scores twice, and Jason “Michael” Myers boots 14. Cocktails continue their downward spiral.
🗞️ WEEK 11 RECAP
Sinistars 33 – Wrecking Crew 20
Sinistars keep marching toward the #1 seed. Adams and Nico Collins both score. Meanwhile, the Crew are counting the days until the finale.
Dominators 20 – Lunatics 13
Dominators squeak out another ugly win, aided by a late meaningless TD from Lamb. Flacco even chipped in (4 points!), a true collector’s item.
Warbirds 28 – Legion 6
The Legion offense imploded — how do Barkley, McCarthy, and Jefferson combine for six points? Warbirds roll behind Bijan’s 12.
Whales 20 – Bees 18
Down 18–14, the Whales storm back thanks to a Monday Night miracle from "Turd" Ferguson. The win gives the Whales a two-game lead in the West.
Killers 37 – Dragons 28
The Killers keep their season alive, led by a shockingly powerful rushing attack: 18 from Sean Tucker and 6 from McLaughlin.
Krauts 49 – Animals 9
Uh-oh. The Krauts are officially hot. McCaffrey drops 18, McMillian “and Wife” adds 12, and the Animals get absolutely stomped. Two straight losses for the once-dominant kennel.
Chislers 60 – Juggernauts 39
Josh Allen delivers a historic performance: 3 passing TDs and 3 rushing TDs, good for 30 points, tying the all-time QB record (himself, last year + Mark Rypien ’91). The Chislers have scored over 100 points over their last two games — and are peaking at the perfect time.
 |
| Allen now has two 30 point games in his career |
 |
| Rypien in 1991 threw for 30 points in a game for the Jewels |
Ferrets 29 – Cocktails 23
Down 23–6 on Monday night, the Ferrets launch a massive comeback behind Prescott and Aubrey. Dak ends with 4 passing TDs. Brutal loss for the Cocktails.
🏆 CFFL Power Rankings – Week 11
1️⃣ Sinistars (9–2)
Last Week: 1 | Trend: ↔️ Steady
The league’s most complete team. Taylor scoring every week, Adams and Collins producing, and now sitting on a two-game cushion in the East. They look like the Fantasy Bowl favorite — and they’re playing like it.
2️⃣ Whales (7–4)
Last Week: 3 | Trend: ⬆️ Rising
A gritty rebound win over the Bees and still holding a two-game lead in the West. They win shootouts, they win grinders, and Turd Ferguson remains the league’s most annoying Monday Night assassin.
3️⃣ Chislers (7–4)
Last Week: 6 | Trend: ⬆️⬆️ Surging
Winners of two straight with 100+ total points in that stretch. Josh Allen tied the all-time QB scoring record. This team is officially terrifying again — beware.
4️⃣ Krauts (6–5)
Last Week: 9 | Trend: ⬆️⬆️ Rocketing
The champs woke up. Crushed the Animals by 40 and suddenly look like the biggest dark-horse in the league. Nobody wants to see this team in the playoffs.
5️⃣ Juggernauts (6–4)
Last Week: 2 | Trend: ⬇️ Sliding
Got handled by the red-hot Chislers and now fall two games behind Sinistars. Still a quality squad, but their margin for error is shrinking.
6️⃣ Animals (7–4)
Last Week: 4 | Trend: ⬇️ Trouble
Two straight losses, including a 49–9 humiliation. The offense has completely lost its teeth. They’re tied for the division lead — but the vibes are not good.
7️⃣ Warbirds (7–4)
Last Week: 8 | Trend: ⬆️ Climbing
Steady, balanced, and now leading the South. Bijan heating up makes this team sneaky dangerous down the stretch.
8️⃣ Killer Bees (6–5)
Last Week: 7 | Trend: ↔️ Hanging In
Achane and Barner keep them competitive, but close losses are dragging them down. Still firmly in the playoff hunt.
9️⃣ Legion (5–6)
Last Week: 5 | Trend: ⬇️ Falling Fast
Six points. Six. Points. Barkley and Jefferson disappearing is criminal. They’re still only two games out in the West, but the arrow is very red right now.
🔟 Killers (5–6)
Last Week: 10 | Trend: ↔️ Steady
Surprise rushing explosion keeps them alive. They feel like a high-floor, low-ceiling team — which might be enough to sneak in.
1️⃣1️⃣ Dominators (5–6)
Last Week: 11 | Trend: ↔️ Treading Water
Win ugly, lose ugly. But they keep winning. This is the most confusing team in the league that manages to win without QBs.
1️⃣2️⃣ Dragons (5–6)
Last Week: 12 | Trend: ↔️ Fading
The upset of the Whales was nice, but they followed it by allowing the Killers to run all over them. Inconsistent to the core.
1️⃣3️⃣ Ferrets (6–5)
Last Week: 13 | Trend: ↔️ Teetering
Yes they won — but blowing a 17-point lead and needing a miracle comeback against the Cocktails doesn’t scream “contender.” Still dangerous, still flawed.
1️⃣4️⃣ Cocktails (2–9)
Last Week: 14 | Trend: ↔️ Window Closing
Showed life, then blew another lead. Season pulling plug on life support. Jordon Love now has the reins full time — but it’s too late.
1️⃣5️⃣ Lunatics (2–9)
Last Week: 15 | Trend: ↔️ Downward Drift
Injuries and bad luck everywhere. The offense is a mystery wrapped in a riddle wrapped in fishing line.
1️⃣6️⃣ Wrecking Crew (2–9)
Last Week: 16 | Trend: ↔️ Rock Bottom
The Crew have officially submitted their application for early offseason. Nothing is working. Just three more weeks.
