CFFL Week 9 Review

Time for that playoff push....

GAME OF THE WEEK:  Two of the Titans of the CFFL squared off and didn't disappoint the fans.  The Chislers; 8 Fantasy Bowl appearances, 3 Championships, 11 Division titles, and 19 playoff appearances.  The Twins; 5 Fantasy Bowl appearances, 1 Championship, 9 Division titles, and 17 playoff appearances. 

Chislers started the game with a 14 point lead after the San Diego Chislers played on Thursday night.  Then continued as the Smith, Rice, and Jones all scored to make game 32-13.  It appeared to be well in control by the Chislers.  However, the Twins had Muscle Hamster Doug Martin who was truly a BEEEAASST!!!  He scored 1 TD, no big deal 32-19.  Then a 2nd TD, 32-25, uh oh and the Twins have Roddy White on Sunday night.  Then a third to make it 32-31.  Now just a Roddy White TD wins.  Oh wait a minute!  Martin gets a 4th TD for a total of 24 points to make it 37-32 for the Twins.  SNF had White for the Twins and Bryant for the Chislers.  Chisler luck however would prevail as White was held scoreless and Bryant kicked in 13 points!  Not to worry!  Despite the loss the Twins are 7-2 and still a game ahead of the Bums in the West.

The Crew finally woke from their slumber and put up 67 points on the hated Crush winning 67-22.  The 10 point connection of Cutler and Marshall finally hooked up, 3 TIMES!  Randall Cobb put up 2 TDs as well and is becoming a dangerous weapon.  The Crew even got production form their RB as Stephens-Howling got in the end zone.  "Everyone loves to beat the Crush"

Ferrets finally lose and lost a heart breaker being in the lead late in the game with Manning still playing lights out scoring 12 points and Arian Foster scoring as well.  But with Gould kicking 15 big points for the Bums, Josh "Jew-fro" Freeman threw 2 TDs while Sidney Rice scored a TD to win the game 35-25.  Ferrets are still in first tied with the Chislers.  Bums have moved closer to the Twins, now only a game back.  (Smoke and Mirrors?)

Animals fall a game behind in the North as the Mafia had a well balanced attack with 4 from Romo, 6 from Bush, Turner, Wayne, Jackson, Barth "Half man, half dog...I'm a Mog!", and Broncos D.  In fact every player scored (Boldin had a 2 point conversion).  The Animals' MVP and potential league MVP Bears D scored 12 points and now has scored 48 points, 8 TDs.  This is better than most RB, or WRs!  They may have to keep it up for the Animals to continue to make their playoff run.

What has happened to the Krauts?  After starting 4-1, have now dropped 4 in a row, and this one was bad.  The Dragons hammered the Krauts 30-7 lead by Aaron Rodgers' 16 points (what else is new).  The Krauts only points came from their kicker Nick "The Dick" Novak.  Nothing from Ryan, McCoy or Rudolph.  Krauts could be in trouble.  Line up is looking weak and now are a game behind the Sinistars.  The Dragons, who season seemed to be over, and while still slim at 3-6, playoffs are not completely out of reach.

The Sinistars, now the winner of 3 in a row, are alone in the East after beating the Titans 25-10 lead by Eric Decker's 12 points.  Even though no points from Stafford and Jamaal Charles "in charge" and no points from Julio Jones.  Guess you could say it was a good thing they were playing the Titans who only really get up for playing his brother the Dragons.

The Bees continue to lead the South by 2 games by dispensing the Juggs 26-11.  Brees lead the team again with 8 points.

Next week Game of the Week pit the 7-2 Twins vs the 6-3 Ferrets.  Both will be looking to remain in first place in each of their divisions.  The Twins' 10 point Malachi connection vs. sideway connection of Manning and McGahee.  The Ferrets will need to contain Doug Martin.  Twins will need to contain former teammate Arian Foster.  Should be a good one!

NFL Thoughts after Week 8

Well here we are at the half way point of the NFL season and I am already tired of writing about the Rams.  Lets not look back at last week, but lest look back at the first half of the season and grade the Rams thus far, talk a little bit about the Browns and Dolphins for some of my fans out there ;)

RAMS TALK:

Lets start with the offense, that has been disappointing to say the least as they are the 25th ranked passing offense and the 18th ranked running offense. 

QB: Sam Bradford has shown some signs of promise, but for the most part has been only able to lead the team to the redzone and not the END zone.  When Danny "Queen" Amendola went down, Bradford lost his confidence in the passing game.  He needs to gain that confidence back.  And could the Rams please quit calling roll out passes for him.  He can't hit the broad side of the barn on those roll outs.  The second half will determine if Bradford is truly a franchise QB for the Rams.
GRADE: D+

RB:  Steven "Stiff" Jackson has pretty much been a stiff this year.  He dances too much looking for a hole, he losses his cool and creates phantom groin injuries and has a very average 3.7 YPC.  Its time for Jackson to move on, or the Rams to look for a replacement.  A pleasant surprise has been Daryl Richardson, with a 5.4 YPC average, he is quick and makes quick decisions to hit the holes and take it up field.  His size will limit him to carrying the full load throughout entire game.
GRADE: C-

WR: Man the Rams need some big time talent here.  You look around the league and see other QBs having good years and you look at their WRs and you go Ah HA!  Amendola is a sure handed WR, but more like a Welker.  The others "Debbie" Gibson and "Code Red" Kendricks are average at best.  Chris Givens however has shown he as the speed as advertised and is becoming a deep threat, when the line can give Bradford enough time to hit him.
GRADE: C

OL: The O-line once again has battled through some injury issues and has not given Bradford enough time and has been sacked 23 times this year.  The running game has been up and down and many times the running backs have to make the first guy miss in the back field. This has been one of the main reasons so many trips to the redzone have ended in FGs
GRADE: D

DL: The defensive line has been probably the highlight of the team as Robert Quinn (7 sacks) and Chris Long (4 sacks) anchor that line.  They have punished QBs in the first half of the season and should continue this trend going into the second half.  Give them more rest please offense and they could get even better.
GRADE: B+

LB: Laurinaitis leads this decent core of LBs along with McIntosh and Dunbar.  They all are sure tacklers and have the defense ranked in the upper half of the league in Rush defense. 
GRADE: B

Secondary: Rookie CB Jenkins has shown signs of greatness in some games and is becoming a shut down corner.  Finnegan is just that kind of player that will get under your skin and irritate you all game long.  He has 3 INTs and has created many personal fouls on the opponents, an attitude that Fisher and Finnegan have brought to this Ram team that they haven't experienced in a long time.
GRADE: C

Special Teams: Greg "The Leg" Zuerlein started out on fire, not missing anything and hitting from 50+ and 60 yards.  Then he missed 3 in a row in Miami.  He is still a great kicker and is just a rookie.  He has the leg and could kick from 70 yards for sure, but he needs to stay accurate.  Johnny Hekker has been a great punter thus far and has really flipped the field posistions in many situations. 
GRADE: B+

The schedule gets harder in the second half with games at division rivals 49ers, Seahawks, and Cardinals, plus trips to Buffalo in December, and Tampa Bay.  They only have 3 home games rest of the year.  6-10 if lucky.

As for the Browns, just a few words for you Brownie fans out there.  Trent Richardson is a BEEEAAASSSTTTT! (as Michael Irvin would put it). Richardson has 6 TDs thus far already this season and even though he only has a 3.7 YPC he certainly isn't easy to bring down.  If it wasn't for the O-line porous blocking he might be in the top 10 RBs in the NFL.  Weeden is playing fair even though his TD-INT ratio is 9-10 he seems mature in the pocket.  He should considering he is a 30 year old rookie after an 8 year college career.  2-1 in the last 3 games.  Still have to play Steelers twice, Ravens this week, and a trip to Denver in December. 

The Dolphins are a surprising 4-3 and competing for the East Division Title (although I am sure Patriots will start to pull away in the second half of season).  A 3rd ranked run defense is a main reason for this.  Hell they could be 6-1 had they won those back to back OT losses to the Jets and Cardinals.  Tannehill might be the guy if he can stay healthy and Reggie Bush seems to have found a second life in southern Florida.  Their schedule isn't all that tough to finish the year with home games against Titans, Seahawks, Bills and Jags, all could be wins. 

So there we go, out of the three teams mentioned here only the Dolphins appear to have a shot at the playoffs.  On another note I think the AFC better look out for the Denver Broncos!  Manning is completely hitting his stride and looking really good.  Last Sunday Night they looked absolutely great.  Could it be another Brady vs Manning AFC Championship Game?  Texans might have something to say about that....

CFFL Week 8

Can the season already be half over?  Hard to believe but some of us are thankful.....

Get the brooms out as there was almost a complete sweep of sweeping in the home and home series:

NORTH SWEEPS

Ferrets completed the sweep of their hated rival Crew 51-32, scoring the most points for the week.  The Ferrets can't seem to do no wrong.  Last week Manning and McGahee were on bye and had a rag tag of players in including Weeden and Gordon, who then hooked up for 10 point connection.  This week more byes, but no problem.  Chris Givens scores on a long bomb, Brandon Lloyd gets 2 more and Santana Moss scores as well.  Then to clean up the mess, Manning and McGahee combined for 18 more.  The Crew have fallen on hard times and are just not getting the production from Cutler and Marshall everyone thought.  Although 32 points was respectable, and would have beat 11 of the 15 teams this week.

Animals sweep their father the Chislers in impressive fashion as the wheels have fallen off of the Chisler bus.  Animals MVP Bears Defense has scored in 6 of 7 games this year and scored again this week.  Chislers only got points from Heath Miller and Greg "The peg leg" Zuerlein.  The San Diego Chislers came up with a big goose egg as Rivers, Floyd and Gates all were shut out.  The Animal victory puts them in second place at 5-3 one game behind the Ferrets.  The Chislers are still in the playoff hunt at 5-3 but better get their offense in gear or there is not chance for a repeat. 

SWEEPS IN THE EASTERN BLOC

In the Game of the Week, the Sinistars came back from a 36-30 deficit on SNF to sweep the Krauts.  After the half the Game was tied 30-30 when the Krauts took the lead with a TD catch by Denarius Moore to make it 36-30 in favor of the goose stepping Krauts.  Sinistars had one last chance in Eric Decker on SNF.  Decker produced and scored twice for the win 42-36.  Krauts waste a great week for Matt Ryan and Shady McCoy as they combined for 24.  Sinistars have been waiting for Stafford to wake up and he did as he earned Player of the Week honors with 18 big points!

Juggernauts swept a lifeless Russian Roulette team that have been focused on how the Hockey league can end the lock out and drop the puck on the CFHL.  Gronk is back and scored 12 points for the Juggs.  The combination of the Sweeps by the Sinistars over the Krauts and the Juggs sweep has now created a log jam in the East as all three teams are 4-4, when only a few weeks ago it looked like the Krauts were going to run away with it.  Whats that?  Ovens and showers are on?

MORE SWEEPS IN THE DEEP SOUTH

The younger Freeman brother swept his older brother as the Titans complete the sweep of the Dragons and have created a playoff opportunity for the Titans. (the Mayans might be right...) This week the did it by scoring only 15 points thanks to a Packer D TD.  The Dragons needed just one TD from Cardinal WR Roberts on MNF as only Rodgers and "Nina" Hartley scored.  Well instead of Roberts scoring Crabtree scored twice on the bench for the Dragons.  That stings.  One of the most dreaded things in fantasy football is to not make the right move in your lineup.  The Dragons truly felt the WRATH OF THE TITANS these past two weeks.

In another game the featured a team needing just one score on MNF to win the game the Bees outlasted the Mayhem 22-20.  The Mayhem had Frank Gore"'s knee" and needed just one TD from him to win.  The 49ers dominated but no TDs came Gores way.  Tom Brady scored 16 points for the Mayhem but got no help.  "Fat Kicker" scored 14 for the Bees and the difference was the 8 points from Brees.  The sweep has pulled the Bees into first place all alone one game ahead of the Titans and Mayhem.  Dragons playoff hopes are dimming with the late autumn sun set as they are 2-6.

WEST HAS ONE SWEEP AND ONE SPLIT (and of course some Twins)

The Crush get revenge from the prior week loss to the Bums and hammer them 47-29 as they get a big performance from Roethlisberger's 12 and Tynes 17 big points.  The running game seemed to be hitting its stride as Richardson and Forte both scored TDs.  Josh Freeman had a nice game in a loss with 12 points. 

The Twins complete the sweep of the Mafia  and move to a 2 game lead in West with a record of 7-1.  The Mafia needed a 12 point performance from Akers on MNF to win the game and came up 6 points short. Doug Martin continues to impress and this week scored 12 points to open the game and the Twins never looked back from there. 

As we head into the home stretch of the season almost every team is still in it.  The exceptions....Roulette at 1-7 gave up a long time ago and traded away their best player in RGIII, The Crew at 2-6 who have been hurt by the inept running game (Stephens-Howling, Woodhead, Wells, Helu, have been the starting RBs this year, pathetic), and the Dragons who have Rodgers but no one else. 

Favorites right now are Thomsen Twins who are 7-1, and either the Ferrets or the Animals.  Any team right now other than the mentioned above have a chance but these teams seem to be making the right moves and have the right players to make a big run.  Could it be a first ever Fantasy Bowl for the Animals or Ferrets?

NFL Week 7 Thoughts

My brief thoughts about Week 7's action and a peak into Week 8's match ups...

Divisions leaders in the NFC: Giants at 5-2, Bears and Vikings in the North, Atlanta a 4 game lead in the South, and the 49ers in the West.  Probably the only surprise there would be the Vikings and where they are at as the Lions are in last at 2-4. The West seems a bit of a surprise, but I would imagine as the season plays out there will be a clear separation between the 49ers and the rest, much to my dismay.  The 49ers played a close one against the Seahawks but showed why they are the team to beat.  Gore had 131 yards on only 16 carries too. 




RAM TALK:  Well Ram talk is starting to become depressing, however they are exactly where I predicted them to be after 7 weeks, 3-4 and the rest of the schedule doesn't get much easier.  The Packers pretty much controlled the game and wasn't even as close as the 30-20 score indicated. Pettis scored a late TD from Bradford to make it 30-20.  The defense of the Rams, which had been strong the first 6 weeks of the season allowed Rodgers to throw for 342 yards, 3 TDs and no picks for a rating of 132.2.  Bradford still looked unsure in the pocket and they just can't stretch the field.  It seemed like "same old Rams".

And now they travel to London for a date with the Patriots.  And this is a home game for the Rams??  Oh brother!  I really wish the NFL would reconsider this international regular season play bull.  It truly is not very good for the teams that travel, specially the one where it is considerd to be a home game.  Give me a break!  Lets keep it in the 48 states please! 

 
It was a shame to see the Buccaneers lose in those awesome throw backs!  How can you not love those.  But Drew Brees and the Saints got the best of the Bucs who lead 14-7 and 21-7.  The Saints then rattled off 28 unanswered points!  Ouch.  The Buccaneers had a chance though at the end with 2 TD passes to the back of the end zone but were incomplete. 

In the AFC standings we have Patriots at 4-3, Baltimore at 5-2 but could be in trouble as the injuries are piling up, Houston 3 game lead in the South, Chargers and Broncos tied at 3-3 in the West.  Not too surprising.  However it is surprising the AFC east is as close as it is with all teams within one game of the Patriots.  That might be the only surprise there.  Look for the Broncos, as their schedule gets a little easier and Manning gets more comfortable to begin to make a good run in the second half of the season. 

WEEK 8:  There are a few interesting match ups for Week 8...First the Dolphins travel to the Jets and is a key game for playoff hopes in the AFC East.  Jets beat Dolphins in Week 3 in OT 23-20.  Will the Dolphins get some revenge?  I have no idea because I haven't been able to pick the Dolphins right pretty much all year...Atlanta goes to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.  While the Falcons are still undefeated the Eagles are not to be taken lightly.  This will be an interesting game for Atlanta to see if they can win a key road game in the NFC....Giants / Cowboys in Dallas, could be the game of the week.  The Cowboys went to NY and beat the Giants on opening night of the season.  Giants are looking a lot better than that team back on Week 1, but do the Cowboys have the Giants number this year like the Skins did last year?...Brees vs Manning on Sunday night!  That's what I'm talking about!  Should be a great game with lots of offense. Can't wait for that one!

CFFL Week 7 Review

Sorry for the lateness of this but was out of town....in any event, here we go

Its mid way through the regular season and the home and home series are here. Some interesting games and some opportunities for some teams to make some big moves in the standings.

CHANGING OF THE GUARD?  Is there a changing of the guard in the North?  In the North Home and Home series its typically a sweep by last years two Fantasy Bowl teams Chiselers and Crew as they play the Animals and Ferrets.  As Lee Corso would say, "Not so fast by Friend!"

The Animals, who have been on fire lately continued to roll and now have traded to improve their QB position and acquired RGIII.  They dominated the game against the Chislers and won 42-26.  The game really was never close ad the Animals got 8 from RGIII, 12 from Chris Johnson who hasn't done squat all year and then 10 from Suisham.  Is it finally the Animals year?



Now that statement should be used for the Ferrets who as one of the original franchises has never won a Fantasy Bowl.  Could this be their year?  The Crew didn't put up much of a fight and went down 41-18 as they were beat by Weeden and "Commissioner" Gordon, a "deadly" Browns 10 point connection (something you don't hear often).  2 TDs from Arian Foster certainly helped too.  The Crew are having some major issues.  A bad draft, poor season waiver moves, and they even started a WR that was on a bye while Cobb was on the bench with 12 points.  Wouldn't have mattered, but come on man!!!

Are the Titans on the move?  After defeating their brother the Dragons (in a series the Dragons usually roll through) they have now won 3 in a row, and are only a game behind the Mayhem and Bees.  Whats up with that??  Nick Folk was key in the 30-17 victory over the Dragons with 14 points.  The Dragons are the evidence that one player just can't win it all for you.  Aaron Rodgers has been lighting it up and threw for 3 more TDs this week, but got little help, in fact none.  5 points from the Dragon kicker and nothing from RB or WR.  That's not good.




PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Drew Brees earned player of the week honors throwing for 4 TDs as the Bees win game one versus the Mayhem 36-27 in a key series for the lead in the South.  The win by the Bees moved them into a tie with the Mayhem and now currently holds the head to head tie breaker.  As if the 16 points wasn't enough the Bees kicker "Fat Kicker" Janikowski booted 14.  Mayhem suddenly look very pedestrian like.

GAME OF THE WEEK: Twins and Mafia battled to the very end and it came down to both night games on Sunday and Monday.  The Mafia had a 20-11 lead going into SNF with a Romo TD pass, Shonn Greene and Vincent "Price" Jackson TDs and 4 points from Connor Barth "Half Man, half dog, I'm a Mog".  Twins had an usually low scoring day but had the Malachi-Green 10 connection to go on Sunday.  And the hit one!! That made the score 21-20, surely not enough for a team that had Megatron on Monday night right?  Wrong!  The Madden Curse lives on!  The Mafia couldn't get Megatron in the end zone and lose to the Twins 21-20.

In a game of teams that likely were not going anywhere, went into OT as the Juggernauts outlasted the Roulette giving them their 6 loss in a row...The Krauts who back in week 5 was sitting at 4-1 with a nice 2 game lead. Well that's all but gone and have dropped two in a row, this week to division rival Sinistars 27-16, moving the Sinistars only one game back. Leading scorer of this game? Kai Forbath with 11 points fro the Sinistars.  WHO????....Bums kept pace with the Twins and moved to 5-2 but it wasn't easy as they edged the Crush 27-20 with 7 points from Robbie Gould in MNF.

This week its another round of the Home and Home.  Can the Sinistars sweep the Kaurts and take the lead in the East...Who will take a commanding lead in the South as the Bees and Mayhem square off again...Can the Animals sweep the Chislers to keep pace with the division leaders...Crew suck..

NFL Week 6 Review

Last week I mentioned some teams that were just plain bad.  And one of those teams were the Titans.  And they go ahead and beat the Steelers on Thursday Night Football.  It became apparent that the Steelers' injuries have caught up to them and the Titans took full advantage, even if they were down by 10 in the fourth they managed to tie the game and have Bironas kick the winning field goal with time expiring.

Last week I mentioned that the Browns were terrible.  They then promptly upset the Bengals 34-24 behind Weeden who had a rating of 92.7 and surprise WR "Commissioner" Gordon, who has now scored 3 TDs in the past 2 games.


RAMS TALK:  Check these stats out: Total yards 462-192.  Total First Downs 22-12. Yards per play 6.7-3.9. Rams lose to Dolphins 17-14, but who do you think lead in all of those categories?  THE RAMS!  So how does a team that dominates like that lose like that?  I will tell you!  First of all the Rams have one of the absolutely worst redzone offenses.  They move the ball so well between the 20s but then they stall out.  And to make matters worse, Greg "The Leg" Zuerlein missed 3 FGs, his first of the year.  Could he be a head case?  First miss was after a timeout. Then he missed the next 2 he attempted.  Wind seemed to be a factor and all three misses were wide left. 

Well this potentially was going to a statement game for the Rams.  Had the Rams moved from that weak team to a challenging team by winning on the road, something they haven't done yet this year?  Well they couldn't do it in Miami.  Defense still played well, but they need to figure out how to get in the endzone.  You can't have Bradford breaking his back trying to sneak the ball in the endzone and that's your only option!  Come on man!  The good thing is, is that they are still only 1 game out of first in the NFC West...

Speaking of statement games, The Giants rolled into San Francisco and punched the 49ers, who have been doing the punching lately, right in the mouth 26-3.  This was thanks to 3 Alex "I'm not that good" Smith INTs.  49ers didn't rush for 100 yards, and barley passed for 200.  Apparently the Giants have the 49ers number and as the season progresses the teams that have that attention to detail begin to separate themselves from the rest (Coughlin and the Giants).

The Sunday Night Game had Aaron Rodgers pick apart the Houston Texans for 6 TDs!  3 to Jordy Nelson, 2 to James Jones, and one more to Crabtree (of course none to Cobb, on my fantasy team). Final score 42-24 handing the Texans their first loss of the season. Texans really couldn't do anything.  Schaub had a rating of 56.6 and Foster averaged 1.7 yards per carry (even though he had 2 TDs).  The Packers proved that they are a very dangersous team.  Don't read too much into this final though, Texans are still a Super Bowl Contender.

Monday night was a tale of two games.  First the Chargers dominated the first half with 2 TD passes from Rivers to Gates and a pick 6 on Manning.  This game looked over at half 24-0.  Then did the teams just change uniforms at half?  No, its just Manning and half time adjustments.  3 TD passes from Manning and 2 defensive TDs and 35 unanswered points later the game was over 35-24.  Incredible collapse by the Chargers, at home.  You can't expect to contend for a Super Bowl with that kind of performance.

CFFL Week 6 Review

In Week 6 we start to see a separation of teams, the good, the bad, and the ugly....

The Good:  Chislers move to 5-1 and do it with authority over the Dragons 67-29, running up the score when the game was over.  Even the week's Player of the Week, Aaron Rodgers couldn't help the Dragons with 24 points.  With the game over with late in the game at 47-29, the Chislers wouldn't call off the dogs and got 2 10 point connections from their San Diego Chisler combo of Rivers and Gates.  Rice and James Jones also got 12 each too.  They were just hitting on all cylinders.

The Good: Twins out dueled the Krauts in a battle of one loss teams 42-36, in a game that lived up to its billing.  Game was all tied up late until the Twins got 6 points from Kicker Shayne Graham.   "Malachi" Dalton and A.J. Green are becoming a deadly 10 point connection and hooked up twice for the Twins.  Krauts had a very balanced attack but just wasn't enough as "Shady" McCoy, Denarius Moore, Welker all had 6 points and Rudolph "Red Nose Reindeer" had 8 points.  They still have a commanding 2 game lead in the East.

More The Good: Ferrets improve to 4-2 and are becoming the come back kids as they scored 24 points to beat the Bees 41-23 in SNF and MNF games.  Manning had 12 and Foster had 12 points.  Ferrets continue to thank the Crew who encouraged him to not take Brady in the first round with Manning already on the roster and take Foster.  (Now if I only could have given myself good advice during the draft).

The Bad: The Crew's offense continues to struggle and only managed 18 Points (only 7 going into MNF) as the Mayhem cruised to a 28-18 win.  Bradford was the 7.  Stokely and Prater were the other 11 for the Crew, a team that starts a Woodhead, a Cobb, and a Chandler Bing.

The Bad: Juggernauts got hammered by the Bums 54-24 as the Bums got production from every starting spot except for one (including their defense), Freeman-12, McFadden-6, Fitzgerald-6 Hill-6, Rice-6, Walsh-12, Texans-6.  Juggernauts who have been hampered by the Kraut propaganda during the draft is truly starting to show as they got no scoring from any RBs or WRs.

The Ugly: How can only a 2 point loss be ugly?  It is when you lead by 10 going into MNF and you only face your opponents defense,  The Roulette, desperately needing a win to salvage the season, was confident going into MNF up 25-15 and the Mafia only had the Denver Defense, despite the Roulette benching one of the top QB in the league (RGIII) who ends up scoring 16 points vs only 4 from Flacco. Well Denver gets a fumble recovery for a TD, but surely they wouldn't get two.  Um yes they would as they picked Rivers and returned it for a TD, the very last TD scored on MNF.  Ouch.  Since then the Roulette have given up and are offering trades for picks...That's Ugly

In other games, Crush come back from being down 27-24 as Jordy Nelson catches 3 TDs on SNF and pulls out the win 42-33, both teams are 2-4...Animals trip up against the upset minded Titans, who for the second week in a row, pulls the upset against a team from the North, 21-18.
