CFFL Week 11

 Week 11 action:

Wrecking Crew 28  Killers 24 - The Crew held on to beat the Killers 28-24.  After getting 8 points from Stroud and 14 huge points from kicker Cairo Santos "Todd Chontos" they had to sustain a late game attack by the Killers' Buccaneer squad of Mayfield, White, and kicker McLaughlin.

Cocktails 21  Titans 17 - Titans tried to pull off the upset after D'Andre "Taylor" Swift scored a late TD to make the game 17-17.  They couldn't get another TD from Swift and the Cocktails would get 4 more points from kicker Butker, but it wasn't easy.  

Tua led the Cocktails with 8 points in the win

Juggernauts 25  Warbirds 23 - Juggernauts survived a Warbird assault late in the game.  Juggs' RB McCaffrey got back in the end zone this week, starting the count for consecutive games with a TD over.  But Warbirds game flying into MNF with Jalen Hurts.  Needing 15 from Hurts.  It was certainly doable. But he would only have 12 points (only..) and Warbirds would fall short.  

McCaffrey back to business in the end zones

Krauts 38  Killer Bees 22 - Krauts rolled to an easy win against the Bees.  Calvin Ridley had 2 scores while Hopkins and Tank Dell both had great catches for TDs.  You don't want to see the Krauts sneak into the playoffs.  

Ridley scores twice for the Krauts!

Sinistars 21  Dragons 11 - Sinistars got 18 points from their RBs this week, unfortunately 12 of them were on the bench.  They have so many RBs that could start, it could be come a nightmare.  Plus Trevor Lawrence was on the bench with 20 points.  They aren't going to sit Josh Allen, whom they gave up a first round pick for.  Thankfully none of that matter in the game for the Sinistars and they still came away with the win.

"Run cowards, I live!!"

Animals 43  Whales 30 - The Animals appear to be peaking at the right time.  They now are in first place in the North and the offense is clicking.  They continue to pound the rock with Edwards and Mixon.  This week Edwards scored twice and Mixon once.  Edwards has 10 TDs on the season and 8 of them in the past 4 weeks!

Edwards celebrating with Animal fans!

Legion 48  Chislers 30 - There were few if any weak points for the Iron Legion this week getting points from every player, including Defense, except for just one.  Herbert hit Allen again for a 10 point connection.  They are currently sitting in the 2nd seed of the playoffs, if they started now.

Herbert throws for two TDs 

Ferrets 42  Crush 14 - Ferrets had similar performance as the Legion, getting points from almost everybody.  Jared Goff led the team with 9 points and now have the Ferrets in the hunt for the playoffs.  Albeit a long shot, they are still alive.  

Crush got Goffed by the Ferrets

Player of the Week:  Josh Allen, QB, Sinistatrs - 12 points

CFFL Week 10

 Only 4 weeks to go in the regular season.  The playoff scene is starting to take shape.  But lets first see what happened last week:

Whales 37 Wrecking Crew 26 - The Whales might have ended any hope of the playoffs for the Crew.  C.J. Stroud did lead the Crew with 10 points but it just wasn't enough.  Kyler Murray for the Whales got some revenge on his former team scoring 6 points. 

Murray scores against his former team

Warbirds 30  Cocktails 20 - Warbirds won their 4th in a row having most of their players on a bye including Jalen Hurts.  But Sam Howell stepped up in Hurts' absence and scored 12 points. They now hold a 2 game lead in the South.  Cocktails still hanging on to their playoff hopes at 5-5.

Sam Howell steps up bigtime for Warbirds

Sinistars 31  Titans 25 - Josh Allen led the Sinistars to victory with 11 points and are now only 1 game behind the Juggs.  They also got TDs from both their RBs, Ekeler and Montgomery with Gibbs on the bench with 12 points.  The challenge for them will be which set of RBs to start.  Not a bad problem to have.  

Allen gets 11 points and the victory!

Killer Bees 15  Juggernauts 9 - Juggernauts came out flat and dropped the game to the 3-7 Bees.  McCaffrey's magical run of games in a row with a TD came to an end and he had a big fat zero.  Also with QBs like Minshew and Fields, I don't like their chances of a deep playoff run. 

Bees' QB Watson was lost for the year

Dragons 33  Krauts 13 - Dragons get back on the winning track beating the depleted Krauts.  They got TDs from Lockett, Olave, and Deebo "Dabo Sweeny" Samuel.  They trail the Warbirds by 2 games in the South.

Deebo "Dabo Sweeny" Samuel scampers for 23 yard TD

Killers 34  Ferrets 33 -  In what was the game of the week this one came down to the final game on Monday Night Football.  The Ferrets trailed the Killers 28-27.  Ferret WR Courtland Sutton would catch a 7 yard pass to put the Ferrets up 33-28. It looked like the Ferrets were going to pull this one off.  But not so fast my friend, the Killers RB Latavius Murray would punch it in from 3 yards out for the win 34-33!

Murray scores the game winner for the Killers!

Animals 52  Iron Legion 35 - The Animals exploded on the Legion for 52 points.  Dak Prescott had 22 huge points including 2 TD passes to CeeDee Lamb for 2 big 10 point connections.  They needed all of that as the Iron Legion got 2 10 point connections of their own between Herbert and Keenan Allen.

The Animals and these two are starting to heat up!

Chislers 34  Crush 12 - The Chislers has little trouble defeating the Crush 34-12.  Burrow hit Chase for a 10 point connection and Quentin Johnston finally got in on the action recording his first TD of the year.  Chislers and Animals are tied for first in the North, both at 8-2.

Chislers need Burrow to keep finding Chase 
to keep those Animals off their ass.

Player of the Week:  Dak Prescott, QB, Animals - 22 points

Playoff Picture:

Division Leaders                       Wild Card                       In the Hunt

1. Chislers 8-2                           5. Animals 8-2                Dragons 5-5 (281)

2. Juggernauts 7-3 (337)           6. Sinistars 6-4                Titans 4-6 (252)

4. Warbirds 7-3 (314)                8. Cocktails 5-5 (288)

Notes:  Huge game Week 14 between Animals and Chislers...Sinistars beat the Whales 20-19 in Week 6, thus the Sinistars hold the tie breaker if there are no other teams tied with them.  If so will move to total points.  Another big game coming up is Week 12 between Dragons and Cocktails.  Still 4 games to play so anything can happen.

CFFL Week 9

With Week 10 coming up, next week we will start to look at the playoff picture.  Lots of teams still in the hunt.  But first  let's look at last weeks action.

Week 9 action:

Wrecking Crew 43  Legion 13 - The Crew have awakened.  Or at least they hope so.   In the past two weeks they have wins over the top two teams in the league.  Last week it was the Chislers and this week they buried the Legion who only got points from their kicker.  The Crew however, after trading their dead weight and going younger, got 22 points from rookie QB C.J. Stroud and 10 points from newly acquired swiss army knife Tysom Hill.

Hill threw a TD, caught a TD and scored 2pts!

Cocktails 25  Killer Bees 17 - Cocktails trailed the Bees by one point going into the Monday Night game and only needed 2 points from their kicker Cameron Dicker "The Kicker".  They got 9 and the win.  A.J. Brown's TD streak continued getting another score for the third game in a row.

Dicker the Kicker scored the game winning points

 Warbirds 46  Sinistars 30 - Two teams going in the opposite direction.  Warbirds win their 3rd in a row and the Sinistars lose their 3rd in a row.  Warbird QB Jalen Hurts led the team with 14 big points.  They also got TDs from 4 different players (McKinnon, Collins, Dotson, and Henry).  Sinistars were stuck with QB Heinicke since Lawrence was out on bye.

Hurts leads Warbirds with 14 points!  Fly Warbirds Fly!

Juggernauts 38  Dragons 22 - Juggs were led by kicker Younhoe Koo "Cream on Sum Yong Guy" 14 points.  Plus their defense got a score and WR Diggs "Dig Dug" scored 8 points.  Dragons traded for Josh Jacobs and Lockett.  Lockett was shut out, but Jacobs scored twice!  Oh wait...he was on his bench.  DOH!  Well even if Jacobs started, Dragons still would have lost.

Another kicker highlighted?  What's up with that?

Titans 25 Krauts 14 - Titans get their 4th win in a row and are now alive in the playoff hunt.  Not sure how they keep winning with QB Mac Jones and Zach Wilson.  Not to mention three of their scores came from Brown players (Defense, kicker Hopkins, and Kareem Hunt).  Krauts have waved the white surrender flag on the season.  

Hunt scored a TD for the Titans

Chislers 18  Killers 11 - Chislers beat up a lifeless Killers team who left 20 points on the bench.  Those 20 points?  They were from Buccaneers players (Mayfield and Rachaad White), the Killers favorite team!  Joe "Cool" Burrow led the Chislers with 8 points.  

Animals 39  Crush 18 - Animals are riding the longest winning streak in the league with 7 straight wins.  Animals RB Gus Edwards scored double digit points for the second week in a row with 12 points (last week 18).  QB Dak Prescott also lit up the scoreboard for 12 points.  

Edwards scoring regularly

Whales 25  Ferrets 20 (OT) - Whales started out hot, early Sunday morning, getting 14 points from Mahomes and Rashee Rice. The Ferrets would come back with 8 points from their QB Tyson "Secret" Bagent "Man".  Unfortunately the Ferrets could only manage a tie, and with the Whales at home, they would get first crack at breaking the tie.  They would with kicker Chad "Weiland" Ryland's 5 points and the win.

Player of the Week:  C.J. Stroud, QB, Wrecking Crew - 22 points

CFFL Week 8

 Happy Halloween!  After the home and home series the divisional races have become very interesting.  In the North after a sweep of the Ferrets, the Animals are now tied with the Chislers.  They have won 6 in a row now.  In the South the Warbirds have taking control after they swept the Dragons and leaped frogged them for first.  The same thing happened in the the East as the Juggernauts swept the Sinistars to now take a one game lead.  They are starting to live up to their name scoring over 40 points in both games.  Legion and Whales both swept their opponents ending the Crush and Killers season for the most part.  

Week 8 action:

Wrecking Crew 31  Chislers 25 - The storied longest rivalry in the CFFL lived up to its billing this week.  Chislers took lead with Burrow throwing for 12 points including a 10 point connection to Chase.  With the game 25-18 the Crew would get a Parham "RumHam" TD catch to tie the game!  But they couldn't get another point from kicker Cairo Santos "Todd Chontos" Sunday night.  Crew's only hope was for a Jacobs score.  They got that score on Monday Night Football to win the game! Crew's season still looking bleak at 3-5.  

Jacobs scores the game winner!

Animals 49  Ferrets 21 -  Animals showed no mercy mauling the Ferrets behind 18 points from Gus Edwards.  He was solid around the goal line scoring from 1 yard, 7 yards and 1 yard.  "A.B." Cee Dee Lamb scored twice as well.  Animals are starting to live up to the preseason hype and are now 6-2 tied for first in the North.  Ferrets fading fast.

Lamb scores twice for the Animals

Warbirds 28  Dragons 24 - Warbirds swept the Dragons and now are leading the South.  They got 16 points from star QB Jalen Hurts.  8 more from Etienne but not much else from other teammates.  This could be troublesome going into the second half of the season.  The Dragons couldn't find a single point among 4 WRs.  14 points from kicker Riley Patterson on MNF made this game closer than it really was.

Hurts scores 16 big points for the Warbirds

Titans 34  Bees 18 - Titans won their 3rd in a row after going 0-5 to start the season.  It was pretty easy beating the Bees considering they only had 12 points before Monday night.  Titans got 8 points from Mac Jones and both RBs scored (Hunt and Swift).  With Waddle, Wilson and those RBs they could see some more wins in the future.

Mac Jones leads the Titans to victory

Juggernauts 43  Sinistars 35 - This was like old school football.  Both teams leaning on their running game.  Sinistars got 6 points each from Ekeler and Breece Hall.  However, the Juggernauts got 24 points from their backfield.  Kamara had 2 scores and McCaffrey had 2 and now has scored at least 1 TD in 16 straight games!

McCaffrey is a scoring machine!

Cocktails 36  Krauts 29 - The Cocktails got things moving in the right direction last week beating the Krauts and staying in the playoff hunt.  A.J. Brown scored 2 more times proving he was very dissatisfied with the Crew organization.   Tua scored 12 points and Cameron Dicker "The Kicker" booted 12 points late Sunday for the win!

A.J. Brown hauls in 2 scores for Cocktails!

Legion 33  Killers 32 - The Killers lost a heartbreaker, most likely ending their playoff dreams, plus they lost QB Kirk Cousins for the season with a torn achilles.  The Killers just had to survive the Sunday night game with Herbert and Allen.  Allen didn't score but Justin Herbert got just enough for the Legion scoring 12 points for the win. 

Hurts wins the game with his 3rd TD pass of the night!

Whales 10  Crush 7 - A couple of weeks ago I had said I thought we had one of the lowest scoring games in CFFL history when the Juggs beat the Crush 11-10.  Well we have a new leader in the club house.  The Whales needed a last second meaningless (well not meaningless to the Whales) FG from their kicker Matt Prater to win the game 10-7.  Interesting that the Crush were in both of these snoozefests.  

Seemed meaningless to the game, but not the
Whales or any gamblers...

Player of the Week:  Gus Edwards, RB, Animals - 18 points
