Week 8
The slaughter of the innocents continues- episode 2
In a very Game of Thrones “Red Wedding” the closest game was a 25 point spread. Theses weeks happen so don’t get to upset or too happy (unless your LO, then get used to being the Ray Rice punching bag). The big boys showed up again ( Capt, Grid) and the usurpers to the throne (DFUN, DSVP) all won by a combined 34,235 pts which is probably a record ( unofficial record). Either this is the end of parity or just another f’ed up week in FFL. I’m hoping for a fluke. And I still hate Joffrey!
In a -13 pt game, Grid won by 62. Another great projection by ESPN! Lesean McCoy continues to disappoint, this time with 9 pts on 24 touches. Upside, Brady 34, Murray 20, Brown 25, Hilton 21, and Vike-queens D 20 sealed the deal. LO left plenty on the bench but it wouldn’t have mattered. Final 158-96. Which, sadly is one of LO’s highest weeks. (Should have taken the trade offer).
In the nail-biter of the week, DSVP squeaks by Pigg 96-71. Clearly this conference is the weak sister of the League since both are fighting for 2nd place behind the horribly overrated Capt and his band of overachievers, and this is all they can muster. A 12pt game from DSVP’s QB is fixed by a 15 pt Justin Tucker kicking game. Pigg had a great game from QB 24, RB 14 and WR 13. Unfortunately a 0 at RB, 2 at TE and 0 at FLEX signed the death warrant, and beheading, for the Pigg team. Neither had anything on the bench worth playing, starting or even being on a FFL ROSTER.
In a heated battle of bitter rivals ( hard to call rivals, with one in the winners bracket every year and a trophy while the other sits outside like a good puppy dog and watches from a distance in the
LOSERS bracket). ESPN says EVEN. Final score 147-71. Cats got nothing, from anyone. Nothing. DFUN has their day with 23, 35,9,18,21 from QB RB WR and 15, 12 from Kicker and D. Clearly a sign of the apocalypse when this train wreck of a team beats a clearly dominate force (see Dallas v Washington). More on this later….
Capt was – 10 pt fav in this battle of heavy weights over HOLA. Final 181 to 64. First, the league record was NOT broken! Cats with 182 (unofficial record). Second, 64 pt MAY be a record low (don’t care). Capt continues on his TD splurge, 10 this week. HOLA 6 ( with his team and bench combined).
This season DFUN has scored 108, 107, 47, 85, 110, 82, 101, 147.
This season GRID has scored. 90, 111, 94, 116, 79, 83, 78, 158.
This season DSVP has scored 69, 87, 65, 91, 121, 100, 114, 96
This season LO has scored 109, 85, 52, 82, 99, 94, 62, 96
This season Cats has scored 105, 91, 107, 76, 117, 109, 79, 71
This season Pigg has scored. 70, 95, 101, 61, 78, 97, 71, 71
This season HOLA has scored 86, 77, 82, 84, 49, 54, 95, 64
This season CAPT has scored. 81, 85, 100, 113, 144, 112, 120, 181( not a record)
Sooooooo, DFUN 5 games above 100 pts, GRID with 2, DSVP 3, LO 1, CATS 4, PIGG 1, HOLA 0, Capt 6.
FFL is cray cray! Week 9, same cray cray.
This is Serious Business FFL
