Week 9. Grid and Capt roll on, DFUN and DSVP continue as the top of the remaining teams, while Pigg, LO and Hola COMBINED to barely defeat Grid. Cats, continue doing what they do. Third highest total of the week. Loss. (Side note- just to prove the FFL gods are angry at the angelic Cats, 3/4 of the way to completing this blog entry, the Cats ipad blacked out, losing all data)
Let’s get to the beatdowns, sadness and scores-
142-108 Grid over Cats. In a -1 projected game, Grid went off. All starters in double digits except one, Def and K combine for 44 pts and Tom Brady (just happens to be playing Denver, guaranteed shoot out) scores 27. Cats countered with enought to beat 5 of the other teams in the league ,but as usual, falls short…and sad. (Only good note for Cats is the emergence of waiver wire super star Denard Robinson. With his 16 pts, on the bench, the Cats would have only lost by 18!!)
Capt 135-Pigg 76. Good news… Pigg beat the spread (-60). Bad news… Monster beatdown. Capt got another 11 TDs to continue this ridiculous scoring streak (has to be a fluke or he is cheating or something…). Good news is his bench scored 0, ZERO, nada, nuthin! His weakness has shown itself!! Ohhh, crap. 5 of his bench were on bye week. And he still scored 135. Crap.
DFUN v LO. LO has been cursed since refusing a trade offer 2 weeks ago from a veteran FFL’er, which would have improved both teams immediately. Bad decision coach! DFUN 99-73 victory. Big Ben continued to dominate with 6 more TDs and 35 pts. The Pittsburgh bad boy is a “guarantee” to continue this hot streak! GUARANTEED!! (See week 10) LO had 27 from Tannehill and 15 from Def and NOTHING from anyone else. Could be another dissapointing season for the Laces Out/LOsers team this year!
DSVP 100 Hola 58. No surprise. DSVP continues to be a middle of the pack, pedestrian team, just skimming by on luck and an occasional decent game from a starter (this might not be entirely true!). Hola has been hit by the “bad luck” bug. The bad luck usually being the players drafted, started, or benched each week. Nothing really to report on this game. Mmmehh.
Capt and Grid 7-2
DFUN and DSVP 5-4
Pigg 4-5
Cats, LO 3-6
Hola 2-5
With 5 games left no one is eliminated yet! The big dogs are pulling away and the middle of the pack are fighting to get ahead. There is still lots of football to be played so hang in there! (Cats accepting all trade offers that will help the Cats or hurt Grid, either way)!!
Week 10- the Force awakens?
This is Serious Business FFL
