Week 9 or TGPBs on Bottom "It’s a law, like water or dinosaurs"- Taco

lildceilingcatsLeave a comment

     Time has flown by as quickly as points scored against the Power Bottoms!  LO is still on top, DSVP has crawled out of Fantasy hell and is on a 3 game win streak, Pigg continues to win games because no one can score against him.  TSMYTDs is fighting for playoff position in the pitiful, oops, in the surprisingly not pitiful West Division.  TBIAC, despite being deluged with points against, is in the hunt, as are perennial contenders, Grider and the Cats.  Quick review of this weeks games then off to the stat line!

     Team Pigg’s adversary TBIAC was able to break the 70pt wall that our northern friend has constructed, allowing the Capt to win 84-74.  Drew 24, and Antonio 14 led the way for TBIAC while Murray 30 and D Harris 17, sat the pine.  Pigg had another great game from Zeke 21, 16 from ODB and a big fat ZERO from trade-rape Spencer Ware. Luckily for the Capt, Pigg sat 27pts from Evans and 19 from Rivers.  The once pitiful dumpster-fire of a division has been making strides to legitimacy (much like our new President!!).

     POWER BOTTOMS WIN, THE POWER BOTTOMS WIN!!  In a game with the headline “When hell freezes over” the TGPBs shocked the FFL world by topping the #1 ranked LO.  Marriota tossed 25, Williams caught 12, 15 hard earned points from waiver wire pick up Ravens D, and Yeldon actually broke double digits with 10.  Obviously the Bottoms played their best players this week since Big Ben was the only player on the bench to score.  At one time TGPBs had 7, yes 7 players on bye, a new FFL record! Congrats. 

 Lo got 23 from Dak15, from Forte, 19 from Gore and 11 from the little guy, Beasley.  Somehow it wasn’t enough to “dominate” the Power Bottoms.  So, again we see that anything can happen in hot team on team FFL action!

     DSVP 99-74 TSMYTDs.  Pugs are on a UUUUUUUUUUGE winning streak!  Taco continues to hang around the playoff contenders.  Jameis Winston stole 21 while Ingram rumbled for 28pts after getting his ass benched last week, and 11 from Moncrief coming off his injury. TSMYTDs just had no one show up big this week.  Lots of low double-digit scores mixed in with some low single-digit scores.  Witten with 19 and Bortles 21 were the top scorers. They were also on the bench. sad face.

     The Cats took a much needed week off while Team Grider and his team of Oaklawn dancing queens played a scrimmage that doesn’t count and never officially happened. 125-94 in this game that, I repeat, never happened and doesnt’ count.

Everyone still has a chance to get to the winners bracket.

1. LO 6-3     2. TBIAC 5-4 (division leader)     3. Grider 5-4 (points)     4. Cats 5-4
5. Pigg 5-4     6.  DSVP 4-5     7.  TSMYTDs 3-6 (points)     8.  TGPBs 3-6

Points FOR
1. Grider 911     2. CATS 906     3.  LO 903 ( all three in the EAST division)    4. TBIAC 844
5.  Pigg 817     6. DSVP 806     7.  TSMYTDs 752( all 4 in WEST division and)  8. PBs 732

Points AGAINST
1. Pigg, by a mile, 668     2. LO 808     3. DSVP 822     4.TSMYTDs 837
5.  TGPBS 851     6.  Cats 861     7.  TBIAC  906     8. Grider 918

Biggest +/-
1. Pigg +149     2.  LO +95     3.  Cats +45     4. Grider -7
5.  DSVP -16     6.  TBIAC -62     7.  TSMYTDS -85     8.  TGPBs -119

Sooooo, what can we take away from all the numbers?  Well Pigg is living the FFL dream life with teams scoring an average of 74.22 pts per game against while Griders opponents score and ave of 102 per game.  And they have the same record.  Cats are a plus 45 and TBIAC is a -62 but they are tied.  LO still looks the best, 3rd in scoring, second lowest in points against and a plus 95, but is only one game up.  3 games left and the largest margin from top to bottom is 3.  Every game is a must win for every team.  From playoff seating for the lucky four playing to take home “lucky bastard” or the three fighting TGPB for the “sacko”,  this may be our most exciting season yet!  Bye weeks are almost done, injuries are plentiful and sure to continue and the waiver-wire is looking pretty sad.  Still not much trading going on (mostly just rejections of TBIAC attempted trad-rapes).  So to everyone who isn’t playing the Cats, good luck and keep FFLing!

    

Week 7 or "I hate fantasy football. And it is the only thing I’ve ever really loved"- Kevin McCarthy

Week 7
    3 blowouts and one nail-biter.  Hard to say anyone was upset, or stole a victory, or should have lost.  LO is the only consistently good team so far, and she lost to a horribley managed pack of Pugs.  Pigg continues to live the FFL dream by using his Yankee black magic to cause his opponents to SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK every week.  Grider, the Capt, and TSMYTDs have been all over the place and the Team Grider Power Bottoms have been…..uhhhmm….well…….hmmmm… terrible.  As expected!  Lets get to the action, or the lack of action for the Cats v Pigg.
    120-69 Pigg W.  Nothing much to say here. Beat-down by a freaking AUTO-DRAFT team (and a trade that sent Pigg his stud RB Ware.  Wonder what idiot made that trade?)

     Pugs with a UUUUUGE victory (at least that’s how our next President would say it! God help us all), 104-87 of LO ending her win streak at 5.  Shady McCoy let LO down with only 1pt, but LO let LO down by benching 25pts in Forte.  Blount continues to commit crimes and score TDs, 24pts and Brady was just ok with 17.  Pugs got a UUUUUUUGE lift from his Giants D with 20 and K 11pts.  Newly acquired Jacquizz Rogers (yup that’s his real name) dropped 15pts and Crowell continues to be one of the only bright spots wearing a Browns jersey, 13pts. 

     “The Battle for Uptown” looked more like an Oaklawn cat-fight, lots of hair pulling and scratching and glitter flying around (This writer believes most of the glitter was Griders while most of the hair pulling was also Grider!)  Unfortunately for the Capt, he was on the “bottom” of this dangerous liaison, losing 125-93.   Rrrrrraaaaawwwdddddjjjjjaaas tossed 23, AJ caught 22,  Melvin Gordon continues his TD binge with 29 and even the Lambo kicked in 17 to complete this besty-on-besty beat down.  Grider did pull a punch (or slap) by leaving Ajayi’s 27 and Cobb’s 17 on the bench. The Capt got into trouble when M Jones went out of the game with a big fat ZERO just like his Texans D. Christy Michael tip toed to only 5pts and K Hopkins shanked his way to only 4pts.  The bad part for TBIAC is everyone else played really well.  Brees 24, Brown 11, Hilton 19, Gronk 15 and Trabtree 15.  L Murray was watching from the sidelines with 17, but it wouldn’t have been enough to “Power” the Capt on “Top” of “Grider”. (see what I did there? genius)

    And finally a good game, between bad teams!!  This one came down to Monday night, with Fitz just falling short of taking the hard earned victory, and the Power Bottoms losing 80-79 to TSMYTDs. Demarco rumbled for 18, Julio grabbed 17 and the Ravens tackled 17pts for the W.  Luck’s 27, on the bench, wasn’t needed since TGPBs only appeared to have 3 people show up to play on Sunday.  Mariota 16, Jeremy Hill with one of his 4 good games of the year with 24 and Bryant kicking in 12.  Good news is the Bottoms only left a combined 23pts on their bench (side note- is 23 combined points are your bench a good thing?).  Bad news is if Fuller, 2 pts, had started for Meredith, 1pt, he could have tied. Or if they had put in White, 9pts, instead of Mckinnon, 4pts, they would have won.  Just wanted to point that out.  Stings a little bit, huh!!

Week 8 soon, sorry my life (and team) sucks.
