Week 1. Many questions to answer. Many players to sift through. Waiver wires. Injuries. DFUN’s Donut Puncher’s taking ALL the WR’s in the draft. So many questions. So few FFL weeks. Lets get to it then….
In a rematch of the 2016-2017 Championship game, Laces Out, or LO for you new guys, takes on the Lil d Ceiling Cats. Better game, same result. Cats victorious 91-88. Mariota 18, Fournette 18, Zeke 13, Hopkins 11, Cook 13. Unfortunately, Hunt 39 and Jags 29(defense, you’ll soon see the trend) riding the pine. For LO, Brady floundered around for 10, Jordy 13 and Coop 12. Steelers D 19 (hence the title of this week, to be continued). Monday Night Football was the capper for this epic clash of FFL titans! LO with a TE and a WR to play and tied with the Cats who only had a rookie (shocking) RB to go. Rudolph and Sanders 10 pts combined. Cook 13. Boom goes the dynamite. Next week the Lil d Ceiling Cats take on Big D in a battle of D’s…. or d’s……or something. LO moves on to play the always dangerous Cheaters.
In this years first “Ffffaaaammmiiilllyyyy Fffuuuueeeeddd” (editors note- this is going to get tiresome. 2 Brothers, the Cheaters and Big D. Bro-Sis in Dfun Donut Puncher and Ceiling Cats. Some kind of Yankee Bro-Bro-Sis triumvirate in DFUN, Pigg and Bizness. Should make Holidays that much more fun!) Pigg v DFUN. Not even close. 116-80. I looked it up to make sure, 116 points is 2 less than DFUNs complete 2016 season totals. I did. Really. Look it up your self. Pigg had no one but Matty Ice since Bell was working off his all you can eat Sizzler buffett. At least the Ravens, 22, came to play. (more D). Nothing on Piggs bench would have gotten this one close. DFUN had a UUUUUUUUGGGGGGEEEEEE game from Stafford, 26, and Diggs, 21 and 29 from the RAMs D. (D) Montgomery, 14 and Blount 10 on the bench kept this one from being even uglier! DFUN v Grider in Week 2 and Pigg v DSVP in one of the few games without relatives fighting for their respective parents love.
TBIAC or again, for the new guys, Tom Brady is a Cheater or more often Capt, took on the newly renamed DFUN’s Donut Puncher. (any confusion regarding the name will be cleared up by Google and this writers hatred of the Commish). DDP brought all 8 WR’s to the battlefield but could only play 3, hence the loss 75-98 to the Capt. The 15th round QB Taylor threw down 17, AB with 18, his normal, and 10 for the Bills….. you guessed it, Defense. Nothing spectacular from the horribly unspectacular RB’s and nothing from the bench. The Capt, on the other hand, got the Gillislee he wanted and the 22 points he desired. 17 from old man Rivers, 13 from Gordon (still don’t believe in him) 15 from a WHITE WR? Crazy! Evans was benched due to a Hurricane (Grider may or may not have been responsible for this one too) and a slew of SSPD players watched from the sideline in this sad week 1 matchup. Next up- Capt v LO and DFUN’s Donut Puncher takes it from behind from new guy Team Bizness.
In a battle that we are all sure too see again in the Sacko-Bowl, DSVP took on the new Yankee in our midst, Team Bizness. What a barn-burner this one was. Down to the last second! Kidding. 69-67 DSVP wins the worst game of the week. Lucky for him he still has David Johnson, the number 1 pick in the entire draft, the most dominate player the last two years in all FFL, the two time defending champion with the Cats. Or not. Out with a broken wrist. Thanks for breaking DJ, Jerk! A breakout by Hooper with 18 (count on that every week!) and West with 14 was enough for the W. Strangley the Pats D only got -4 (remember Defense Wins Championships, Plumber Boy). Hill on the bench with 19 would have helped but was unnecessary to beat someone who scored 67 total points. Bizness called on Rrrrraaaawwwwddddjjjjaaas and he started slow as usual with 16. Only the Panthers D got double digits, 14 (defense). The 13 sitting on the pine with Stewart would have sealed this opening day victory, if he had actually played, that is. DSVP take on Pigg at home will Biz welcomes DDP next week.
And in the finale, Grider v Big D. As the results of the draft stated, this could be the year Grider falls off the FFl map. Maybe too much time tossing old pensioners out on their asses (in knee deep water) distracted this former Champion, but all this FFL beat writer knows is that this team SUCKS! Carr with 18 two 9’s from the RBs and that’s it. Maclin had 11 but was watching from the sidelines. Big D looks legit early in the season. Big Ben with 16, McCoy 15 and Girly 15 and some dude named Marvin with 9. Brown is an O along with Amendola, so we will soon see how the new guy reacts to FFL roster changes. next week- Big D v Lil d and Grider v DFUN.
Week 1 is over, Defense played a big role, players lost, injured and questionable. Some good games, some not so good (Grider). Questions answered? Not yet.
Week 2 coming soon.
This is Serious Business FFL
