Some are 3-0, some 0-3, everyone else in the middle. Good starts, bad starts….it’s a long season of ups and downs, injuries and breakouts, handcuffs and waiver wire saviors….and busts. Some big wins this week (LO) some teams may have fallen back to earth (Pigg) and some are right where the belong (DFUN). Some believe it’s bad luck or good luck or great coaching or some weird FFL curse (Cats). But the season goes on and always remember, if you believe in dinosaurs then they will believe in you. And if they believe in you, anything is possible!
TBIAC is off to a scorching 3-0 record with the most points scored (more below). He hosted the Big Diesel in a battle of heavyweights. Mahomie v Lamar 15-39. Jeff Wilson Jr (UNT’s own) 8- King Henry 20. Njoku 14- Andrew’s 20. K and Def were even, but 40 points from the QB is hard to overcome. TBIAC 148-97. The undisputed Champ (after 3 weeks) is TBIAC. Is it a mirage or can he keep this streak going? Week 4 will tell us more….
Vina-Mites hosted the Commish in his California stadium (surrounded by homeless and crime, but great weather!). Another great game by the West Coast newbie, 112 pts. Hurts 27, Cook 13, Barkley 18 and 23 from the Philly D. DFUN countered with 16 at QB, 19 at RB, 24 from the pass catchers and the usual 13 from Kelce at TE. But only 5 from da’ Bears D was just not enough to compete with Vita-Mites. A good game for both, but as usual the Commish takes the L.
In the weekly beat down, Nizzle02 helicoptered into Denton to take on the Cats. And left with the at least 2 of the Cats lives. 104-69. Murray and Brady were meh, RBs meh, Nizzles WR’s snagged 21, Cats caught 12. JRob rumbled for 17 while the hometown hero, Etienne only 7. Then we go to K and Def. 32 for Nizzle02 and 14 for the Kittens. Another win for the Corporation known as Nizz and another terrible loss for the Ceiling Cats.
LGB v AintReba. A battle between the last 9 seasons of the SackoBowl! They were at it again, but surprisingly with winning records. It was a tight one, with neither team wanting to win. But someone has too! Unless it’s a tie, then no one wins, but other than that, someone has to win!! Allen came out throwing with 26, Fournette stumbled for 7 and Henderson tripped for 1. LGB countered with 18 from Geno Smith (?) and 14 total from CMC and Dillon. Metcalf had 12 while Diggs 7, then D Moore got 1 and R Moore 0 (trying not to win). LGB won the TE battle 8-2 and the Flex 14-10. K and Def were a wash. Final 77-82. LGB wins, if you can call it that. AintReba is sure to start churning her roster this week after this weeks sad gridiron slap-fight.
Undefeated Laces Out takes on the one Yankee in the League, undefeated Pigg. this should have been the Sunday night game! Two monster teams going head to head for the chance to be second behind TBIAC. All the pregame hype was there, the fans were there, unfortunately both teams stayed home. 73-59. Stafford and Wentz were Stafford and Wentz. Mixon and Ekeler were terrible. Sanders and Williams were just slightly better than that. JJefferson (in a freak game) 1 and Tyreek (in a freak game) 3. Kirk and Waddle showed up to play with 13 and 11. Pittman only had 7 coming off an injury but Cordarelle Patterson, who did not get the memo on failing miserably this week, busted out with 21. Pigg won the special teams battle 17-9 but it was not enough to win…. or to even score 60. LO goes undefeated after 3 games.
Soooo, after 3 weeks we have TBIAC and LO undefeated. VM, Pigg, Nizz, and LGB AT 2-1. Big Diesel 1-2 and AintReba, the Commish, and Cats at a zero on the campaign. Injuries are starting to take effect, waiver wire adds are more important and trades need to be assessed. Is the GOAT over the hill? Is Barkley back? Josh Allen looks like an MVP but can Hurts stay in the hunt? Will King Henry reclaim his throne or will Mixon finally go to jail (with Tyreek)? Is Cooper Rush the future of the NFL? (No). Week 4 will give us the answers… and many more questions. Play on!
