Another week of wins and losses, injuries and waiver wire pick ups., winning streaks (Nizzle02) and losing streaks (LO). Our first trade of the year went down with the Cats sending two RBs to LGB for a broken Deebo Samuels. The Cats have a baby Deebo at home so it was completely worth it! Bye weeks are brutal, keep filling out that lineup and let’s get into week 8 in “This is Serious Business”
TBIAC took on the Commish in a do or die/ must win battle for…. nothing. The Capt is rolling and DFUN is just prepping for the Sacko Bowl. 148-104, TBIAC takes the W. A great game for DFUN with over a hundred points but he ran into an absolute steamroller. Lamar 21, Chubb 24, King Henry 34, ABrown 33 and 17 from the TEN D was just waaaay to much to overcome. For DFUN, the Red Rocket tossed 17, 12 from Drake, JTaylor continued to be one of the worst number 1 picks of all time, 5, Aiyuk ( in Deebo’s absence) 14, and Foreman with a huuuge 31. This one was all about a good game on a bad week, or another way to put it is, just another crushing loss for the Commish
After a scorching hot start, LO has started her yearly slide into the bowels of FFL hell. LGB exploded with 139 points from Dak 25, CMC 32, Diggs 16 and finally something from Pitts, 14, along with the great Justin Tucker kicking in 17. LO fought back, feebly, with Danny Dimes dropping 9 at QB, 19 from Tyreek, and 22 from Waddle. 10 points from Bass at K and 9 from NE D totaled 98 and a third straight loss for the tiny baller!
In another must win/ do or die game, the Lewisville trash transplant Big Diesel came to Cats stadium in lil D and walked out with a W, 129-96. Cousins wasn’t on prime time TV so he went off for 23, Coop 17, and Kamara FINALLY showed up with 33. The Cats countered with 17, as usual, from TB12, 22 by Etienne, 14 from Stevens and a big fat ZERO from George Pickens. Cats needed that win to continue their delusion of making the winners bracket, while BD kept himself in the race to the top.
The West Coast Vina Mites travelled all the way to the frosty land of Team Pigg in a showdown of playoff wannabe’s. Pigg apparently thought that he was on a bye week and only suited up his “b” team. Burrow 13, Mixon 5, JJeff 9 and Sanders 13. TB D 3 and McPherson 1. VM, having traveled so far in an electric car towing a trailer full of FFL players, stopping to charge the battery every 37 miles, was angry and ready to rumble. Hurts 28, Saquon 12, Dalvin 20 and DHop, finally healthy and off suspension, 21. Not much of a game 119-63, but still a victory for VM. Let’s all pray he can make the return trip to LaLa Land before week 9 starts!
And in the Monday Night FFL Game of the week, Nizzle02 snagged another easy win over the tiny troubadour AintReba, 106-86. Kyler did his homework and it payed off with 24, JJacobs finally returned to normal and stumbled for 5 but AJones rumbled for 15, Kupp only 14 and the steal of the week, Tony Pollard went off for 32. AintReba countered, badly, with JAllen 17, LennyF 11, 21 from DJ Moore, Philly D 16 and nothing from the rest of her roster churned team. This intrepid writer is not a math wiz, but I believe Nizzle02’s team of highly paid FFL ninjas may make the playoffs.
Soooo, week 8 is in the books, week 9 is the next chance to improve your team, your roster and your self worth….or not. Bye weeks are still plaguing us all and the injuries keep mounting. Keep your head up, make some good moves, and pray to the FFL god Shiva to save your season. I know I am.
