Week 10 is over and we are one game closer to Playoff season, or Sacko Bowl for 6 unfortunate teams. Injuries and bye weeks are still big players on everyone’s roster, and the waiver wire is reeeeaaallll thin. This week we will take a quick look at the overall numbers so far and see who’s good, bad, lucky and who drew the wrath of the FFL gods this season (hint…. Meow). Let’s get to the week 10 recap!
Kupp gave Nizz the W, but left the game on IR. Jacobs, surprisingly, still hasn’t disappeared, ran for 15. Carr was Carr, 14 and DAdams 12. Pigg just didn’t have much this week. 14 from Cousins, JJeff 11 and no one else in double digits. Nizzle02’s luck remains intact another week.
Welllll, not really. BD 95-89 victory over DFUN. Mahomie blew up with 25, and Kamara 13. The rest of the team just sat on the sideline and watched DFUN try to break 90 points. JTaylor finally ran the ball, 13, CeeDee only 9, Foreman 11 and Kelce, as always, 14. Before the special teams entered the game the score was 80-80. But then the special teams entered the game and Big Diesel kicked and tackled 14, while the Commish stumbled and missed with only 8. Ball game!
In a case of good game, wrong week, the Cats went down to the West Coast Wonder 106-96. The Goat tossed 18, Etienne 16, Williams 11 and in Deebo’s return, 10. DAL Def got run over, literally, by GB and only scored 2. VM got 21 from Hurts, 17 from Saquon, 14 tough ones for Dalvin and Damien Pierce rumbled for 14. Add 14 from the special teams and it adds up to another W for the Hollywood Superstar, and another, unlucky, loss for the kittens…
In the best game of the week, LGB went to Greenville Ave to slap fight TBIAC. These two really went at it with their open hands flailing about wildly! Fields ran, occasionally threw, for 20. JimmyG 17. CMC 18, Chubb 14. Walker III and Diggs combined for 25 while the Capt countered with 28 for King Henry and ABrown. This looks like it’s going to be a close one! A Pearce, whoever that is, only caught 5 and Pitts snagged 6. GDavis 8 and Schultz found 5. At flex, Allgeir 5 vs Cooks 6. 82-81. Now it’s time for our favorite part…Special Teams!! LGB put Maher and BUF against York and NO. 8 to 8 at K, 5.93 to 7.74 at Def. Final score LGB 96.5, TBIAC…….. 97 and the W! A half point slap in the face!
In our second Cat fight of the year, LO faced off with AintReba for the title! As expected, these two tiny pugilists came out firing on all cylinders, throwing haymakers and pulling hair! Herbert continued to disappoint LO with 14 while JAllen had a bad game for Reba with only 21. Ekeler 15, Patterson, in the lineup this week, 8 and Tyreek 13. The artist known as Denton’s Red Dirt Diva had Lenny stumble around for 10, DK 8 and DHenderson (can’t believe his guy is even on a team) had a career high with 9. 11 and 14 for the K & Def finished this game up just as it began…..boring. LO rides high (as high as she can) and adds the title of 2022 Queen of the Gridiron to her multiple Sacko Trophy’s! AintReba was last seen staring at her extensive art collection, and wondering where it all went wrong (draft, research, roster churning….)😘
And now, let’s do some Math-lete stuff! No big surprise, Nizzle02 is on top at 9-1 followed by LGB 7-3, LO 6-4 (???), VM TBIAC BD and Pigg all at 5-5. Cats and DFUN 3-7 (WTF is going on this season???) And, as always, AintReba in the gutter, where LO left her last week, 2-8 (who did she beat?). But does wins and losses tell us the whole story? Yes but no. Wins are all that matter, but the FFL Gods are fickle. Some times the off season tributes or indiscretions can come back to you in the season. Nizzle02 clearly burned incense and prayed to Shiva, showered her with gifts and baby elephants. The Cats lost their way, forgetting that FFL is a spiritual endeavor, and mock drafts and FantasyPros can only go so far. Which leads us to POINTS, for and against. Nizzle02 1189.44 at the top, LGB 1130.4, VM 1109.42, LO 1105.4, TBIAC 1080.04, BD 1059.72, Pigg 1048.94, Cats 1046.86, DFUN 933.42 and AintReba 28. Just kidding 902. 04. From the highest scorer to the lowest, a difference of 287.36 points over 10 games is 28.736 points more every week on average for Nizz than AintReba. WOW… Now points against. Cats leading with 1224.4 while Pigg has the low with 956.96. That is a 267.44 difference or 26.7 points a game. WOW… in the case of Pigg and the CeilingCats that difference shows in a 5-5 record vs a 3-7 record. Nizzle02, with the most points scored is 7th in points against. Must be fucking nice! DFUN comes in 2nd in points against (and a 3-7 record) while LO has the second least scored against her (probably because she plays Reba every week🥳) but explains her winning record. Most of our fellow teams fall in the middle of both groups and the record shows it. No real mystery solved here but proof that Shiva can smile on some and stomp on others. That’s it for this week, enjoy the freezing temps (except Vita-Mite’s who is at the beach adding up his State income tax bill) and let’s get ready for week 11 in “This is Serious Bizness”. I’m going to run down to the store and see if there is any incense or bright shiny things left…
