It’s playoff season, my how time has flown by. Remember when LO was on an epic win streak? When VM looked like he might shoot to #1? When DFUN won that game? When Pigg realized he might go to the winners playoffs for the first time (that was last week btw)? Well, we are here, bittersweet, but all great FFL season have to have a conclusion. Someone goes home happy and someone takes home the Sacko and is happier! Skill and knowledge is a must, but the FFL gods are fickle, and every week is a new season. It’s go time for every team. Survive and advance, or in Sacko case, survive and exit. Week 1 of the playoffs have happened, let’s get to it….
In the best game of the week, Pigg v Nizzle02. Piggs first playoff appearance, Nizz #1#1. As we have seen soooooo many times this year, it was D/ST that made the difference. Pigg had Joe Cool with 22 and JJeff 18. Nizz got 9 from Danny Dimes and 2 from DAdams. Pigg ran Mixon for 5 and Sanders for a fat zero. The #1 #1 got 11 from Jacobs and 10 for Pollard. Flex went to Montgomery 21 over AJones 16. 75-64 Pigg. McPherson kicked 9 versus Carlsons’s 7. Sooooo, 84-71. Will Pigg survive and advance? No. CAR D scores 1, Nizz’s DEN D 15 big ones. Final 85-86 in a soul crushing first round knockout. The dreaded #1#1 moves on, Pigg falls to consolidation round.
In a shootout LGB hosted VM in a terribly small stadium in a suburb somewhere no one cares about. Both QBs went off, Hurts for 34 and Fields 23. RBs Saquon 18, Dillon with a shocking 19. Cook 23 CMC 19. Theses two were going at it!! 100-96 VM at the end of position players. Here we go again with the DST. The Cali newcomer had PHI D with 12. LGB had 19 from GB (also a shock). Soooo, LGB with a one point lead. Kicker time- Gould 3, Maher 12. Game over. 127-115. LGB moves on to face Nizzle02 and VM faces off with Pigg for the 2nd loser trophy.
Enough said
After coming so close to the winners bracket, TBIAC falls to the Sacko Bowl Tournament to face Big Diesel who also had dreams of championships . Both had good teams that just fell short. Luck? Bad luck? FFL Gods displeasure. Yes. Not much of a game. 119-91. Mahomey 30, Zeke 13, Kittle 21 vs Goff 14, DHenry 22 and ABrown 18. But Def was the big difference this week. SF 15 SEA 0. BD is out and TBIAC goes on to the second round of the Sacko Bowl.
After a weird alternate universe waiver wire snafu, little LO faced off with the all time wins leader CeilingCats in a revenge game from last week. Winner exits the Sacko playoffs, loser moves on. A mirror version of the league had to be made to create the playoff bracket. It was a trial run on one team (not LO) and it worked. Unfortunately it also made a schism in time where a player was picked up on waivers by two teams in two alternate universes. Usually this wouldn’t matter at all because the waivers are done by week 3 in this league. But as luck will prove out, it might have. Cats v LO. Geno 15, Herbert 8. JConner 15 Ekeler 13. Najee 14 Patterson 11. Chase 12 Tyreek 12. Evans 8 Wadle 17. Taysom 10 Friermuth 0. Etienne 10 Lockett 6. Easy win. JTuck kicks 5 and Bass gets 6. Easy win. DAL Def -1 ARI Def 11. Not so easy win 90-87. The player in question in the weird alternate universe was JMckinon, who AintReba got and LO lost. He scored 26. Luck? Bad luck? Collusion? No. Nothing nefarious, just a technical snafu. AintReba would have gotten McKinnon in waivers due to priority, because she is terrible 🤣 but still an unfortunate event. LO will try to exit the Sacko Bowl next week against her now nemesis AintReba in an epic week 16 Grlz FIGHT!
1. Make sure you have paid up ya cheap bastards (jk about the cheap bastards part😂) but pay up if you haven’t yet!
Week 16 will see the two most hated teams play one another (Nizzle02 v LGB) for the big ugly trophy and Pigg travels to the beach to take on VM for the consolation prize. DFUN and AintReba reenter the contest after their one week punishment and take on surprise contestant TBIAC and not so surprising LO. Should be a fun week, stay warm, light a fire and don’t forget to pray to Shiva to deliver you a FFL W!
This is Serious Business FFL
