Week 9 Highlights:
A high-scoring game between the Lancelot Links and the Dabalalas with the Las coming out on top 131-123. The Las had their best game of the season after averaging 83 points. They saw double digits from almost the entire squad. The Links were let down by two players. #1 TE Gronkowski was held in check with just 47 Rec yards. And, QB Rivers scored 17 points after scoring 30+ in each of his previous three games.
Last season's runner up, the Half Smokes, have been on a downward spiral lately having lost their fourth game in a row. For their opponent, the Dancers, it's been the opposite. They've won their last three in a row. It was a tight seesaw battle throughout the game. Even going into the Monday night game, the two teams were only a point apart. Not to take away from the Dancers win, but we believe they were quite lucky they came out on top. They lost both of their RB's to injuries during the game. Fortunately for the Dancers, the Smokies saw single digits from all but a few players, resulting in a 118-99 win. for the Dancers.
The Bad Ass Weazels beat the Mighty Long Dogs, 118-99 thanks to a strong showing by their air attack. QB Dalton threw 3 TD passes and all of the Weazels receivers scored TD's. They didn't see a whole lot of production out of their runners and their Saints DST got run all over. The Longdogs output came mostly by way of their ground attack. Both RB's Murray and Langford made it into the endzone and scored in the 20+. It was a different story for their passing game. QB Tannehill didn't produce any TD's and only two receivers scored TD's.
It took five weeks, but another team finally beat the the Love Supremes. Fittingly, that team was the Cheesesteaks who've been on a win streak after starting the season 0-5. There are two reasons why the Steaks took this one. First, RB Williams had a huge game with 2 TD's, a 2PT conversion, and 225 total yards. Second, the Supies played the game with injured RB Hyde who was ruled out last Friday. Unfortunately, with only one other RB, Lynch, who was on a Bye, the Supies didn't have a replacement to start. The Cheeses took this one, 110-90.
A close 107-104 win over the ic chargers by the DaBruDoggies thanks to another huge game by Brus QB Brees who threw 387 yards and scored 4 TD's, one of which he ran in. They also did well by RB Ivory who didn't get a lot of yardage, but found the endzone twice. The chargers kept up thanks to three players. RB Blount put up a lot of yards and a TD. QB Manning scored a bonus 2 for a 64 yard TD pass. But, the highlight for the icees was WR Brown and his monster 30 points. The funny thing is, Brown didn't score a single TD. But, he more than made up for it with 284 receiving yards and a bonus 2 for receiving over 200 yards. It looks like a coaching issue may have caused the chargers loss. K Folk was ruled out on Sunday and icees backup K Carpenter scored 7.
An unbelievable finish to the matchup between the Killer Bunnies and the Pandemic of Love. It was looking like another loss for the Pandemic thanks to a huge effort from Bunnies QB Rodgers' 4 TD's, 369 yards, and a bonus 2. Both teams had one final player to play in the Sunday night game, Bunnies TE Ertz and Pandemic WR Matthews. By the end of regulation, the Love were behind by 3. The game goes into overtime. Matthews catches a game-winning 41 yard TD pass, resulting in 11 more points and a 124-116 win for the Pandemic, breaking their 4 game losing streak.
Speaking of the Pandemic of Love, owner Ryan is in our spotlight.
Spotlight:It's been a rough season for the Pandemic, but your week 9 win was huge. What are the chances of ending the season 6-6-1? What are the chances that your week 10 opponent, the Lancelot Links, will be humbled by the Love?
There is absolutely no chance of ending 6-6-1 for the pandemic. If the contract negotiations with Tom Brady at the beginning of the season would have worked out, we feel it could've been a different story. We're just glad to share an important word with the league leader. And that's LOVE y,all. Mic drop.There is no Game Of The Week preview this week. We forced our editor-in-chief to take a mandatory vacation.
Good luck all! See you next edition!
