This season's most successful rookie team has done it again, recording their eighth win, their fourth in a row, knocking out Password is Taco 98-79. The best effort in the game for the Tacos came from their Eagles DEF, who returned a fumble for a TD, put up 3 TDs, 4 sacks, and held their opponent to just 9 points. What held the Tacos back was QB Smith's 2 INTs and not enough yardage from their ball carriers. There wasn't a lot of big numbers for the M-holes. But, the players who did produce, did produce. QB Ryan threw a couple of TDs. RB Colins didn't produce a ton of yards, but did score a TD. And, much like the Tacos, the M-holes DEF helped carry the team, keeping their opponents scoreless and putting up 2 sacks, 3 INTs, and a couple of FUM RECs. The win, along with the Half Smokes loss, moves the M-holes into 2nd play.
An exciting high-scoring game between the ic chargers and the Pandemic of Love. For the icees, their WR squad dominated, combining for 400+ yards and 5 TDs. Also, RB Ingram did well with 150+ total yards and a TD. And, their Falcons DEF was solid with a TD of their own. The was one major misstep for the chargers. QB Prescott had an unfortunate game, throwing 3 INTs and fumbling once, resulting in -2 points. The Pandemic had less double digits than the icees. But, those who did put up those double digits numbers put up monster double digit numbers. RB McCoy's 24 points was his best of the season. WR Allen's 27 points was his best of the season. QB Cousins' 31 points was his second best of the season. And, their Jaguars DEF scored 36, their second best of the season. The result, a 144-126 win for the Pandemic.
There are three reasons the Love Supremes beat their cross-house rivals, the Half Smokes. Their running game, their passing game, and their defense. Their RBs combined for 2 TDs and 207 total combined yards. Their Steelers DEF sacked their opponent 5 times and intercepted 4. And, QB Brady threw 3 TD passes, one of which being a 64 yarder for a bonus 2. There's one main reason why the Smokies lost the game. Lack of TDs. They scored 3 total by way of QB Carr, RB Anderson, and WR Green. Carr, however, did produce a 2PT conversion also. But, his INT held him back some. The Supies took this one 107-86.
The Bug had their worst game of the season by far, losing to the DaBruDoggies 95-52. There wasn't a whole lot of production on the Buggers side of the ball. WR Hopkins was the only ball carrier to score a TD. The only other player to put up a TD was QB Cutler. But, his mere 83 passing yards and 3 INTs held him to just 3 points. For the Brus, this was one of their better games this season. No player put up monster numbers. But, thanks to 2 TDs by QB Brees, a few double digit efforts by WRs Jones and Adams and RB Fournette, and a TD by their Lions DEF, coupled with an unfortunate game by the Bug, this ended up being an easy one for the Doggies.
Last week we said in our Playoff Picture report that the Dancers were playing for pride at this point. Well, it looks like that statement may have lit a fire under the team because they burned it up in their win over the 1st place Lancelot Links. The Dancers had six players score in double digits, including RB Gordon and WRs Jeffery and Landry. But, most impressive was QB Roethlisberger and his 4 TD passes and no INTs, totaling 36 points. Probably the biggest reasons the Links lost this one was the Bye Week Shuffle affecting marquee QB Newton and top RB Gurley being held in check. Also, TE Gronkowski wasn't used much in the game. This was the Dancers' best game of the season, dominating the Lances 133-71.
What difference a full lineup makes. We're talking about the Dabalalas, who dominated the Bad Ass Weazels 131-80. It also helped that some of that full lineup put in some extra effort. RB Howard rushed for 125 yards and a TD. WR Stills had his best game of the season with 180 REC yards and a TD. QB Wentz was his usual solid self with a couple of TD passes and a 2 point conversion. And, their Chargers DEF was on fire with a pick for a TD and a fumble recovery for another, totaling 36 points. The Weazels saw TDs from WRs Fitzgerald and Baldwin and RB Lewis. But, there was no way they were going to catchup to the Las.
Speaking of the Dabalalas, owner Jim is in our spotlight.
Spotlight:Jim, 131 points! We just have to know, what did you say to your squad to fire them up last week? Also, we know there are only two regular season games left. Can we expect these last two games to also be high-scoring ones for the Las, despite being out of the playoff hunt?
I'm assuming many of the other owners aren't aware of my true full time profession, international traveling brain surgeon. Hence, I often am derelict of reminding my team when the actual games will be taking place. There have been too many times when I look at the schedule after I return to the US on Sunday and see that I have inadvertently given four or five of my players the week off. I was in town last week as you can tell by the score of the game. I plan on being in town for the next two weeks so I think we can expect the same butt whomping results.No game of the week this week. Happy Gobble Gobble! And, enjoy some Thanksgiving football!
Good luck all! See you next edition!
