Week 11 Recap

Howdy folks,

With four weeks to go in the newly expanded regular season, things have already shooken out.  Bring it on?  It's already been broughten!   There are 4 at the top, 3 with false hope, 2 with no hope, and and Auction Bitch in a pear tree.  But if the Dolphins can win 3 games in a row, anything can happen...  

So let's recap Week 11 shall we....


148.60 Wong-Master of the Mystic Arts def 143.37 Jamie Tartt's Better Than You  

In a total back and forth slugfest between the top two teams in the standings, your trusty commish edged the Edgelord Falafel by 5 points.  Even with 51(!!!!!) points from Jonathan Taylor, it came down to Monday night where the Tampa Bay Fuckaneer defense took care of business against the lowly Giants.  A few notes:

  • With Kupp on bye, there was zero chance of me starting the 3 right WRs, and lo and behold the 11 points Claypool scored on my bench was better than 2 out of the 3 starters.  This is going to be a problem in the playoffs, mark my words.  
  • Has anyone seen Dan Arnold?  Should we put out an APB?  Do they still put missing people on milk cartons?  I haven't seen a disappearing act like that since Falafel's dad went out for smokes  one day and never came back.
  • It's hard to get 28 points from a Defense and 1 point from a Kicker in the same week, but Falafel made it happen.

 

144.20 Bacon Lettuce Tornado def 99.63 ThongDeltaLamda

It may be false hope, but Maine is still scratching and clawing.  Big win this week to move into 5th place.  With CEH back and Justin Jefferson going beast mode lately, he's still got a shot if Mazzle falters down the stretch. And is Zach Ertz a thing again?  He needs Patterson or Jones back though, as his RBs are currently depleted. .. On the flip side, let's say a few nice things about Thong, because man, at 2-9 he sure needs some words of encouragement.  He's got to be enjoying the Mike Evans experience.  Pat Freiermuth has been a nice find at Tight End.   His running back depth is actually decent.  Um...and there's always next year....


102.51 Harvester of Sorrow def 80.73 Extra Billy 

This was a HUGE win for Mazzle over Extra Robby this week.  A loss would have dropped him into a 6-5 tie with Robby for the last playoff spot, but with the win, he opened up a MASSIVE two-game lead.  Robby is running on fumes with no D. Henry, but his big issue this season is the KC offense.  Mahomes just isn't Mahomes.  He's got NOTHING!


133.57 Sausage Factory def 128.63 Baldwin’s Bullets

Sean is rolling right along into the playoffs, but the bigger story this week was that Steve - I'm not making this up - got drunk and deleted his fantasy football yahoo account last week (ironically named Al_Cohol).  Once he sobered up, we had to figure out how to reassign his team to his other yahoo account.  If that's not a metaphor for his season, I don't know what is.  


133.90 Rabbi Milligan def 99.07 Majestik Møøse 

Mike Bowl XXII - Feel the Excitement!!!

Even though Mike Frank would have been better starting the ghost of Craig T. Nelson at Defense instead of Buffalo, he still did plenty to earn a convincing win over the disappointing Mike Cole.  He is stacked in the back at WR. We should have traded a few weeks ago.  Sigh....   Meanwhile, remember when Mike Cole was a force to be reckoned with in this league?  What happened to him, man?  Is he just too busy managing his 3 Kicker league and his High School Football Dynasty League to care about our little vanilla operation?  Wither Mike Cole...


Gobble gobble motherfuckers!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
