With 10 weeks in the books, the race for the postseason is becoming clearer. The top 3 teams continued to roll, putting up the 3 highest point totals for the week. For the season they have also gone 21-3 against the rest of the EFFL. We all know how much the regular season means. The #6 seed has been crowned champion each of the past two seasons. The Gnomes this morning indicated that he is indeed hoping to be #6 come week 14. Here’s how it all went down in week 10.
The game of the week certainly did not disappoint. With each Steve Breaston catch anticipation continued to build for the Gnomes with an eventual eruption of “YES!!!!! suck one gravett!!!!” sent via text message following a beautiful 50 yard touch pass from Warner to Breaston. The bonehead decision by Andy Reid to run the ball not only hurt the Eagles, but also the Jackson Five, as valuable points from McNabb were lost. One would be left wondering why Marques Colston was left sitting on the bench in favor of a pair of Buckeye receivers. How ironic that a
The poor Ari Golds never even stood a chance in week 10. The starters and bench of the team combined had only 84 points. Pylons starters Double Glove, All Day, and Fast Eddie put up a combined 87. The damage could’ve been much worse had the Pylons not started Braylon Edwards, who is the worst player in the league. This Pylons team is budding with confidence and looks poised to cap another amazing regular season down the stretch. The imminent return of super stud Reggie Bush could strike fear into the hearts of EFFL competition. The Golds were befuddled Sunday Afternoon as the text messages poured in and the laughter ensued. Deemed “the worst day ever in fantasy football”, the Golds pity party doesn’t end any time soon with a tough slate the rest of the way. Not even Jerricho Cotchery could produce, as he scored only 2 points despite the Jets putting up 47 on the Rams.
The heat is on in the EFFL. Is it coming from a flame-broiled whopper? No, that’s just the King cruising to his 6th straight victory in dominating fashion yet again. This week it was Mewelde Moore, David Garrard, and an STD infested Kellen Winslow who got the job done. Outside of Andre Johnson and Anquan Boldin, this team is a revolving door yet continues to make it work. This is a dangerous strategy to employ but thus far it has worked very well. The Eyepatches put up a very respectable 119 point effort in the loss and should be in the playoffs barring a miracle. A goose-egg from Berrian did not help, but there was nothing that could be done this week. This team looks very solid, but is there enough firepower to get this team to the top? Thus far the Eyepatches have hit the 120 point plateau only twice in 10 weeks.
Where to begin, where to begin with this Stanky Monkeys team. Although sitting at 7-2, the Monkeys had outscored their 1-8 opponents by only 57 points for the entire season. The Monkeys responded with a 152 point outing and guess what: I still say luck. Sending out Thomas Jones in the 4th quarter up 40-3 is bad enough. Giving him carries up 47-3 with less than 4 minutes left in the game is asinine. There’s a reason Eric Mangina is one of the least respected head coaches in the league. The guy is an absolute jackass and learned from the queen of the assholes in Belichick. Luck exhibit A and Luck exhibit B continue this charade. There is no way this can continue week in and week out. Fear not league members.
**** Week 11 Preview ****
Tequila Party Gnomes vs. My Team Is Awful
TPG comes into this game flying high off a huge win against J5, and looks poised to turn this game in their direction. Ironically, 2 years ago it was the Gnomes who sat at 1-9, somehow still alive, desperately needing a win to keep the run going. The Gnomes got that win and continued to fight the good fight. This, however, is a desperate Gnomes team who has had nothing guaranteed thus far. Although a loss here would not be disastrous, this is a game that TPG needs to come out and dominate. I think it will go that way.
Dueling Pylons vs. Animals With Eyepatches
In a matchup with the least bearing on the playoff picture, these teams have been relatively equal over the past month or so. The Pylons have, however, had the number of the beasts. Winning this game would be a big step in moving towards a first round bye for the Pylons, while the Eyepatches could be victorious and lock up their first playoff spot since 2006. I think the Pylons are just too much right now and will get the job done come Sunday.
The King’s Crusaders vs. Stanky Monkeys
The last time these two juggernauts met, the King squeaked out an 85-71 victory all the way back in week 3. Pathetic. This time around, these teams are ready to rumble with 5+ game winning streaks each. Who will the King turn to this week? Who will be added Friday or Saturday that puts up 20 points? Is Thomas Jones bicep wider than Lou’s head? All of these questions should be answered in week 11. I think at least one of these teams should be able to put up 90 points. As the Pylons would benefit more from a Monkeys win, I will take them reluctantly in this affair.
**** Game of the Week ****
The
The Five appear in this section for the 2nd week in a row, and it is well deserved. This is the last chance for J5 to come through with a victory to make a playoff push. Now losers of 5 straight, lineup decisions at this juncture are absolutely critical. The most pressing question is will the team turn to quarterback Tarvaris Jackson to lead this team through the rough patch. These teams have traded blows in the past and arms and legs will be flailing in this catfight. The Golds need this game bad. With Lou and Chris on the schedule for the last two weeks, the Golds can’t waste an opportunity to lock up a playoff spot. No doubt the Eyepatches and Gnomes would love to see their fate sealed this week, but Nick I want you out. I’m jumping on the 2-8 Five bandwagon, heading right to the front because it’s empty, and pulling for this team to get the job done.
