He did. He had to. What a game. Big Balls Jake w the 59 yard torpedo in the rain. What a way to wrap up Week 12.
We've reached the final week of the season, and as promised, I've blogged every week. Where has the season gone? My head has certainly not been in it with the embarrassment that has been the Pylons. This is the worst team I've had. It was not fun.
Let's take a look at where things stand with the playoffs and what each team is looking at.
The 9-3 teams
#1 Pork Chop Express
#2 Team Bartholomew
Pork Chop Express and Team Bartholomew are the only teams that can lock up a bye. Because PCE has won head-to-head, only a Bartholomew win and PCE loss will get him the bye. These will be your top two seeds.
The 7-5 teams
#3 Tree Party
#4 TITTY
#5 Coach Janky Spanky
ESPN is indicating that Tree Party and Janky Spanky have locked up a spot but TITTY hasn't yet. They need to check their math, because that is not correct.
Cutter should be in. There's a scenario where Mike Y outscores Fusco by 200 points and gets in, but that's not realistic. Cutty has beat both TITTY and Janky Spanky, so any win this week locks up the 3 seed.
TITTY is in a similar spot. Should be in unless Lou drops 250 or BG outscores him by 150. Not expecting this team to be out.
Janky Spanky also not 100% in, but about as close as you can get. Needs to avoid Mike Y dropping 300 points this week.
The 6-6 teams
#6 Street Pigeons
#7 Team BG
#8 The Young and the Sweatless
#9 Stanky Monkeys
Pige should be in with a win. Similar to EEB, needs to avoid Mike Y dropping 250+. Can still get in at 6-7 with a loss, a Mike Y loss, and a Stanky Monkeys win or Monkeys/Peppers loss.
BG has a more straightforward path. Win and in as long as Mike Y doesn't drop 300+ points. Lose and out. There is no scenario where a loss can still get BG in.
Young and the Sweatless holding a lot of cards here. But very very far behind in points. Needs to win and needs one of Pige or BG to lose to get in. Out with a loss unless he scores 300 points.
Stanky Monkeys are not in a bad spot. A win and a loss from either Pige or Mike Y get him in. Would need to score 300 points in a losing effort to get in.
The 5-7 teams
#10 Philly Peppers
#11 Dueling Pylons
#12 The King's Crusaders
ESPN is indicating all 3 teams are eliminated, but that is also not true. Peppers is very much alive due to his point total. Needs to win, a BG win, a Pige loss, a Mike Y loss, and that's probably enough. It's been a tough year, but it's not over yet. This is the only scenario which gets him in, but it's certainly doable.
The Pylons are screwed, however. Needs to win, have Peppers lose, BG win, Pige loss, Mike Y loss. Additionally, needs to overcome a 240 point deficit in points to Pige. It's not happening.
King is in a little bit better spot just due to the point total. Needs the same outcome as the Pylons but only needs to make up 140 points on Pige. Still not going to happen, but at least a better chance.
The final 2 teams, Geno 911 and Cash Me Out Wide are, in fact, eliminated.
Good luck to everyone in the final week!
