Week VII Postgame Analysis
Coco's Monkeys (3-3) d. Rhode Island Charge (3-3)
84-54
What happens when you bench Tom Brady and Chris Chambers? You get Rhode Island’s week 7 bumble. The good news is that Priest Holmes tacked on 29. The bad news is that there was nothing else to tack on to. Had Brady and Chambers been left in, the Charge would be 4-3. Instead, with the help of Peyton Manning’s 25 and Seattle’s 14, the Monkeys get that 4-3 record.
Koko's X-Cats (3-3) vs. Hurricanes (1-4-1)
71-65
This one had to be the best game of the week. McNabb pulled through for the Hurricanes with 29. The kicker also had a semi-godly 17. There was one position player who took this game back to the X-Cats: Ahman Green and his 20 points. This battle should’ve defaulted to the defensive battle. Problem is, the Cats had one (and a nice one scoring 27) and the ‘Canes didn’t. As a result, they lose their fourth straight.
This Space for Rent (1-5) d. South Fl Jets (4-2)
46-40
It’s the battle of the quarterbacks (DUN dun DUN)! Okay, maybe not. This QB battle is possibly the worst in league history, with a combined -4 between the two teams there. The rest of the game was better. Not much, but it proved two things. The first is that TSfR can win by edging an opponent out when it needs to. The second is that the Jets indeed had an easy schedule the first half of the season. They could both be playoff bound if TSfR continues its roll, and South Florida stops its fall at this one game.
Toronto Fumblers (2-4) d. Dunedain (1-5)
72-36
Dunedain, well, fumbled. Again. We may have to rename “fumble” to “Dunedain”. A Sammy Morris 10 was the best thing Dunedain could come up with to face the steady production of Toronto. Nothing was very good on Toronto’s side. Here’s the catch: eight of nine players scored at least 7. That’s 56 right there. Add in a couple of higher scores, and Toronto stops its Dunedain- er, fumble right there.
Cooney Quest (5-1) d. The Lightning (4-2)
55-54
I don’t know where to start on this one. Fact of the matter is, Conney won another game by a low margin. Running game went to The Lightning. Receiving went to Cooney. Everything else was dead even. The difference could very well be Brett Favre going 3 points up on Marc Bulger. They did it again, and the Quest now sit alone on top.
The Borg (2-4) d. The Shoats (4-1-1)
35-34
This should not have been remotely close. The Shoats have Dunedained for the second week in a row. Tiki Barber’s 14 did absolutely nothing, most likely because his partner in the other RB position got nothing, and receiving combined for 1. The Borg had its own ace up its mechanical actuator. Their defense scored 22 of their points, allowing The Borg to assimilate their third victim.
Valleygirls (4-2) d. JC's Juggernauts (3-3)
85-42
What can I say? The Valleygirls lived up to their reputation again this week. Emmitt Smith (12) keeps scoring, Joey Harrington (16) keeps throwing matzhaballs, Javon Walker (12) catches his share, and Baltimore (28) keeps running over opposing offenses (boy, did that last one sound wrong). The rest of the team was terrible, but they really didn’t need anything else to fight Kurt Warner’s waning days and an off week for Curtis Martin.
Nor Cal Crushers (2-4) d. Stud Man Clan (2-4)
63-17
“The Clan have basically doomed themselves to defeat by leaving a roster spot blank and starting two players on a bye.” I’ll hold to Ed’s words this time. The Clan basically Dunedained this week. Of course, had none of the above been true, they still would’ve been hard-pressed to overcome Nor Cal’s 23 in receiving and a 21 on the defensive side of things. The Crushers literally crush the competition this week.
Philly Cheesesteaks (4-2) d. Bonecrushers (5-1)
69-55
This is a game worthy of two teams who are now 5-2. Somebody had to lose. Byron Leftwich’s 18 combined with his Eagles contingent of Owens (17) and Philledelphia (11) looked good. Unfortunately, they came up against Philly’s McAllister, kicker, and the New Orleans DEF (they all scored 12). What makes this a win for the Cheesesteaks is the fact that everybody (except for one) cleared 5, while the Bonecrushers had absolutely no support. These two teams are now quite even.
