Re: 2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league
Rhode Island Charge (6-5) d. Philly Cheesesteaks (8-3)
97-67 Can you tell Rhode Island isn’t playing at full strength? Philly can’t. “Both teams possess a couple of the most productive fantasy quarterbacks (Drew Brees for the Charge, Daunte Culpepper for the Cheesesteaks)…” They both threw decent games, but Brees took that battle 20-11. “…the difference lies in the running game. The Cheesesteaks have the advantage with Domanick Davis and Deuce McAllister over Willis McGahee and Josh Scobey.” On most days, this would be the case. Of course, most days don’t have Willis McGahee scoring four times. He single handedly took that battle 30-19 (and I dare say, imagine what would’ve happened had Priest Holmes been playing). The Charge’s receivers even stepped up, with Horn and Chambers outscoring the opposition 24-8. The Cheesesteaks managed to take defense by 1 point (in a surprisingly non-existent battle), but that was nowhere near enough to stop the Rhode Island Charge from keeping their place in the playoff hunt. Koko's X-Cats (6-5) d. JC's Juggernauts (4-7) 79-40 You can tell the X-Cats won this game simply by looking at the number of double-digit performances they had. That’s five (count ‘em, five). Thou amongst these are Brooks (12), Pittman (13), Santana Moss (11), Antonio Gates (16), and Tampa Bay (10). And on the reverse side of things, you can tell that the Juggernauts really didn’t stand much of a chance, with their only double-digit performance being Reuben Droughns (10). The Cats knock the ‘Nauts out of the playoff race. South Fl Jets (7-4) d. Nor Cal Crushers (5-6) 84-72 If you had told me around Week II that a game between these two teams would be so good, I would’ve called you crazy. Unfortunately, beyond the incredible defensive battle with the crushers winning 44-41, Nor Cal couldn’t get anything into double digits. And they needed it. While the QB battle was less than inspiring (though tied), the Jets dominance in the running game allowed Bettis and Tomlinson to combine for 28 points. They also got help from Chad Johnson’s 11. All the Crushers could do was sit back and watch. Dunedain (5-6) d. The Borg (3-8) 91-43 Even earlier in the year, I still would’ve given this game to Dunedain. Which is sad, because I was all fired up about this great “comeback from the basement” story I was going to give. Don’t get me wrong, they played a great game. This is apparent by Vick’s 22, Blaylock’s 15, Stokley’s 20, and Pittsburgh’s 14. Sadly, such a great game is kinda ruined by the fact that it was The Borg they were playing. All The Borg could collect (get it, collect, collective? Oh, never mind) was Brian Westbrook’s 17. Also on the downside, I can’t use “Dunedain” and “tank really badly” interchangeably anymore… Woe is me in the course of Dunedain’s fifth straight win. Toronto Fumblers (6-5) d. The Lightning (4-7) 69-62 “The Lightning have the bigger names in the backfield (Marc Bulger, Edgerrin James, Rudi Johnson) than the Fumblers (Ben Roethlisberger, Chester Taylor, Julius Jones)…” Correctly called. The Lightning won this six-man tag-team match 44-23. “…but the Fumblers have a significant advantage with their receivers.” Go Ed! Toronto takes this 12-3. Even though the pregame called this pretty well, we still have a large scoring discrepancy giving this game to The Lightning. This is rectified by a defensive battle score of 29-15. The Phantom Fumblers take that battle and the war.Coco's Monkeys (6-5) d. Hurricanes (2-8-1) 91-32 Those unlucky Hurricanes just can’t get anything going for them (well, other than McNabb’s 14). Meanwhile, the Monkeys had Peyton Manning and his score of 40. I’ll stop here. This Space for Rent (3-8) d. Bonecrushers (6-5) 65-32 Just when the Bonecruchers think they have a viable QB to replace the injured Leftwich, he gets benched. So Philadelphia’s 20 may have just as well been a blank. Not too much stands out on TSfR’s roster this week, but they easily outperformed whatever else the Bonecrushers could fire at them. Cooney Quest (9-2) d. Stud Man Clan (4-7) 76-42 Vinatieri and Favre continue to make up Cooney’s offense with a combined 34 points. Alone, this isn’t much (especially considering that the rest of their offense just sat around and twiddled their thumbs). But the defense also came through for the Quest with 36 points. The Clan got some help from Dallas’s 22, but that was it. Cooney is now the first team with a guaranteed playoff spot. The Shoats (7-3-1) d. Valleygirls (7-4) 85-25 Talk about your cataclysmic breakdowns. This game was not pretty. The Shoats inherited that amazing Thursday performance from the Colts with Harrison nabbing 24. New England also put up 22 in their victory. The Valleygirls are toast by this point. I’d call it simply bad luck, and the Girls are very likely to bounce back next week. Either way, The Shoats have technically clinched a playoff spot.

It knocked out a lot of teams who won this week. One thing of note: I said The Shoats have technically clinched a playoff spot. I did some researching of schedules and some math, and well, I'll explain my logic when I put up the playoff picture. Speaking of which, the current playoff picture will be up sometime between tonight and Sunday morning. ![]() |
