2004 Season for Fantasy Football, FIRST Robotics league

[Koko Ed]

Koko's X-Cats (3-3)vsAmaizin' Blue (3-3) The running game is the main event of this matchup. If Amos Zeroue can perform for the X-Cats they could take this matchup. If not the talented stable of backs for the Amaizin' Blue can lead them to victory.

Sparxs1126(3-3) vs.ryforstek525 (2-4)
McNabb and Holmes will be looked to again to lead the Sparx back to the road to victory. ryforstek525 depends on Kurt Warner, MArshall Faulk and the Philadelphia Eagles defense to win.

gaelforce126(2-4) vs. Sigmakittens (1-5)
gaelforce126 is missing both Hines Ward and Clinton Portis who are on a bye this week opening up the possiblity of an easy victory for the sigmakittens even without Randy Moss.

boodah25 (4-2)vs.NU Cowboys (0-6)
Total role reversal here. The Cowboys nearly have all the bases covered (still using the benched AJ Feeley but who knows when the Dolphins will turn to him again). boodah25 is missing both running backs and Andre Johnson is on a bye. The Cowboys could break through this week.

ValleyGirls(3-3) vs. Paragon571 (4-2)
Paragon571 is red hot and so long as Manning and Barber are producing they are in real good shape. Daunte Culpepper is equally hot but the Valleygirls running backs are not up to par.

Pelan's Bobcats(3-3) vs.The Teal Curtain(6-0)
Curtis Martin could have a big day agianst the Patriots and continue the Teal Curtain's winning ways. The sleper isd Burelson. The Bobcats put thier hopes for victory on three backs TJ Duckett, Shaun Alexander and Rudi Johnson.

Dunedain (6-0) vs.Epsilon Delta (3-3)
Dunedain could be let sown by Marc Bulger who may not get his yards against the very tough Miami Dolphins pass defense but Sammy Morris could get him points in the same game for the Dolphins. Epsilon Delta still contines commiting the same sin by leaving the running back postion hobbled with one back but they have the spetacular LaDanian Thomlinson and Micheal Vick to hopefully lead them back to winning ways.

NorCal Crushers (4-2) vs.Cooney Quest(1-5)
Not sure how well William Green will do for the Quest this week but the Pack may score alot of points for the Quest against the Cowboys. The Crushers may get alot of points from Stephen Jackson who is the type of back who kills the Dolphins. Not to mention Ahman Green may do some damage against the 'Boys as well ironically damaging the Packer relaint Cooney Quest.

[Koko Ed]

Koko's X-Cats (3-4)vsSparxs1126(4-3)
Basically it comes down to Priest Holmes vs. the X-Cats trio of running backs Brown, Dillon (who's hurting) and Zeroue. The Chiefs/Colts game weighs very heavily in this matchup.

gaelforce126(2-5) vs.ryforstek525 (2-5)
gaelforce126 is showing up with a full roster for the first time in weeks while ryforstek525 has both Gramatica and Faulk on a bye and that could hurt if gaelforce126 had any running backs of note (which they don't) and how much is really settled by the kickers? It'll probably come down to who has the better game. Matt Hasselback for gaelforce126 or Jurt Warner for ryforstek525.

boodah25 (5-2) vs. Sigmakittens (2-5)
The kitties are on a roll and with the emerging Willis McGahee on their side they could be a dangerous opponent for boodah25 who are depnding on Kevan Barlow and Domanic Davis to come through for them this week.

ValleyGirls(3-4) vs.NU Cowboys (0-7)
The Cowboys insist on starting the benched AJ Feely instead of Joey Harrington and Torry Holt is on a bye (he was basically on one last week). With Daunte Culpepper on the Valleygirls roster the Cowboys need all the help they could get.

[color=DarkOrchid]Cooney Quest(1-6)[/COLORvs.Paragon571 (5-2)
Paragon571 is red hot and Manning is getting to feast on the less-than-inspring Chiefs defense while Cooney Quest is without William Green. Richie Anderson is not enough to take on Tiki Barber and Thomas Jones.

Pelan's Bobcats(3-4) vs.Amaizin' Blue (4-3)
Another game that leans heavily on the running game. It's Rudi Johnson, TJ Duckett and Shaun Alexander for the Bobcats vs. Reuben Droughns, Edgerring James and Brain Westbrook (who has cracked ribs and probably won't play). Will Kerry Collins not kill the Bobcats hopes?

Dunedain (7-0) vs.The Teal Curtain(7-0)
GAME OF THE YEAR!!!
Dunedain is doing without Stepehen Davis (again) while the Curtain have the one two punch of Mewelde Moore and Curtis Martin. Retread Dorsey Levins may not be enough to take that matchuip so where does Dunedain find hope? Terell Owens and Antonio Gates are a good start.

NorCal Crushers (5-2) vs. Epsilon Delta (3-4)
Epsilon Delta has fallen off the map and until they start using the other running back it'll continue. Micheal Vicks painful struggles with the West Coast offense is also hurting them. The Crushers are making it easier for Epsilon Dleta by having Lee Suggs on a bye and having to start Billy Voleck so Epsilon Delta does have a chance.

Koko's X-Cats (3-2)298Epsilon Delta (3-2)189
LaDanian THomlinson could not outscore the X-Cats running backs who beat him down 139-52. Outside of Micheal Vick (83 points) and the Miami Dolphins defense (25 points) there was no one else to help.Chad Pennington nearly outscored them himself with 109 points.

Sparxs1126(3-2) 179NU Cowboys (0-5) 86
Another dud from the Cowboys who did manage to score six more points than they did last week. Fred Taylor scored 27 points and the Dallas Cowboys defense scored 35 but Sparx defense outscored them 95-62.


Paragon571 (3-2)295gaelforce126(1-4) 178
gaelforce126 got 83 points from Matt Masselback and 52 points from Clinton Portis and not much else from anybody else. Manning practically nuetralizes Hasselback's game with an effective 74 points and Paragon571's running backs Emmit Smith and TIki Barber combine for 102 points to outduel Portis.
The defense added 92 points to make it a slaughter.

ValleyGirls(3-2)341 boodah25 (4-1)294
The Valleygirls basically stopped boodah25's win streak cold with their nmber one weapon Daunte Culpepper whi scored an amazing 167 points to go with the Baltimore Ravens defense's 78 points. Josh McCown is surprising me with a respecatable 89 points for boodah25. Duce Staley added 53 pooints and Kevan Barlow added 30. Ronde Barber added 50 and Andre Johnson added 20 and that still wasn't enough.


Amaizin' Blue (2-3)269Sigmakittens (0-5) 233
The Sigmakittens keep getting close. Byron Leftwich explodes for 141 points and somehow the incompitent Kerry Collins gets 102 points to keep it close. Edgerrin James leads the running backs with 76 points for a 85-28 advatage for Amazin' Blue and the win.

The Teal Curtain(5-0)285ryforstek525 (2-3) 247
ryforstek525 was battling the league leading Curtain with their quarterback Kurt Warner taking his matchup against Tom Brady 75-43. The running backs battled to a near standstill (112-102 with Antowain Smith getting a TD during garbage time to help ryforstek525 out) but then the defense blew up big time for the Teal Cutain led by that madman Ed Reed(58 points all no doubt earned on one amazig play) 103-42(such things happen when you use a defense on a bye) Game over.

NorCal Crushers (4-1) 225Pelan's Bobcats(2-3) 110
Seven zeros. Gooseeggs. zilch. Nada. That is what the Bobcat's had going for them far too often last weekend from having players on a bye to sticking with a benched QB. If Shaun Alexander didn't score 59 and the Tampa Bay D score 37 it would have been real ugly. Steve McNair got 76 points to lead the Crushers to an easy victory.

Dunedain (5-0) 316 Cooney Quest(0-5) 164
Of the 164 points the Quest got 144 belonged to Packers. MArc Bulger's nutso 4th quarter nearly equalled that with his 110 point output.

[Corey Balint]

Daunte Culpepper is now my number one enemy, not only in this league did he beat me, but in my two other leagues the two teams with him took the lead away from me.

The Teal Curtain(6-0) 272Koko's X-Cats (3-3)246
Brooks outdid Pennington 99-72 and the injury to Travis Henry evened up the matchup and the TEal Curtain's back outscored the X-Cat's backs 106-91.

Sigmakittens (1-5)261Sparxs1126(3-3) 221
McGahee might not even start or play.
He did and scored 58 points.
Leftwich has been playing much better recently for the Kitties but he's no Donovan McNabb.
But he still outscored Donovan 114-53.


gaelforce126(2-4) 286NU Cowboys (0-6) 144
The Cowboys only had four blanks in their team scoring this week which is an improvement for them. Matt Hasselback had 92, Clinton Protis had 80, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense scored 43, Brian Dawkins got 24, 16 for Tatum Bell, Adam Vinateri had 13 and Keyshawn Johnson scored 11 to give gaelforce126 the easy victory.


Paragon571 (4-2)324boodah25 (4-2)244
Carson Palmer outscorede Drew Bledsoe 75-58 for Paragon571. Paragon571's defense outscored boodah25's D 100-71. Paragon571's backs outran boodah25's backs 111-91.


Cooney Quest(1-5)239ValleyGirls(3-3) 212
So which is worse? Using a kick returner for your only runningback or using barely used or barely producing running backs.
Definately the barely productive back. Willaim Green scored 55 points. There was nothing for the Valleygirls running game.
The Valleygirls could probably get away with using poor runningbacks so long as Daunte Culpepper is around.
Culpepper scored 135 points. More than half of the Valleygirl's total. That's actually a bad thing.
The Quest is still looking for anything form anyone who is not a Green Bay Packer.
See the aformentioned Green . They also got 42 points from the Chocago Bears D and Drew Bennet had 11 points.

Amaizin' Blue (3-3)322 ryforstek525 (2-4) 128
Thier best hope is the Philadelphia Eagles defense and Marshall Faulk.
They scored 86 of ryforstek525's 128 points.
Brian Westbrook may be all Amazin' Blue need this week.
Actually Trent Green scoring 103 points was nearly enough to do the trick. Westbrook only had 36. Reuben Droughns scored 90.

Pelan's Bobcats(3-3) 201Epsilon Delta (3-3)199
Epsilon Delta is rapidly fading out due to poor roster mangement and it really shows this week with not only the big blank in the other starting running back spot but also with four players on a bye. The Bobcats are still going with the benched and disgruntled Brad Johnson but they still have Shaun Alexnader and that may be enough.
If Epsilon Delta took care of business they would have won easily because they had six blanks keeping them back. The Bobcat's only had two. Micheal Vick almost carried Epsilon Delta to victory along with LaDanain Thomlinson weho scored 55. Shaun Alexnader led a balanced attack 42 points, the Tampa Bay Bucs D got 40, Rudi Johnson got 34, 22 points from both Landon Johnson and TJ Duckett, and 16 points from Deltha O' Neal (apparently they don't penalize you for giving up 99 yard TD passes). Not spetacular but enough to squeeze out the win.

Dunedain (6-0) 292NorCal Crushers (4-2) 279
This was a battle to the finish but the most telling diffescence may be Dunedain's 17-8 advantage in the reciving game.

Amaizin' Blue (3-3)282 Koko's X-Cats (3-3)262
This one came down to Monday night and Reuben Droughns outscored the Denver defense and Ashlie Lelie 52-29 enough to put Amazin' Blue over the top.

Sparxs1126(4-3) 346 ryforstek525 (3-4) 273
McNabb and Holmes will be looked to again to lead the Sparx back to the road to victory. ryforstek525 depends on Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and the Philadelphia Eagles defense to win.
WHile the McNabb/ Holmes combo outscored the Warner/ Faulk/Eagles combb 198- 161 what really put the Sparx over the top was the 100 points the Sparx got from their defense.

gaelforce126(2-5) vs. Sigmakittens (2-5)
gaelforce126 is missing both Hines Ward and Clinton Portis who are on a bye this week opening up the possiblity of an easy victory for the sigmakittens even without Randy Moss.
And an easy victory it was. The main story is 4-1. That's how many zeroes gaelforce put up compared to the kitties (Moss of course). Byron Leftwich nearly did the job himself.

boodah25 (5-2)vs.NU Cowboys (0-7)
Total role reversal here. The Cowboys nearly have all the bases covered (still using the benched AJ Feeley but who knows when the Dolphins will turn to him again). boodah25 is missing both running backs and Andre Johnson is on a bye. The Cowboys could break through this week.
Wow. Somebody placed a curse on the Cowboys. Outside of Fred Taylor's 48 points the Cowboys got little or nothing from their roster, most surprisingly a big fat zero from Torry Holt. boodah25's 93 points from the defense was more than enough.

Paragon571 (5-2)336 ValleyGirls(3-4) 234
Paragon571 is red hot and so long as Manning and Barber are producing they are in real good shape. Daunte Culpepper is equally hot but the Valleygirls running backs are not up to par.
Manning and Culpepper had an epic battle with Manning winning 109-94. THe running backs were a VERY different story with Paragon's running backs crushing the Valleygirls running backs 156-20.

The Teal Curtain(7-0)263Pelan's Bobcats(3-4) 259
Man, was this one close. The Bobcats got 93 points from the Cincinatti Bengals on Monday night and needed 98 to win. Arron Brooks 89 points over Brain Griese's 61 points saved the Teal Curtain.

Dunedain (7-0) vs.Epsilon Delta (3-4)
Dunedain could be let down by Marc Bulger who may not get his yards against the very tough Miami Dolphins pass defense but Sammy Morris could get him points in the same game for the Dolphins. Epsilon Delta still contines commiting the same sin by leaving the running back postion hobbled with one back but they have the spetacular LaDanian Thomlinson and Micheal Vick to hopefully lead them back to winning ways.
In spite of the Ram's pathetic effort Bulger got 95 points but Sammy Morris did lead the running backs to a 132-40 victory and an easy cruise to victory for Dunedain.

NorCal Crushers (5-2) 268Cooney Quest(1-6)200
The 102-49 advantage for the Crushers was the main difference with the Quest ironically being done in by Ahman Green in particular.

[EddieMcD]

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.

Sparxs1126(-3) 321 Koko's X-Cats (3-5)208
It's all about the defense. The Sparx rode a 97- 29 advantage to cruise to an easy victory over the X-Cats.

gaelforce126(3-5) 230 ryforstek525 (2-6) 173
gaelforce126 is showing up with a full roster for the first time in weeks
And see what happens when you gameplan! Matt Hasselback scored 89 points, Brian Dawkins scored 38 points , Clinton Portis scored 37 points, the Jacksonville Jaguars defense scored 34 points and Keyshawn Johnson added 19 points to lead gaelforce. Four big zeroes on the roster did in ryforstek525.

Sigmakittens (3-5) 272
boodah25 (5-3) 237 The kitties are on a roll and with the emerging Willis McGahee on their side they could be a dangerous opponent for boodah25 who are depnding on Kevan Barlow and Domanic Davis to come through for them this week.
McGahee nearly defeated boodah25's backs by himself scoring 77 points compared to a combined 83 points from Davis and Barlow. Jesse Chatman added 27 points for the kitties as well. Byron Leftwich outscored Drew Bledsoe 82-39 for the kitties as well.

ValleyGirls(4-4)231 NU Cowboys (0-8) 110
The Cowboys insist on starting the benched AJ Feely instead of Joey Harrington and Torry Holt is on a bye (he was basically on one last week). With Daunte Culpepper on the Valleygirls roster the Cowboys need all the help they could get.
Culpepper nearly outscored the whole Cowboys team himself putting up 87 points so there really isn't much more to say about this one.

Paragon571 (6-2) 252 Cooney Quest(1-7)151
Paragon571 is red hot and Manning is getting to feast on the less-than-inspring Chiefs defense while Cooney Quest is without William Green. Richie Anderson is not enough to take on Tiki Barber and Thomas Jones.
Manning explodes for 112 points (it's not his fault his defense stinks well actually it is because his huge contract crippled the COlts ability to get good defnsive players but thats a discussion for another board...). A 112 to 15 running advantage finished the Quest off.

Pelan's Bobcats(4-4) 315 Amaizin' Blue (4-4) 294
Another game that leans heavily on the running game. It's Rudi Johnson, TJ Duckett and Shaun Alexander for the Bobcats vs. Reuben Droughns, Edgerring James and Brain Westbrook (who has cracked ribs and probably won't play). Will Kerry Collins not kill the Bobcats hopes?
Collins performed admirably to keep it close (Green had 115 Collins scored 82) and the Boibcats running game outdid Amazin' Blue's running game 152-97.

The Teal Curtain(8-0)290 Dunedain (7-1) 238
The difference is the defense again.The Curtain got 91-46 to provide the spread for victory.

NorCal Crushers (5-2) 279 Epsilon Delta (3-4) 230
Epsilon Delta's free fall continues as once again the defense provides the difference as the Crusher's defense scored 87 points to Epsilon Delta's 67. The really provided the final differnce with Doug Brien outscoring Neil Rackers 13-1.

[Koko Ed]

Koko's X-Cats (2-1)vs. NorCal Crushers (2-1)
The two teams quarterbacks Chad Pennington for the X-Cats, Jake Dellhome for the Crushers are facing mighty tough defenses so they may not be at their best. It'll probably come down to the X-Cats Chris Brown, Corey Dillon and Travis Henry vs. The Crushers Ahman Green, Lee Suggs (who may still be out) and Stepehn Jackson.

Sparxs1126(2-1) Paragon571 (1-2)
Preist Holmes may not be as effective for the Sparx this week but Donovan McNabb could continue his hot streak in his return to his hometown. Ironically Paragon 571 could also benefit from McNab's hot hand if he feeds Owens and Manning is nearly as hot so the Sparx should be wary.Paragon571 is missign a defensive player.

gaelforce126(1-2) vs.ValleyGirls(1-2)
Battle of the byes. gaelforce is missing Matt Hasselback, Keyshawn Johnson Itula Mili and Charlie Garner who was placed on IR this week. The Valleygirls are missing Daunte Culpepper, Roy Willaims, Dat Nugyen and Corey Chavous. So who's left? Clinton Portis of gaelforce is the biggest name here. The Valleygirls hope for big games from Reggie Wayne and Javon Walker again.

boodah25 (3-0)vs. Cooney Quest(0-3)
The Quest hope the Packer connection finally pays off while boodah hope for big things from Kevan Barlow and Duce Staley. They have boldly decided to sty with Josh McCown at quarterback.

NU Cowboys (0-3) vs. Amaizin' Blue (0-3)
Well someone has to win...
The Cowboys look to Whetley and Fred Taylor to lead them though strangely stuck with the benched AJ Feely at quartback. Amaizin' Blue looks to Edgerrin James , Brain Westbrook and Quentin Griffin to run over the Cowboys.

Sigmakittens (0-3) vs. The Teal Curtain(3-0)
The best against the worst. The Teal Curtain has Arron Brooks. The Sigmakittens have Byron Leftwich. Advatage Teal Curtain. The Teal Curtian has Jamal Lewis and the rejuvanated Curtis Martin. The Sigmakittens has the underused Willis McGahee, the never used Larry Johnson and DaShaun Foster. Advantage Teal Curtain. The Sigmakittens have Marvin Harrison, Marty Booker andTodd Heap who is out. The Teal Cutain has the disappionting Chris Chambers, LaVerneus Coles, Daniel Graham and Rod Smith. Advatage Teal Curtain (the missing Heap is the difference). It's looking good for the Teal Curtain.

ryforstek525 (1-2) vs. Epsilon Delta (3-0)
Epsilon Delta must be feeling cocky. They are going at ryforstek525 with one running back (albeit that one running back is LaDanian Thomlinson) but maybe they wont need a second back if all ryforstek525 has the criminally underused Marshall Faulk and the almost never used Antowain Smith.Micheal Vick might get Epsilon Delta over the top against ryforstek525's Kurt Warner.



Pelan's Bobcats(2-1) vs. Dunedain (3-0)
While both teams wait for their disapointing quarterbacks to step up (Brad Johnson-Pelan's Bobcats and Marc Bulger -Dunedain). The Bobcats have the best running back in Rudi Johnson. Dunedain will see if Micheal Pittman is ready to contribute and hope that Thomas Jones can continue to be productive.

Giants vs. Packers-I think im done for. And i think i have to go with McCown, b/c Bledsoe is going up against a great New England defense, while McCown has an easier secondary in New Orleans, to pick apart.

WEEK 2 RESULTS

Koko's X-Cats (2-0) 345 Pelan's Bobcats(0-2)189
The X-Cats crushed the Bobcats due to their amazing 181 - 103 advantage in the running game and from Chad Pennington outgunning Brad Johnson 87-15. The X-Cats also got 44 points from the Carolina Panther's defense, 15 points from Ray Lewis and 12 ponts from John Carney. The BObcats got 47 points from the Tampa Bucs D and 10 ponts from Joe Horn.

boodah25 (2-0)250 Sparxs1126(1-1)211
boodah25 got past Sparxs1126 due to a 113-41 (all by Preist Holmes) advatage in the running game in spite of Donovan McNAbb's explosive 92 point game. Drew Bledsoe's 65 points (good thing they don't penalize for sacks ) to neutralize McNabb's advatage. boodah25 got 15 points from the St. Louis Rams defense, 12 points from Andre Johnson, 11 points Champ Bailey and 10 points from David Akers. Sparxs1126 got alot help from the D with 34 points from the Buffalo Bills D, 22 points from LaVarr Arrington and 12 ponts from Dwight Freeney.

gaelforce126(1-1) 242 Cooney Quest(0-2) 176
The Quest got prodcution from it's Packers (132 of it's 176 points. Mostly from Farve who had 81) but not much else from anyone else. A 97 - 40 advantage in the running gmae was more than enough to seal the deal for gaelforce. Gaelforce got 57 points from Matt Hasselback, 39 points from the Jacksonville Jaguar's D, 24 points from Brain Dawkins, 16 points from Hines Ward and 11 points from Adam Vineteri.

ValleyGirls(1-1) 304Amaizin' Blue (0-2)218
The Valleygirls are basically leaning on Daute Culpepper carrying the team to victory.
Ask and you shall recieve. As in 149 points. A 31-18 advatage in the reciving game also helped the Valleygirls. Amaizin' Blue got an 88- 18 advatage in the running game but also sport a 94 - 42 deficency (the Baltimore Ravens D outscored them with 57 points). Trent Green added 63 points for Amaizin' Blue.

The Teal Curtain(2-0)309 Paragon571 (0-2)251
The Teal Curtian used a 145 - 72 advantage in the running game and a 40-13 advantage in the recieinvg game (29 points for Daniel Graham) to compensate for Peyton manning scoring a 96-71 advatage over Tom Brady and a 56-33 in the defense.

Epsilon Delta (2-0)279 NU Cowboys (0-2) 206
Epsilon Delta rode a 123 - 55 running back advatage to victory. They also got 83 points from Micheal Vick, 47 points from the Miami Dolphins D and 17 points from Mike Vrable. The Cowboys got a surprising 77 points from AJ Feeley(don't ask me how. I thought he was terrible) They also got 45 points from the Dallas Cowboys defense and 12 points from Torry Holt.

NorCal Crushers (1-0) 301Sigmakittens (0-1) 173
THe Crushers crushed the kittens with MCanir's hearty 95 points, the Detriot Lion's defense 78 points, Ahman Green's 52 points, Zach Thomas' 36 points, Donte Stallworth's 11 points and LJ Smith's 10 points. DeShaun Foster ran wild all over the pourous KC defense that somehow still scored 26 points for the kittens and even more strangely Byron Leftwich scored 39 points from his minimal offesive output. What's really wierd is that Randy Moss only contributed 9 points!!!

Dunedain (2-0) 291 ryforstek525 (0-2) 186
Marc Bulger outscored Jeff Garcia 96-34 for Dunedain to pave tha way for an easy victory. A 104-82 running game advatage and a 78-53 defensive advatage finished off ryforstek525 who need to think about getting a defensive player.

[EddieMcD]

As you can tell, scoring has been changed drastically from last season. Quarterbacks (and to a lesser extent, receivers) are no longer the dominant force in the game. Defense now has an actual purpose, and things seem balanced (until you take on a team like the Hurricanes and face a 100+ score; that was just amazing). Of course, I have to say that Koko Ed rocks (and it won’t be the last time I say it this season) for doing the pre-games. And like last year, the post-game falls to me. Onward:

Rhode Island Charge d. South Fl Jets
76-40
The Jets were playing with what could be a good team if everything came together. The problem is it didn’t come together. They were only able to outdo the Charge in receiving (which is quite possibly Rhode Island’s weak point). The Charge had a 25 from Priest Holmes and 21 from Tom Brady. Even a 9 from the kicking position helped as the commissioner’s team slid easily to victory.

Koko's X-Cats d. Cooney Quest
65-39
Cooney had Adam Vinatieri score 10. It’s not good when your only double digit score comes from a kicker. Unable to best the X-Cats anywhere else, the Quest’s game was quickly over Thursday night. Meanwhile, a Monday night performance from Ahman Green (of whom Koko actually does have) scoring 23, combined with a 12 from the Tampa DEF and Alge Crumpler just barely hitting the double digit mark put Koko up top.


The Shoats d. Dunedain
62-33
Ed was right about Dunedain having heavy artillery in Clinton Portis. He scored 13. With that and Pittsburg, Dunedain had 26 points. Not much else can be said (and it doesn’t help that their QB gave a big donut on the board). Of course, I can talk about The Shoats’ Barber taking 15, and Jason Elam nabbing a 12. An 11 Monday night for Jake Delhomme would cap their victory.

Toronto Phantoms d. Valleygirls
61-38
The Valleygirls take a different start then they did last year. It just wasn’t their day. A net of 0 in the receiving department and only one RB performing (Emmitt Smith with 10) severely hindered last year’s top seed. All the Phantoms’ really needed was their impressive defensive showing of 31. Jeff Garcia finished the deal for Toronto, scoring 15.

Hurricanes d. Stud Man Clan
102-46
“McNabb could make or break the 'canes.” Yep, prettymuch with the “make” category. That’s a 30, for those of us counting. “Alexander is a stud for the 'canes…” We’ll also go with “yes” on that. Add 25 for him. I may as well talk about Isaac Bruce’s 12 and Tennessee’s 19. The clan did start to put up a fight with Pennington’s 16 and Moss’s 13. Unfortunately, the fight stopped there. That’s a W and the high score of the week for the Hurricanes.

Philly Cheesesteaks d. This Space for Rent
85-51
I turn to quoting my pre-game counterpart again, who called the right match, but the wrong day. “The Vick/ Culpepper matchup earns top billing…” And it should’ve. But Mike Vick had a bad day for TSfR, only scoring 6 compared to Culpepper’s 35. “…but what Domanick Davis does for the Cheesesteaks and Deuce McAllister does for the Renters will probably go further in determing the winner.” That was definitely correct. With McAllister scoring a mighty goose egg, that left Davis with an (actually) mighty 15. And, as Ed called it, it determined the winner

Coco's Monkeys d. Nor Cal Crushers
66-46
Ed said this was a mismatch, and he was right. It’s not that the Crushers have a bad team; it’s that he also needs things to go right at the right time. The Monkeys surprisingly didn’t win at QB with Manning’s 14, it was won at RB with Quentin Griffin’s 22. The Crusher’s running backs (who probably will make and/or break Nor Cal in the future) combined for 6. They were able to gain a little on the defensive side, but it wasn’t enough.

The Lightning d. JC's Juggernauts
40-33
Closest game of the week. And I really don’t mean that in a good way. It seemed like the teams wanted to give away the victory to the opponent. The only player in the double digits was JC’s Curtis Martin (21). But the Juggernauts seemed the best at giving away the game with nobody else clearing 4 points (and a QB who scored -1). Meanwhile, high points (and I use the term lightly) on The Lightning side of things were Marc Bulger’s 8 and Atlanta’s 9. I imagine both teams will do much better next week.

Bonecrushers d. The Borg
66-36
Proving that resistance definitely isn’t futile, the Bonecrushers lived up to their name. Yes, Ed was correct in stating “The Borg could stand to assimilate some better players…”. Their best effort was by Faulk, who scored 9. Moving on to the Bonecrushers, they had Dunn’s 15 and Owens’s 21 leading them, with a nice auxiliary showing of 11 from Jeff Wilkins and Philadelphia’s 10. That was your ballgame, folks.

And speaking of ballgames, this week’s post-game is done. With no ties, standings are pretty straightforward. And look, here they are!

Well, Charlie Garner was doing well for the South Florida Jets but it looks like he just blew out his knee. Garner was worrying me because I didn't get the production I had hoped from my players. This week could be a close shave for me but John Carney, of all people, could be big for me.

Trent Green came up big for me, as expected.

At least now I have someone who puts up 6 points on his worst day, and not his best *cough*McCown*cough*

[Koko Ed]

Whoa!
Chris Brown is blowing up bigtime for me tonight and it's just the first quarter!
