Cincinnati Cardinals: 10 Previous: 10
The Cards stuck it to the "Flakes". Turns out the Drift are just pretenders. Cincy put up nearly 500 yards on a very aggressive Drift Defense. Its official, Cincinnati is presiding over CA#5. Matchup: Fish

Alberta Irukandji: 9 Previous: 9.85
Alberta Jelly Fish (yep, looked it up) were shocked and dismayed to learn that they can hold the Vikings to 222 yards of offense and still lose. Here is one way to do it: Be unable to move the ball yourself. Alberta was unable to do really anything worthwhile on O. 2.4 yards a rush, only 4.6 per pass. Sickly. Vikes scored on a 85 yard INT for TD with 10 mins left in the third. Urkels couldn't get back in it even though there was plenty of time. Matchup: Lions

Vancouver Vikings: 8 Previous: 8
Not sure how you guys did it. It seems improbable with your weak offense, but cheers on the upset of the young season by knocking off the Urkels. Must say 222 yards is bad. 36 rushes for 68 yards is bad. 2 fumbles bad. Beating the second best team in the West is good. Matchup: Mighty Maul

Edmonton Thunderchiefs: 8 Previous: 7.5
The Thunderunknowns unknowned thier way to nearly 500 yards on the reeling Lions squad. Very impressive passing performance with 8.1 per attempt. The Thunder D sacked rack hound's QB 7 times. Rack may be filing a police report this am. The two early losses from the Unknowns are looking less and less ugly. We really wont be able to figure this team out until the matchup with the Urkels in a couple weeks. Matchup: Crusaders

Manitoba Maulers: 8 Previous: 8.75
The Maul got tested by the Pollo offense, giving up 350 yards. However the improving Chicken squad just could not get the Maul off the field. Forcing only 2 punts. The Maul are positioning themselves as a top tier team in the West. The Vikings are coming! Matchup: Vikings

North Bay Drift: 8 Previous: 8.5
Overmatched, out game planned and put in their place. Cincy came out rolling and did snow angels in the Drift. Not the best performance by the North Bay group. They were able to stop some of the bleeding after the first half but too little too late. Matchup: Moosers

Moose Jaw Roughriders: 7 Previous: 6
I am glad you guys put the Dumbos over your knee. The downside of that matchup has to be your D. Hard to win many games when you are likely to be gouged by a sub par team for 400+. However, all in all good result. Matchup: Yellow Snow

Rancho Penasquitos Thunderbolts: 6.5 Previous: 6
Wow what a shootout vs FMMP. Those defenses remind me of a Swamp Donkey. Of course that would make the the good news your offense. 545 yards; 27/44 for 400 in the passing game. Those numbers are the nutz. Matchup: Demos

Arroz Con Pollo: 6 Previous: 5
Things are getting prettier! Manitoba really picked apart that secondary (25/41; 7.7 per attempt). Your offense was functional, not really standing out one way or the other. Matchup: FMMP

Laval Crusaders: 6 Previous: 7
Looks like you guys and the Dragons had a slug fest with neither offense able to get rolling. Not sure what it all means, to be honest. Matchup: Thunderunknowns

Canada Dragons: 5.5 Previous: 4.5
Nice, much need win over the Laval team this week. Really unremarkable game. No squad played very notable. Mark it up for the Dragons. Matchup:Auto-win

Fort McMurray Mounted Police: 5 Previous: 5
Another heart breaker. Dropping to a Rancho team that was a 3 matchup dog is bad. On the bright side the final score is almost overlooked because of the inadequacies of the 2 defenses. 1080 total yards is staggering. Matchup: Pollo

Manitoba Lions: 4.5 Previous: 6
GLB said that the match up vs. the Thunder team was an even 51. More proof that those things are borked. The effort by the Lions was listless and boring. 113 sad little yards. 0.9 average rushing. While allowing Ed to own the field like a college marching band; and not an very nice marching band but a really not nice one. Matchup: Angry Urkels

Fhockey.com Demos: 4.5 Previous: 5.5
So the demos dumped a +3 match up. Moosers just smacked you around like a battered spouse. You guys are officially irrelevant. Get back to us when you are worth talking about. Matchup: Rancho

Victoria Fish: 4 Previous: 4
The Fish have now solidly established themselves as at least better than the Thrashers. You guys are rad! GLB says that they are an even match up for the Cardinals...I expect a super close game. Lets do it Fish! Matchup: Cincy

Saskatchewan Thrashers: 0.0001 Previous: 0.001
Im feeling a bit guilty about this pair of screwvenir panties I 'acquired' last night. Matchup: Drags


Cheers!

Thanks, I was still working through the double check. Easy to get things flipped around doing this.

And really the stats don't tell the whole game either. So to say our defense sucked because of the yards given up. Without a 94 yard pass that should have been stopped but our SS screwed up, we only allowed 220-240 yards instead.

Much respect Zadith, but that was a screen vs. your 3-4 c1 with the FS blitzing.

Either left LB could have boned up for that, the CB or the SS. It was not a flukey play at all.

I could see discounting it if it were, but it was not. Several things could have been slightly better to stop that one play.

IMO it counts.

Plus I never said your D "sucked" in that post. I said it was "picked apart" that bears out in the 7.7 yards per pass attempt.

Gotta tell you guys, I am considering not doing these any longer. Every week so far someone has gotten their feelings hurt or panties in a wad. It has even made the Drift a target somehow for some stupid interweb superstar.

All you guys say you want them and complain when they are not up but then you get all weepy about them when they are up.

I am not complaining. I was just commenting. Every post about Arroz this season so far has bashed our D, and that was supposed to be a cover 2, not sure what the hell the FS was doing. It was a weak side blitz though, they called that play at the perfect time since our weak side blitz was called, but the SS had that play and he screwed up aka a fluke.

Don't let them get to ya. People will always whine, especially when they win and you say they lose. As for people getting butthurt by your comments...thats really the fun of it. I wouldn't read these as much as I do if they weren't funny.

I'm sure everyone could poke apart what you said about them, but most of us have thick enough skin not to.

Deserved. After an activity check we've got way too many players either inactive or not responding to tactic change threads. Until we can resolve that, we'r enot goignt o be nearly as competitive as we were last season even before bringing people in.

Agree with this for sure.

Love the rankings and the goofy humor! We're still ranked too highly based on our Guelph (CPU) win.
Two teams below us (Canada and Rancho) have beaten us every time its counted. And Arroz beat Manitoba,
whereas we got curb stomped. Moose Jaw will probably get put in place this week by North Bay.


We expect to be the targets of crocker humor next week. Hell, we were targets this week even after
pulling an upset!

I would like the rankings to continue too. I know it is a pain in the ass and time consuming and I appreciate all the effort you put into them.

Your SS didn't screw up. He was juked out of his pants!

lol it looked less like a juke to me and more like he tried to dive and tripped over his own foot still a very good game. I hate your damned HB and knew he would burn us at least once.

I like the rankings too, I wasn't whining or bitching. Just commenting on the ranking and the comments about my team. No big deal, everyone does it. This week my comment just happened to be pointing out something instead of laughing it off.
