All I got today. I hope Chriztain recognizes that the GOTW is Alberta - Laval! Clash of the Titans! or Tinys!
Cincinnati Cardinals: 10 Previous: 10
Cards win again! They escaped a visit from the chicken in fine fashion. The Red Bird had some challenges moving the ball on Arroz, only 270 total with a paltry 2.3 through the air. They were good for 5 yards a rush. On D, perhaps the game winning fumble recovery for TD or the forced FG while up only 7 were the keys to this one. The rest of #5 will have to keep waiting for our Vike in Shining Armor to knock off the evil Red Bird. If that Vike appears it will make us all feel better about ourselves. Matchup: Vikes
Vancouver Vikings: 9.25 Previous: 9.25
Nice bye week for the Vikes. Perhaps tuning up the machine for the Birds matchup? or just tuning up the old lady. Hard to say. We shall see in 36 hours. Matchup: Birds
North Bay Drift: 9 Previous: 9
The Drift completed a thorough tour of Fort McMurray with a camera full of pics of the 2 HBs crawling all over the vulnerable Fort. Over 400 yards for those 2 rushing and nearly 80 receiving. It was a fun day full of ramparts and brochures. The Mounties managed only 3.5 per play in the contest. The Drift D beat the Mounties on several 4th down tries that lead to a lower than expected 7 points given up. Matchup: Demos
Manitoba Maulers: 9 Previous: 9
Mani put a death move on the Fish. They moved the ball any and every way they chose. To the tune of 550+ yards. The Mauler DEs feasted on bloated Fish QBs all day. Allowing them only 3 yards per play and just 15 mins of possession time. It was not close and never in doubt. Matchup: Dragons
Edmonton Thunderchiefs: 8 Previous: 8
Guys I scored a Thunderknown bobble head this weekend! If I am being honest, I put it on my headboard for a bit of extra passion when it counts. They "Rick Rolled" a quality Demos offense. The Known D was all over the Demos QBs. Decimating the Demos offensively and defensively. This team is for real and certainly 'known' now. Matchup: Rancho
Arroz Con Pollo: 8 Previous: 7.5
~When the music starts, hold your hands out in front of you and open and close them like a chicken beak four times. Put your thumbs in your armpits and flap your wings four times. Place your arms and hands like the tail feathers of a chicken and wiggle down to the floor four times. Clap four times. Rinse and repeat! You have just done the Chicken Dance!~ I would imagine home games in Arroz are about annoying as you can get. The Chicken put a serious scare into the Evil Red Bird. Serious. Take that 1st Q fumble for TD away and maybe a third down conversion late in the 4th and we are looking at an upset. Great game, better gameplan. These guys have earned some respect after a very disappointing start to the season. Don't let up boys. Couple spooky matchups down the line here. 5th playoff spot would be advisable. Matchup: Moosers
Moose Jaw Roughriders: 7 Previous: 6.5
Rancho 17 - Moosers 54. Mooser offense 7.1 rushing, 7.4 passing. Another solid respectable outcome. Two losses in S7 that could have been the other way in Victoria and Canada, flip those around and you have an 8-4 team. Instead you guys have some work to do with Arroz and Vancouver coming up. No room for both losses I don't think. Matchup: Arroz
Canada Dragons: 6.5 Previous: 6
Here we go Drags. You guys have been just under the surface. Finished the week with a freebie courtesy of the quitter team. I'm not interested in even opening the box score. Of real interest is what you do the next 4 games. The league has much respect for Old and his GM squad. Solid team no doubt. Mid teens in the league in O and D, but it comes down to the last couple to determine success/fail for the season. Matchups with Mani and in the Drift are likely to determine playoffs or not. OP is pulling for you (save the Drift game). Matchup: Mani
Rancho Penasquitos Thunderbolts: 6 Previous: 6
Rancho, you are just not good enough. You have the team to compete here. Getting woodshedded by the Moosers after nearly knocking off the Cards is not what you want to see. Rancho moved the ball with over 300 yards of offense but had no answer whatsoever for the Mooser O. According to what I have here (on a quick check) you guys have the 7th best offense in the league but the 22nd worst defense. I hope to see you guys really put the pieces together for S8. Matchup: Thunderknowns
Victoria Fish: 6 Previous: 6
Mani smashed your fuck. Really no way to spin this one. Less than 2 yard average both rushing and passing. It got to a point that the Maul was using your squad for practice drills. The Fish made some changes and I assume decided to actually game plan some this season. Last 3 losses have been against very good, game planning teams. (Van, Arroz and Mani). With your levels you really should have at least competed with those teams, but you didn't. You guys have a couple winnable ones upcoming but finish in the Drift and a visit by the Knowns. You are going to need those games I think. Kudos on righting the ship early but you are going to have to find some answers for the best in the West. Matchup: FMMP
Manitoba Lions: 6 Previous: 5.5
The Lions had a auto with one of the #5 quitters. This team is brimming with talent just trying to find their way. A couple quality wins going out with Moosers and Rancho will really set the table for a return to glory in S8. Bring it home Lions. Matchup: Thrash
Fort McMurray Mounted Police: 5 Previous: 5
Razor and clan have been searching and searching. This team is a darling of #5. Everyone wants them to get there. There has been no answers. There was a positive sign against the Demos, but the Drift asserted themselves in a major way winning this one. FMMP hang in there, find your spot. There is no reason you guys cant win out with matchups with the Fish, Drags, and 2 auto wins. Matchup: Fish
Fhockey.com Demos: 4 Previous: 4
Demos are afk. Once again. Matchup: Drift
Alberta Irukandji: 3 Previous: 7.5
Alberta, the little brother that begs to play Risk but quits crying after you storm Greenland. Little brothers never finish the game. Whatever. Matchup: Laval
Laval Crusaders: 2 Previous: 5
Salty Balls Matchup: Alberta Quit
Saskatchewan Thrashers: 0.000001 Previous: 0.00001
Matchup: Lions
Cheers!
