Week 13

December 8, 2009

WWSOFFL:

Week 13: The playoffs are set with a three team tiebreaker for the Peter Division title and a five team tiebreaker for the three wildcard spots as seven teams finished 7-6. The Gatsbys won the Julie with a league best 8-5 record and get a first round bye along with the Salmon who won the tiebreaker for the Peter division crown and then a tiebreaker over the Colassals, who won the Link Division outright, for the second spot. The Ducks claimed the first wildcard berth and then the two teams that tied with the Salmon for the Division, the Onion Heads and the Thumbs, claimed the other two spots. The Crushers and Muiracles, the final teams with 7-6 records will get first round byes in the Hot Poop Toilet Bowl.

The Whales were the only team in the top six in scoring not to make it to the playoffs and the Thumbs, who got the spot, were in seventh place. The Whales consolation prize was winning the two-week high score money. Here are the total points for the season:

Salmon 518

Colassals 477

Ducks 471

Gatsbys 466

Whales 438

Onion Heads 433

Thumbs 424

Crushers 419

Charlie 416

Muiracles 384

Wheat Eaters 374

Maroons 336

The Colassals will play the Thumbs and the Ducks will play the Onion Heads. In the Toilet Bowl, it will be the Whales versus the Maroons and Charlie against the Wheat Eaters.

The Colassals sewed up their division title with a 43-31 win over Charlie while the Wheat Eaters were beating the Whales 42-36. The Salmon went into the weekend with a virtually insurmountable 97 point lead over its nearest division rival and was assured the tiebreaker barring a record setting day by one team (the league record is 73 points). The Onion Heads needed the win over the Salmon and got it, 31-19. The Thumbs beat the Maroons 34-14 to put themselves into position for the playoffs as well. The Gatsbys had already clinched and played like it, losing 23-13 to the Muiracles. The Crushers just got past the Ducks 30-29, but it was not enough for the defending champs to return to the playoffs.

It was a low scoring week overall, so no surprise that the tds among the starting rbs this weekend was only 4 while the wrs had 14.

Moves: The Colassals took J Carlson for J. Finley for Carlson; the Maroons got A. Fasano for Pettigrew and SF for the NYGiants; the Gatsbys took D. Henderson and K. Britt for Cotchery and Manningham; the Thumbs changed kickers again, to J. Reed for J. Hanson; and Charlie won the race to J. Avant for S. Smith (NYG).

I just want to say that our system is much better than the BCS, the Robert Meacham ruling was correct, although it had no impact on the outcome of anything, and that Ben promised to go back to email from the second week of the season to remind us what was said by me about the Giants and Cowboys. Ben, can you deliver as promised? Enjoy the playoffs.

Week 12

December 1, 2009

WWSOFFL:

Week 12: With one week left no team has clinched a division title, only one team, the Gatsbys, has clinched a playoff spot, and only one team, the Wheat Eaters, has been eliminated. Seven teams are at .500, only three teams have winning records, and only two teams are under .500. It has never been this undecided going into the last weekend of play. In the Peter Division, the Salmon hold a one game lead over the other three teams. The Colassals and Whales are tied in the Link, with Charlie a game back and still having a shot if both the teams ahead of them lose this week. In the Julie, the Gatsbys have a one game lead on the Ducks. If the Salmon and Gatsbys win, they clinch their divisions and first round byes. If the Salmon lose, they are almost certainly in a tie-breaker with the Maroons-Thumbs game along with the Onion Heads. If the Gatsbys lose and the Ducks win, then it is a tiebreaker for the division title. Whoever wins the Julie will get a first round bye. In the Link, if both the Colassals and Whales win, it is a tiebreaker. If only one wins, that team wins the division. If both lose, that makes it a three-way tie along with Charlie. I hope that is all clear. Once the division winners are sorted out, then will come the wildcards. First tiebreaker is, of course, total points.

How did we get to this point? The Salmon took the division lead after a big 37 point Monday night gave them a come-from-behind 45-40 win over the Colassals. The Whales pulled even with the Colassals as Fred/David Akers’ 13 points led them to a 55-23 win over the Maroons. The Gatsbys clinched a playoff spot as A. Gates scored 14 points to led them to a 42-27 win over the Wheaties. The Ducks stayed in the hunt for the division title with a 36-12 victory over the Onion Heads. The Thumbs got back to .500 with a 32-17 win over the Muiracles. Charles hung on to the hope of a tiebreaker with two LT tds leading the way to a 28-21 win over the defending champ Crushers.

Among the starters this weekend rbs scored 13 tds to 9 by the wrs.

Moves: The Colassals took J. Finley for Carlson and L. Johnson for Betts; the Gatsbys reacquired Buffalo for Detroit; Charlie went Rock for Fargas, Bell for Moats; the Onion Heads took Cundiff for O. Daniels.

The DeSales Irish lost to Colfax 19-0 in the state semifinal. It was a close battle the first half, the difference being a 53 yard run by Colfax for a 6-0 lead. But DeSales qb Pat Richard suffered a concussion right before the half and with a freshman qb the Irish offense could not sustain a drive in the second half. Still it was a great season. Number 54 is disappointed but proud of his team. Go Irish!
