Week 3

September 27, 2011

WWSOFFL:

Week 3: Break up the Whales. It is not that they are 3-0 after their 56-26 triumph over the Thumbs, led by J. (it is the kind of name that scores tds) Finley’s 18 points and 14 from T. Brady. It is the fact that the Whales are averaging over 50 points a game. In a league where topping 400 points for the season always puts you in the top group, the Whales are scoring at just over 52 points a game and on pace to score 676. The Wheat Eaters also hit the 50 point mark, led by 16 from D. McFadden and 12 from R. Mathews
in a 50-30 win over the Maroons. The Onion Heads were the only other team over 40 as the Patriots receiving corps (Welker 16 and Gronkowski 14) led them to a 48-28 win over the Colassals. The Salon styled their way to a 39-23 win, with 14 coming from C. Johnson, over Charlie Don’t Chirp.

In the results from the Julie Division matchups, it was TD Jesus coasting to a 32-13 win over the Ducks, and the Gatsbys downing the defending champion Crushers 34-31 behind E. Manning’s 13 points.

Still no touchdowns from C. Johnson and A. Foster, the only first round picks not to score yet. With M. Ingrham scoring, all of the second rounder selections have put up points. F. Jones still the only third rounder not to see the endzone, and M. Williams, K. Moreno, P. Manning, and D. Williams in the fourth round have failed to light up the board.

Four teams had over 100 points the last two weeks, but TD Jesus’s record breaking 76 led them to the high total of 108. It should also be noted that the Salmon and Wheaties are on a pace to score over 600 points, but they are averaging below 50 points a week. Still, with only three teams over 40 points this week, scores looked more like they usually do for a normal week in the bruising WWSOFFL.

Moves: Trade: Charlie sent M. Manningham to the Gatsbys for AJ Green. Charlie also picked up D. Nelson (of the sweet one hand shot) for L. Moore and R. Helu for Ford. The Gatsbys picked up S. Chandler for Pettigrew and T. Smith for P. Manning. The Colassals changed Defenses, going for the Pentagon over the Pirate Ship. The Wheat Eaters dropped Charles for D. Murray. The gals at the Salon picked up E.
Dickson and dumped B. Edwards.

WWSOFFL:

Week 2: All the chatter came from Charlie and the Salmon, but it was TD Jesus putting up the record 76 points to defeat the Maroons who had a very respectable 40. M. Ryan, A. Peterson, J. Best, T. Gonzalez, and J. Kasay had 12, 14, 12, 12, and 13 respectively. Not that the Salmon and Charles did not score. F. Jackson’s 15 led the way for the Salmon in its 63-27 win over the Ducks. Charlie needed everyone one of those 55 points to get past the Wheaties 55-54 while the Whales won the other Link contest 49-32 over the Colassals behind Maclin’s 15 points. The Onion Heads R. Gronkowski led the way with 12 points in a close 31-29 win over the Crushers. The Thumbs cruised over the Gatsbys 44-29. That is a lot of points with 7 teams at 40 or more. The defenses are clearly still way behind the offenses in the NFL.

The top picks redeemed themselves as four of the top six scored. That leaves C.Johnson and A. Foster as the only first round picks not to score yet. M. Ingrham is the only second rounder not to put up points, F. Jones the only third rounder, and M.Williams, K. Moreno, P. Manning, and D. Williams in the fourth round.

Moves: TD Jesus resurrected J. Kasay for Gould; Maroons went for the Gibson guitar over the Colston; the OH grabbed T. Jones for Ringer; and the Colassals, bucking the political trends of the nation, went for Fitzpatrick over Collins.

The Great Oz out of town

Let me clarify my last message.  If you need a response from me about a change, you have to get it to me by Friday (a pickup of a new player, is someone available.)  You can submit your roster up to kickoff on Sunday as long as you do not need approval from the commissioner for a change.

Let me know if I can make this any more convoluted or wordy.

Week 1, 2011 season

Week 1: The Whales were down 35 points going into Monday night with Brady and Janikowski to play. After 17 points from Brady, and 22 from the kicker—including a ten point bonus for the 63 yard fg—it was Whales 53 Gatsbys 49. Ouch. The Whales also won the first week money. The Salmon came back on Monday night as well with a R. Bush td that put them over the Maroons 47-45. C. Johnson led the way with 12 points. The Onion Heads tied up the Thumbs 40-35. The Link took 3 of 4 from the Julies. In addition to the Whales victory it was the Wheaties 33 TD Jesus 16, and Charlie, behind 14 from R. Rice downing the Ducks 43-21. The defending champion Crushers upheld the lady’s honor with a 26-23 win over the Colassals.

The first six players chosen in the draft did not score. Every one of the next six players selected did (and the first two in the second round). Excluding bonus points, in the second round, only five players scored. If you take out the qbs and bonus points, and go with the first 24 position players, only 10 of them scored. In round three, it was five of the 12 who scored. Round four was the best with seven players scoring. Yet the fourth round has already lost two players, P. Manning and S. Jackson. Most impressive late pick is easy, C. Newton of the thirteenth round, but E. Doucet also from that round scored as well.

As usual, the first week had higher than normal scoring with half of the teams topping 40 points. Defenses will adjust and the average will fall back into the 30s.

Moves: Gatsbys took Folk for Hartley and J. Nelson for Garcon; Colassals grabbed Collins for Gibson; the Thumbs added D. Ward for Helu; TD Jesus went for Cobb and Gould for Berrian and D. Brown; and the Onion Heads moved Floyd and brought in C. Williams.
