**I miscalculated the Salmon score and they won 38-36 over the Wheat Eaters.  My apologies to all.  No excuses.  Like Philip Rivers, I just dropped the ball.  A new standings is attached.

Week 8: The Maroons have scored well all year, but the schedule maker has been unkind. This week, they left nothing to chance posting a week leading 51 points behind 15 from L. McCoy in a 51-30 win over the Colassals. The Thumbs put the screws to the defending champions with a 37-11 victory. Keeping the Peter win streak going, the Onion Heads got 15 from S. Jackson in a 43-34 win over the Gatsbys. The Linksters also had a three win week led by the Wheat Eaters who stopped Peter Division leader the Salmon in a tiebreaker win. Two tds from the Detroit D were critical in forging a 36-36 tie and a 34-32 win after bonus points were deducted. The Whales kept their two game lead and league best record with a NY Giantsesque 24-17 defeat of the winless Ducks. Charliegot 18 points from R. Rice in a big 44-18 win over TD Jesus. Yes, that means the Julie Division was winless for the week, with only one team scoring over 20 points.

In the playoff picture, I think it is safe to say that some teams are all but out of the running already: Ducks, Gatsbys, and Maroons. The Crushers and Colassals need to get hot, and the remainder of the teams are all in the mix. Week 9 has some big games with the Peter co-leader the Onion Heads facing and Link Division leading Whales, and the other Peter co-leader the Salmon playing the Julie leading TD Jesus.

Moves: Crushers picked up D. Bailey for A. Vinatieri. Oh how the Colts have fallen when the always dependable Vinatieri is dropped. The Onion Heads reacquired P. Thomas for E. Graham.
