Will fix when i get home

 

[fuey]

score upgraded to 284.2 after adjustments, do I climb in the overall rankings?

Down to 283.7 now, wish ESPN would make up their minds... Still up to 16th best score of all time. (284.2 would've only got you up to 15th anyway)

EDIT: Need 288 to crack the Top 10

Wow I'd thought there would've been a few more 300's actually.

Quite bunched there with 8 scores in 12 points for 3rd to 10th.

Yeah, I thought the same, but as it turns out, twice in 1000+ league games makes it pretty special.

Places 11-30 range between 287 and 270 also, fwiw.

Pandas Broncos 205.0 Lst. Hedeby Berserkers 228.4
Offensive MVP
3. Jameis Winston (HED) 36.1
2. Mike Evans (HED) 30.3
1. Robert Woods (PAN) 28.0

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Alexander Johnson (PAN) 15.0
2. Greg Zeurlein (PAN) 14.0
0.25. Haason Reddick (PAN) 13.0
0.25. Shaq Barrett (HED) 13.0
0.25. Trevon Diggs (HED) 13.0
0.25. Taron Johnson (HED) 13.0

Both teams put their best foot forward in this one, with the Berserkers pulling off a win and going a game clear on top of the Gem division. A trio of Vikings (albeit one ex-viking) let panda2com down the most, 11pts between Thielen/Cook (somoene didn’t wake up at 4am Monday)/Murray was a killer and potential game-turner. J Shuttlesworth was a little luckier, really only WRs McLaurin and Brown, and Zach Wilson missing the mark. Even survived getting a negative from Chargers Kicker Tristan Vizcaino.


Chevys Chasers 215.0 Lst. ConstantGin 222.3
Offensive MVP
3. Tom Brady (CHC) 53.7
2. Carson Wentz (GIN) 32.0
1. Matt Ryan (GIN) 29.8

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Derwin James (GIN) 21.0
2. Marshon Lattimore (CHC) 19.0
1. Cole Holcomb (CHC) 11.0

After a false start in Week 2, Constantgin finally joined the winners list with a close victory over Championship fancy Chevys Chasers. Led by his QB trio of Ryan/Wentz and Lawrence, with Derwin James chipping in with 20.5 also. Not even 50+ from Brady could help Chism, as his struggles at RB were obvious with Carson out. Wilson injuring his was no help either.


Beads Army 199.2 Lst. TCols Stars 218.7
Offensive MVP
3. Justin Herbert (BEA) 57.3
2. Josh Allen (TCS) 47.0
1. Ja’Marr Chase (TCS) 30.9

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Alex Singleton (TCS) 15.0
2. MIcah Hyde (BEA) 14.0
1. Eric Kendrick (TCS) 12.5

What are the chances of having a player score 50+ pts and that team not winning the game?? 100% according to this week in BETA, as Bucking Beads got a ridiculous game from Justin Herbert, possibly one of the greatest ever from an individual in BETA. Bengals RB Samaje Perine was the only other offensive player to beat their projected for the Army. Josh Allen and Ja’Marr Chase amassed 30% of @TCols total score, with decent contributions from a few others, most importantly the win kept him from falling a further game behind in the division/wildcard.

 

[Constantgin]

So happy to get my first win

 

[arakaan]

Now I'm annoyed that I got the miracle win last week. If it's going to be a s**t year it might as well be properly s**t.

You've got a good team, just really fn unlucky... a lazy 235+/- average PA this season...

Fueys Haze 212.3 Def. Beads Army 185.3
Offensive MVP
3. Joe Burrow (FHZ) 30.3
2. Derek Carr (FHZ) 28.3
1. Patrick Mahomes (FHZ) 28.1

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Taylor Rapp (FHZ) 18.0
2. Cameron Heyward (BEA) 15.0
0.5. Matt Judon (BEA) 14.0
0.5. Jeremy Chinn (BEA) 14.0

fuey got out to an early lead, taking a 70+ point lead into the late games, a lead that would not be relinquished. Carr and Burrow topping their projected on a down week for Mahomes. Bucking Beads ’ Army is a very even team, and if it weren’t for the unusually low impact of Herbert, this one would’ve been a helluva lot closer. Ten of BB’s starters hit double figures vs only seven for the Haze. Fuey edges ahead in the all-time H2H 4-3.

Powerhouse 244.9 Def. Galactic Gobsmackers 209.0
Offensive MVP
3. Dak Prescott (PWH) 35.4
2. Matt Stafford (PWH) 33.4
1. Jalen Hurts (GOB) 27.2

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Darius Leonard (PWH) 20.5
2. Cory Littleton (PWH) 15.0
1. Logan Wilson (GOB) 14.5

This game was neck and neck for most of the early Sunday slate of games, with A11dAtP0w3R outscoring Galactic 81-44 from the late game onwards. Dak and Ab were the stars, beating their projected by at least 10pts, while Leonard, Landry and Littleton were big defensively. While not affecting the result, not subbing Chubb out for Damien Harris could potentially hamper playoff aspirations if it comes down to PF.

Arakaans Assassins 210.0 Lst. Pistols Dolphins 271.5
Offensive MVP
3. Kirk Cousins (PIS) 38.7
2. Derrick Henry (PIS) 38.6
1. Jaylen Waddle (PIS) 29.6

Defensive/ST MVP
3. TJ Watt (ARA) 32.5
2. Anthony Walker (PIS) 10.5
1. Kenny Moore (ARA) 10.0

The Dolphins finally came back to form, just in time to keep in touch with division leaders, 6/9 offensive starters hitting 24pts or higher (only one for arakaan was able to do the same. King Henry and (Vi)queen Cousins again the prominent figures for the Dolphins. Arakaan has to feel unlucky, PistolPete s avg PF against the Assassins is a shade under 250 since joining in 2018. The rivalry in general is probably one of the league’s best, as only once has either team failed to score 200+ (Arakaan Wk12, 2020, 181.9)

Hedeby Berserkers 222.4 Def. Purple Vandals 172.7
Offensive MVP
3. CeeDee Lamb (HED) 37.1
2. Kyler Murray (HED) 31.6
1. Jonathan Taylor (VAN) 29.8

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Trevon Diggs (HED) 17.0
2. Jonathan Abram (VAN) 14.0
1. Bobby Okereke (HED) 11.5

The Vandals got out to an early lead with Jonathon Taylor and Justin Fields performing well. The Berserkers TNF/early game players struggled (down 25 from projected between McLaurin + Evans), and it seemed as though there was a major upset in the works. A late + Primetime games score of 157-43 erased any hope BeinPurplenGreen had for victory though, as J Shuttlesworth stays atop the Mile High Division.


Constantgin 178.7 Lst. Pandas Broncos 245.2
Offensive MVP
3. Adam Thielen (PAN) 30.8
2. Joe Mixon (CON) 26.3
1. Teddy Bridgewater (PAN) 24.6

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Kyzir White (PAN) 20.5
2. Haason Reddick (PAN) 15.0
1. Greg Zeuerlein (PAN) 13.0

Another frustrating week as Constantgin , 4 zeroes and a couple of key players on bye made for not the best week. Plenty of sunshine through the clouds though, as every offensive player that didn’t score 0 was in double figures. panda2com s team was hot regardless, only four players TOTAL missing a double-digit score. Had 5 more players with 10+ sitting on the pine also, so the boy’s got some depth.


TCols Stars 208.7 Lst. Chevys Chasers 248.9
Offensive MVP
3. Josh Allen (TCS) 38.1
2. Cooper Kupp (CHC) 36.8
1. Leonard Fournette (TCS) 30.7

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Cole Holcombe (CHC) 17.5
2. Matt Prater (CHC) 15.0
0.33. Tae Crowder (CHC) 14.5
0.33. David Long (CHC) 14.5
0.33. Alex Singleton (TCS) 14.5

In another great matchup, 23 of the 34 starters scored at least 10pts. Interestingly, TCol had 3 of the 4 highest scorers. 78.1 of the Chasers points came from players considered backups at the beginning of the season (Collins, Williams, Seals-Jones, Heiniecke and Mills), so we may have to rename Chism s team to Chevys Ambulance Chasers instead.

 

[fuey]

Chevys Chasers 214.6 Lst. Fueys Haze 248.1
Offensive MVP
3. Joe Burrow (FHZ) 38.9
2. Cooper Kupp (CHC) 38.6
1. Tom Brady (CHC) 34.4

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Deion Jones (CHC) 19.0
2. DAvid Long Jr (CHC) 16.0
1. Landon Collins (FHZ) 15.0

When the haze scores 240+ pts, and Mahomes and Hill are their two lowest offensive scorers, you know your luck is done for the week. Sorry Chism!

Galactic Gobsmackers 207.3 Def. Pistols Dolphins 156.5
Offensive MVP
3. Aaron Rodgers (PIS) 33.2
2. Mac Jones (GOB) 29.5
1. Jalen Hurts (GOB) 28.3

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Nick Bolton (PID) 25.5
2. Kenny Young (GOB) 12.5
1. DeForest Buckner (GOB) 11.0

Galactics triumvirate of QBs lead theway again, as the Dolphins have 8 players score five or fewer points. Recipe for disaster against a division opponent.

Arakaans Assassins 227.6 Def. Powerhouse 202.6
Offensive MVP
3. Matt Stafford (PWH) 36.8
2. Alvin Kamara (ARA) 34.9
1. Lamar Jackson (ARA) 26.5

Defensive/ST MVP
3. De’Vondre Cambell (ARA) 18.0
1.5. Roquan Smith (PWH) 15.0
1.5. Yannick Ngakoue (ARA) 15.0

Assassins notch another one, and could be the league’s smokey if this form keeps up. Powerhouse was up there, but couldn’t seal the deal, allowing Arakaan to peg one more win back.


Purple Vandals 174.9 Def ConstantGin 99.6
Offensive MVP
3. Carson Wentz (GIN) 24.0
2. Deebo Samuel (VAN) 22.2
1. Geno Smith (VAN) 17.0

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Marcus Maye (VAN) 20.0
2. Graham Gano (VAN) 15.0
1. Xavien Howard (GIN) 14.0

Boom! Can’t sleep in this league Constantgin. Not fixing a team had led to the 16th lowest score all time. This team (Both STO and Constantgin) is the only team to score less than 100 since 2017.


Pandas Broncos 190.2 Lst. TCols Stars 232.2
Offensive MVP
3. Ja’Marr Chase (TCS) 36.1
2. Tua Tagavailoa (TCS) 35.7
1. Kyle Pitts (PAN) 24.3

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Demario Davis (TCS) 28.0
2. Marlon Humphrey (PAN) 18.0
1. Jason Pierre Paul (TCS) 11.5

As Darnolds bubble has burst, so has that of Pandas Broncos. Tcol could be the opposite, 230+ with Josh Allen and Christian McCaffrey to come back in soon. Ja’Marr Chase is a big plus, and Tagavailoa is hot if he can finish off the season!

Beads Army 128.6 Lst. Hedeby Berserkers 224.7
Offensive MVP
3. Mike Evans (HED) 32.6
2. Kyler Murray (HED) 29.4
1. Terry McLaurin (HED) 27.2

Defensive/ST MVP
3. Shaq Barrett (HED) 15.0
2. Emmanuel Moseley (HED) 14.5
1. Devin White (HED) 12.0

Forgettable week for Beads as key players were on bye, and the depth was certainly tested. J Shuttlesworth went along his merry way, consolidating league favouritism.

 

[Constantgin]

Forgot to check my team so serves me right for the low score

 

[fuey]

Aussie Vikings

RK	Team	W	L	T	PCT	GB	Playoff %
1	Galactic Gobsmackers	5	2	0	.714	--	63
2	Power House	4	3	0	.571	1	36
3	Pistols Dolphins	3	4	0	.429	2	6
4	Arakaan's Assassins	2	5	0	.286	3	9

Galactic and A11dAtP0w3R seem to be locked in a battle for the top spot, the Dolphins seem to be flailing a little, and the arakaan Assassins could potentially be a bolter down the stretch. Divisional matchups done, when they play their tougher inter-divisional games could decide who wins this division.

Mile High Gem

RK	Team	W	L	T	PCT	GB	Playoff %
1	Hedeby Beserkers	6	1	0	.857	--	81
2	Fuey's Haze	5	2	0	.714	1	59
3	Tcol's Stars	4	3	0	.571	2	45
4	Constant Gin	1	6	0	.143	5	0

Wildcard probably comes from this division with the three strong teams. J Shuttlesworth is in the box seat, and high performance through bye weeks is they key to keeping that top spot. Not doing so could open the door for the Haze or Stars, all three teams are locked at 2-1 in intra-division matchups. Whomever ends up in that #2, will be very difficult to beat out for that WC spot. Can the Berserkers claim their first division title??

Geecats07

RK	Team	W	L	T	PCT	GB	Playoff %
1	Chevys Chasers	4	3	0	.571	--	50
2	Panda's Broncos	3	4	0	.429	1	31
3	Purple Vandals	3	4	0	.429	1	15
4	Beads Army	2	5	0	.286	2	6

Chism got out to an early lead, but this one is anyone's right now, but the Chasers 3-0 against division foes so far gives him the slightest of edges. Traditionally a tough division (no current team has won the division more than twice), navigating the remaining bye weeks could make or break one or all of these teams. No pressure guys.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

* off ESPN, I swapped Rush in for Prescott. I did it in Jailhouse at the same time, yet in BETA it didn't save for some reason, what a load s**t

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

projected to lose by 1.4 points with Prescott starting, fml.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

if I lose , a real big * you to ESPN.

 

[Chism]

 

[fuey]

Fml, jones fumble on the last play may have got me the win!

Here watching with TCol too... one of us is not happy.

 

[Constantgin]

Looks like i got my 2nd win. Funny what making sure your team is set can do. Still missed on ridley didnt figure on the mental health break.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

* espn.

Im glad it was in this league however and not jailhouse if given the choice of ESPN ******* me out of one of the two.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Down to 1 QB and with some player choices not going my way this week it's not looking great going forward.

Oh yeah, you're in a world of pain if Murray doesn't play... though I can't decide if it's a good or bad thing that it's a week you play TCol
