matters.)
WatchBlog here again. Week 11 is
complete. One new team has clinched a playoff spot, the 3 remaining
spots are still in doubt. Let’s get to it.
Up and Down
The
Lions losing streak extended to 4 straight, which was inevitable at
kickoff since Matthew “I’m too busy jamming to Paco Estrada to make a
lineup change” Johnson left QB Andy Dalton and K Nick Folk on the bench
even though his first stringers were both on BYEs. This white flag toss
by Johnson enabled Amanda “I’m winning games with Joe Flacco as QB, I
must be good” Cook and her Quail Hunters to win their 2nd in a row, and
rise to the best record and top playoff seed in the CFFFL. Not only are
the Hunters 1st in their division, and 1st in record, and 1st in
points, and 1st in the CFFFL playoff seeding, they are 1st in
WatchBlog’s Power Ranking with a perfect score of 30. If there was any
doubt before, there is none now that the Hunters are the team to beat.
All Hail the Chief
The
Commish officially got his team into the playoffs in week 11 when he
held off the Leftovers on Monday night. The win for Gary “If I didn’t
make the playoffs, I’d have shut the whole league down” Cook’s Cousins
also means they are still in the race for the division lead with the
Quail Hunters, who have 2 of the highest scoring teams left on their
schedule. It won’t be easy as the Cousins would have to make up 2
games, and outscore the Hunters by 160 points in the last 2 weeks to win
the division, so, WatchBlog isn’t holding his breath. Cindy “Sure, we
should all be working, but what fun is that?” Cook’s Leftovers could not
pull off the Monday night come from behind win, and are still
vulnerable to getting knocked out of the playoffs, but then again, they
are also in position to win their division if they can catch the Puppies
and not give up a 47 point lead in overall points to them. They will
have a tough matchup next week as they play the top ranked Hunters in
week 12's game of the week.
Smokin’ Hottez
Beware
playas, a CFFFL team of Hottez is smokin’ you any time they get a
chance. WatchBlog can only assume this means they are winning CFFFL
games, and at 5-6, the Hottez have now won their way into the final
CFFFL playoff spot. The smokin’ might become more difficult for the
Hottez after number 1 RB Adrian Peterson was lost to an ankle injury
early on Sunday. The most recent playas to get smoked played for Stacy
“I’m not Amish, especially if Amish means having RB’s who aren’t
injured” Cook’s Puppies. In what looks to be a display of Pilgrim
generosity, the Puppies opted to not substitute WR Mike Williams for the
injured RB LaDainian Tomlinson, and played with only 7 playas in week
11. No idea if the Hottez shared some maize in return for the
generosity, but the end result was a 3rd loss for the Puppies in their
last 5 games.

Issue 21 - 2011
(WatchBlog McGee is a fictionalized blogger but reports on actual,
flesh and bone, real-life fantasy football leagues. This year, he is

matters.)
WatchBlog here again. 2 games are in the books, 3 others are still up in the air. Let’s get to it.
Oh yes they call him the streak
The 47ers came into week 11 on a 3 game losing streak, while the Badger came in on a 3 game winning streak. The whole CFFFL was all a flutter wondering if the Badger would streak into the playoffs, and the 47ers would crater into the consolation round. But then the Badger did what a Badger does best, and in true “Honey Badger don’t care” style, once again fielded an incomplete lineup. The 47ers didn’t need Badger indifference however, and finally outplayed their opponent for the first time in a month. The 47ers now move into one spot behind either the Leftovers or Cousins, with 2 games left, and control their own playoff destiny. Jerry “If I got 2 points for an onside kick, I could have lost by 2 less points” Cook must play the Hottez and Cousins in the next 2 weeks, 2 teams also fighting to play for the hallowed CFFFL Championship trophy... uh, cup... uh, certificate?
Offensive coaching
Some in the league were questioning WatchBlog’s coach rankings, specifically why Easily Offensive’s coach was ranked so high. Even WatchBlog is questioning that today, as the Offensives put up 127 points in week 11, unfortunately, none of them counted since they were sitting on the Offensive Bench. As a result, the 76 points that did count were not nearly enough to beat the newest hot team in the CFFFL, the PlowBoys. Norman “My Team Win and Lose, but mostly win from here on out” Cook’s team has now scored over 100 points 2 weeks and a row, and will next week take on a division leading Puppies, who haven’t scored over 100 points since week 9.
Comeback Monday
Of the 3 CFFFL games remaining, WatchBlog doesn’t think any of the leaders should celebrate too soon going into the Monday night game. While the Puppies are the least likely to make a full comeback, they do have QB Tom Brady and WR Dwayne Bowe playing for them, and each are going up against bad defenses. As for the Cousins and Lions, neither has a lead that is likely to hold up given the remaining players for the other team, but as we’ve seen in the CFFFL, nothing is a sure thing.
