WatchBlog here. Realistically all games are decided, but WatchBlog will just go with 2 games for now. Let's get to it.
How the mighty have fallen
4 weeks ago MotherBoy was in a tie for 1st in the 3CBC division, and had just been declared the best CFFFL team by WatchBlog through the first half of the season. Fast forward to week 11, and MotherBoy hasn't won a single game since. The Honey Badger, who was the other team tied with MotherBoy in week 7, has some how managed to win 2 of his 4 games played since, and, as a result, now holds a 2 game lead, with 2 weeks to play. Based on head to head wins, the Badger has officially clinched the 3CBC division, and a 1st round playoff BYE. No, WatchBlog is just as astonished by this news as you are. Gary "I tried to tell him there were consequences for apathy - but apparently I was wrong" Cook's team is now mired in a 4 game losing streak, and is in jeopardy of missing the playoffs altogether if he can't turn it around. Andrew "Why mess with a good thing? Apathy works" Cook is 1 of only 3 teams in the running for 1st seed in the CFFFL playoffs, but will need to win out to even have a chance. With no more BYE weeks, what's to stop him?
Goliath 2012?
The Sugar Gliders have had no problem entering the CFFFL in their first year, and immediately dominating. Starting out with a 5 game win streak, and then after their 1st loss, picking up with a 4 game win streak, the Gliders appeared to be unbeatable - a giant among men, smashing the poor mortals she faced each week without even breaking a sweat. Shoshana "Sweat? Ooo, if I have to sweat, I'm not interested in doing it" Cook was facing a tough challenge in week 11, as BYEs and injuries had claimed all of her RBs, her best WR, and her DEF. But given all that, she was facing the one-time doormat of the league, so she had to think she still had a chance. David "Do you feel adequately lulled into a false sense of security? Excellent" Cook's Easily Offensive had been pronounced dead after starting the season off 0-6, but with nothing to lose (except 7 more games, and what little was remaining of their pride) the team revamped, and miraculously began a 5 game win streak, culminating with a win over the titan Sugar Gliders' in week 11. The Gliders' did not make it easy as they put out a huge point total despite difficult odds, but in the end it just wasn't enough. Easily Offensive has now pulled even with MotherBoy in record, and with a split in head to head meetings, could actually win a tiebreaker for the last playoff spot by outscoring them by 42 points in the last 2 games. Given that they outscored MotherBoy by at least 56 points in week 11 alone, it's not out of the question.
WatchBlog out.
