WatchBlog here. The CFFFL playoffs are finally here. 2 wild card teams advance this weekend, and 2 go home. Not much doubt who is going where at this point. Let's get to it.
In a move that largely went unnoticed last week, the 47ers re-acquired QB Eli Manning, the trade piece that brought RGIII to their team, and allowed them to sneak into the playoffs. With both QBs on their roster, Jerry "Well, maybe now I can defend my Consolation Champion Crown" Cook had a decision to make - play the rookie phenom from WAS, or the NFL Super Bowl veteran from NYG. Needless to say with a coach rating of 79.66% for the year, he was gonna make the wrong decision about 20.44% of the time. This was 1 of those times. Manning scored about 11 more points than RGIII, and in a game the 47ers lost by 8, it was the difference between winning and possibly getting a t-shirt with the exact same slogan as last year. The Quail Hunters left a lot of points on their bench as well, but as they had finished the regular season ranked 9th in coaching decisions, this wasn't really a surprise. Only a nice draft has saved them from their coach who leaves the second most points on her bench each week - second only to the Hottez, who didn't even have a coach. Amanda "check out the wins and championship title - you can keep your precious points" Cook will advance to the 2nd round, and face off against Honey Badger - another team with a low coach rating. But in this year's CFFFL, coach rating has meant almost nothing. The 5 worst coached teams produced 4 playoff teams, while the 5 best coached teams produced only 2. I guess it is all about the draft after all.
More on the second game when it is final. WatchBlog out.
