Playoffs Round 1 - Monday in Review

WatchBlog here.  Wild card week is done.  Divisional Round is next.  Let's get to it.

The Cow Pokes finished dead last in the CFFFL in 2011.  After a controversial 2012 Pokes draft heavy in QBs and very light in RBs, no one expected them to do any better than that this year.  However, the acquisition of free agent C.J. Spiller, and about 37 other roster moves were just enough to not only get them out of last place, but actually to launch them into the playoffs.  Unfortunately for Norman "I'll be putting in waiver claims over the off-season, you can bet on it" Cook, his first ever playoff matchup was against the streaking Left Fielders who have scored at least 90 points in every game for 7 weeks straight.  (Not saying it would have mattered as the Pokes were the lowest scoring wild card playoff team, so any matchup would have led to the same result.)  With the win, the Fielders now advance to the Divisional Round, and have the tough task of knocking out the dominant Sugar Gliders, who put up a record setting 145 points in their BYE week, and passed the 143 point mark set earlier in the season by Easily Offensive.  The matchup appears to be between the 2 hottest teams in the league, and some argue is the true CFFFL Championship game, as whoever wins this, will be the favorite to win it all.  Cindy "I'd just be happy with an all girl Championship - unless of course, neither of those girls is me" Cook will have to come with her "A" game in order to win, as the Fielders and Gliders are the 2 highest scoring teams in the league overall, and especially in the past 7 weeks.  The potential loss of Dez Bryant to injury might actually help the Fielders, as Danario Alexander might get the start, and has been lighting it up in recent weeks.  The Gliders just hope that they saved some points for when it counts.  May the best woman win.
