Week 12 in Review

WatchBlog here. Well, here it is. The final regular season game in the CFFFL is upon us. 4 teams are in, 4 more are fighting for the last playoff spots. Should be an intense last week. Let's get to it.

Week 12

Some teams showed up big in week 12, while others laid an egg. After the dust settled, the CFFFL playoff picture cleared up quite a bit, but there are still 3 Division crowns up for grabs, and 4 teams who are in, but don't know their playoff seeding, and 4 teams that won't even know if they are in or not until week 13 action is complete.

The team that showed up the biggest was NFL-NIP(NotInPrison) who put up the biggest single game point total for the league this season in an important game that pulled Cindy "I've been saving the best for last" Cook into a tie for the division lead in the CFFFL North. It was unfortunate for the Draft King, as they put up an impressive 125 points to give Jerry "I outscored Motherboy by 6 and Yahoo! give's him an A and gives me a B? Maybe I should stop caring what grade Yahoo! gives me..." Cook the second best score of the week, but nothing but a loss to show for it. Both teams need a win in week 13 to win their division, but unfortunately for them, none of those big point totals can be carried over.

Speaking of Motherboy, Gary "this is for all the Garys out there - well, except you..."  showed up big as well, defeating Gary's Team and eliminating Gary "If I had to be taken out, I'm glad it was by a Gary" St. John from any playoff hopes. St. John also was eliminated from any chance of winning the CFFFL South when Josh "I won my division before anyone else won theirs! - so... there's that..." Cook's Juggernauts knocked off Coconutycrazy and delayed Cosette "you said I'm definitely going to win my division - NOW you're telling me I might NOT?!" Cook's inevitable division crown one more week. While it is possible it won't happen, a win against the lowly Gamers in week 13 is all that is left to hoist that division banner. (No - there's no actual banner - it's just a saying...)

Speaking of The Gamers, they laid the biggest of eggs in week 12 by only scoring 48 points, and losing to Normans Playboy Team, who STILL CAN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. Durlon "I don't deserve a nickname this week" Bryant kept the dreams alive of Norman "remember when you all scratched your heads when I drafted Tim Hightower - who's scratching their heads now?" Cook who needs a win and a loss by Coconutycrazy to win the West and sneak into the CFFFL playoffs. It may be unlikely, but so were every one of the Playboys' 5 wins this year.

The other playoff bubble teams are the Russian Hackers and The Cloudy Navigator. They are the last 2 teams with a shot at the last remaining Wild Card Playoff spot and both won in week 12, meaning the answer of which team gets in won't be answered until week 13 is in the books. The Hackers and David "I created this league this year just so I could win it. If I don't make the top 6 - maybe we'll have 7 playoff teams this year. That sounds fair..." eliminated Max 20 Characters and John "If half my team is on another team's playoff roster - I sort of made the playoffs, too - right?" Cook by 44 points in the biggest blowout of the week. Meanwhile Asher "I've made 45 roster moves, and I'm just getting warmed up..." Cook took down the number 1 team in the CFFFL to remain in the Wild Card playoff hunt. No Punt Intended fell victim to the Navigator's final push for the playoffs, but Amanda "I'm still in 1st place - so, wake me up when the playoffs start" Cook only needs a week 13 win against Max 20 Characters to secure the No. 1 seed overall and a 1st round BYE.
