Coach Ron Yeany went against the experts when setting his lineup this week, and that boldness resulted in a loss at the hands of New Chester Thorobreds. Meanwhile, Chicago Mud beat Frelinghuysen Froglickers within an inch of their lives as part of this week’s exciting action.

Yep, That’s It

Trey Lance nets zero points in loss to Happy Valley Violence

Happy Valley Violence didn’t have too much trouble with Philadelphia Griffins this week, winning 51 to 30. Happy Valley Violence won despite having the 4th lowest scoring total in the league this week.

The win brings Happy Valley Violence back to even at 1 – 1. The loss drops Philadelphia Griffins’ record to 0 – 2.

Happy Valley Violence were led by the tag team of Daniel Carlson and Allen Robinson, who together notched 24 points. Carlson scored 14 points, which topped all but one kicker this week. His impressive 55 yard field goal was his 27th in a row, currently the longest streak in the NFL.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia Griffins had many underperformers, but Trey Lance stood out, posting zero points. That made Lance the worst starter this week. His season is over after he suffered a broken ankle requiring surgery in Sunday’s game.

Coach Nicholas Fisher seems to have forgotten to set his lineup this week. He left Michael Pittmanin the game, despite the fact that he was a guaranteed zero points. That cost his team 10.5 points, which ultimately didn’t matter much this game.

Bring the Pain

Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 29.5 points sinks Mercer Mustangs

‘The thrill is gone’–at least when it comes to Mercer Mustangs’ recent games. After last week’s blowout, he was involved in another no-doubter this week (and lost again). Mercer Mustangs got clobbered by Boxboro Blowfish, losing 97.5 to 64.5. The loss drops Mercer Mustangs’ record to 0 – 2, while the win brings Boxboro Blowfish to 1 – 0 – 1.

Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jalen Hurts were the key contributors for Boxboro Blowfish, producing 29.5 and 28 points, respectively. Hurts’ 28 points were good for 3rd place among all quarterbacks this week. He managed to combine passing and rushing excellence in a way no quarterback had ever done before.

Meanwhile, this week’s loss for Mercer Mustangs was a true group effort. They were brought down by five underperformers, the worst of whom was Tom Brady (5 points).¹

Next week will see Mercer Mustangs taking on the 1 – 1 Happy Valley Violence. The matchup will feature the two top TE’s in the league, as Mark Andrews meets up with Travis Kelce. Meanwhile, Boxboro Blowfish will square off against Dallas Armadillos next week in a battle between two undefeated teams.

Predict This!

Tua Tagovailoa and Chicago Mud flip the script against Frelinghuysen Froglickers this week

This was expected to be a blowout and it was. The surprise was who blew out who.  Chicago Mud perfectly destroyed Frelinghuysen Froglickers, winning 109 to 49. The 109 points Chicago Mud scored set the high mark for the league this week.

The win brings Chicago Mud’s record to 1 – 1, while dropping Frelinghuysen Froglickers to 1 – 1.

Tua Tagovailoa was expected to be the worst performing QB this week, but apparently that was just fuel for the fire. Tagovailoa joined up with fellow Dolphin  Tyreek Hill to score 68% of Chicago Mud’s points. Tagovailoa threw six touchdowns and completed 36 passes for 469 yards, all three statistics setting career highs.

Meanwhile, the loss for Frelinghuysen Froglickers came down to a pretty simple factor: they didn’t go anywhere. Collectively, they only managed to gain 279 yards rushing and receiving. That was the lowest yards gained total of any team this week.

Chicago Mud will face off against Orange Co. Beach Dudes next week. That team will limp into the contest having posted only 41 points this week. Meanwhile, Frelinghuysen Froglickers will collide with Miami Muffdivers. Miami Muffdivers will bring the league’s top player so far, Stefon Diggs, into the game.

Just Get Out of the Way

Lamar Jackson helps give Big Oregon Bang an easy win this week

This game was expected to be close. Big Oregon Bang found those expectations insulting. They gave Miami Muffdivers a 107.5 to 81 drubbing. The game evens up both teams’ records at 1 – 1.

Big Oregon Bang had two main stars in Lamar Jackson and Nick Chubb, who together put up 61.5 points. Chubb’s 26.5 point performance was the best of any running back this week. He rushed 17 times for 87 yards and caught all three of his targets.

Big Oregon Bang also got a better-than-expected performance from Mike Williams, who beat his projections by 10.9 points.

Over in the loser’s circle, Miami Muffdivers got a big game from Stefon Diggs. Diggsy scored 35 points, which topped all but one player this week. Unfortunately for Miami Muffdivers, he was the only player on the whole team that had a legit good performance.

Coach Pat landy can blame the loss on Chase Claypool, Joe Burrow, and Tyler Boyd, who together managed only 13 points.

Follow the Leader

Cooper Kupp helps deliver a win for New Chester Thorobreds

Coach Ron Yeany has to be kicking himself for his lineup decisions this week. Perhaps scared off by Amari Cooper’s 2 point performance last week, Coach Yeany left him on the bench in favor of Kenyan Drake, despite the experts’ prediction that Cooper should have played. 

This decision cost Connecticut Wildcats a total of 17.5 points and cost them the game, as they just didn’t have enough against New Chester Thorobreds (2 – 0), losing 92.5 to 88.5.

New Chester Thorobreds got a nice group performance in the win, as four players beat their positional averages.  Cooper Kupp was just a bit ahead of the others, recording 23.5 points. Kupp earned 108 yards on Sunday, making it his (record setting) 15th game in a row earning more than 90 yards.

Meanwhile, Kenyan Drake loomed large in the loss for Connecticut Wildcats, scoring zero points. Drake might be heading back to the waiver wire after getting picked up before this game.

Leave it to Me

Kyler Murray takes control of the game as Keystone Longfellows wins

Keystone Longfellows were able to grind out a solid victory this week against Orange Co. Beach Dudes, winning by a score of 54 to 41. The win brings Keystone Longfellows’ record to 1 – 0 – 1, while dropping Orange Co. Beach Dudes to 1 – 1.

The rest of Coach Terry Muth’s team were basically spectating, as Kyler Murray, Evan McPherson, and Christian McCaffrey combined for 76% of Keystone Longfellows’ points. Murray’s incredible 20 second backfield scramble somehow resulted in a successful two-point conversion.

Meanwhile, Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler can look to D.J. Chark and Russell Wilson when passing out blame for the loss. The two combined to score only 6 points. Wilson was booed by fans after a slow start on Sunday, completing just six of his first 20 throws.

These teams will see a difference in the quality of their upcoming opponents. Next week, Keystone Longfellows will be playing Philadelphia Griffins. Philadelphia Griffins have scored the fewest points so far this year.

Meanwhile, Orange Co. Beach Dudes will take on Chicago Mud. Coach Ronnie Feldman’s team just had a huge week, having posted 109 points.
