Coach Ron Yeany went against the experts when setting his lineup this week, and that boldness resulted in a loss at the hands of Philadelphia Griffins. That plus a very lucky win for Philadelphia Griffins in this week’s report.
Keenan Allen (24 points) leads Miami Muffdivers to a win over Happy Valley Violence
Miami Muffdivers had the good fortune of having the league’s best player this week in Keenan Allen.1 Miami Muffdivers slid by Happy Valley Violence, winning 89 to 83.5 behind 24 points from Allen. He racked up 111 receiving yards on Sunday, 42 of which came from hauling in this huge pass.
Miami Muffdivers also got a better-than-expected performance from Chris Boswell, who beat his projections by 6.1 points.
Meanwhile, Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak can look to Calvin Ridley and Alexander Mattison when passing out blame for the loss. The two combined to score only 2.5 points. Ridley fell farther short of his expected points than any other player this week.
Happy Valley Violence did get a couple of good, but ultimately futile, efforts from Brian Robinson Jr. and Daniel Jones, who came up with a total of 47 points. Quite an improvement for Danny Dimes, who last week scored no points.
The win brings Miami Muffdivers’ record to 2 – 0, while dropping Happy Valley Violence to 0 – 2.
Tyler Lockett’s 18 points were too much for Chicago Mud
‘The thrill is gone’–at least when it comes to Chicago Mud’s recent games. After last week’s blowout, he was involved in another no-doubter this week (but lost this time). Chicago Mud suffered a huge loss to Orange Co. Beach Dudes, going down 106 to 72.5. The game evens up both teams’ records at 1 – 1.
When Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler entertained thoughts of winning this game, they probably didn’t include the two players that ended up leading the way. D’Andre Swift scored 23.5 points, and Nico Collins was close behind with 20.5. Swift, a Philly native, had a career-day in his first home game with the Eagles, posting a career-high 175 rushing yards and plenty of highlight-worthy plays.
Orange Co. Beach Dudes also got the benefit of a 18 point performance from Tyler Lockett. The only real bad apple in Orange Co. Beach Dudes’ orchard this week was Trevor Lawrence, who scored 3 points. Lawrence failed to score a touchdown on Sunday, but he doesn’t own all the blame: receivers simply failed to get both feet in on multiple occasions.
Meanwhile, there were plenty of chefs cooking up this week’s loss for Chicago Mud. Miles Sanders was the worst of a four man group of underperformers, racking up only 3.5 points.2
Bijan Robinson helps Philadelphia Griffins to a lucky win
Philadelphia Griffins were able to grind out a solid victory this week against Connecticut Wildcats, winning by a score of 57.5 to 45.5. Big time luck for Philadelphia Griffins in this contest, as they would have lost against all but one other team. The win brings Philadelphia Griffins’ record to 2 – 0, while dropping Connecticut Wildcats to 0 – 2.
Philadelphia Griffins were a picture of symmetry, winning with a very balanced lineup. Bijan Robinson paced the team by beating the average running back by 5.2 points, while Brandon Aiyuk (4.9 points worse than the average wide receiver) was the worst on the team.
Meanwhile, Coach Ron Yeany can blame the loss on Breece Hall, Rashee Rice, and Kendrick Bourne, who together managed only 3 points. Hall scored zero points, which were the fewest of any running back this week. He was flattened on the Jets’ first play and things only got worse from there: he only rushed four times for nine yards and failed to catch both of his targets.
Coach Yeany has to be kicking himself for his lineup decisions this week. He left Drake London and Jared Goff on the bench in favor of Rashee Rice and Justin Herbert, who were both expected to score less.
These terrible decisions cost Connecticut Wildcats a total of 13 points, which cost them the game. This makes it back-to-back weeks where Coach Yeany has cost his team points.
Kirk Cousins drops 26 points in leading Mercer Mustangs to victory
Mercer Mustangs didn’t have too much trouble with Keystone Longfellows this week, winning 84.5 to 68. The game leaves both teams squared up at one win and one loss.
Kirk Cousins was the clear leader on Mercer Mustangs this week, scoring 26 points. Captain Kirk topped all quarterbacks this week with that performance. Incredibly, throwing for 366 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions still wasn’t enough for him and the Vikings to walk away victorious.
Coach Jim Waugh also helped out his own cause by going against the experts and starting Jake Ferguson, who scored 7.5 points.
Meanwhile, Keystone Longfellows had plenty of duds in the loss. They were brought down by four underperformers, the worst of whom was Jamaal Williams (1 point). Another underperformer, kicker Jason Sanders, was the worst at his position this week.
Raheem Mostert helps Frelinghuysen Froglickers cruise to victory
Coach David Zilberfarb looked like they were trying to give away this game with their lineup decisions, but the team just wouldn’t quit. Frelinghuysen Froglickers made it look easy against Big Oregon Bang, winning 80.5 to 46. That 35 point margin was the biggest gap between any two teams this week.
Both teams now sit at one win and one loss for the season.
Two of the key players in this fight were real-life teammates, as Frelinghuysen Froglickers’ Raheem Mostert squared off against Tua Tagovailoa. While they were on the same team, they sure didn’t deliver the same result. For Raheem Mostert’s part, he tallied 22.5 points for Frelinghuysen Froglickers. Nobody could come close to catching Mostert on this huge 43-yard rushing TD.
On the other hand, Tua Tagovailoa was not living up to his star status, totaling only 7 points. This huge 4th-down pass from Tagovailoa would’ve put the Dolphins in the red zone, but unfortunately the deep shot was picked off.
The rest of Coach Zilberfarb’s lineup followed Mostert’s lead, scoring 58 more points. That group was led by Justin Jefferson, who scored 16.5 points.
19 points from Saquon Barkley helps give Boxboro Blowfish the win
Boxboro Blowfish came into the game as the biggest favorite this week and proceeded to make the experts look good. They got the job done against New Chester Thorobreds, winning 81.5 to 68. The win brings Boxboro Blowfish’s record to 1 – 0 – 1, while dropping New Chester Thorobreds to 0 – 2.
Three players (Saquon Barkley, Gabe Davis, and Jalen Hurts) delivered victory to Boxboro Blowfish, getting 53 of their team’s 81.5 points. Barkley left Sunday’s game early with an ankle injury (the team is cautiously optimistic), but his impact had already been made: he posted 92 total yards plus a rushing and receiving touchdown. Boxboro Blowfish won despite bad games from Dameon Pierce, DeAndre Hopkins, and Chris Godwin, who together tallied 9.5 points.
Meanwhile, New Chester Thorobreds really lost this game as a team. They had four underperformers, with Khalil Herbert (2.5 points) being the worst. Another underperformer, tight end Pat Freiermuth, was the worst at his position this week.
