Coach Ronnie Feldman cost his team dearly with a key coaching mistake. Meanwhile, Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak crushed it when filing out the lineup card. Meanwhile, Coach Nicholas Fisher was winning by setting a perfect lineup. Read all about it in this week’s report.
Justin Fields was tops on Chicago Mud in the win
Coach Ronnie Feldman definitely did not have the best game personally, but his team managed to rise above his mistakes. Chicago Mud earned a nice victory over Mercer Mustangs, winning 66 to 57. Chicago Mud won despite having their lowest point total for the year.
The win brings Chicago Mud’s record to 3 – 1, while dropping Mercer Mustangs to 2 – 2.
Chicago Mud were led by the trio of Justin Fields, Tyler Bass, and Alvin Kamara, who combined for 72% of their team’s points. Fields scored 24 points, which topped all but one quarterback this week. After only three passing touchdowns over his first three games, he tossed four on Sunday (while setting a new franchise record of 16 straight completions).
Meanwhile, Coach Jim Waugh will have a hard time pinning the blame for this loss on any particular player. Mercer Mustangs were brought down by six underperformers, the worst of whom was Kirk Cousins (6 points).1 It’s hard to say what the lowlight of Captain Kirk’s week was: throwing this 99-yard pick six, or the fact he got blown up when he tried to stop it.
Coach Feldman might have gotten the victory this week, but it wasn’t due to his efforts. He started Mike Evans instead of David Montgomery, despite the experts’ prediction that Montgomery should have played.
This terrible decision cost Chicago Mud a total of 26.5 points, which ultimately didn’t make a difference in the final outcome. It does mark the first time this year that Coach Feldman’s decisions have cost his team points.
Coach Fisher earned a perfect lineup and De’Von Achane gave a big performance
Coach Wayne rupert might have been looking to rest his nerves a bit after last week’s nailbiter. Well, he got the rest, but definitely not the win. Big Oregon Bang (1 – 3) got beat down by Philadelphia Griffins (4 – 0), losing 100 to 68.5. Coach Rupert must be wondering what he did wrong. After losing despite a good score last week, his team lost with the 5th highest point total this week.
The game leaves both these teams streaking in opposite directions. Philadelphia Griffins have now won four games in a row. Another defeat makes it three in a row for Big Oregon Bang.
Coach Nicholas Fisher put De’Von Achane into the lineup for the first time, and he came through. Although Philadelphia Griffins got a nice group performance in the win, Achane was the first among equals, totaling 21.5 points. No surprise there, as he is currently the 3rd best running back in the league. Over half of his 101 rushing yards came from this massive rush in the fourth quarter.
This week’s loss for Big Oregon Bang was a true group effort. They had five underperformers, with Chris Olave (0.5 points) being the worst. Olave was almost silent on Sunday, and his one reception and four receiving yards both qualify as career lows.
Looking at lineup decisions, Coach Fisher wound up with a perfect lineup this week, albeit by following the CBSSports projections to the letter. This is the first time this year that Coach Fisher has pulled that off.
A.J. Brown leaves Keystone Longfellows in the rear view mirror
After knocking Keystone Longfellows out of the playoffs last year, you might expect Dallas Armadillos to give ’em a break this week. Well, they didn’t. Dallas Armadillos crushed Keystone Longfellows, winning 91 to 53. No big surprise seeing Dallas Armadillos get the win, as they were the biggest favorite of any team this week.
The defeat is the 3rd in a row for Keystone Longfellows, which leaves them with a 1 – 3 record. The win brings Dallas Armadillos to 2 – 1.
A.J. Brown was the clear leader on Dallas Armadillos this week, dropping 30.5 points. That was good for 2nd place among all players this week. Defenders just couldn’t figure out how to stop him, who posted two touchdowns on 175 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, Coach Terry Muth will find no easy scapegoat for this week’s loss. Jordan Addison was the worst of a six man group of underperformers on Keystone Longfellows, notching zero points.
Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain was no passive bystander in the victory. They started two players that the experts thought should be riding the pine. One of those picks, Puka Nacua, worked out. The other pick, Javonte Williams, did not.
Overall, these moves gave Dallas Armadillos an extra 13 points, which only added to Dallas Armadillos’ domination. It also made Coaches Paul Gilgallon and Sam McClain the best performing gameday coach this week.
Miami Muffdivers’ running backs flex their muscles
In a week that featured four blowouts, this was the biggest. Miami Muffdivers took everything from New Chester Thorobreds but the kitchen sink this week, winning 103.5 to 53. The 51 point margin that separated these teams represents the biggest blowout of the season so far.
The win makes it three in a row for Miami Muffdivers, which brings their record to 3 – 0. The loss drops New Chester Thorobreds’ record to 1 – 3.
Miami Muffdivers came in with the 2nd best performing running backs. New Chester Thorobreds came in with the 2nd worst. The results were unsurprising. Miami Muffdivers saw Christian McCaffrey carry that group with a 40.5 point effort. That was the most that any player collected this week.
New Chester Thorobreds had two different players in the running back group come up short, none of whom were worse than Tyler Allgeier, who scored only 0.5 points. Unfortunately, more bad performances might be on tap for Allgeier, who has seen his point total drop in each of the last three weeks.
The other players on Miami Muffdivers kept up with the running backs, coming up with 47.5 points. Of that crew, Stefon Diggs led the way with 30 points. This slick, defender-dodging TD catch shows how Diggs racked up 120 receiving yards and 3 TDs on only six receptions.
Nico Collins scores 28.5 points to help put away Happy Valley Violence
Coaches Chris Paret, Jeffrey Ozarski, and John Trzeciak’s gameday decisions have been the best in the league so far this season, and their brilliance was on display again this week. They left Daniel Jones and his 11.6 expected points on the bench, favoring C.J. Stroud (8 points expected).
This great decision boosted Happy Valley Violence’s final score by 10 points, which wasn’t quite enough but they lost a heartbreaker against Orange Co. Beach Dudes (3 – 1), 65 to 63.5.
Nico Collins was probably in Coaches dan callahan and Ross Hessler’s doghouse after last week’s 1 point ‘performance’. He might be let out now. Collins was the key contributor for Orange Co. Beach Dudes, delivering 28.5 points. That performance was the 5th best of any player this week.2 He was on the other end of both of C.J. Stroud’s TD passes on Sunday, with the better of the two being this huge 52-yard score.
Meanwhile, Happy Valley Violence didn’t have anybody who was too hot, or too cold, but this Goldilocks outcome was not ‘just right’. Tony Pollard was the ‘worst’ player, scoring 4.5, while Brian Robinson Jr. was the best on the team with 10.3 Bad performances are pretty common these days for Pollard, who has now underperformed the experts’ predictions in three straight games.
Both teams face trouble in the upcoming schedule. Next week, Happy Valley Violence will take on the 2 – 1 Dallas Armadillos. The game ought to be quite the strategic battle as it will feature the best gameday coaches in the league so far.
Something has to give when Orange Co. Beach Dudes and Miami Muffdivers clash, as they each come into the game on three game winning streaks. Miami Muffdivers will come into the game undefeated.
Derrick Henry has 20.5 points in blowout win over Connecticut Wildcats
The omens did not look good for Connecticut Wildcats coming into the game. They came into the game on a three game losing streak, while Frelinghuysen Froglickers had scored the second most points of any team this season. Both teams lived up (or down) to expectations.
Frelinghuysen Froglickers gave Connecticut Wildcats a 67.5 to 44.5 drubbing. The victory makes it three in a row for Frelinghuysen Froglickers, giving them a record of 3 – 1. The loss drops Connecticut Wildcats’ record to 0 – 4.
Derrick Henry did about as good for Frelinghuysen Froglickers this week as he did bad last week. King Henry joined up with Justin Jefferson to score 60% of Frelinghuysen Froglickers’ points. Henry proved he can do it all on Wednesday: he tossed this passing score, cut through the defense on the ground, and caught his one target.
Meanwhile, it will be difficult for Coach Ron Yeany to fault any one player for the loss. Connecticut Wildcats were brought down by seven underperformers, the worst of whom was Nathaniel Dell (0.5 points).
Although their team won, Coach David Zilberfarb didn’t have the best game personally. They left Jahan Dotson and Lamar Jackson on the bench in favor of Jerick McKinnon and Russell Wilson, who were both expected to score less.
These decisions shaved 15 points from Frelinghuysen Froglickers’ score. Having cost their team 41 points total, Coach Zilberfarb are the worst game-day coach in the league so far this season.
