Here is the info from Nick B:
You are cordially invited to our 23rd Annual Holiday Party this THURSDAY, DEC. 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at our usual location, the fellowship hall of the Church of Spiritual Enlightenment, 222 N. Washington St. (Rt. 29), right next to the State Theater and a half-block from the intersection of ZRt. 29 and Rt. 7 in Falls Church (22046 for those using Mapquest).
For those attending it will also be fun to finally get the chance to discuss the possible playoff chances of our local team, the Redskins. It's been quite a few years since we could do that.
That leads us right into this weeks playoff games:
I entered the playoffs at the #4 seed and hosted #5 seed Ike. With the return of Darren McFadden to my starting lineup, this was scheduled to be yet another high scoring, close game for me. DMC led off with 11 points on Thursday and that lead lasted all of one play on Sunday. Ike got a 20 points, 80 yard touchdown run by Jamaal Charles right away Sunday afternoon and he took a lead that he would never relent. Charles ended up with a game high 28 points, Brandon Marshall and Tony Romo added 16 each, Arian Foster added 12 and Pierre Garcon stepped in for an injured Jordy Nelson with 11. On my side of the ledger, it was sink or swim with my Redskins duo and early on it looked as though RGIII and Alf would combine for 50 points. Even with getting injured late, RGIII still had 19 points, Alf finished with 16 and I got a huge boost from the Browns D (save for that pesky 20 point run against them) with 15 points. All season I struggled with finding a consistent wide receiver, but I had been guessing well of late, this week I missed dearly. I started Torrey Smith and Lance Moore who put up a whopping 2 total points, while my two bench receivers, Mike Wallace and Danario Alexander combined for a potential game winning 36 points. Oops. Ike moves on to face undefeated, #1 seed Nate.
Final Score: Myra's College Fund 99 Escaped Lunatics 74
On the other side of the bracket, #3 seed Matt went to battle against #6 seed Adam. Just like in Ike's victory, this game was decided after one long run. Adam got the early jump on Thursday with 20 big points from Knowshown Moreno who had his first relevant fantasy game in years. On Sunday, the lead grew behind Cam Newton who has suddenly become a fantasy MVP. He scored a whopping 49 points with 19 coming on a 72 yard touchdown run which basically put this game out of reach. DeMarco Murray added 12 points and the Matt was in need of a minor miracle to get back into it. He got a great second half from Matt Ryan who was 'ice' cold to start. He finished with 24 points and Ray Rice added 19 to make the deficit look a bit less lopsided. After Greg Jennings produced just a single point Sunday night, the game was all but wrapped up. Even a 13 point effort from Stevan Ridley wasn't enough to make this game any more exciting. On a side note, not that it was needed, but Adam also had David Wilson on his bench who had a career game with 34 points. Adam moves on to face #2 seed Joel.
Final Score: Biggums' 'Basers 99 Rainbows & Puppies 76
Moving down a wrung on the ladder into the Purgatory Bowl bracket:
Jody eked out a 1 point victory over Nick G in a game that saw both TE's and Defenses score 0 points while both QB's scored 18 points each. Each team also had an 8 point scoring RB and a 7 point scoring WR. Yeah it couldn't of been much closer.
Final Score: DoggNutz 50 Lollipop Kids 49
The other side saw Luke battle through his injuries to defeat Ben behind 26 points from Colin Kaepernick who scored 17 of those on a late 50 yard touchdown run. He also got 18 from rookie standout Doug Martin while Ben saw Matt Stafford score 20 points in snowy Green Bay.
Final Score: Deathtongue 71 Magic Wands 57
Falling of the ladder completely and heading to the bowels of the league this year, we now check in on the results of the Toilet Bowl semifinals.
It doesn't happen usually, but this week Alex scored the most points in the league from the Toilet Bowl. He wanted no part of the dubious distinction of the worst team of the season as he unloaded his frustrations on John. His two Seahawks, Marshawn Lynch and the Defense put up a whopping 62 points against the hapless Cardinals. This was more than enough to defeat John who got 13 from Roddy White to lead the way for him.
Final Score: The Worthless Peons 106 The Situation 51
Nick B had a good showing even though he lost Fred Jackson to injury again. Eli Manning scored 26 and Darren Sproles added 18 to give Nick B a cushion against Mike, but Tom Brady erased that on Monday night quickly. Brady threw 4 TD's and scored 34 points to keep Mike from worst team status. He also got 14 each from VJax and Matt Prater.
Final Score: Bookoo Barbarians 85 The Knacks 70
