FCNPFFL: Week 11 Results

With only two weeks remaining, teams have clinched a playoff spot while other have been eliminated. That is to be expected. It doesn't change the excitement of the final playoff push, though. There are still seeding issues to hash out and it appears a big battle for the last playoff spot as always. As a reminder, Nate backed in to the playoffs last year after losing in Week 13 when there was not one, but TWO ties that allowed him to keep the 6th spot and he wound up playing in the Super Bowl.

You have to be in it, to win it.

HOORAY FOR FINAL BYE WEEK!!!!

BYE WEEKS FOR WEEK 12: PITTSBURGH and CAROLINA

Waivers will be ran late Wednesday night as is the norm.

Onto the games:

I looked to run my winning streak to 8 against Nick G who had won once since the opening week of the season. On paper it appeared a mismatch and in reality it was just that. I was led by Jay Cutler who posted 28, the Cardinals D with 16, Alfred Blue with 15 and Jordy Nelson with 13. Nick G got 15 from Kaepernick in the loss.

Final Score: Escaped Lunatics 85 Lollipop Kids 38

The other Jason/Ike needed a win to keep pace before our big Week 12 battle, but he was up against a desperate Luke who was just trying to stay in the playoff hunt. At 6-4 Luke was currently on the outside looking in and although he got a decent performance with 16 from Brees, 15 from Jeremy Hill and 11 from Alf, he was no match this week. With 32 from Aaron Rodgers and 31 from Mike Evans, MCF rolled to their 8th win of the season. Emanuel Sanders scored 12 before leaving with a nasty hit to the head/shoulders as well.

Final Score: Myra's College Fund 95 Deathtongue 62

At 5-5, Alex was also in dire need of a win to keep his fledgling playoff hopes alive. He went up against John who still had his eyes on a division crown and this was a classic game. John got 16 from a terrible RGIII, 13 from the Dolphins D and 12 from Maclin, but lost Ahmad Bradshaw for the season with a broken leg/ankle, just as he was getting healthier with the return of Ryan Mathews who scored 7. Alex got 19 from Mark Sanchez, 14 from AJ Green, 12 from Marshawn Lynch and 11 from the Bears D to help offset starting an injured Reggie Bush. He still trailed by 2 points with just Justin Hunter left to play on MNF. Hunter hauled in 48 yards receiving for 3 points and a Peons victory.

Final Score: The Worthless Peons 61 The Situation 60

As hot as I have been in my division, the case could be made that Mike has been even more ablaze in the Critter Corner Division. He was looking to run his win streak to six games against Nate. Nate had as many players score in double figures (1) as he did score negative (1). That's not good. Not that it would have mattered because Mike crushed it this week, leading the league in scoring and more than doubling Nate's score. Getting 26 from Jamaal Charles and 23 from Andrew Luck is to be expected, but 43!!!??!!! from Jonas Gray was just icing on the cake. That's 92 points from those 3 players which would have been good enough for second best scoring total of the week alone. Mike stays a game back of me for #1 overall seed and keeps the pressure on Joel to stay one game back in their division.

Final Score: Bookoo Barbarians 118 The Bounchers 55

Joel took on Jody who (along with Megan who did most of the work) welcomed daughter #2 into the world on Sunday!!!! Congrats to the Fellows family!!! As for the game, Joel didn't ease up on Jody as he rolled through him behind 18 from Brandon Marshall, 14 from Matt Forte, 13 from Philip Rivers and 12 from Antonio Brown. Jody got 13 from Big Ben, 11 each from Roddy White and Phil Dawson and a beautiful baby daughter so he still wins.

Final Score: Nikachu 76 DoggNutz 45

At 6-4 Ben was currently in the playoffs, but he still needed to win to keep it that way. He battled Matt who has been struggling this season. Ben added another Bronco to his roster and then Denver went out and played terribly. Peyton had 21, but Julius Thomas was lost to injury while new addition CJ Anderson mustered just 7 points. Matt took advantage with 17 from Matty Ice and 15 from Alshon Jeffery to win this low scoring affair.

Final Score: Rainbows & Puppies 51 The Magic Wands 44

In our last game of the week, Adam squeaked by injury riddled Nick B. Cam Newton put up 23, Eddie Lacy posted 21 and Jordan Matthews hauled in 13 for the 'Basers. Nick, down two players and getting a 0 from a third in Garcon made a valiant effort on Monday night as he started down 32 points with just Le'Veon Bell left to play. Bell ran roughshod over the Titans and scored 27 points, but Nick B fell just short.

Final Score: Biggums' 'Basers 73 The Knacks 68
