Wild Card Week (and Toilet Bowl): Flannel, Brawlers advance
Rednecks (#1 seed) and Beavers (#2 seed) have to like what they saw this week as Mimes had the only team on the field that looked like a playoff team.
Urlacher runs away with the PoW award (and defensive PoW) for Brawlers. David Garrard picks up offensive PoW credit in a losing effort for Old No. 7. Goat was tough this week. You could make a good argument for most of the CAPO offensive and a couple coaches could have been nominated if they were eligible. However, I think Romo has to get the nod with -1 pts. He scores his average for the season and Capo move on.
Toilet Bowl honors go to Mason Crosby as PoW and OPoW. Ray Lewis picks up DPoW honors for the Toilet Bowl and completes the award sweep for the victorious Mimes. Not that it would have made a difference in this game, but Toilet Bowl Goat has to be Derek Anderson who scored only 4 pts.
(7-7, 3rd Wild Card) Old No. 7 11 @ (9-5, Right Division Champs) Flannel 20
Flannel started the season off by running away from the pack going 6-0 and then 8-1 before losing their next 4 in a row. They did manage to right the ship the last couple of weeks -- losing a shoot-out against Hamburglers before pummeling Capo to win the division. Old No. 7 went 0-6 against their own Middle Division, but went 7-1 against everyone else (including a 23-4 victory over Flannel in week 12) for an improbably playoff birth.
Old No. 7 needed a big game from Adrian Peterson (the Chicago version) to pull off the upset Monday night. They did not get it. Flannel certainly gave them an opening with no one on the offense stepping it up. The Flannel defense held down the fort lead by Anthony Smith's 12 pts.

(7-6-1, 2nd Wild Card) Brawlers 15 @ (8-6, 1st Wild Card) Capo 3
Both of these teams are where they are due to good late season runs. Capo won 6 of their last 8 games and almost stole the division crown away from Flannel. Brawlers won 4 of their last 5 -- and they needed every last one of those wins to secure a playoff spot in the last week.
Romo, T.O., and Moss combined for 3 pts this week. Capo's sole touchdown came from Ronde Barber. Brawlers contributed to the off game with two guys who missed the team bus. But Urlacher exploded Monday night for 23 and carried Brawlers on his back to the next round.

(4-10) Mimes 40 @ (4-7-3) Malleus 0
Quite a week for Malleus who go from having the slimmest of playoff hopes to here. Malleus did improve their record from last year's incarnation as the Lightning, but not enough to escape the Toilet Bowl. Mimes' season went south during a 5 game losing streak that started in week 6 and didn't end until they had a guaranteed losing record with 4 games to go.
Malleus turned in their worst game of the season and Mimes have far and away out scored all the teams participating in the actual playoffs. Perhaps we should advance Mimes to the next round?
