Week 5 Recap

Yet another week of mixed results, going 3 for 6 again this week. Through 5 weeks, the Left is still a scrum at the top, while the Middle and Right are starting to separate.

Iron City Lagers 35 - Bill's Team 28

I was correct in guessing that Calvin Johnson’s streak of 2 TDs per game would be broken, but that was pretty much it for this game. The Stafford to Johnson connection proved to be too much for Cam Newton and Bill. Chris Johnson finally showed up for a little effort, but Bill was sunk by poor WR play and fall to the Lagers on the road.

 

Rednecks 26 - Mighty Midtowne Mimes 23

The Rednecks squeak by the Mimes behind a strong game from new addition Victor Cruz. The Mimes waste the efforts of Dwayne Bowe and Jared Allen and fall even further behind the pace in the Left. With the Rednecks win and the Malleus loss, the Rednecks remain the last undefeated team in FLoF.

 

Capo Di Tutti Capi 28 - N.Y. Hamburglers 2

So much for my surprise game from the ‘burglers. The Hamburglers did finally have contributions from the RB position; it was just a shame that was the only offense from this team. DeAngelo Williams was a fine bye-week replacement for Capo and the entire offense was just too much despite a great defensive effort from the still winless Ham.

Roger's Ramjets 44 - Export Flannel 25

Roger and his league leading offense keep on rolling, downing a game effort from Flannel. Hard to say if it would have helped, but starting a WR on a bye will not get you very far, especially against Roger’s combo of Matt Schaub and Fred Jackson. Roger’s win puts him further out in front of the Right Division.

Murrysville Drow 36 - Old No. 7 23

I predicted the outcome correctly; it just failed to be the offensive onslaught I called for. Aaron Rogers showed up to play for Drow, but Ryan Fitzpatrick did not for 7, which proved to be the difference in the game. Drow’s win keeps the Left Division muddled at the top.

 

Fightin' Bitin' Beavers 30 - Malleus Maleficarum 12

Adrian Petersons big day power the Beavers to a win over the previously undefeated Malleus. Tom Brady and Matt Forte were just average, while new addition Vincent Jackson failed to contribute for the Hammer. Despite Kevin Kolb’s best effort to sink the Beaver squad, Steve’s team got solid contribution from the rest of the team in the victory.
