Week 6 Recap

Hamburglers WIN! The Rednecks and Ramjets fall. I am 50/50 again this week and 12 for 30 for my predictions moving into the midway point of the year.

Mighty Midtowne Mimes 21 - Fightin' Bitin' Beavers 0

The Beavers get blanked on the road thanks to a strong defensive effort from the Mimes. Newcomer Alex Smith did not impress subbing for Kevin Kolb this week, and the rest of the offensive did nothing much for Steve. Meanwhile, the Mimes finally close out one with an impact game by Josh Freeman and keep the Mimes in the hunt in the Left.

 

Murrysville Drow 40 - Iron City Lagers 11

This game wasn’t nearly as close as I thought it would be. Aaron Rogers was his usual self this week, but an unexpected big game from Rashard Mendenhall sends the Drow over 60 offensive points this week and keep them at the top of the Left. Matthew Stafford was the only player to contribute double digit points; that and a subpar defensive effort doomed the Lagers as they fall off the pace.

 

Capo Di Tutti Capi 27 - Rednecks 10

I have been calling for this loss for weeks, and indeed, this was the week that the luck finally ran out for the Rednecks. Victor Cruz and Dez Bryant came up small, and the defensive effort was countered by a good game from the Capo’s Drew Brees and Ray Rice. The loss knocks off the last undefeated team and the lead in the Middle for the ‘necks while propelling Capo into contention in the Right.

Bill's Team 25 - Roger's Ramjets 12

The offensive output for Roger wasn’t really that bad, just a tough matchup for Matt Schaub kept him from his normal output this week, despite the big game from Fred Jackson. Bill actually didn’t do that much offensively, with Tim Hightower sitting this one out, but the defense had Bill covered while Roger had next to nothing. The loss from Roger allows the Right to tighten a little while Bill makes a move in the Middle.

 

N.Y. Hamburglers 17 - Old No. 7 6

The Hamburglers finally get off the schneid and get their first win of the year. The offensive outputs from both teams were about even, but the difference was the huge Monday-nighter from Darrell Revis. Billy Cundiff and Matt Ryan counter a great game from Michael Turner and keeps 7 from moving in the Middle. Post-game, an exuberant Jamie tries to bare-chest bump Jason and narrowly avoids a midfield fight.

 

Malleus Maleficarum 42 - Export Flannel 5

Malleus takes the home game their home game this week. Tom Brady and Matt Forte were just average, but it really didn’t matter with the weak 9 point defensive effort turned in by the Flannel squad. The 17 point game turned in by LeSean McCoy was about the only reason Flannel wasn’t blanked this week. Malleus reclaims the pole position in the Middle while a Flannel loss keeps them from gaining in the Right.
