There is no way I will make it through the full article today…and there will be no time tomorrow with the Holiday…so just want to give credit to a few items…The Playoff Scenarios were posted up yesterday if you missed them…and I’ll pop all the Player of the Week awards into next week like we did last year…Happy Thanksgiving everybody…
Chump Survivor Final
Week 12 was the Final of our 3rd Chump Survivor competition…and this was our closest contest yet…Money Inc got things started on Thursday with a 22 point blast from Jamaal Charles…but after early Sunday games Runs N Throses had built up an 11 point lead 57-68…Sunday Afternoon games brought Money Inc back within 2 points 91-93…but an Odell Beckham explosion in the Sunday Night game brought Runs N Throses back to a 10 point advantage 119-129…Money Inc had only Dan Carpenter left to play on Monday Night…the Bills kicker got 6 Kick Opportunities…but unfortunately for the Money Men…5 of those were Extra Points as the Bills embarrassed the Jets…He did earn a bonus point with a 54 yard Field Goal…but the Bills chose to drown the clock on their last possession and punt leaving Money Inc 1 point short 128-129…The Buccaneer Division remains the sole winner of this award…
Team of the Week
If you are only going to win 3 games in the Season…at least make them count…After taking down Buccaneer Division Leader Runs N Throses with a Team of the Week award in Week 9…Hurricanes followed up by tripping up Bandit Division Leader Money Inc in Week 10…and now knocking Warriors out of the Buccaneer Title race with a 2nd Team of the Week outing…It could have been a bigger blowout as he left Latavius Murray and his 23 point coming out party on the bench…This will have to be a “Wha’ Happened?” season for the Hurricanes as they currently have the 4th most points in the league (1,288)…but still ended up with 5 Coulda’ Won games…including a 2-point and 2 1-point losses…In fact over the last 4 games no team has more points than Hurricanes…
Chump of the Week
Alternatively…this is not the way you want to end the season going into the TBFL Playoffs…after starting the 2014 Season on fire…over the last 4 games no team has fewer points than Bay Area Thrashers…76.7% Roster Efficiency was the lowest of any team in Week 12…but with 14 of 18 roster positions hitting only 1-digit scores…the 90 Potential Points could only have beaten 1 other team…This is the 1st time Bay Area Thrashers has claimed 2 Chump Awards in the same season since 2010 (Weeks 2 & 4)…it is the 17th Chump Score in their Franchise History…
DeMarco Murray Watch
DeMarco Murray came off a week of rest right back on track with his 10th 100+ Rushing Yard outing of the season…He piled up 121 yards against the Giants on 24 carries (5.04 ypc)…to stay the League Leader (by 403 yards) at 1,354 yards through 11 Games Played…but 1984 Eric Dickerson is closing the gap…In his 11th Game…Dickerson carried 28 times for 149 yards (5.32 ypc) to reach his current season total of 1,320 yards…over the last 5 games…Dickerson will average 5.65 yards per carry on 139 more attempts (27.8 per game)…a milestone Murray has only hit in 3 games this year…
