As your Commish tries to prepare to get this mess out every week (fingers crossed)…he has been compiling various stats that come up often in these articles and maintaining them for faster completion…here are a few current streaks to start the 2016 Season…
Hurricanes ended the season on a 3 game slide thru the Gauntlet Weeks….with a final loss to…X-Factor…who ran out the last 5 games of the 2015 TBFL Season on a Division Title win streak with an average margin of victory of 26 points (108-82)…Bubba Army finished the year on a 3 game win streak through the Gauntlet Weeks including the last Team of the Week on the year in Week 13…
6 different teams took down a Team of the Week award in 2015…ending with Bubba Army book-ending the year in Week 13… Husslers and Hurricanes grabbed the last 2 awards of 2014…followed by Warriors (2014, Week 8) and Armed N Dangerous (2014, Week 5)…Money Inc’s drought runs back to a split award with X-Factor in Week 11 of 2011 (and then another 85 weeks to their last sole award in Week 4 of 2005)…while Fudgie Whales has the longest current run of 5 full seasons since their award in Week 13 of 2010…
Just like the Team of the Week…only 6 teams shared all 13 Chump of the Week awards in 2015…Money Inc set a new TBFL Record getting stuck with the award 6 times…but Armed N Dangerous set a new Franchise Record snagging their piece of a 4th award in Week 13…Bubba Army and UO Grandmasters earned their last crushed helmets at the end of 2014…followed by Hurricanes (2014, Week 6) and Playground Legends (2014, Week 5)…Husslers has avoided the award since Week 5 of 2013…while Runs N Throses has the longest clean streak going back to Week 5 of 2012…
Titles cannot be won if you are not playing in the post-season…and the 1st step to guaranteeing your spot is winning your Division…Bay Area Thrashers is riding a 3-year lock on the Storm Division title…Bubba Army is on an every-other year pace…with X-Factor claiming a title every 3 years…Runs N Throses…Husslers…and Hurricanes have filled the slots in between…Armed N Dangerous and Money Inc both took down titles in 2012…Fudgie Whales is on a 5 year drought…UO Grandmasters is at 7…Playground Legends and Warriors both last won titles in 2006…but both were in different Divisions back then (Warriors – Bandit…Jedi Knights – Buccaneer)…neither has ever won the Division they reside in now…
1-and-Done is a real thing…with Wildcards making the Fantasy Bowl in 4 of the last 5 Seasons…and Bay Area Thrashers now running on a 6 year Fantasy Bowl streak…only 2 other teams racked up post-season victories in those years going back to 2011…Armed N Dangerous is 0-5 since their Fantasy Bowl win in 2009…X-Factor is 0-4 since stopping Thrashers from reaching the Final in 2009…and Playground Legends has only had 1 playoff appearance since losing Fantasy Bowl IX in 2006…
