Young Gun Football (106) @ The Pessimists (90)
Young Gun Football got their train back on the tracks with a huge MNF performance to reclaim sole possession of first place in the Thunder Division. With both teams having a league record 6 players going on MNF, Coach Young rode the shoulders of Eli Manning and Felix Jones for 27 points and the come from behind victory. Coach BJ Hudon received another disappointing performance from running back Ryan Matthews in the defeat.
Safety Blitz (107) @ One-Man Wolf Pack (104)
Looking at the box score following the conclusion of Sunday's games, Safety Blitz carried a 12 point lead into MNF with their quarterback, Tony Romo, going against the Wolf Pack's Steve Smith. Game over, right? Wrong! Following a bone-crushing hit that resulted in a broken collar bone early in the 2nd quarter, the Wolf Pack looked to be in prime position to steal a victory from the hands of defeat after cutting the deficit to six points at the half. However, Coach Campo and the Cowboys' defense were able to limit Smith the three second half points to secure the hard-fought victory.
4th and Schlong (90) @ The Hail Marys (93)
Despite five players scoring in double digits for her squad during Sunday's action, Coach Tara Campbell held a slim six point lead going into MNF and facing a top five wide receiver in Miles Austin. While victory seemed imminent for the Schlongs, the walls came crumbling down when Tony Romo was forced to leave the game with a shoulder injury. Austin had his chances early, however, as a touchdown pass from Romo in the first quarter went straight through his hands, allowing The Hail Marys to secure their 3rd victory of the year.
Illegal Alien Babies (75) @ The Hit Squad (70)
In this defensive struggle, The Alien Babies used a breakout performance from Willis McGahee and another strong outing from the Seattle defense to overwhelm The Hit Squad. Coach David Looper of The Hit Squad is still looking for production from tight end Brent Celek, who has struggled this season to find a rhythm in the passing game following the departure of Donovan McNabb. With the victory, Coach Darrell Campbell pulled his squad within one game of the final playoff spot.
Riley's Vikings (82) @ Charlie's Redrockets (88)
Behind the strong running of Frank Gore and Michael Bush, Riley's Vikings carried a seven point lead into MNF with only the Dallas defense left to play for the Redrockets. Coach Matthew Campbell had his defense ready to play, however, as they forced three turnovers and received a punt return for a touchdown from rookie sensation Dez Bryant to pull out the come from behind win.
Pickup of the Week:
Without question, the roster acquisition of the week was Coach Matthew Campbell picking up the Dallas Cowboys' defense. With the New York Jets on a bye and his team mired in an early season funk, Campbell deployed the Dallas D to the tune of three turnovers, one sack, and a punt return for a touchdown to lead his team to victory.
Manager Predictions:
- Phillip Campbell 5-0 (100%)
- Jason Young 4-1 (80%)
- Daniel Campbell 3-2 (60%)
- Matthew Campbell 1-4 (20%)
- David Looper 0-1 (0%)
Trips and Twins:
Teams utilizing three wide receiver sets this week went 1-3. Only one team, Charlie's Redrockets, went with a twin tight end set, installing both Heath Miller and Antonio Gates into the starting lineup for the second straight week. The strategy worked, as the Redrockets won their game 88-82.
Cadillac Nees a Tire Change:
Cadillac Williams has been the league vagabond so far this season. After beginning the year on the practice squad for Safety Blitz, he was released and signed to the practice squad of Young Gun Football. After failing to produce for Coach Young, he was released and immediately resigned by Safety Blitz. Forced to make roster moves and displeased with his lack of production, Coach Phillip Campbell again released Williams to the waiver wire where he was claimed by Charlie's Redrockets. Upon getting the chance to start for Coach Matthew Campbell, Williams promptly scored 10 points including the game winning touchdown reception in Tampa Bay's last second victory.
Poll Question Results:
The Buffalo Bills were voted the worst team in the NFL, receiving five of the seven votes cast.
