Sorry for the delay in getting this out this week. But it's still Wednesday so give me a break.RECAP:
Some good games were played last week. Early in the day, Mayhem was stunned by Jacked Up early on but still had a chance to win it. I looked over from my game to see a heart breaking TD drop from a Mayhem receiver's hands right into a Jacked Up defenders. That was all she wrote. (Jacked Up 38 - Mayhem 26)
The other early game was ours (NR vs Untouchables) and it was a good one. A defensive battle ensued from the beginning. One of the key players of the game was NR's rusher who had at least 6 sacks and two bomb TD's helping No Response capitalize on a flustered, unfortunately shirtless, quarterback for a 20-6 victory. On a side note, these guys ruined my pictures.
After our game, the Victors squared off with LBH2. The Victors got a 1 minute warning before a forced forfeit. In typical fashion, their team showed up one by one to get the game started. One of their key defenders (Lichaa), even hopped in a 3rd down defensive play on a full sprint from his car. Even better, he picked off the pass and took it to the house for 6. Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to take his flags from his shoulders and put them on, negating the TD. LBH2 jumped on them quickly after that, scoring and forcing a TO to go up 14-0. I had to leave at that point but the Victors settled down to win 32-20.
In the other games, it looks like the rest of Jump Off decided to show up for once and they beat the Best Team 48-26. Jacked Up could not carry their momentum into their contest with Fuzion and lost 31-18. Mayhem also had a second contest with a struggling Revolution team that can't seem to get a consistent team there on Saturdays...needless to say, Scott was able to help Mayhem hold off Revolution 22-18. And rounding out the weekend All-Money lost to Rezurrection 28-18 and Revolution was able to beat Jacked Up on Sunday 26-15.
Now for the fun football stuff. We are in the final week of the regular season for the Summer Flag Football League.
The South Division is locked up:
Victors (6-1), LBH2 (5-2), Untouchables (4-3), No Response (3-4), Jumpoff (1-6) & Best Team (0-7)
Unless the Victors forfeit (forced to forfeit because they are always late), or screw around against Jumpoff they will be #1. The other 3 spots will depend on the outcome of this weekend. LBH2 (5-2) faces No Response (3-4) and the Untouchables (4-3) should handle The Best Team (0-7).
The North is a little different:
Fuzion (5-2), Rezurrection (5-2), Mayhem (5-2), All-Money (3-4), Revolution (3-4) & Jacked Up (2-5)
Revolution plays Rezurrection at 11. At 12:15 Jacked Up plays All-Money and Mayhem faces Fuzion in a battle for first place. These three games are set to be pretty good games and will also determine seeding and who makes it in the playoffs.
Lets start with the 3 teams on bottom. JU beat Mayhem last week but lost to Revolution. Money beat Revolution. Money and JU play this weekend. If Money wins they're in. Because of their win over Revolution they hold the tie breaker. Here's where it gets tricky though. If Revolution loses and JU beats Money they will all be 3-5 with wins over each other. Per the rules on the site:
For standings' purposes, tie-breakers will be determined in the following order:
1. # of pts from win loss tie record.. **Won't matter
2. Teams' head to head outcomes during the regular season **Won't matter
3. Aggregate team bar tab **Tricky, who knows about this, JU played most of their games in 2-3 wks, who knows if they went to the bar, Mike has been out the last two-three weeks so who knows if Money goes to the bar and same goes for Revolution who barely fields a team each week.
4. Strength of schedule **Kind of a Judgement call, JU has a win over Mayhem?
5. Least # of points given up. **Going into this week Money has given up the least at 159.
6. Total number of points scored from seasons’ games
7 A coin toss will determine the tie-breaker.
This will all be irrelevant if Revolution wins and Money loses..
Maryland Flag Football Summer League Spreads:
8:30: LBH2 (5-2) vs No Response (3-4): LBH2 -6
9:45: Victors (6-1) vs Jumpoff (1-6): Victors -28
9:45: Best Team (0-7) vs Untouchables (4-3): Untouchables -28
11:00: Revolution (3-4) vs Rezurrection (5-2): Rezurrection -6
12:15: Jacked Up (2-5) vs All-Money (3-4): Honestly don't know here... (even)
12:15: Mayhem (5-2) vs Fuzion (5-2): I have to watch this game! Mayhem -2 (Playing for first place)
Final thoughts going into this week. Victors are scoring at will, LBH2 has lost two in a row and throwing a personal wish out that I want to capitalize on it. Rezurrection has won four games in a row including a win over Fuzion. Mayhem is Mayhem and regardless of what happens they are in the playoffs so anything can happen. Money needs Pat back. Revolution will be fine in the fall or winter. Jacked Up might consider sitting out next summer if they have to play 2-3 games on multiple weekends, I think it has affected them. Jumpoff will be okay if they get some consistency and quit over-complicating everything.. same goes for No Response. And the Best Team.. change your name and keep your heads up. Great talent just haven't played together and needs to pick a QB to stick with.
Good Luck this weekend everyone. I am going to post some pictures separately and announce a new league.
