Our game of the week saw the league’s highest scoring team cool off from 174 points to 127 points, but Qualley’s Des Moines Football Team was still good enough for the 3rd highest score this week and able to send Joe to 0-4, who could only muster 98 points this week. Qualley’s whole team scored double digits, and scarily, his bench could have propelled him even higher, as Doubs delivered a hat trick of tuddies on his bench, the best attention grab for playing time Doubs can muster. Qualley climbs to 2-2, but still sits at two-games back from the division leader, Austin, who would win handily against Ewoldt and the Course Rangers 116-91 this week. Austin remains undefeated, and I don’t know why that should change, sitting tight on league winner Bijan, who produced 29 points this week, and to boot, he does it for the second straight week without Jayden Daniels. Ewoldt falls to 2-2 after his 2-0 start.
The battle between our two other 3-0 teams wasn’t really a battle at all, as Jesse’s Meet MY Kids tun in their worst performance of the year, and concerningly, their 4th consecutive declining performance: 114 - 99 - 88 - 75. Hunt’s GROOVERS put up 122 points and cruised to 4-0, remaining the all-play W-L leader at 54-14, though he has fallen to 4th in PPG, as Scallon’s Pineview Knights went fully MEDIEVAL on Jord and Yes Chef!, doubling them up and them some 172-82, and Scallon now jumps Hunt in PPG through 4 weeks. It’s the second highest score by any team this season, and was anchored by 50 points from Love and CMC, but sent to the upper echelons by George Pickens’ 34 points and a ridiculous 27 points from the Lions DEF. The Knights climb to 2-2 and will look to chase the 4-0 Austin in Papa Jord’s. For Papa Jord himself, he falls to 1-3 and our 2024 champ really needs to take hard look in the mirror, as he currently sits at 17-51 in all-play record, the league worst.
Another shoutout to Daddy this week, as he narrowly puts together back to back wins, this week slipping past No Nonsense Nelson 112-108. His team looked in TROUBLE midway Sunday, but some hero performances from Mahomes and Hampton, and some all-time low performances from Lamar and AJ Brown for Nelson’s squad, flipped the script and the 4 points Will Lutz delivered last night were Father Daddy needed to get back to even Steven. Even more impressive that he did this without his first round draft pick CeeDee Lamb.
Speaking of first round draft picks, we lost one this week to a season ender, as Brady’s Malik Nabers tore his ACL in the Chargers game. It’s a big blow to ALL-TIME D, who fell to 1-3 to boot this week, as Nick and Alexa, Draft My Team swept up 106-69, and made their way to 3-1. But we all know Brady’s team has never been about talent, and if there’s anyone who can coach their way out of the pickle he’s in, it’s him.
Papa Jord’s hits their stride with a monster week, climbing to a 23 game lead, as X-IA and CdS remain close.
Your commish’ navigates both 50/50s and nails the MNQ, jumping Jord and Chris in the process.
