The first round of the playoffs is in the books, and it looks like most teams came to play. Three of the four teams vying for the Igloo Bowl Championship put up at least 210 points, while the other couldn’t even crack 110. The Rexes and the Nagintas have to feel pretty fortunate they had a week off, while the others slugged it out. The Nagintas will now face the surprising WDJFS, after they squashed the Bananas, with a new record score. The Rexes are set to face the Chalupas in the other semi-final match up, which should be a dandy. It will be entertaining for myself, Smitty and McKay, watching Laker cheer for the Pack, while hoping Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson don’t light up his fantasy team.
Igloo Bowl Bracket
#6 What Does John Fox Say (240.68) def #3 San Juan Bananas (211.34)
Mo nailed this one in his predictions, as WDJFS blew all expectations out of the water, in their win over the Bananas. It was a record breaking performance by the #6 seed, as they put up the top offensive score in league history, as well as the highest overall score. Unfortunately for WDJFS, they lost a key contributor in Percy Harvin, and possibly Eddie Lacy as well. To add insult to injury, WDJFS put this beat down on with their highest scoring player riding the pine. The Bananas season is now over, and they head into the off-season looking to tinker with their roster to try and compete with the big dogs outside of their division.
Game MVP: TY Hilton – There were several great performances for WDJFS, but Hilton was the best of the bunch.
Goat: Mark Ingram – I don’t think many people expected the game script the Saints had on Sunday. Facing a large early deficit, Ingram usually gives way to the receiving backs.
#4 Chalupa Batman (218.74) def #5 Knuckle Ballers (107.42)
I’m not sure what Mo saw in the Ballers, but there was no way they were getting the win with the running backs they tossed out there this week. The Chalupas absolutely eviscerated the Ballers by more than doubling their score. The Chalupas now head on to face the Rexes in a highly anticipated match up. The Chalupas my have also picked up a costly injury at the wrong time, as Julio Jones left the game early last night with a hip injury. The lack of depth at the RB position doomed the Ballers down the stretch. You have to imagine they try to rectify that in the off-season.
Game MVP: Julio Jones – Had an incredible night that was a foot in bounds and another 2 yards from being absolutely legendary.
Goat: Peyton Manning – When your team relies on Broncos, the worst fantasy game in Peyton’s career doesn’t help one bit.
Extra Pick Bracket
#4 Loose Bandits (172.60) def #1 Tom Selleck’s Moustache (142.10)
Mo pulls off the upset, and now gets the basement dwelling Dancers to earn a shot at the bonus pick. The Stache are safe from the Frittata Bowl, so they’re season is effectively over, and they can start planning for 2015. I wonder if he’ll be a little more active on the trade market, as the standing pat this off-season may have cost him big time.
Game MVP: Le’Veon Bell – 235 yards and 3TD’s for Bell on the afternoon. He may just carry the Bandits to the consolation title himself, while keeping them from earning the Frittata.
Goat: LeSean McCoy – Shady has been a disappointment for most of the year. It’s fitting that he leads the way in a first round ouster.
#2 Fear Boners (165) def #3 Long Snappers (109.12)
The Boners blasted all over the Snappers, to give the Senor Crabs division the sweep over the Yobagoya division in the consolation bracket. With the win, the Boners move on to face the worst of the Yobagoya squads, the Idiots. It’s been a rough season for the Snappers, but they do have several solid young WR, and a decent defense to build around. Two late firsts and Ray Rice may be the keys to their off-season. If they don’t improve over the next couple weeks, they’ll also have a Frittata punishment to look forward to.
Game MVP: Cam Newton – If Newton is finally healthy, he could be huge for the Boners down the stretch.
Goat: Dwayne Allen – The Colts had a big day against the Browns, but Allen was virtually invisible.
Frittata Bowl Standings
- Long Snappers – 126.16
- Greg Schiano is an Idiot – 166.48
- Endzone Dancers – 170.28
- Loose Bandits – 213.70
