Week 8 Recap

Contributing Writer: Alonzo Beadle
Bye Week vs. Chiefly Deflated
It was the battle of We're Not Quite at 500 yet between Chiefly Deflated and oh... it's another Bye Week.

Bye Weakly Tee offed on their right foot as QB Jared Goffed a stellar round of 31 off of the back 9 while Stefan "Can you Digg it" Diggs pulled in 28 pts.  But would that be enough to hold off the Deflated one as 3, three, threeee of Bye Weakly's team had 3 pts each? The Patriots came to the Defense by singing Yankee Doodle Dandy and scored 20 pts.

The Chiefs would not allow themselves to be tomahawk chopped on any Bye Weakly basis and got to work. Mitchel the Truebeasty of Chicago tossed the pigskin for a solid 27 pts. The Eagles D soared for 11 and Stephen Gastikowski let his legs to the walking for 15. Things were looking good until Brandin only Cooked for 7 and the Ingram Angle came out at 8. It was left up to Travis Kelce to bring home the bacon but was found in the corner whispering 18 times "there's no place like home"...  
​L: Chief Deflators (90 pts) Record: 3-5
W: Bye WEek (107 pts) Record: 4-4

Ertz When Eifert vs. Mr. Cha-Ching
Next up was the battle between the looongest losing streak vs the looongest winning streak as  MR CHA -CHING tried to dethrone Ertz when Eifert.

Magic CAN happen on ANY given Sunday but today wouldn't be one of them!

Cam the Big Fig Newton threw for 31 and Derek drove Cha -Chings Carr for 33 both while sitting on the bench but don't worry Joe Flaco thinned down his points to only 10. We know, we know,... it's all in your strategy. All wasn't lost for Mr Cha -Ching as Joe Mix'DIn 26 and Mike Evans shone for 31. The final result,... The losing and winning streak continue.
L: Mr. Cha-Ching (117 pts) Record: 3-5
W: Ertz when Eifert (147 pts) Record: 7-1

Lloyd Dobler vs Kashyyyk Wookies
This week, Dobler made the right call by starting Luck (29 points) over Brees (8 points). But even that could not salvage the week as Dobler had several poor performances by Funchess (2 points), Burton (1 point), and Allison (1 point). By the time Sunday night rolled around, Dobler’s kicker, Will Lutz would have needed a 30 point game and hope that Latavius Murray would have got skunked. Lutz did his best (16 points) and unfortunately for Dobler, Murray had a great night (19 points). Dobler did have a few players show up – Luck 29 points), Gurley (33 points – STUD), Lindsay (16 points), and Goodwin (13 points). But otherwise, it wasn’t a great week which led to another “L”. The only position battle won by Dobler was maybe the RB (Gurley) and the K (Lutz). Not a good recipe for winning.

The Wookies coach looks like a genius as APAD Adrian Peterson continues to roll along (27 points, 2 TDs, 149 yards – including a 64 yard game clinching TD). That’s old-school. He continues to move up the all-time NFL top 10 RB yardage list, as he just passed Tony Dorsett to move into the #9 slot. Next up, Eric Dickerson. The Wookies also had great scoring from Wentz (27 points), Jordan Howard (14 points). Marvin Jones (29 points), Golden Tate (10 points), and Kittle (10 points).

Overall, with the Wookies win, both teams sit at 3-5. The Wookies’ record may not look great, but the team can score. The last two weeks it has come up with 150 points and 143 points. The two weeks before that, they only scored 75 and 51 points. And the team has scored 152 points and still got a loss. If the Wookies can avoid sub 100 point games, it can go on a run and maybe jump into the playoffs and do some damage. Meanwhile, Dobler is 3 games back in its division and hoping to turn its season around this week. Cooper to the Cowboys! He’s still benched this week.
L: Lloyd Dobler (120 pts) Record: 3-5
W: Kashyyyk Wookies (143 pts) Record: 3-5

SOG vs Armed Rodgery 105-84
He came busting through the door! He was about to take down the bank of goftton! He was armed to the max! He just got his new weapon James White, he had the best QB in the game. But as he approached the security guard he suddenly realized he forgot tho load them.... he took a shot with his Saquan Barkley but only little bubbles came out, this was getting embarrassing. The bank of Goffton was catching on, so they pushed there Kareem hunt button under the counter. All of a sudden the building was surrounded by Andy Daulton's, these red headed step child's were not messing around! Mr Armed Rodgery could here them through the mega phone telling him to put his 84 points down, he was so confused at this point.So as a last resort he pulled out his TY Hilton and his Randle Cobb and started shooting, but the guns were pointed at himself so he died.
L: Armed Rodgery (84 pts) Record: 3-5
W: Straight Outta Goffton (105 pts) Record: 6-2

Ram I Am vs Truffle Shuffle
All I can say about this match up is points were used up in other match ups this week, so these are the leftovers. Truffles have had it rough! No Bell to ring for backup when the going gets rough. And as far as the other opponent, the title "RAM" should be taken away. The LA Rams sent me a letter saying they are happy to take a win but embarrassed by the performance.
L: Truffle Shuffle (61 pts) Record: 2-6
W: Ram I Am (73 pts) Record: 5-3

Worthy of My Greatness vs Packing Heat
In an interdivision matchup the WMG took on the Packing Heat in week 8. Both teams have some solid players and have potential to take their team into the postseason. The battle of the QB was an easy win for the Heat as their team captain is the red-hot rookie sensation, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes scored 34 points for the Heat. Meanwhile, the Worthy’s QB is the over-the-hill Eli “Babyface” Manning, who settled for a mere 14 points. (Update: Manning was immediately dropped to the waiver wire after this game) Unfortunately, for the Heat, the battle of the QB was only the beginning of this saga. Worthy’s team would outscore the Heat in every position except for kicker. Despite scoring 117 points, the Heat’s fire was put out by the Greatness’ 153 points. The battle of the division leader continues with SOG in the top spot. Who will hold that crown at the end of the season?
L: Packing Heat (117 pts) Record: 4-4
W: Worthy of My Greatness (153 pts) Record: 5-3
