DFL 2016 Week 11: So.. kickers.. yeah....

OK, so if you read my blogs, you know that I always say that kickers (and defenses) win games.  So, if you're like me, you're wondering why all of the place kickers looked like this, this week:

 A record high 12 missed PATs this week around the league.  Good gord, folks.  Come on now.  You're killing me!

Anyways, this has got to be a quick write up this week cuz Thanksgiving and all, so let's get to it!

Pick 'ems!  Let's just call it the week of ties this week.  Phil went 3-3. and Terri and Mike both went 2-4.  So, that means that Terri and Phil are tied for 1st at 37, which Mike and RA Dave are tied at 33.  Now, in RA Dave's defense, he did forget that there was a Thursday night game this week.  Since, like, that doesn't happen every week.  O wait.  Yeah, it does.  So, Dave, just as a  heads up there are multiple games this week on Thanksgiving.  And you probably don't have to go to work.  And you'll probably be eating turkey on Thursday.

So, a few things to note on this short write up week:

1. Beat down of the week goes to Skoot.  No, not for receiving it, but for delivering it.  Yeah,I know, it feels weird to type that.  Skoot score 77.88 points to Terri;s 31.13 points.  
2. Everyone on Terri's insanely under performing team had positive points.  I mean, some just *bare*hit the mark, but positive nonetheless.
3. Both teams at the top took losses this week.  Kookie lost by 30 points to Patrick, and Mike lost by 12 points to Missy.
4. That last one kinda bears repeating.  Mike, who was and is in 1st place, lost to Missy who is second to last place.  
5. And since we're talking about the lower echelon of the league, it's probably worth pointing out that while the top two teams lost this week, the bottom three teams won this week. That's right, Melanie was able to pull off a win against RA Dave this week.  And Melanie did this while spotting RA Dave 2 players.
6. The longest streak of the league current is RA Dave with 4 losses.
7. And perhaps the best smack of the league comes this week, straight from Ben's keyboard:

We're coming down the final stretch here, y'all.  Even with his loss this week, RA Dave secures the first playoff berth here.  3 weeks left and 7 playoff spots left.  IT's anyone game, y'all.  (Except Skoot's.  Probably it's out of Skoot's hands now.)
