DFL 2018: Week 12: That's how it's going to be, huh?

Well, we are just sliding along, aren't we?  A third of the league is on a 3 game streak.  Good for some (Ben, Stephen), and bad for others (Phil, Skoot).  I think that we can all agree that the really shitty thing is that as I take my third loss in a row, I'm not only bumped down to 3rd place, but somehow my clinched playoff spot from last week has disappeared.  AmIRightGuys???


O, screw you too!!!

As a reminder, the elimination league is done, with Josh being the winner.  


So, no more reporting on that.

Next up... Pick 'ems!  Awful, awful week here, fellas.  Only 4 people made picks, and nobody climbed above .500 here.  It's like it was a holiday week or something.

OK, so technically, they have 2nd amendment rights too....
Anyways, Crutch and Mike both went 3-3, while Ben and I only pulled in 2-4.  To be fair, there were only 2 games that the favored team actually won.  Again, who can even guess at this point?  Anyway, Crutch is inching ever closer and Mike caught up to robo-Ben, leaving us like this:

Phil:  47
Crutch:  41
Mike:  38
Ben:  38
Josh:  35
Terri:  27

Keep your picks coming!  Only two more regular season games!!!

Let's look at the games!!!!

Patrick (97.89) vs. Josh (92.05).  Once again, the second highest scorer loses to the highest scorer.  And once again, it's Josh on the painful side of this match up...  Of course, this is the second week in a row that Josh has started Wentz.  So, we'll see where he goes next week. Sadly, as it stands right now, Fournette is going to be suspended next week, which will make things a little awkward for him.  But hey, I'm sure that an injured Wentz will surely pull some magic off, right?


As for Patrick... man o man... His players are just turning it on down the stretch.  Both McCaffrey and Elliot went off.  And with this win, Patrick all but locks up the 1 seed in the playoffs, leaving the rest of us like this:


Ben (70.47) vs. Skoot (52.51).  (Holy geez! Look at the drop off in points between the high scoring game and the next in line.  MASSIVE!  I would have hate to have lost that first game!)  Ben continues his winning streak and Skoot continues his losing streak.  Skoot had Barkley going off (so what else is new), and nobody else really doing anything.  On the plus side, he did keep his streak of playing short handed going.  Well done, Skoot! Ben lucked out that his back up QB didn't shit the bed on his golden boy's BYE week.  Mixon and Ebron also contributed nicely to the beat down of the week.  Ironically, the only pick that wasn't for Ben was actually FROM Ben.  So, congratulations?  I guess?


Stephen (69.02) vs. Crutch (58.42).  Man... I keep thinking that Stephen is out and then his team just gets it together at just the right times.  Chubb is carrying the team righ tnow, but Cook and Adams certainly didn't hurt too much either.  Crutch did a solid job of treading water while HIS golden boys (Hill and Hunt) were on BYE, but it just wasn't enough.  Also, Crutch, you know that you can pull a quarterback who ISN'T playing in Tampa, right?  But who am I to question your QBs?


Mike (64.97) vs. Phil (57.01).  I love Mike vs. Phil match ups.  They are always good to watch.  This one came down to Monday night.  As long as the new guy Thomas didn't get a touchdown, Phil should be able to take it.  Sadly, Thomas got not one, but two touchdowns and he not only won the game, but acended to 2nd place AND kicked Phil out in the process.  

I'm just sayin'...
Kyle (63.37) vs. Terri (61.21).  Man, what a shit situation this could have been for Kyle.  Terri has pretty much given up for the year (not undeservedly so), and Kyle was THIS close to dropping a game to her.  Luck and Juju (hehe - what a wonderful combination!) were enough to counter balance Cam and Miller, but mostly becaues Johnson didn't actually play this week.  So, Kyle keeps his play off hopes alive... barely.


McClennen (58.45) vs. D (48.23).  Well, McClennen, it certainly was nice of you to spot D TWO positions here.  Funches didn't play and you didn't even bother with a Defense.  D on the other hand somehow found a way to have his defense score less and threw pretty much a Hail Mary when starting Mullens.  I mean, I know that the Niners were only playing Tampa, but seriously?  Mullens?  Respect on the balls, man.    So, well done, McClennnen!  You've just pulled in back to back wins for the first time this season!  Dare you go for a hat trick?


(I know, I know.. wrong sport, just go with me on this one.)

That's it, ladies and gentlemen!  Only two more weeks of regular season play!  Good luck!
