Welcome to the official MFL week 2 recap thread, this week in the MFL we saw a couple of upset victories including one that I have a feeling we'll be hearing all about on this week's episode. In other league news only 2 of last week's wining teams managed to remain undefeated (it will be interesting to see how long they can remain undefeated) and most of this week's victories were pretty lopsided affairs with only 2 of the 6 games being decided by 10 points or less.
The Bastaaaards (Duncan) vs. Go Blue Girl (Joanna)
Go Blue Girl was pretty much unstoppable, registering the second-highest point total this week to get past The Bastaaards 105.14 to 84.84. The Bastaaards failed to live up to expectations and scored only 95.2% of a projected 89.12, while Go Blue Girl scored 13.7% more points than projected (92.46). The Bastaaards was coming off a 95.36 to 57.90 loss against BackfieldPenetration and saw their scoring improve this week. Both teams left points off the scoreboard in this one, as Go Blue Girl started one player with zero points and The Bastaaards also served up one. Go Blue Girl (1-1, 199.30 points) moves into third place and The Bastaaards (0-2, 142.74 points) winds up in 11th place.
Grave Robbers (Girl Graves) vs. Free Josh Gordon (Dusty)
Free Josh Gordon got 23.80 points from Darren Sproles and 20.78 from Drew Brees to sneak by Grave Robbers 92.08 to 89.38. Free Josh Gordon came into the Monday night game facing a 5.72-point deficit, but scored 34.30 for the comeback. This one just as easily could have been decided by a coin flip. The 2.70-point margin of vicroty was the smallest in the league this season. Andrew Luck led Grave Robbers with 25.88 points while Stevan Ridley brought in 16.10. Following a zero-point effort from A.J. Green, Grave Robbers was left to wonder "what might have been?". Free Josh Gordon (2-0, 186.20 points) shifts into second place and Grave Robbers (1-1, 191.78 points) goes to sixth place.
The Taint(Brett) vs. Free Josh Blackmon (Jerry)
The Taint was on another level this week, putting up the highest point total this week to get past Free Justin Blackmon 112.86 to 88.24. The Taint played better than expected and put up 13.2% more than their projected 99.69 points, while Free Justin Blackmon fell short of their projections and scored only 88.8% of a projected 99.32. It was a Jay Cutler laser show, as he provided the second-highest score in the league this week with 33.54 points. The Taint showed some mercy in the win, starting a player with zero points (Marques Colston). The Taint (1-1, 198.52 points) shifts into fourth place and Free Justin Blackmon (1-1, 195.00 points) goes to fifth place.
Dark's Dragons vs. Of Hogs and Hokies (Danny Trioxin)
Dark's Dragons got 27.58 points from Peyton Manning and 20.50 from Alfred Morris, crushing Of Hogs and Hokies 93.98 to 42.42. This was a solid rout, with the 51.56-point margin of victory being the highest recorded in the league this season. Free fallin' like Tom Petty, Of Hogs and Hokies suffered a significant drop in scoring from last week's 95.38 to 86.84 loss against The Fighting Kittens. When assigning blame following this loss, Of Hogs and Hokies can look in the mirror. They started a player with zero points (Dwayne Allen). Dark's Dragons (1-1, 171.04 points) moves into ninth place while Of Hogs and Hokies (0-2, 129.26 points) goes to the cellar.
Rock Terror (CA Bain) vs. The Fighting Kittens (Smoke/SmokeTNT)
Rock Terror benefited from 18.50 points from Randall Cobb and 16.20 from LeSean McCoy, taking down The Fighting Kittens 85.36 to 80.94. While each team fell short of hitting their projections, Rock Terror scored 89.7% of a projected 95.18 points to get the win. For The Fighting Kittens, DeMarco Murray and Nick Foles played the roles of Maverick and Goose, scoring 21.30 and 20.44 points, respectively. The Fighting Kittens (1-1, 176.32 points) goes to eighth place while Rock Terror (1-1, 182.98 points) remains in seventh place.
MadMan Gamers (tav7623/madmangamer) vs. Backfield Penetration (Monster Mark)
MadMan Gamers got 26.90 points from Jordy Nelson and 15.04 from Matt Ryan to thump BackfieldPenetration 83.84 to 53.40. There is the good, the bad, the ugly, and then there is this. The 30.44-point margin of victory is the third-highest in the league this season. BackfieldPenetration, coming off a 95.36 to 57.90 win against The Bastaaards, saw their scoring drop off this week. When assigning blame following this loss, BackfieldPenetration can look in the mirror. They started a player with zero points (Carson Palmer). BackfieldPenetration (1-1, 148.76 points) winds up in 10th place while MadMan Gamers (2-0, 209.96 points) remains in first place.
