Welcome to the official MFL week 8 recap thread, this week in the MFL saw Girl Graves regain the top spot in the standings after a 63 pt curb stomping (169 - 106) of CA Bain (Rock Terror) in the Minion Grudge Match of the Century and in the process put up the most points (169) by a team so far this season, getting within 25 pts of the league record 193 pts put up by Dusty (Free Josh Gordon) last year. Meanwhile Duncan's & MadMan Gamers win streaks come to an end, Mark's losing streak (now at 7 games) continues putting him one loss away from tying Dark's league record (set in 2011) of 8 consecutive losses, Free Todd Gurley changed their name (to Free Johnny Football) again and won the Battle of the Free....men by 31 pts with a 163 pt performance. This week also saw The Fighting Kittens put up the highest margin of victory (83 pts) so far this season and only 1 game decided by 10 pts or less while the rest of the games this week were decided by 30 pts or more.
Go Blue Girl (Joanna) vs. Of Hogs and Hokies (Danny Trioxin)
Go Blue Girl looked unbeatable, putting up the highest point total they've scored this season to get past Of Hogs and Hokies 124.62 to 88.16. Each side met their expectations, but Go Blue Girl put up 32.4% more points than projected (94.14) to earn the win. Of Hogs and Hokies was led by the tag team of Mark Ingram, with 23.50 points, and Russell Wilson, who scored 16.46. Go Blue Girl (4-4, 774.88 points) climbs into seventh place while Of Hogs and Hokies (1-7, 581.98 points) stays down in 11th place.
The Fighting Kittens (Smoke/SmokeTNT) vs. Backfield Penetration (Monster Mark)
The Fighting Kittens trashed BackfieldPenetration 115.54 to 32.04 while also impressing Willie Nelson with the highest point total they've scored this season. Just like the Titanic, the BackfieldPenetration-ship is going down, having lost their seventh straight. Free fallin' like Tom Petty, BackfieldPenetration suffered a significant drop in scoring from last week's 87.52 to 63.20 loss against Of Hogs and Hokies. To make matters worse, BackfieldPenetration had several starters score zero points. The Fighting Kittens (4-4, 736.28 points) climbs into eighth place while BackfieldPenetration (1-7, 479.84 points) stays locked in the cellar.
The Taint(Brett) vs. The Bastaaaards (Duncan)
The Taint devastated The Bastaaards 146.66 to 70.84 while also impressing Willie Nelson with the fourth-highest score of the season. These two teams are tied for sixth place with 4-4 records, but it doesn't tell the whole story, as The Taint has a clear points lead, 813.84 to 705.46. There is the good, the bad, the ugly, and then there is this. The 75.82-point margin of victory is the second-highest in the league this season. To make matters worse, The Bastaaards had a starter score zero points (Garrett Graham).
Grave Robbers (Girl Graves) vs. Rock Terror (CA Bain)
Grave Robbers (6-2, 879.34 points) clambers to the top of the heap after walloping Rock Terror (fourth place, 5-3, 819.92 points) 168.90 to 105.28. They recorded the highest point total this season and also pulled off an upset, coming into the matchup with a projected spread of 17.13. This is the kind of victory the grandchildren will hear about. The 63.62-point margin of victory was the fourth-highest recorded in the league this season. Philip Rivers led Rock Terror with 27.78 points while Golden Tate brought in 21.10. The gap could have been wider, Grave Robbers had a starter score zero points (Reggie Wayne).
Free Johnny Football (Jerry) vs. Free Josh Gordon (Dusty)
Free Johnny Football (third place, 5-3, 859.02 points) proves they are better than their record, booting Free Josh Gordon (6-2, 872.70 points) out of first after beating them 162.18 to 131.04. They put up the second-highest point total this season, which warrants a self-pat on the back. Only a small one though, don't get too cocky. Both teams played very well, but Free Johnny Football put up 52.0% more than a projected 106.70 points to get the win. Free Josh Gordon was led by the tag team of Drew Brees, with 31.04 points, and Matt Forte, who scored 24.80.
Dark's Dragons vs. MadMan Gamers (tav7623/MadMan Gamer)
Dark's Dragons (3-5, 677.64 points) defeated MadMan Gamers (5-3, 802.04 points) 102.54 to 94.92, led by Peyton Manning with 29.44 points and Antonio Gates who had 17.40. Dark's Dragons came into the Sunday games already in front 46.84 to 5.80. That lead faded away like paint in the rain by the end of the early Sunday games and they trailed 92.42 to 67.24. However, Dark's Dragons pulled off the comeback victory on Monday night, with 14.50 points from Alfred Morris.
