Welcome to the official MFL week 9 recap thread, this week in the MFL saw Girl Graves hold onto the top spot in the league standings, Free Johnny Football changed their name (for the umpteenth time) to Free The Ebola Nurse, Danny picked up his second win of the season and Mark tied Dr. Dark's league record of eight consecutive losses. This week also saw Go Blue Girl put up the this weeks largest margin of victory (63 pts) with a 152 to 88 beatdown on The Fighting Kittens, speaking of beatdowns only 2 of the 6 games this week were decided by less than 20 pts while the rest were decided by 25 pts or more.
Of Hogs and Hokies (Danny Trioxin) vs. Free Josh Gordon (Dusty)
Of Hogs and Hokies (2-7, 700.24 points) got the second-highest score this week to beat Free Josh Gordon (6-3, 955.78 points) 118.26 to 83.08. Heading into Sunday, Of Hogs and Hokies was in front 23.00 to 21.08. They lost the handle after the early Sunday games and trailed 53.48 to 47.00. However, following the late Sunday games, Of Hogs and Hokies regained the lead for good. Then, they spent the rest of the matchup making fun of Free Josh Gordon to the other league members.
Go Blue Girl (Joanna) vs. The Fighting Kittens (Smoke/SmokeTNT)
Fantasy football owners will accept any point margin to keep a win streak alive, but if you are able to win in a commanding fashion, it makes the streak all the more sweet. That is what Go Blue Girl accomplished this week when they put up the third-highest point total this season, and won their third consecutive win shredding The Fighting Kittens 151.60 to 88.56. Going streaking usually draws attention to yourself, but not in positive way. Not in this case. Since starting their win streak in Week 7, Go Blue Girl has moved from ninth place to fourth. They also have the fourth-highest scoring output in the league at 102.94 points per matchup. With Clay Harbor literally not showing up for Go Blue Girl, it could have been worse. The Fighting Kittens remains in eighth place with a 4-5 record. Go Blue Girl has recently blown through Free Todd Gurley (84.70 to 81.52) and Of Hogs and Hokies (124.62 to 88.16).
Dark's Dragons vs. Backfield Penetration (Monster Mark)
Dark's Dragons took advantage of 27.82 points from Peyton Manning and 22.90 from Alfred Morris to annihilate BackfieldPenetration 92.32 to 63.86. BackfieldPenetration may need a Happy Meal with some french fries to pick up their spirits after dropping their eighth straight. BackfieldPenetration put in the required effort with a much higher point total compared to last week's 112.94 to 33.92 loss against The Fighting Kittens. The buck stops with BackfieldPenetration following this setback, as they had two starters score zero points (Eddie Royal and the Denver Broncos Defense). Dark's Dragons (4-5, 769.96 points) remains mired in 10th place while BackfieldPenetration (1-8, 545.58 points) is still looking up at everyone from the cellar.
Grave Robbers (Girl Graves) vs. The Bastaaaards (Duncan)
Faced with a 24.62-point deficit, Grave Robbers pulled off a 113.06 to 105.02 comeback on Monday night. They were led by Andrew Luck, whose 38.66 points were the second-highest score by a player this week. Even though both teams hit their projections, Grave Robbers put up 18.4% more than their projected 95.45 points to secure the win. The Bastaaards was coming off a 146.66 to 70.84 loss against The Taint and saw their scoring increase this week. Both teams left points off the scoreboard in this one, as Grave Robbers started two players with zero points and The Bastaaards also served up one. Grave Robbers (7-2, 992.40 points) remains in first place and The Bastaaards (4-5, 810.48 points) stays in ninth place.
Free The Ebola Nurse (Jerry) vs. Rock Terror (CA Bain)
Free The Ebola Nurse got 26.76 points from Carson Palmer and 22.00 from the Miami Dolphins Defense, demolishing Rock Terror 100.16 to 50.32. Rock Terror has had some misfortune after losing their third in a row. Following a 168.90 to 105.28 loss against Grave Robbers, Rock Terror saw their scoring plummet this week. Free The Ebola Nurse (6-3, 959.18 points) climbs into second place while Rock Terror (5-4, 870.24 points) drops to seventh place.
The Taint(Brett) vs. MadMan Gamers (tav7623/MadMan Gamer)
The Taint picked up their third consecutive win when they beat MadMan Gamers 98.82 to 82.58. They got a boost from Tom Brady, who got the third-highest score of the week. The streak has changed the season for The Taint. They went from eighth place to fifth since Week 7. The margin wasn't as big as it could have been, The Taint had two starters score zero points. MadMan Gamers goes to 5-4 and falls to sixth place. The Taint has recently steamrolled Grave Robbers (90.24 to 89.16) and The Bastaaards (146.66 to 70.84).
