Official Results 2006 Week #10

2006 Week #10

Sorry for the lateness of the week #10 write-up. The Decepticons fumbled but fortunately the BeaudoinBrothers recovered

The BeaudoinBrothers won for the third time in five weeks and moved to within a point of 1st place, the closest they have been to the top all year. Did someone mention that LaDainian Tomlinson is a freakin' animal? Do you know that the BB franchise player has 16 TDs in the last five weeks? That is more TDs than what most RBs will ever get in a full season. That is more TDs that the Raiders and the Bucs have so far this season combined. LT is the main reason for the BB recovery in the last few weeks. LT scored 4 TDs in week #10 to lead the BBs with 33 pts. On SNF, the Bears D and Gibril Wilson secured the win with 16 pts each. The BB WRs did pretty well with 16 pts for H Ward and 14 pts for D-Jax. However, as the BB coaches have done all year, they screwed up on their starters again. For the first time this year, Chad Johnson was benched, and it was the week he went off. CJ scored 40 pts. Fortunately, it did not cost the BBs a rank-point, but it might cost the time in a possible tie-breaker with the Spitoons. The BB coaches did not do better at LB. For the 7th time in 10 weeks, the worst 2 LBs started and the best LB(s) was benched. If anybody tried to do this on purpose, I doubt they would be able to. The BBs should consider themselves very lucky to even be in the race after all the fuck-ups they have made this year.

UncleJack followed up the week #9 win with a 2nd place this week. UJ is the hottest team right now and is only half a rank-point away from the 4th place Decepticons. Nobody has probably noticed, but UJ has finished in the red only once this year, something that only the BBs (zero times) and FE (once) have been able to do. UJ's surge in the last two weeks can be attributed for the most part to RB W Parker who scored a season-high 22 pts last week, and who topped last week's best score with 28.5 pts this week. Parker has moved up to 4th best RB in the league, which is quite a surprise. LB L Fletcher has also been pulling his weight. After his monster 32.5 pt game last week, Fletcher showed that it was not a fluke and he scored 15.5 pts this week. Fletcher leads all defensive players in the league with a 13.9 pt per game average. Franchise player P Manning was partially held in check by the Bills defense and scored 12.5 pts. UJ's coach was very satisfied by the 2nd place given that Manning was not at the top of his game. As was mentioned last week, UJ could surprise many times until the end of the season if the injury bug does not hit because the team's starters are very good, and the weakness in backups might not be a factor with no more bye weeks left.

The Spitoons have had an up-and-down season, but with a 3rd place this week, they took over the lead in the standings with S Alexander still out. This is quite an accomplishment and the Spitoons are now the favorites to win the league with S Alex's return being imminent (although we have been thinking that for a while now). C Dillon has been running out of steam recently so Alexander must return ASAP to carry the Spitoons to victory. Dillon scored 8.5 pts this week, but most of it came on only one run, and he had fewer carries than L Maroney. The Spitoons' leader this week was without any doubt C Palmer with 32.5 pts, which was by far his best game of the year. Palmer's knee has been getting better recently and he is expected to continue to do well in the 2nd half of the year. Rookie A.J. Hawk was a mild disappointment in the first half of the season but he scored 20.5 pts this week, to move within 0.1 pt per week from the top rookie D Ryans (Beaud) this year. AJ is another player that the Spitoons have high hopes on for the remainder of the year and he could be key to bring his team to a first PQBFL championship. Note that this week, the Spitoons were hurt by the benching of Urlacher who was bothered by an injury. The Spitoons only scored 17.5 pts with their four defensive starters, one of the lowest scores of the year.

OldNo7 almost caught the Spitoons on MNF with 15.5 pts from star DL Ju Peppers but came up shorty by 1.5 pts. Peppers had three sacks but only one tackle outside of his three sacks. Old had another eye-popping week on defense with 55 pts from the four defensive starters who all scored double-digits. Rookie Joe Addai also did well with 15 pts and franchise player Steven Jackson led the team with 17 pts. OldNo7 could have done better this week if it was not for bad games from Jon Kitna and Andre Johnson. AJ's worst week this year was 11 pts prior to this week, but he scored half of that in week #10 with only 5.5 pts. Kitna had been doing well since week #3 but he disappointed with only 7.5 pts at home against the 49ers in a losing cause. 2nd round pick Torry Holt did not pull his weight with a mediocre 11.5 pts. Before his bye week, he was lighting up the scoreboard with 17.2 pts per week on average. Since then, in the last three weeks, he has scored only 24 pts for an average of 8 pts per week. He is the main reason OldNo7 is the 3rd worst team in the last four weeks with only 12-rank points. Old was in the hunt for the PQBFL championship after week #6, but now the team is struggling to stay in the first half of the standings. Old is tied with UJ with 43.5 rank-points in 5th place.

The Decepticons slowed down to a 5th place this week and let Old and UJ get closer in the standings but hung on to 4th place by 0.5 rank-point over both teams. D McNabb threw for two long TDs (after the stat correction on the pass to R Brown who never got control and Buckhalter took it in for a score) and a total of 25.5 pts. At RB, the Decepticons are starting to struggle after trading C Taylor to the BBs and T Barber to Wax. Now T Bell is bothered by toe injuries and McGahee is out. Backups J Lewis and T Jones combined for only 16 pts this week. J Walker scored another TD but only caught 2 passes. DB Ronde Barber has been huge for the Decepticons this year and he did well again this week with 19 pts by picking off one pass and getting 4 PDs and one forced fumble. Note that the Decepticons coach screwed up by starting rookie Santonio Holmes instead of regular starter Vince Young. Young scored 12 pts combined to Holmes' 4.5 pts. This cost the team 2 ranks. What was that all about? Rumors are saying that this explains why the Decepticons promised to write the weekly summary by failed to do so as of Saturday night.

FlyingElvis has shown weakness for the second week in a row with a 6th place this week. FE gave up first place to the Spitoons and even fell to third place behind the BeaudoinBrothers, after leading the standings for three straight weeks. The top of the standings is so close that one off week and teams can fall off pretty quickly. For the fourth straight week, out of three healthy QBs, the FE coach chose the worst QB of all (a dumb pig would only have one chance out of 81 to do this ). Starter Brady scored 13.5 pts but backups Favre and Rivers scored 24.5 pts and 29 pts, respectively. FE was dinged up by injuries this week. C Portis was lost for the year when he broke a finger. Because the Skins are not in the race for the playoffs, they chose to shut him down even though he could have come back late in the year. TJ "jackass" Houshmandzadeh get his bell rung after a no-catch and he left the game after 7 receptions for 88 yards. The jackass had his eyes in bean grease after that hit and he was wondering if his grandma ever gave birth to anybody during her lifetime . Long-time underachiever Ben Watson scored 2.5 pts this week. Can you believe that despite the lack of good WRs on the Pats team this year, this loser cannot do better than 9th TE this year? And this year the only time he had a good game (week #8), it did not even help FE get an extra rank-point. Other than that game, his best is 8 pts. You suck inspector Watson! And what about Jonathan Vilma? This guy might not have been mentioned in this column so far this year, but as the first pick of the 4th round, he is sitting at LB14 in the rankings so far. The Jets' change in defensive scheme has totally killed his potential. He's still a very good player, but he's not the one he decides the team defensive scheme.

For the second straight week, the only positive thing we can say about the Dugongs is that they did not finish last. They beat Wax once again. As bad as the Dugongs have been this year, they have beat Wax 4 times in 10 weeks. Frank Gore had a very nice game with a long TD and 173 total yards from scrimmage. But the good news stop right there. The Dugongs suckness continued this week. On defense, M Vrabel scored a big point with an assist against the Jets. Yeah, as the Dugongs GM said during the draft, the Pats are playing a 6-1-4 defense with Vrabel in the middle. That's right. "1" must stand for the number of points Vrabel can score. And what about Adam Archuleta? The Dugongs coach was been very resilient about keeping him in the Dugongs starting lineup. Well, even though Archuleta starts for the Dugongs, it does not mean Archuleta starts for the Redskins! Archu sucks and he was benched on his own NFL team. Like Vrabel, he scored a big point on the scoreboard (on a special teams play since he does not start anymore). But one point is still better than the first pick of the 3rd round (17th overall) Mike Bell. The guy was not even in uniform when the starting RB Tatum Bell has two sprained toes. Mike Bell is going to the hall of fame I tell you If he's ever picked 17th overall in a PQBFL draft, I resign from my PQBFL journalist job, or someone must be drunk during the draft

WaxOnWaxOff. Oh boy. Another team that sucks like a Hoover. After two weeks, everybody was talking about them and how they were huge favorites to win the PQBFL. Here is what was written about Wax after week #2: "A team finished in the top two in weeks #1 and #2 in six of the last seven years. In each of these six instances, that team won the league." Well, I can tell you right now that Wax will not even finish in the top half of the PQBFL standings. And Wax cannot even blame it on injuries. The coach did make a good choice by going with Delhomme at QB (17 pts) instead of E Manning (-5 pts), but so many players on Wax's team stink that it is not possible to finish in 4th place or above. Deion Branch: 4.5 pts. Reggie Brown: 1.5 pt. On the bench: Randy Moss = 1 pt. TE L.J. Smith: 1 pt. Benched: J Wiggins = 0 pt. Rookie Maroney was the biggest tease after his big week #4 game against the Bengals (24.5 pts). In his next five games, he has scored 20 pts. The Pats coach continues to trust C Dillon and he cannot see the light. Dillon is done. Maroney is the future. Whatever, this hurts Wax. T Polamalu got the 5th or 6th concussion of his career last Sunday. He only scored a point and left the game. Wax is now comfortably installed in 7th place, 4.5 rank-points behind UJ and Old. It will be difficult to come out of 7th place for Wax at this point and trading away 2007 draft picks for Tiki Barber now looks like a very foolish trade for someone who is retiring at the end of the year.

Note: sometimes the NFL announces stats changes and according to PQBFL rules, the results are not totally official until Sunday 1pm Eastern.
