2006 Week #16

In a stunning turn of events, the Spitoons crushed the BeaudoinBrothers by 7 rank-points to overcome a 4 rank-point deficit and turn it into a 3 rank-point lead in the standings . Not even in the Spitoons' wildest dreams did they hope to achieve such a turnaround. The Spitoons are now big favorites to win the league with only one week left. All they have to do is avoid getting beat by three ranks by the BBs, something that happened only twice in 16 weeks this year. If the Spitoons finish 3rd or better, they are the new PQBFL champs. This week, the Spitoons got unexpected help from one of their weakest starters when Derrick Brooks scored a TD on an INT return. M Harrison was the team top scorer with 25.5 pts as he helped the Spitoons to their third win of the season after being benched last week. S Alexander had his best game of the season by far with 23.5 pts, his second best being 16.5 pts in week #12. C Palmer threw two TDs but not to Chad Johnson, which was very important not only for the Spitoons to win, but for the BBs to finish last. Palmer overthrew a wide-open CJ for what would have been an 80-yd TD and again it was the right thing to do for Palmer because the Spitoons did not need those extra points to finish first.

The Dugongs did it! The finished out of the bottom three for the first time since week #1 so they ended their record drought at 14 straight weeks. To celebrate this event, the Dugongs partied all night after the week #16 games . Frank Gore is putting the finishing touches on a great season as he added two more TDs this week and 17 pts. It looks like he will finish 5th best RB in the PQBFL and might very well be the next Dugongs' franchise player because he's the only one who performed this year for the Dugongs. The Dugongs coach has not quit all year despite having a horrible team and he was very alert on Saturday and quickly benched A Brooks after finding out he would not play, and sending D Carr as the starting QB instead. Carr is crap, but he scored a respectable 11 pts this week. Rookie Mike Bell is very up and down, but this week and started and scored 11 pts. The Dugongs should have kept Wimbley in the starting lineup because he scored 17 pts and would have given the Dugongs the win over the Spitoons. The Dugongs will finish last in the standings, but fortunately they are having an improved season end which gives the team some hope about not sucking too bad next year. Only two teams have more rank-points in the last three weeks than the Dugongs: the Decepticons and the Spitoons.

OldNo7 finished third and beat UJ by three rank-points to take over 5th place in the standings and now hold a 1 rank-point lead and the tie-breaker over UJ, so Old must avoid losing by 2 rank-points in week #17 to finish 5th. Franchise player S Jackson exploded for 34 pts this week to move up to 2nd best RB in the PQBFL tied with ass hole Larry Johnson. Nobody expected S Jackson to do this well this season . Rookie R Bush had a rare good game rushing with 126 yds and a TD on the ground. QB McNair recovered quickly from his hand injury to throw 3 TD passes against the shitty Steelers - on the road. OldNo7 would have done better if not for the continued struggle of the team's WRs with Holt and A Johnson scoring 6.5 and 6 pts. Holt and Johnson used to be at the top of the WR rankings but now they are 9th and 10th. RB MB3 can have big games when his team has the lead, but he can be useless when his team is down like this week. He finished the game with only 3 yards and nothing else for a total of zero point.

The Decepticons had a below-average week with 116.5 pts but benefited from others' problems to finish 4th and most importantly beat FE by three rank-points. The 'Cons now lead FE by 2.5 rank-points and unless FE rebounds, the Decepticons will finish the season in third place. Not bad for an expansion team that traded their franchise player early in the season and who also made another trade (C Taylor) to improve their 2007 draft picks . The Eagles defense was the top scorer for Dec this week with 16 pts in a crucial game against the Cowgirls. TE Cooley also had a nice game with 15.5 pts. He has had a decent year as the 7th best TE in the league. The Decepticons made the mistake of benching V Young this week who scored 32 pts compared to Cutler's 14.5 pts. Fortunately it did not cost a rank because Old finished too far ahead, and 14.5 pts from a rookie is still pretty good anyway and was enough to beat Wax. V Young took over the lead in the rookie standings which is a big accomplishment since he did not become the starter until week #4.

WaxOnWaxOff had a so-so week with a 5th place and beat UJ by one rank-point to keep hopes alive of not finishing in 7th place. But Wax trails UJ by 5.5 rank-points so it will be very difficult to finish 6th. Eli Manning threw a 55-yd TD bomb to P Burress early in the game, which was great news for Wax, but Burress did not catch another pass and Manning sucked the rest of the game, finishing with only 74 yds passing - just 19 yds more than the TD pass . What the fuck was that? Manning was supposed to have a great year, was drafted very early (5th round), but has greatly disappointed this year - he's the 11th best QB. Burress can make big plays, but he rarely has games with 6-7 receptions. He's only 13th best WR. Tiki Barber had another bad week with only 6.5 pts. He has been a horrible acquisition for Wax this year, not only mortgaging 2007, but Tiki's average this season is 11.3, barely better than McAllister at 10.7. Wax does not really have a 2nd startable WR after Burress and Re Brown got 4 pts this week. S Merriman was Wax's top player this week with 17 pts. Merriman was on Wax's bench for most of the year and was also suspended for 4 games, but he's been starting recently and he's the league's 3rd best LB. A Winfield also had a big game with 16 pts when he defended 4 passes in addition to 8 tackles, 1 assist, and 1 fumble recovery.

UncleJack slipped to 6th place this week and in the standings with 105.5 pts this week. W Parker went nowhere against the Ravens and he fumbled the ball to finish the game with zero point. The Colts D was awful, awful, awful against the TEXANS. They allowed 27 pts and could not get the Texans' offense off the field all day. They did not get a sack or turnover. Horrible defense. Chances are they won't get very far in the playoffs because the AFC is packed with good teams. Franchise player P Manning did well with the rare opportunities he had on the field with 23.5 pts. Replacement player L Betts scored 20.5 pts this week. It's actually been a very good news for UJ when L Jordan was injured for the year because Betts has scored more points in 5 weeks with UJ (78 pts) than Jordan scored until he was injured in week #11 (50 pts). It is pretty embarrassing when it's good news that your 1st round pick gets injured . UJ's WRs were disappointing again with 7 pts from Boldin and 6 pts from Muhammad. Rookie Dem Williams scored a TD for the second straight week. Williams has done a decent job since Norwood was benched for UJ.

FlyingElvis continues to suck with a 7th place this week and failed to reach 100 pts for the second straight week. The FE coach picked the wrong QB again, with Favre scoring only 3.5 pts while Brady and Rivers scored 17.5 pts and 18.5 pts on the bench. The coach also started an injured RB which they have not used all year - Cedric Houston . Nice try to be creative! WR Steve Smith has been hurt by the absense of Delhomme. Weinke either throws a lot of passes to other Panthers' WRs like in week #14 (61 pass attempts), or he does not throw at all like in week #16 (7 pass attempts). Either way, Smith's stats have not been good. He only has 10 catches for 123 yds and no TD in three weeks with Weinke. Aside from ass hole L Johnson who scored 16 pts, Donnie Edwards was FE's best player with 13 pts. After a slow start, he has done very well and he's now the league's 5th best LB. Driver had a busy game with 9 receptions for 99 yds, but was not able to find the end zone to score. The Jets D had a rare start instead of the Jaguars D and had a decent game against the Dolphins to improve their chances of making the playoffs as a wildcard.

The BeaudoinBrothers' streak of not finishing last is over. After 64 straight weeks, the roof fell on the BB head at the worst possible time, quite possibly fumbling the PQBFL title with only 2 weeks left. This season has been marked by coaching mistakes, and it only makes sense that the BBs lose the title with another crucial mistake in week #16 by benching M Bulger (41.5 pts) and starting Vick who was bothered by a groin injury (0 pt) . The BBs would probably still be favorites to win the league if they had not done this, but instead they only have a remote chance of winning. Everything went wrong for the BBs. LT did not score a TD for the first time in ages, CJ had his first fumble forever and only caught 3 passes, Gates only caught 2 passes, the Bears D was bad since they have nothing to play for anymore, the BBs benched their top scoring LB for the nth time (Tatupu 15 pts on the bench), the BBs started the wrong DB, etc. etc. The BeaudoinBrothers flushed down the toilet a great team with continued coaching mistakes with a coaching efficiency of 58.3% this week, to go down to 78.3% on the season, compared to the Spitoons league-leading 87.5%. It's the only explanation for the BBs not being first because their strength of starters is much better than the Spitoons (159.3 to 148.3). Well, another reason is other PQBFL teams not helping the BBs all year, when the BBs kept beating Spi by only one rank-point, now it's pretty obvious that it could be the difference-maker. If 2 teams don't help the BBs in week #17, the Spitoons will be champions. It could be the 3rd time in 5 years that the BBs finish the season with the most total points but don't win the league (2002, 2003, 2006).

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