The
Decepticons took a serious option on the PQBFL title by beating the
Bros for the second straight week and doing it by two ranks this week
to take over the lead in the standings by one and holding the tie
breaker. This means the BeaudoinBrothers will need to beat Dec by
two spots in week #17 to repeat as champions. The 'Cons pulled
this off despite Big Ben scoring negative points. Gore was the
unlikely hero scoring over 20 pts for the first time of the year at the
most opportune time. D Freeman, Ju Jones, Hopkins, and the Texans
defense each added one TD and Carlos Dunlap sealed the victory on MNF
with 3 sacks.
WaxOnWaxOff played trouble makers by slightly edging the
BeaudoinBrothers and finished 2nd. This pulled Wax even with Old
in 3rd place of the standings which means it's head to head Wax vs Old
in week #17 for 3rd place overall and finish in the top half of the
standings. Stafford was a starter for a rare occasion and
rewarded the coach with 22.75 pts. Wax's RBs had excellent weeks
with L Murray scoring a TD in addition to 117 yards from scrimmage and
D Williams scored 2 TDs with 150+ yards from scrimmage. At WR B
Cooks scored a 71 yard TD which provided most of his 19.5 pts for the
day.
The BeaudoinBrothers tried to salvage a single rank defeat to Dec to
for a face off with Dec in week #17 but could not do it in large part
due to Aaron Rodgers' disastrous game in Arizona. The
BeaudoinBrothers no longer control their own destiny after consecutive
losses to Dec. The suspension to ODB was costly because backup G
Tate did not get the job done and Jeffery was out to injury. With
ODB, surely he would have topped Tate's 6.75 pts and helped Beaud beat
Wax. On defense, Woodson was expected to have a big game during
his home finale but came up with a dud with 2 pts.
FlyingElvis will finish the year in 5th place but did a bit better this
week with 4th place. Brady failed to reach 10 pts for the first
time of the year in a loss to the Jets. Alfred Morris should
never be relied upon as a starter in the PQBFL but his number was
called due to the long lasting injury to M Lynch. Morris only
scored 4 pts. FE's top scorer was Sean Lee with 16.5 pts.
Lee is having himself a decent year with a top 10 LB average and will
likely have a spot on FE's saved team in 2016.
After two wins in three weeks, OldNo7 fell flat with 5th place and less
than 100 pts. Cam Newton was not effective this week in the
Panthers' first loss of the year. Doug Martin fumbled twice, Cobb
was held to 15 receiving yards in the Packers disaster in Arizona,
Antonio Brown did not score in a shocking loss to the Ravens, and
Vinatieri missed an extra point. If it was not enough, the coach
started injured Luiget and Yeldon.
The Admirals nightmare season is approaching its end and Adm finished
last once again, but surprisingly only the first last place since week
#10. The coach outsmarted himself by starting Bridgewater (13.5
pts) instead of Brees (35.25 pts) which was a costly mistake. The
Adm coach will most likely finish dead last in the PQBFL currently with
73.5% coaching efficiency compared to 5th place Wax at 77.9%.
Starting injured Kam Chancellor was not great either, leaving 11 pts on
the bench from M Griffin. And while it would have been gutsy to
start the Cards defense vs the Packers instead of the Broncos defense
at home vs the Bengals without Dalton, the Cards were benched with 34
pts compared to 6.5 pts for the starting Broncos.
