Week Four Results

The first (of four) months is in the books. The team to beat is South Park; Everyone else is looking up at the Cows. No one is eliminated just yet, but the Lead Farmers are in pretty dire straits, winless on the year. Week Four gave us our first taste of byes- they will mark the rest of the season. Your time at full strength is over! Now it is time to showcase how resourceful each team can be- the war of attrition has begun.



Week 4 Matchups



Phoenix was able to kick HCM City when they were down with their first 200 point game. For a team that invested their second, third, and fourth round picks on WRs, they are getting precious little production from their wideouts; Lucky for the Uprising they had a monst game from their jumbo package, TEs Travis Kelce and Heath Miller each contributing nineteen and change. This was HCM City's best game of the season- just wasn't enough to crack the goose egg in the left column.

The Turbanators shocked the Sasquatch- QB Philip Rivers relieved Aaron Rodgers and managed to engineer some late game heroics. Bit of a quarterback controversy brewing in Indiana- typical hijinks from that franchise. Eddie Royal was a key contributor- the guy certainly makes the most of his targets. Saskatoon had a three man power play, but couldn't exploit it for a W. Certainly a letdown for a contending team.

The JJ Watt effect continues! After winning championships for California and Phoenix in successive years, he's taken his talents to South Beach, where he was the difference in a low scoring affair between Margaritaville and Pawnee, who lose despite an incredible effort from Steve Smith. Each team is on a divergent course: The Parrots fly to 3-1, while the Pacers sink to 1-3.

After a record setting Week 3, the McFlys stunk up the afterglow, scoring the week's worst triple ones. Such is the cruel hand of variance. Oakwood did work anyway, putting together a very nice week to rout Hill Valley. These two teams linked up for a trade a couple of weeks ago, and it paid immediate divedends for the Drivers: DeAndre Hopkins and Fred Jackson combined for over 28 points, while WR Pierre Garcon only managed 4.8 in defeat. Defensive Player of the Week Malcom Jenkins continued his torrid run, picking six and swarming all over the field.

The Cows are a true number one, leading the league in scoring and going undefeated in the season's first month. They ran roughshod over New York, who got out to an early lead on the arm of Manning Jr, who had an elite day in his elder brother's stead. The Cows swallowed two bye weeks in hand and still regurgitated a W- five players went over 20 points in this one. A tough luck loss for NY, who sinks to 1-3 but sit in a respectable 6th on the Power Rankings.

The Massacre has arrived, with the OT rending limbs in the victory over Toronto. RBs Jamaal Charles and Frank Gore gashed LTP for a combined 57.4 points- and Andrew Luck was inhumane as the Offensive Player of the Week. DeMarco Murray counter punched for the Original Canadian Franchise, but it was lost in the flurry of blows, a sound beating leaving each team with even records.

The MooseCrew get their first W, posting the fifth highest score of the week as they took the Swag down a notch. The biggest story from this matchup is the downfall of Terrific Tom Brady, who was at the helm of the Swag's 2012 Victory Parade. He posted a negative score, unheard of throughout his career. His struggles, and the Swag's patience with them, will be the key to their season, now even at 2-2. Manitoba needs bury HCM City next week to gain some traction in the playoff race.

WEEK FOUR OFFENSIVE MVP:
QB Andrew Luck, Oniontown Massacre - 32.42pts
















WEEK FOUR DEFENSIVE MVP:
S Malcolm Jenkins, Oakwood Drivers - 25.15pts
