Week 6 Matchups
The Uprising dealt with the Moosecrew with minimal drama, getting to two hundred points with minimal fanfare, behind bye week replacement Hoyer the Destroyer. Manitoba's twin cannons, Jordy and Demaryius provided a full third of their team's output. It will be interesting to see if they move one of them to improve a roster bereft of elite running back talent. Moving Joe Flacco for Russell Wilson backfired in week one, but expect the deal to work longterm.
Indiana came back to stun the Parrots, who got off to a tremendous start by way of Week Six Defensive MVP JJ Watt- Turbanator safety Rashad Johnson all but neutralized Watt's efforts with a monster score of his own. Both QBs were solid as well, which makes TE Julius 'the difference maker' as Vernon Davis has been a dud, injured and ineffective since a fast start in week one. Indiana is 4-2 and has Megatron waiting in the wings- the best is yet to come, once that goliath gets online.
Pawnee pushed their winning streak over the McFlys to two! The Pacers were actually excellent in this one, and will need to continue trending that direction to get into the thick of the playoff race. With Aaron Rodgers at the helm, it will really come down to the team picking the right combination of RBs each week, and moving assets to upgrade their respectable but underpowered WR group. Hill Valley has struggled with a short bench as they make moves looking for a long term payoff. As long as they win 4 out of the next 7, they have a good chance to peak come playoff time.
New York was the best team in the league this week, hearkening back to week one's dominance. The strong week reboots their season at 3-3; Peyton Manning and his pair of downfield playmakers, Randall Cobb and week 6's Offensive MVP TY Hilton mask an offense that is otherwise very pedestrian- not weak, but void of any real difference makers. It didn't matter this week against a ramshackle Saskatoon squad that had been consistent until this week's clunker. We'll examine today's blockbuster and its impact on the Sasquatch going forward in a subsequent post.
California Swag push to an improbably 4-2 with their season's best performance to date. Tom Brady seems to have his mojo working again- he'll need to keep looking like the vintage 2007 model while TE Jimmy Graham is on the shelf, if California is going to lock down a playoff spot early. Oniontown had so much wrong happen in such a short period of time! WR Victor Cruz is irreplaceable in terms of star quality, but the Massacre do have a group of burgeoning talents at WR that could be sneaky adept. Also, with the Jerick McKinnon emerging, they might be at the top of the list in terms of RB trios. At 2-4, the time for OT is now- they have to put some W's together before they lose their season.
Poor, poor Oakwood. The effort is valiant, but stripped down to bare bone, you have to hope for some lucky breaks, and they just haven't gotten any, losing the the Lead Farmers in tight matchup. All things considered, they're trotting out a pretty competitive lineup, but there just doesn't seem to be much under contract replete with trade value. HCM was bound to win sometime, and they did; HCM has a nice starting lineup with little in the way of depth; They'll need their big names to stay healthy and produce big numbers to get out of their hole.
South Park remains undefeated by the hair on their chinny chin chin, defeating former batterymate Toronto with fractions. YEAH, FUCK METRIC! I just googled to make sure Canada uses metric. They do. I'm not going to admit it is way more efficient because, 'MURICA. Stat corrections have already trumpeted one LTP victory this season though, so this one has to be too close for comfort. Should the result stand, the Cows can shift into long term mode if they would like- they ought to clinch a playoff spot in short order- at least one seven win team has always made the playoffs, and an eight win team has never missed them.
WEEK SIX OFFENSIVE MVP:
WR TY Hilton, New York's Finest - 35.80pts
WEEK SIX DEFENSIVE MVP:
DE JJ Watt, Margaritaville Parrots - 38.25pts
