Coach Rhodes Week 8 Presser

POSTGAME with Insider-Week 8-Nebula

By L. Wallie
Well we are in the 2nd half of the season and some teams are already booking their tickets to see the Ballistic Bowl from the stands because they have no chance of playing in the game.  So let’s get started with the Nebula Conference week 8 insider.


The 1st game is an out of conference match between Nachman and Zima that has already been covered by the Vintage insider so I see no need to write anything more about it. Winner is Nachman in this game by a wide margin. Final score Nachman 201 Ruskies 167


Next we have another out of conference game between the Pollacks and the Fanatix.

This is a game of 2 teams in completely different situations.  The Pollacks are tied for 1st while the Fanatix are just trying to keep scoring enough points to maybe get lucky and get the blackjack spot.  If we based this game by records it wouldn’t even be close, but I think this is going to be a game that will come down to the last minute.  Shady has to play better than he has at some point this season and this is the week it happens.  But after Welker dropped a dud and Peyton put up nearly 40 this will just be another lose of Fields.  Final score Pollacks 178 Fanatix 157

Next we have another game already covered in the other insider so no need to talk about it.  Winner will be Runners after Sanders went off on Thursday night.  Final score Runners 197 Igama 184

Next up we have the Coalition team going against 3 peat High 50 winner in the Vigilantes.

 

The Coalition team is in trouble in this game.  Julius Thomas put up a whooping 4.3 to pretty much bury the Coalition before the games even start Sunday.  The Vigilantes counter with Olsen who is the highest scoring TE so far this year and will almost certainly outscore Thomas unless he breaks his leg.  McCoy will bounce back this game but it won’t be enough for the low scoring Coalition squad.  Final score Coalition 156 Vigilante 198.

The Viall Vigilante (4-4) returned to reality after winning three straight HI 50 awards. The Standout Coalition (4-4) continue to fight for the Orion division and are now in a first place tie with Igama.

 

Next we have the Billiecats vs the Texas Stars, both of these teams are sitting in last place in their division so is there even a need to really talk about this game???  I guess I will give it a little air time.  They both suck and the Billiecats haven’t even felt the need to set a lineup at press time.  So for that reason alone I say the Stars finally get another win.  Stars 142 Billiecats 137.

Somehow the Psycho Billiecats are at 4-4 and only one game behind the division leader. The Texas Stars (2-4) somehow are still very much alive and in playoff contention. 

The final matchup in this conference is between the Rams and the Money Team.

 

The Money Team might possibly be the worst team in the league this year.  I mean they are starting Tre Mason at RB come on man.  They at least got off to a good start with a solid Thursday performance from Hillman, Allen and Weddle, but this game is still going to be a blowout and over before the 3pm games even start. Final Score Rams 187 Money Team 137.

The Houston Rams set a single game scoring record with the most points recorded since the 2000 season. The record will be documented in the FLEX era category of records. Congrats to the Rams, but something tells me this record will not stand long. The Money team sucks.

POSTGAME with Insider- VINTAGE-WEEK 8

ESFL VINTAGE WEEK 8 
By J. Frost

Here we go, week 8 of the ESFL’s 15 season. We are closing onto the last quarter of regular season action. There is a lot of football left to be played but the playoff picture is starting to take form in this conference. All three division leaders stand at least two games clear and will strive this week to maintain those comfortable division leads. The Boys from Texas round out the current playoff picture and are a very good team. From the camp in Texas Matt was quoted as saying “Ruskies, haha, they ain’t shit”. The Bruisers, Pulverizers, and Crownholder need a ton of work and a ton of luck, but things happen especially in the ESFL. For the Kav’s and Fields teams, nothing needs to be said…On to the previews.

GAME OF THE WEEK 

 

As of the release of this insider Manning Face and the Ruskies are playing a game of cat and mouse. Neither of these squads has verified their team’s current weekly lineup. Over the last 5 games Nachman’s bunch have averaged over 195 points a game where Zima’s have a whopping 165. Pittsburgh defense is awful so expect a huge day from Luck and Forte is playing that soft Pats defense so he will also get his. Zima’s only change is if Rodgers puts up 75.8. Nachman 197 Zima 170.

Nachman MF (6-2) enhanced their playoff opportunities with seven touchdowns and 34 defensive points to take down the Global division leading Zima Ruskies (6-2). The Ruskies battled back on Sunday night but were letdown from a poor Jordy Nelson performance. The MF team continues to prove that rookie head coach Nachman knows the fantasy game.

 

Bruisers need a win bad to stay alive in the playoff hunt in this conference. It’s unfortunate that they have to go up against Frost Flurries. Matt Ryan could produce a big day vs that Lion secondary, which could lead to Julio putting up monster numbers, but where does the rest of the points come from. Peyton will be Peyton and toss ridiculous amounts of TD’s and Ben Tate will secure 25 against that Oakland and Murray runs against the Skins. Frost cruises with ease 202-168.

The Texan bruisers (3-5) lost their fourth straight game and the Frost Flurries (6-2) won their fifth in the past six contest to remain on top in the Appalachian division. The win guarantees the Flurries no worse than a .500 record and a tie for the division crown. The Bruisers on the other hand, once was a team considered the best in the Virginia division, now is looking at a win out situation to take the title.

The Pulverizers have showed bits of having a good team this season but those bits have been far and few between. The Kavs on the other rely on Tony Romo and relying on Tony Romo is always a bad thing in the end. Forte has another great game and Griffen might get another 3 sacks vs the Bucs. Pulverizers 168-Kavs 141

Perdew (4-4) had the running backs and the Kav Kavanators (2-6) have another loss. Perdew continued his drive toward a blackjack playoff spot and kept the heat on the Virginia division leader. Kav played as well as they could, it just isn't good enough when your running backs are dog food.

 



Big playoff implications!!!! While the first four of D’s games were started off with monster scores this squad has cooled off as of late. On the other hand The Boys’s have been on a tear since their 200 point outing that resulted in a loss. Temp’s have a good problem who to start at QB? I don’t think it matters both put up great games and Thomas will score 25 against the Chargers. Crownholders need Jay Cutler to yank his head out of his ass and play, he will against New England and that will help keep it close. But JJ Watt will do something to score again and Temp edges closer to that division title. 189-179

Runners wearing their alternate uniforms this week!
Big game with the battle of division leaders. Both these teams want to maintain course and press the leaders in their conferences to try and win the conference. You will hear the announcers call Luck to Hilton 12 times for 156 yards and 2 scores against Pittsburgh, huge day. WhThe Runners (6-2) continued their consistent offensive output and put away the less than complete Igama Sweaty Palms (4-4). The Runners have a two game lead in the Virginia but have many concerns entering critical bye weeks and late season resting of players possibilities.ile that might seem great for Igama its FANTASTIC for The Runners. Luck, Hilton, and the 2 Steelers that Rhodes has will have big days. Rhodes 211-183

Leaders maintain their pace and Temp pulls a little further from the field in search of that last playoff spot while sneaking up on Zima to try and win the division. Good luck and enjoy Week 8.
