Playoffs, Rd 1, Recap-2009
The 2009 eSFL playoffs ended last night and with it so did four teams' seasons.
All four Ballistic Bowl bracket games ended with the lower seeded team winning, sending the league into divisional championship week with none of the "big boy's" competing for a title.
In a week 14 estandout intra-divisional classic, Big D squeaked by a tough Fields Fanatix team by a score of 128.70 to 126.58, silencing a partisan crowd of 74,088.
The Big D vs Fanatix game was a nail biting down to the wire squeeker that resulted in a 3 point victory by the D team. They were led with a 31.20 point effort from Ray Rice, who rushed for 166 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, in addition to 53 receiving yards. With his performance, Rice was the number 5 ranked running back for the week. They also got defensive help from Darrelle Revis with an 18.00 point effort.
"We made a statement here today, one that says we are primed for a title, can beat anyone" Big D coach Joel Viall said.
The Fields Fanatix were led by Adrian Wilson with a 25.00 point effort ,8 tackles and 1 interception. Wilson was the number 2 ranked defensive safety for week 14. They also got help from a 17.00 point effort from Bryan Scott for 10 tackles. "Our defense played well enough to win today, offensively it was a real dissapointment. We tip our hats to the Big D team for a great performance" Fields Fanatix coach Bruce Fields said.
Causing further embarrassment, the Fanatix could have scored 152.00 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Bruce Fields left key players like Joe Flacco and his corresponding 20.10 points on the bench. "I struggled with who to start at qb all the way up to gametime, the decision I made was the difference", coach Fields said afterwards.
Big D took advantage of their schedule this week, as their point total would have gone for a loss against 10 out of 10 other potential opponents in week 14. "Sometimes in this league, luck is the mother of all good fortune", coach Viall stated.
This win sends the Big D to the Appalachian Divisional championship versus the expansion Texan Bruisers.
The Texan Bruisers are an early 14.3-point favorite
In the other Appalachian Division Wild Card game, the Texan Bruisers continued their strong late season play with an upset over the top seeded Whitmore Workhorse team by a score of 163.75 to 137.50, silencing a partisan crowd of 71,896.
The Bruisers were led to a 26.25 point victory by a 34.10 point effort from Jamaal Charles, who had 143 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD in addition to 38 receiving yards. With this performance, Charles was the number 2 ranked running back for week 14. They also got help from a 33.25 point effort from Matt Schaub, who tore apart the Workhorse team defense for 365 passing yards and 2 passing TDs.
"We've got the greatest fans in the world, they stuck with us all year and expect to see a huge turnout next week as well", Texan Bruisers coach Chaz Templin said.
Whitmore Workhorse was led by a 33.90 point effort from Peyton Manning, who got 220 passing yards and 4 passing TDs. With this performance, Manning was the number 3 ranked quarterback for week 14. They also got help from a 27.10 point effort from Thomas Jones with 99 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs.
"We didn't match their intensity, couldn't get any running back or wideout points" Whitmore Workhorse coach Whitmore said.
Causing further embarrassment, Whitmore could have scored 171.50 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Whitmore left key players like Keith Bulluck and his corresponding 28.50 points on the bench.
Coming up in week 15, Big D will meet the Texan Bruisers for the Appalachian Division championship, where the Texan Bruisers are an early 14.3-point favorite.
In the Global Division, the D Crownholders upset top seeded Temp's Texas Boy's team by a score of 185.18 to 165.31, extending the winning streak for D Crownholders to 3 games and giving Temp head coach Mathew Templin only his second ever playoff loss in eight games.
The Crownholders were led to their 19.87 point victory by a 44.40 point effort from the beast, Chris Johnson, who had 117 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs in addition to 69 receiving yards. With this performance, Johnson was the number 2 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 14. They also got help from a 26.50 point effort from Brian Dawkins, added 7 tackles and 2 interceptions.
"It was a workman-like effort, our main guy once again proved the value of restricted free agency in this league", D Crownholders coach Jordan Kizima said.
The Temp's Texas Boy's were led by Ryan Grant with a 32.40 point effort and a 20.30 point game from Ricky Williams. "They wanted it more than we did, or the lord of luck wanted them to have it more than us, either way our season is over", Temp's Texas Boy's coach Mathew Templin said.
Temp's Texas Boy's could have scored 217.41 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Mathew Templin left key players like Brian Orakpo and his corresponding 35.50 points on the bench. The biggest coaching error in Templin's history may have cost him this game, as he started the inactive Percy Harvin at wide receiver. Had he used the health Derrick Mason he would have advanced.
The Crownholders move on to the Global Division Championship where they will meet the Frost Furrious Flurries, the Crownholdersare an early 0.1-point underdog.
Frost Furrious Flurries squeaked by a injury riddled Pardue Bruisermakers team by a score of 171.84 to 162.02, silencing a partisan crowd of 74,451.
Frost was led to their 9.82 point victory by a 41.04 point effort from Drew Brees, who got 296 passing yards and 3 passing TDs. With this performance, Brees was the number 4 ranked overall fantasy scorer for week 14. They also got help from a 20.00 point effort from Jay Feely, who snuck past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense for 4 field goals made and 2 extra points. "We snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat," Frost Furrious Flurries coach Jeff Frost said.
Pardue Bruisermakers were helped out in a losing cause by a 33.30 point effort from Adrian Peterson, who had 97 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs in addition to 40 receiving yards. With this performance, Peterson was the number 3 ranked running back for week 14. They also got help from a 27.30 point effort from Dallas Clarkwith 43 receiving yards and 3 receiving TDs. "I tip my hat to them, once again we go home from the playoffs dissapointed" Pardue Bruisermakers coach Ron Pardue said.
Compounding the issue, Pardue Bruisermakers could have scored 180.42 points and earned the win with their best lineup, but Ron Pardue left key players like Chris Jennings and his corresponding 16.30 points on the bench.
Frost Furrious Flurries are at the D Crownholders to decide the Global Division championship in week 15. The D Crownholders are an early 0.1-point underdog.

Playoffs Start With Surprises, 2009
Playoffs Start With Surprises
The start of the 2009 eSFL playoffs provided lot's of excitement and surprises, with more yet to come. The leagues best regular season team has seemingly fallen in the first round to the expansion Texan Bruisers while one of the leagues top coaches has an uphill battle to stay alive. The Temp Texas Boy's will need 60 points from three players if they wish to advance to the next round.
Meanwhile, The Frost Furrious Flurries have all but advanced with a surprising victory over the Pardue Bruisermakers, who continue to struggle in post season play.
Bruce Fields will be rooting for the Cardinals tonight, as he need 30 points from two players if he is to advance and have a chance to redeem himself for last seasons Ballistic bowl loss.
The Gunner Bowl series has the Perdew team smacking the Zima club and sending them to next weeks toilet Bowl game.
The Kav and Boot Hill matchup looks as though it could go either way, currently .10 points seperate the teams. Kav has the advantage with top tier players left and likely will face off against the Pulverizers for a money back shot.

Ballistic Bowl Bracket Busters
Ballistic Bowl Bracket Busters
By Josh Perdew
Welcome to the Ballistic Bowl Playoffs
We have some interesting matchups that include some league veterans, young teams, and a rookie. This has been another great season with some great upsets, a defending champion nearly going winless, and more smack talk than you can imagine. I, for one, am thankful for being in this league and look forward to competing with each of you for many years.
The Bracket is set and here are the matchups:
Big D vs. Fields Fanatix -Appalachian Division
Seven years in the league, six playoff appearances, three division titles, and three trips to the big one. Is it right by saying the best guy never to win the title? Not so fast! In a few weeks, we might be looking into changing the Hall of Fame entry requirements. Fields Fanatix are the most experienced team in the playoffs this year and are lead by Steven Jackson, Brett Favre, and Randy Moss. If these guys play to potential, he will be right back in the Ballistic Bowl finals for a record 4th time. Some folks seem to think Fields is a scrub, a guy who can't win the big game. I think this guy knows what he is doing. He drafts a solid core, picks great waivers and competes every year. This guy will be in the Hall of Fame one day, no doubt about it. Big "D" is a young team with 2 years in the league and 2 straight playoff appearances. He is lead by QB Aaron Rodgers and young RB Ray Rice. He will need outstanding games from both to hold Fields "three headed monster" in check. Rodgers throws for 34 and Rice runs for 29, but its not enough as Favre gets 28, Jackson with 26 and Moss with 22. Fields-167 Big "D"-148
Texan Bruisers vs Whitmore Workhorses-Appalachian Division
A quick congrats to the Texan Bruisers for making the playoffs in their first season. They are lead by studs Matt Schaub and Anquan Boldin. They are facing a Whitmore team that caught fire and has been atop the division all season long. Whitmore has an experienced bunch and one of the best QB's in the league in Peyton Manning. WR's Donald Driver, Chad Ocho, and TJ Housh have contributed to the success all season and I think they will continue and lay a beat down. Manning throws for 43, Ocho with a solid 19, and Housh will be the nail in the Bruisers with his third 100 yard game this season and post a nice 29 point game. In the losing effort, Schaub hits for 38 and Jennings gets 27 but its not enough. Whitmore-197 Texans-184
Frost Furrious Flurries vs Pardue Bruisermakers-Global Division
Frost is trying to prove that his 2007 Ballistic Bowl title was not a fluke. He has struggled against Pardue since joining the league in 2005 with a less than stellar 2-6 record in the regular season and 0-1 post season in the 2008 Gunner Bowl. Pardue is looking to make elite status and win his first Championship after a missed opportunity last season at the Ballistic Bowl playoffs. He did however take the Gunner Bowl. These two teams have never seen each other at this stage and things could get interesting. Frost has rode Brees and Colston the whole year and no surprise this week when they light up the Falcons on the scoreboard. Pardue needs AP to step up big time after a tough loss to the Cardinals. I believe this game will be tight and Frost pulls the upset due to Pardue's QB in backup Chris Redman. Matt Ryan has a foot injury and Pardue looks to be starting Redman, but he has the option to change his lineup and play Chad Henne or David Garrard, but this position will end up costing Pardue the game. Frost's Drew Brees lights it up for 45 points and he advances to the next round. Frost 174-Pardue-163
D Crownholder vs Temp's Texas Boys-Global Division
Congrats to D Crown for his 3rd straight playoff appearances since joining the league. If he wants to advance, he has some serious work ahead of him. He gets a shot to take on Temp's Boys and they have something to prove. As we all know, Temp is an elite in this league with a laundry list of accomplishments that include back to back championships and tons of playoff experience. He has a solid 3-1 record against D Crown, but this is the first meeting in the post season for these guys. This Temp team looks as dominate as ever with great players like Fitzgerald and recent standout Ricky Williams and great defenders as well with MLB Patrick Willis. These boys put up some serious points each week. D Crown will need an outstanding performance from Tom Brady and Chris Johnson to remain in this game. I see Brady dropping a 40 point bomb and Johnson getting 32 and it should be enough to hold off Temp. DCrown pulls the upset of the week and wins. DCrown-179 Temp-174

Gunner Bowl Preview, 2009 round 1
The Gunner Bowl and Ballistic Bowl tourney games have begun with last nights Thursday Night Football on NFL Network. The season has passed quickly once again and the league office has been very busy preparing for next season. But the 2009 season is not complete until a champion has been crowned and there are some very nice matchups around the league to look at.
The 6-7 Perdew Pulverizers, who hope to extend their 3 game winning streak, face off against the 5-8 Zima Ruskies for an opportunity to play in the Gunner Bowl Title Game.
Last week Perdew Pulverizers were led to a victory over the Texan Bruisers by wideout Wes Welker with 26.7 points. The Pulverizers have seemingly corrected their early season woes, albeit they were of the tough luck kind rather than self inflicted ones, to finish with a respectful 6-7 record. Based on projections from FantasySharks.com, the Perdew Pulverizers can expect a 22 point effort from Wes Welker in week 14, who is projected to get 80 receiving yards and 1 receiving TDs. "We have been playing good team football all season, played at a high level all season, but as they say, you are what your record is", Perdew Pulverizers coach Josh Perdew said.
The Zima Ruskies on the other hand, are one of the leagues weakest teams based on stats, but could have made the playoffs with one win in either of their last two games. Unable to get into the Ballistic Bowl playoffs was a devastating blow to ownership and the Gunner Bowl is not where they thought they would be a month ago. Last week in a loss to the Temp Texas Boy's tight end Jason Whitten had one of his best games of the season, a 29.60 point effort. Expect him to only post half that amount this week and the team needed a big performance from wide receiver Santonio Holmes. That didn't happen last night, but he did post a respectful 15.9 points with six catches and 93 yards. "This game is not only for bragging rights, but it's an opportunity to retrieve my league entry fee, and we are fired up about it" Zima Ruskies coach Jesse Kizima said.
This is the first game between these two franchises in their history, and is sure to be a good one.
In the other Gunner Bowl game, the defending Ballistic Bowl champ Boot Hill Balut take on the Kavanators from Kav in a matchup between two last place teams.
Coming up in a week 14 estandout battle, the 3-10 Kav's Kavanators, who hope to end their 3 game losing streak, face off against the 3-10 Boot Hill Balut.
The Kav's Kavanators got a 33.67 point effort from Philip Rivers in a week 13 loss, their eighth of the last nine games played. The team started the season as though they would be a sure contender for a playoff spot, but things began to go downhill in a week five loss to the Whitmore team. Last night tight end Heath Miller posted a very nice 18.5 point score, getting a good start to this weeks games. "We have to crank it up, want our entry fee back" Kav's Kavanators coach Ron Kavanaugh said.
The Boot Hill Balut team has ended the season as one of the hottest teams in the league, averaging 156 points per game over their last five and winning their final two. Injuries and tough luck were a factor in the season never getting started for them until around week 10, but poor manegement certainly played it's part as well. Last week Antonio Gates stepped up with a 24.70 effort, and surprise free agent starter Shaun Ellis posted 17.50 points in their win over the Flurries. We project Boot Hill Balut to geta 23 point effort from him in week 14, and Running back Moreno to get around 80, yes, 80. "We're playing not only for pride, but would be proud to bring a Gunner Bowl trophy into our possession", Boot Hill Balut coach T. Rhodes said.
This is the first game between these two franchises in 2009.
I project Boot Hill and Perdew to play next week in the Gunner Bowl championship game.
The losers of this weeks Gunner Bowl tourney games will play next week in the Toilet Bowl game, a game of Pride. I expect that to be the Zima Ruskies vs the Kavanators.
The 6-7 Perdew Pulverizers, who hope to extend their 3 game winning streak, face off against the 5-8 Zima Ruskies for an opportunity to play in the Gunner Bowl Title Game.
Last week Perdew Pulverizers were led to a victory over the Texan Bruisers by wideout Wes Welker with 26.7 points. The Pulverizers have seemingly corrected their early season woes, albeit they were of the tough luck kind rather than self inflicted ones, to finish with a respectful 6-7 record. Based on projections from FantasySharks.com, the Perdew Pulverizers can expect a 22 point effort from Wes Welker in week 14, who is projected to get 80 receiving yards and 1 receiving TDs. "We have been playing good team football all season, played at a high level all season, but as they say, you are what your record is", Perdew Pulverizers coach Josh Perdew said.
The Zima Ruskies on the other hand, are one of the leagues weakest teams based on stats, but could have made the playoffs with one win in either of their last two games. Unable to get into the Ballistic Bowl playoffs was a devastating blow to ownership and the Gunner Bowl is not where they thought they would be a month ago. Last week in a loss to the Temp Texas Boy's tight end Jason Whitten had one of his best games of the season, a 29.60 point effort. Expect him to only post half that amount this week and the team needed a big performance from wide receiver Santonio Holmes. That didn't happen last night, but he did post a respectful 15.9 points with six catches and 93 yards. "This game is not only for bragging rights, but it's an opportunity to retrieve my league entry fee, and we are fired up about it" Zima Ruskies coach Jesse Kizima said.
This is the first game between these two franchises in their history, and is sure to be a good one.
