The Average Joes are having a miserable season after shocking the Panthers in the first week of the season they have gone on to lose 8 consecutive games. If they lose to Ochocinco this Sunday they will tie the Princesses 2008 record of 9 straight losses, but that's not all the 2005 worst record of all time Wil Macabee's Gators in the first year of the GFFL went 3-12 is in jeopardy and could be "topped" by the Joes not to mention the least amount of points in a season record by the Rockets (1,058) in 2008 should also be broken by the Joes. All you can do if you're Josh is take solace in the fact that the former league laughing stock Ducks went all the way to the championship game last year and are in good position at 5-4 to make a run at back to back playoff appearances.
Around the league
East
- If the Rayz can pull off a win tonight against the C.Falcons they will be 8-1 and based on my end projections for the season 8 wins should be an automatic in for the playoffs so if your Tray you turn your attention to trying to sow up the division and get home field advantage throughout.
- The U.Gators are coming on strong having won 4 of their last 5 games and coming off a game they scored 112 points without their franchise player Peterson. They should get to the playoffs easily the only question is can they make a run at the Rayz for the division at 2.5 games back with 5 games to go but they do get a game against the Rayz.
- Two different tales for this post, if the Panthers win tonight to get to 4-5 I have no doubt they will claw their way into the playoffs now if they're 3-6 I still have faith in this team as I think 7 wins will put you in the tiebreaker for a 6 seed this year and I think this team has the talent to go 4-1 or better in their final 5, but its gonna be a whole lot tougher if they don't get this win tonight.
- The A.Joes have already been covered enough but one more tidbit sitting on 27 points with Moreno and Holmes to go its unlikely but they still could set a new scoring low record beating the Ducks 33 points in '06 when we only had 8 starting positions instead of 9.
Central
- Ochocinco at 5-3-1 is the new leader in the Central Division and I don't expect that to change from here to the end of the regular season. While this team has a whole at tightend and their flex play it is still one of the better teams in the league and one with just as much chance to bring home the title as anyone.
- Heels got crushed this past sunday and since their 3-0 start they have crashed to 5-4 and are one of those bubble teams on whether they'll be in or out of the playoffs come December they could take a huge step forward if they can beat the W.Dogz(6-3) this weekend.
- The Ducks got a huge win over the Kings this weekend and I think they will ride Deangelo to back to back playoff appearances as long as they win their gimme games.
- The Purple Cobras won the battle of the terrible teams but hey if they can start scoring 90+ each week if they could win out........nah but I do think this a team that could pull off some upsets that have playoff implications if they keep putting as much into it as they do.
West
- The Mountaineers are 6-3 and all they need to do to create an unbelievably unexpected season is to get lucky twice more, I don't see it happening but I'd love to see them prove me wrong and bring one of the worst rosters in the league into the playoffs.
- If the W.Dogz win tonight and get to 7-2 they will be on their way to their first division title even if they don't I think they get their 1st division title thanks in large part to a guy name Miles but hey once you get in the dance it doesn't matter how you got there just whether you can dance to the finals or not.
- How the mighty have fallen the two time defending champ barring an upset of Taylor Ray tonight will have slipped to 3-5-1 and not having a dominant dominant roster this year I can't see them punching a ticket to the playoffs in any scenario so the championship run ends at 2 barring a miracle.
- The biggest disappointment in the league, with one of the most talented rosters he's ever had and putting more time in it than ever the Kings unless they can win out which based on their bad luck this year is unlikely will miss the playoffs for the 4th consecutive year while this roster definitely has the talent to win out It would be the story of the year if it happened and with a game against the red hot U.Gators who have Peterson going against Detroit the chance could be over before it begins.
So there's your look inside the GFFL as we enter the homestretch of the regular season.
