Week 6 Recaps

The Come Back Kid

We’ve already seen it happen once this year and we got to see it again this last week. Large, who’s hopes were more dry than Tribble in sniffers row at Scarlett’s while not wearing shoes, came back to win AGAIN on a Monday night. In Week 1 Large came back to beat Brendo by 1.3 points and this week he came back to beat Kruiter by an astonishing 2.3 points. NOBODY, and I mean nobody, even thought Large had a chance to come back and beat Kruiter after we saw C. Kirk catch 2 passes for 2 TDs. But everything changed in 1 play, when Kenyan Drake busted off a 69 yard run and score to take his fantasy total from a solid 15.5pts to a new grand total of 31.4pts thanks to 6.9 points for the rush yards, 6 pts for the TD and the extra 3pts for 150 total rush yards. One, very meaningless run that totaled 15.9pts, helped Large complete probably the greatest comeback in Whackers history.

Two Name Changes, Two Victories

I’m a guy that will try anything and everything to see a desired outcome come to fruition. Hell, if someone could guarantee me a hole-in-one but I’d have to play the entire round naked, I’d probably do it. Small wrench and all. Vachal, also probably a small wrench guy, and I both tried out a new name just to try to turn our misfortunes into fortunes. And this week, by golly, it freaking worked. Both Vachal and I made the name change and found ourselves in the victory column for the first time in weeks. I made the bold statement last week of “y’all are gonna have some tough luck coming your way the rest of the season!!!!” and as of right now, no one can argue any differently.

Week 7 Matchups

Who? Leo (2-4)

vs

Saving Matt Ryan (3-3)

Who? Leo (11) vs. Saving Matt Ryan (9)

Coming off one of the greatest comeback victories in the history of the league Saving Matt Ryan has to be feeling either one of two ways, really fucking lucky or really fucking confident. But his opponent is also coming into this week with the feeling of good fortune. This matchup is already under way with Who? Leo off to an early lead coming from a late tuddy from a guy who is the same height as the owner. SMR, on the other hand, was only able to garner up 8.3pts from his WR and his defense. Not much of a worse feeling than going into the weekend with already having 2 players on your roster having played already and them both putting up duds. Especially when your opponent already has 16.7pts coming from only one of his, very desperate play, players. Can Large mount another comeback and really solidify his name as “The Come Back Kid”? Can Vachs get through this scary week with a victory just in time to get his RB1 back?

TuRd'Z CrEw (3-3)

vs

BK Sizzle (3-3)

TuRd’Z CrEw (8) vs. BK Sizzle (6)

Here I am again. I said I wouldn’t do this to myself anymore but I guess I like torture. I’m writing about TuRd’Z CrEw, after having vowed to not do it because of the childish way he spells his name (stick to your guns, don’t let my bitching change anything). But I have to write about this matchup because the things I’m seeing on the TuRd’Z CrEw side of things are very intriguing. He’s on a skid that we’ve all felt before and is trying desperately to stop the train. Sure, losing 2 in a row happens to the best of us, but when you look at his roster in play for Week 7, you can only grimace and give the ole How I Met Your Mother “Oh Honey” reaction. After losing Nick Chubb a few weeks ago and with Mixon out this week he has to pivot to starting Devonta Freeman and a (questionable to play) Justin Jackson as his RB1 & 2. Oh, and also for the absolute hell of it, he’s throwing in JD Smooches McKissick (not a bad play). One more “oh, and also” moment; Freeman already played and scored a whopping, wait for it, 0.8pts before leaving the game with an ankle injury! BK Sizzle on the other hand, on a bit of a run over the last 4 weeks, is off to a nice little 28.78pt lead with Wentz kicking things off on Thursday night.

Bold Prediction Cotton

Robin's Bold Prediction

Browntown Bruisers is used to cleaning up shit given his 18 kids, but after this last week, the only shit that needed cleaning up was in his own pants. But not this week, no shit cleanup in Aisle 7 for this guy. He’ll watch his 3 RBs run like hell and find the endzone at least 3 times while cashing in on 2 tuddys from the Wallerus and two 100 yard games from both Roberts this week. Simple Jack will try to keep up with his 3 RBs but will watch them barely break a total of 150 yards and only 1 tuddy.

Browntown Bruisers 136-108

Brady's Bold Prediction

After suffering a pre-season injury that many thought could keep him out of the title race, Marky Mark is now healthy and has LA FLAMA BLANCA poised for one of the best runs in Whacker history. Week 7 draws a tough matchup against a very confident My Ball Zach Ertz team led by the leader of the free world and the most famous fly in history. This team could score “millions and millions” of points. This week though, I see a valiant effort but to no avail as DK catches 2 of Russ’ 4 tuddies and Mark’s RB core pays dirt 5 times.

LA FLAMA BLANCA: 141 – 119
