That is the idea!
And there off. Okay week one is in the books and let me start off by saying that I have saved every one of Wil's recaps from last year in a separate folder so I can refer back to them and just doing the standings sheet took me forever to create. Wil, I thought you were amazing before, but now that I had to create it and figure out breakdowns and everything, I have even more respect for the wonderful job you did and I will try my best to make you proud. The one change I did make to the standings sheet is that I've included a column for breakdown across the entire MBBRL. I just thought it would be cool for bragging rights. And now on to the recap:
The commish shows who's in charge
Treff sprinted off the line with the most points in both leagues this week defeating Joe 125-78 despite a big fat 0 from Doug Martin. Stafford and the 49ers D led the way. Joe got great production from his running backs, but not much out of anything else as Rodgers was stifled by the Super Bowl champs and he left 25 points on his bench between Mike Wallace and Martellus Bennett, but it wouldn't have mattered.
Fuzzy is right behind Treff putting up the 2nd most points in both leagues with a 120-100 victory over Barilko. Fuzzy got 85 points out of Luck, Megatron, and J Thomas and that was just too much for Barilko to overcome despite making a great call with Carson Palmer at QB.
The Bandit sneaks out a win over Dilwuff 102-96 behind the awesome power of Matt Bryant's leg and Peyton's arm. Dilwuff could have pulled off the win if they would have just made the obvious choice of Knowshon Moreno over Jamaal Charles. Duh!!
Lefty held off Monkey 97-92 in the closest game of the two leagues behind 60 points from Matt Ryan and Marshawn Lynch. Monkey can however be proud that he started his most optimum lineup since his bench combined for 5 points.
Sam got off to a great start getting 25 from the Texans D and running away from Tlance 95-66. Tlance had an entire team of disappointments led by his 1st and 2nd round draft choice in D Thomas and Dez. He won't stay down for long.
Ram pulled out a hard fought 93-84 victory over TKO getting consistent play across the board and the 0 from Kearse just killed TKO although he still could have pulled off the victory if he had started Spiller instead of Ridley in the flex.
3 of the top 4 scores in the A league were by members of the Athos division. An early division of death?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the B league TK earned a 111-76 victory over Cheeseheads behind the 75 points from Matt Ryan, the 49ers D, and Matt Bryant scoring the most points in the B league even with a 0 out of Doug Martin and Jordan Reed. Cheesehead could have made things more interesting if he would have started Brandin Cooks, Joique Bell, and Kendall Wright, but it still wouldn't have mattered especially after that awesome -4 the Saints D put up. OUCH!!
Steelers beat Obx 110-84 with good games from Big Ben, Rashad Jennings, A.J. Green, and Julius Thomas. Obx had the disappointment that was Jamaal Charles.
BK got the win over SFNL 97-86 and that was with Aaron Rodgers only pulling him 11 points.
Micro defeated Foot 96-71 but Foot could have made things more interesting by starting Terrance West and Steve Smith.
Milk pulled out the win over HaroldSeattle 93-76 whose vaunted Adrian Peterson/Eddie Lacy running back combo combined for 12 points.
Smitty pulled out a win in the lowest scoring game 84-63 over Chef.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, with the first week in the books, the Keepers outscored the Barbarians 1148-1047 for an early 101 point lead. The Barbarians will have to do better than that to send 4 up instead of 2.
I know it's early but I'll put this in here anyway:
Teams to be relagated to the B league: 2 (Tlance 5.5 power ranking, Joe 7.5 power ranking)
Teams moving up: 2 (TK, Steelers)
Teams disappearing into oblivion: 2 (Foot, Chef)
And here are your standings gentleman, good luck to everybody in week 2 and Wil or Treff, please let me know if I screwed any of this up.
("Br" is for breakdown, or what your record would have been facing all other teams in your league each week. The Power Rankings on the right are scored for your W-L Record, breakdown record, and Points For - best in each category gets 12, worst gets 1; these are added together for the total Power Ranking score. Br All is the breakdown against all the teams in both leagues)
