Word from the Mouth: Week 9 - It's Too Damn Hot Out Here edition!

Word from the Mouth: Week 9 - It's Too Damn Hot Out Here edition!

Kevin Kousaie

Here we are last week of the season. Last weekend it was way too hot to be out all day in the sun, this weekend it looks to be the same so make sure you stay hydrated we don’t want to see players passing out. So playoffs are almost here, the top 2 teams will get a free pass to the semifinals. That means that any team ranked 3-6 will need to win 3 games to become the champs. Anything can happen when playoffs start, ask any Patriots fan: 16-0 and can’t even beat the Giants. I feel that if we took players from every division and put a team in we could.

 

Week 9 Recap

 

Ninja Turtles vs Les Beautes (50-6)

You have to know it’s going to be a bad day when your first play is a pick 6. It was that type of day for Les Beautes. They couldn’t get anything done offensively. They did manage to get 2 picks, which were the only times they didn’t allow Ninja Turtles to score. Ninja Turtles scored 8 TDs in the game and could only convert on 2 extra points. If a team figures out how to keep the game close that could cost them a game. Wade played great except for those two bad throws that led to picks. He was also so close to 300 yards that if even one of those picks had been completed he would have done it. 

 

Les Panaches vs Gold Rush (12-18)

I am amazed at this score considering the stats. How can a team that completes 32% of their passes for less than 100 yards win the game. I’ll tell you how: they managed to pick off 4 balls and were working on a short field. Gold Rush have a decent defense, I’m not worried about that moving forward, but their offense needs to become more consistent. For Les Panaches it was a tough game that they dominated everywhere but the score. I have say that I love the way Amelie plays QB. That is except for the amount of interceptions she throws. I have seen her throw in many games and I think she is trying to throw over the rusher instead of pumping the ball, side stepping, and throwing into the open passing lane. I spoke with her after the game and she was banged up from what she said was a player running into her knee and forced an incomplete pass on last play with no penalty. I did see that game and can’t say if there was or wasn’t one.

 

Thunder Buddies vs Mustard Tigers (25-0) 

Mustard Tigers were going to be missing players and asked for spares which is fine. Later on in the day decided it was way too hot to come out and decided to forfeit the game. With them forfeiting the game they gave up any shot at making it into the top 2 and only needing to win 2 games to win the title. Thunder Buddies got an easy W without having to do anything and they also got a free bye to the Semifinals.

 

Playoff Scenarios 

- Gold Rush 

Right now they sit in sixth place, with a win this weekend they will finish fifth. There is a chance for a 3 way tie and it would come down to points given up. (ed’s note: nope, win percentage amongst tied teams)

- Les Beautes 

This week they have 2 games this weekend the first one is the big one. Should they win the first game then they will finish fifth with a loss in the first one and a win in the second they will be tied for fifth but do not hold the tie breaker so they would finish sixth. There is a chance for a 3 way tie and it would come down to points given up. (ed’s note: nope, see above)

- Les Panaches

They are in a situation where they need to win and hope for the team they are playing to lose both of their games if they want to get up to third place.  Should they lose there is a chance for a 3 way tie and it would come down to points given up. (ed’s note: you know the drill)

- Mustard Tigers

So how it sits right now they are the 3 seed, a lot can change for them on Saturday. They have two games to play, they need to win one of them to finish third. Should they lose both they will finish forth.

- Thunder Buddies 

If they win this week they will be number 1.

- Ninja Turtles 

All they need to do is win and they will be number 1. 

 

GOTW (Game of the Week)

Les Beautes vs Gold Rush

QB- For Les Beautes Simon has been throwing the last few games and there hasn’t been much improvement for the team. He needs to do what a lot of young inexperienced QBs do which is make one maybe two reads then try to make something happen with his legs and see if he can find someone open when defense tries to coral (ed’s note: corral, I’m assuming) him. Gold Rush has had Nick play all season. He has played decent all season and keeps getting better. He needs to improve on short throws that will keep drives alive. You can’t live on the deep ball on every play. Having seen both of these guys play I have to go and give the advantage to Gold Rush.

 

WR- Travis is the top dog for Gold Rush, Joey isn’t too far behind. These two guys are good for the division and both can make some plays, both can also miss a few easy catches as well. Gold rush needs a third player to step up and help lighten the work load from Joey and Travis. Alex, Jordan and Matt all have potential they just need to figure a way to bring it out. Nicolas is the guy for Les Beautes and it isn’t even close. Nicolas can’t do it all by himself, he needs help. When you look at the players on the roster it looks like help isn’t coming anytime soon. I thought Ben would be able to help out and alleviate some pressure off of Nicolas shoulders. That hasn’t happened so far this season. The advantage has to be given to Gold Rush.

 

Defense- Beautes struggle to get good solid pressure on the opposing QB. They have only managed to get 4 sacks, which is really low.  Nicolas is leading the defense with 2 sacks, 5 picks and 21 tackles. The defense as a whole has only managed to pick off 7 balls and bat 17 away. Those type of numbers won’t get the job done. Gold Rush Might not be a great defense, but they do have one thing going for them and that is rusher Matt. He is one of the top guys in the division and he hasn’t done it all season. Travis is leading the way in picks with 7. The question is would he be leading if Matt wasn’t rushing. The Gold Rush defense revolves around Matt getting pressure and Travis picking the ball off.  Gold Rush has 9 sacks, 1 safety, 14 picks and has batted 22 balls away. Gold Rush is getting the advantage for defense as well.

 

Predictions

Final week for my season predictions and last week we had 3 games only and one of those was a forfeit. I was able to get 2 out of the 3 games. I had picked the team that forfeit to lose so I was still right on that game. At the beginning of the season I wanted to get 75% of my picks right and with last weeks game I am sitting at 73.1% if I am able to go 4 for 4 that will put me above my goal. Let’s get to this weeks picks and remember picks are in bold.

Ninja Turtles vs Thunder Buddies

Mustard Tigers vs Panaches

Beautes vs Gold Rush

Mustard Tigers vs Beautes

Those are my winners so guys help me out and win so I can reach my goal. 

 

Power Rankings 

This is my last week of rankings, since once playoffs start it’s one and done. So there really hasn’t been much change on my list all season long. It’s hard since there are such big gaps between the teams. Some of you guys are learning, playing new positions and others are season vets. So now we will see if you cracked my final top 3 of the year. 

#1) Ninja Turtles

#2) Thunder Buddies

#3) Mustard Tigers 

It stays the same as last week. I’m sure it wasn’t a big surprise to most teams. Remember these are just how I see it. Some of the teams have taken huge steps from the beginning of the season. 

 

Final Thoughts

This week I really hope I get to see the Ninja Turtles vs Thunder buddies game, All week long my son has been saying he is going to shut down Serge and win the game. I really hope to see him try and if he does I will retract my statement at the beginning of the season when I said Serge was by far the best player in our entire league. I know Terry and a few other people are reading this and wondering what is the kid thinking. He is my son and anyone who know me knows I like to talk. Talking is one thing, it’s another to back it up. So let’s see this matchup. Remember have fun, play safe, and playoffs are next week.

(ed's note: The fall season starts on August 17th and it really helps us put the schedule together if you get me your team confirmations and schedule requests before the end of the spring season! If your team is playing in the fall and/or if you have time requests, please let us know by July 28th. The closer to the season start you confirm the less likely we can accommodate time requests!

La saison d'automne commence le 17 août et cela nous aide vraiment à établir le calendrier si vous me recevez les confirmations de votre équipe et les demandes de calendrier avant la fin du printemps! Si votre équipe joue à l'automne et / ou si vous avez du temps, veuillez nous en informer au plus tard le 28 juillet. Plus le début de la saison approche, plus vous confirmez, moins vous serez en mesure de répondre aux demandes de temps!)

 

The first season in division 3 is almost over and the playoffs are going to begin soon. I would say that these last two weeks are your last chance for that final playoff push, but everyone is going to make it with the top two teams getting a bye. No one has secured either of those top two spots. This week there is a big matchup that can decide at least the number two spot. After this week we will have a better idea of what the final standings will look like.

 

Week 8 Recap

 

Les Panaches vs Ninja Turtles (6-33)

This was another dismantling by the Ninja Turtles. They walked all over Les Panaches on both sides of the ball. Wade and Amelie both had the same number of completions, with two totally different outcomes. Wade threw 5 TDs and 1 pick and Amelie threw 1 TD and 5 picks.  Wade got so many big plays out of his team, whether it was going over the top or checking it down short and letting his player make guys miss and get extra yards. Amelie did not get the same sort of production from her team. She needed to check down a lot more since the pressure was on her all day. The shocking thing about this game was the fact that Ninja Turtles ended the game with 6 picks and only ended up with 33 points. All season I was saying Ninja Turtles were the best team by far, that might be true except the last few weeks they haven’t been as dominating and look beatable.

 

Gold Rush vs Team Mustard Tigers (22-46)

This game wasn’t even close. Gold Rush wasn’t able to do anything all game long. I know they put up 22 points, on 3 plays of 45 yards, 45 yards and 44 yards. They were not able to keep a drive going. Yes it was nice putting up 22 points which is great for you guys, but you can’t depend on big plays happening every game. Once you get to playoffs you will be playing a win and move on or loss and go home, so teams will try to take those big plays away. Team Mustard Tigers have their QB back in Brian and he has been doing a fantastic job. The Mustard Tigers are playing where they need to be at this point of the season. The last few weeks Mustard Tigers have been missing players and need to get subs from guys hanging around the field after their games. This week they grabbed Kris, yes Kris is a great player, yes he can make a big impact on the game and normally does, this week he did and it didn’t make a difference in the game. I still feel that the league needs to figure out the substitute situation so guys aren’t playing in divisions they are too strong for. 

 

Thunder Buddies vs Les Beautes (34-0)

This was a very ugly game to sit through. Les Beautes were out matched in this one and that might be putting it lightly. Les Beautes were only able to muster up 37 yards in the entire game. Les Beautes have struggled all season long at the most important position: QB. I thought that Simon was going to take over and just needed a few weeks to get used to it, that didn’t last long as it looks like they went back to Ben. They have two weeks left to figure it out. Thunder Buddies have been dominating teams lately. They are on a four game win streak and during that span have only given up 25 points. Terry is playing great in his first season at QB, he uses his legs to buy time and to find someone open or takes off running. Terry is best when using his legs as it adds another dimension for the defense to defend. This team relies on Terry and those legs on offense, defensively they have all made plays and don’t seem to have any real weak spots. 

 

GOTW (Game of the Week)

Thunder Buddies vs Mustard Tigers  

QB- Terry is a very good QB that is still learning the position. If he wants to elevate his game he needs to become a better passer, he also needs to learn how to read a defense better. He is great at running which helps a new QB. With all that said Terry is more than capable of getting the job done. Brian has played QB for a season and a half and is doing a good job of not turning the ball over. Unlike Terry, Brian is good at reading the defense and finding the open guy. Brian might not be as fast as Terry but he gets the job done. I think that Brian might be a better QB than Terry, that is until you add the running into the equation then Terry wins in a landslide. With that being said Thunder Buddies get the advantage.

 

WR- Thunder Buddies have a good number one guy in David. They have a great center in Mustafa, but then the next receiver is nowhere to be found. They need someone else to step up and become that third guy if they want to win in the playoffs. Mustard Tigers have 5 players that have at least 150 yards each and also have 7 players with over 9 catches. They might not have any one player who really stands out, they just have a flock of players who can catch and make plays. Thunder Buddies might have the best receiver in this game, but Mustard Tigers have a better overall unit. Advantage Mustard Tigers.

 

Defense- Mustard Tigers have managed to get 7 sacks, 17 picks and have returned 3 of those for 6 points. They have also batted 16 balls away. This team is giving up 24 points a game. Those numbers might not jump off the board at you, but they do a good job of tackling and make you earn everything you get. Thunder Buddies are giving up the second least points per game with 14.6. They have the best rusher in the division in Madhav who has 7 of the teams 11 sacks with 3 of them being safeties. As a team they have 24 picks, 3 of those going back for 6. They also do a good job of batting balls away with 22. If I had to take one of these defenses to get me a stop on the last drive of the game I would take Thunder Buddies since I feel they are a stronger unit and that all starts up front with the rusher. So the advantage goes to thunder Buddies.

 

Predictions

Last week we had three games like almost every other week. I haven’t found picking this division too hard. I know it is a new division that will get better as it grows. Last week I was able to pick all 3 games right. That brings my season total to 17 and 6. This week there is one game that I’m not 100% sure of who will win, so I flipped a coin and took my chances. Here are my picks in bold.

 

Ninja Turtles vs Les Beautes

Les Panaches vs Gold Rush

Thunder Buddies vs Mustard Tigers

 

Those are my picks, if you don’t like them go out and prove me wrong or come tell me why I should have picked you team.

 

Power Rankings  

All of the winners from last week have made my top 3 this week. It is late in the year and there is only a few games left to prove that you should be up here. So here are my top 3 for this week.

#1) Ninja Turtles

#2) Thunder Buddies

#3) The Mustard Tigers 

Now that we are at week 9 of the season we all know who the top teams are and this isn’t a surprise to anyone. The top teams have been the top teams for a while now and they could stay this way the rest of the season. There is a big matchup this week between the number 2 and 3 team that could shake things up a little.

 

Final Thoughts 

The season has been interesting to watch and see how players have progressed from week 1. I still feel that at this point it really comes down to four teams playing for the title. I won’t say which ones. I think that if all these teams come back next season it will be a lot better since they will have more experience. With all that said this is still just a game so play safe and have fun.

Word from the Mouth: Week 7 - The Commish is on Vacation edition!

Kevin Kousaie

So we are getting closer and closer to the playoffs. These last few weeks are your team's last chance to get in reps. New teams should take advantage of this and learn what their team is good at. If I was one of these teams I would have already figured it out, but some of you guys haven’t. The big problem with the new teams has been attendance, so it is hard to get to know what players can do if they don’t show up.

 

Week 7 Recap

 

Gold Rush vs Ninja Turtles (14-15) OT

This was one of those games that I never thought I’d end up seeing. Gold Rush isn’t a strong team and they were able to stay with Ninja Turtles who is a very strong team. This is one of those on any given Saturday anyone can win, that is why you always play the game. Gold Rush has been playing better and better every game and might be playing their best football all season. Can they keep improving with a few weeks left? Ninja Turtles started the season as a power house, but after the last few games they no longer look so invincible. I understand that they might have been missing players this weekend, even with that they should have been able to win convincingly. This game was tied at 12 when the final play ended, so we ended up going to overtime. Both teams got their first attempt of a convert, both teams missed their second attempt and both teams made their third attempt. Gold Rush went for one on their third attempt and Ninja Turtles QB Wade decided that they would go for two and end the game one way or another. He ended up throwing it up high to where only his guy can get it, and that is what Joe did hauling it in and winning the game.

 

Les Panaches vs Thunder Buddies (12-21)

This was the type of game I was expecting to see the first time around, not the blowout that we ended up with. This was a great game by both teams and a game that we might end up seeing in a few weeks again in the playoffs. I will say that Panaches were getting frustrated that the refs were missing calls and that things weren’t going in their favour, they need to just ignore the refs and play their game. They are a good team that just needs to focus on the game and not worry about everything else. Thunder Buddies have been playing better than I expected them to all season, they will need to keep playing like this if they want a shot at the title. Terry had a good day throwing the ball and for once a team limited him on his running. Even with that being done he still found a way to pull off the victory. The star of this game has to be JP, the guy caught 1 pass for 20 yards, it was for a TD. That isn’t why he was the star of the game it was because of his defense, 4 picks. I would of (ed's not: 'have') liked to see how JP managed to get those 4 picks and why Amelie kept attacking the same person. This has become one of the better matchups in the division and it should continue on for years to come if both teams keep coming back. 

 

GOTW (Game of the Week)

Les Panaches vs Ninja Turtles

 

QB- So after a few games I was saying that Amelie was most likely the top QB in the division. I’m not sure I can say that anymore, over the last few weeks she has really been struggling. She still has what it takes to be one of the best in the division. I just think she started off so well and everyone else has now caught up with her. I still love the emotion and intensity from her. Don’t worry about the refs and play your game. You can make all the throws needed to win, you just need to work on your decision making cut down on the turnovers and you’re great. Wade is good and has the arm strength to throw from one end to the other. It also helps that he has a great receiver group and gets extra touches with the ball. So the team doesn’t need him to make every throw perfect. Last week when they were missing players he stepped up and got it done. I have a tough choice here if you switch the two QBs around on opposite teams Amelie would be even more dangerous, where I think Wade would struggle more. So with that said I think I have to go and give the advantage to Les Panaches.

 

WR- Ninja Turtles have a few players that aren’t named Serge that can do some damage. Even if you take Serge away from this team they still have five players with at least 100 yards. This is a very dangerous group of players, if you take into account that Serge gets all the attention they always have someone else step up. Les Panaches have the big three in Felix, Thomas, and Justin. I know I have said those names before, what do you want me to say they are the players that Amelie feels comfortable with. These are the players that have made huge plays for this team and they should be able to keep doing it each week. If Amelie can make the right read on every play one of the three will be open every time. I really like the triplets that Panaches has, but I just feel that Ninja Turtles have the better unit as a whole. 

 

Defense- Les Panaches have a very solid defense and everyone knows their roles. They have a good rusher in Guillaume who has 6 sacks on the season, as a team they have 11 total. No one on the team has more than 2 picks, but 3 players have that number to bring the team total to 9. The thing that baffles me a little is that they have managed to batt 24 balls away, normally when you get your hands on that many balls the pick number is higher. Ninja Turtles on the other hand don’t have a great rush they have only managed 6 sacks total, but that isn’t to say they don’t get pressure. This next number is baffling: Serge alone has 11 picks in 5 games. The team has a total of 29 picks and took 5 of those back for 6 points. It doesn’t even matter that they have also batted 29 balls away. So this choice I thought was going to be a little more difficult, then I saw the numbers and it became an easy choice. Ninja Turtles get the advance for defense. 

 

Predictions

Last week we were supposed to have three games but one of those games got moved to another week. Which is fine by me, all that means is that those teams will have to play a doubleheader at a later date. So with only two games being played I was able perfect 2 for 2. That brings me up to 14 and 6. This week we have a total of three games so it’s a little more interesting for me to pick. So here we go my picks are in bold.

 

Les Panaches vs Ninja Turtles

Gold Rush vs The Mustard Tigers

Thunder Buddies vs Les Beautes

 

Power Rankings

Last week with only two games being played I was thinking that I should leave this section alone, then I figured its wasn’t fair to my readers who are wondering if they made my top 3. So I went ahead and made my picks and some might be surprised and others being stunned.

 

#1) Ninja Turtles

#2) Thunder Buddies

#3) The Mustard Tigers

 

When I was thinking of who to put in my top 3 the first two spots were easy. Spot three was the hard choice. I could have gone with a team that lost or a team that didn’t even play, but had a huge win in their last game. As you can see I went with the team that got a huge win the previous week.

 

Final Thoughts 

The race for those top two spots and the bye going into the playoffs might seem like a long ways away, and they are still all up for grabs. It might be unlikely that the top two teams get caught, but if you play hard you have a chance every week. I think the tighter race will come down to third place. It might come down to the last week of the season to see who ends up where. Last, but not least, remember play hard, have fun, enjoy yourself, and don’t get hurt it’s only a game.

Word from the Mouth: Week 7 - Tigers Over Turtles edition!

Word from the Mouth: Week 7 - Tigers Over Turtles edition!

Kevin Kousaie

Here we go back for another read. I hope everyone who has read my articles have enjoyed them. We had a few games that were a little shocking over the weekend. We are also starting to see who the stronger teams are as they start to distinguish themselves from the weaker ones. The whole point of this division was for new players to get a feeling and understanding of the game. You can see the difference in new players from week one to now and if they all keep improving you never know what could happen in the playoffs.

 

Week 6 Recap

Ninja Turtles vs Les Beautes (70-0)

I watched this game firsthand and it wasn’t pretty. Les Beautes have made a change at QB from Ben to Simon. This was the first time Simon has played QB and will take time to get used to it. It wasn’t easy for Simon or Les Beautes they couldn’t get anything going and it also didn’t help that the team they were playing is strong and should probably be playing in division 2. A little past the half way point of the game the players on Les Beautes were ready to throw in the towel. I also had players from Ninja Turtles asking if there was a mercy rule. Second half of the game the Ninja Turtles were taking it easy and trying to conserve energy since they had a second game right after. This was a lopsided game from the start and I think both teams knew it. I have to give it to Les Beautes for playing the entire game.

 

The Mustard Tigers vs Ninja Turtles (37-24)*

So as you can probably see I put an asterisk beside the score so let me explain. First off I don’t want to take anything away from The Mustard Tigers as they played up to their potential. The big thing about this game and the reason for the asterisk is two players, one on each team. Ninja Turtles lost Serge at half time and Shyanne was subbing for Mustard Tigers. At half when Serge left the game was 18-6 for Ninja Turtles and that lead should have been enough to hold onto, but it wasn’t (ed’s note: the game was actually tighter than the score indicated).  In the second half is when Shyanne started to take over the game. So Ninja Turtles lost their best player and Shyanne started to ball out both at the same time that is why I put the asterisk. Don’t get me wrong Mustard Tigers are a solid team but haven’t beaten any of the top teams yet. Ninja Turtles are still the team to beat in my mind. (ed’s note: I refereed this game, and not to take anything away from Shyanne, but I think Kevin is putting way too much of the credit on him and the Tigers really won this as a team)

 

Thunder Buddies vs Gold Rush (33-7)

This was another solid performance from Thunder Buddies offensively, but the defense showed up and laid the hammer down not allowing Gold Rush to do anything. To me the best play of the game was after the QB for Gold Rush was scrambling around and talking thrash to the rusher he throws an incomplete pass and Terry turns to me and goes in as rusher. I asked him what he is doing and he says I’m going to show him after talking trash to my rusher I’m going to sack him. Snap goes off, Terry rushes and with ease pulls the flag for the sack and tells QB to stop talking. This was a tale of two halves: first was tight, second was one sided.

 

GOTW (Game of the Week)

Les Panaches vs Thunder Buddies

So this is a rematch from a few weeks ago except this time is going to be different. Last time Les Panaches were missing their best player and if he is there it is a different game.

 

QB- Amelie is a very good QB except she will need to cut down on the turnovers. She can make every throw and make the right reads when she is on her game. Terry has been learning the position and has taken giant steps from the beginning of the season. If he keeps mixing in the running with the pass then they should be fine. I’m not sure who should be given the advantage here. Amelie is a better passer and Terry is the better runner so it was a tough decision that I had to make and I will give the advantage to Thunder Buddies.

 

WR- Thunder Buddies have two really good receivers in David and Mustafa, but after that they are thin. Someone else has to step up to make it easier for everyone on the team. Les Panaches have a little more than just two guys. They have three in Justin, Thomas, and Felix who can all catch and make a few plays. So the advantage goes to Les Panaches since they have three guys and Thunder Buddies only have two.

 

Defense- Les Panaches defense is decent, but nothing great. They have managed to get 8 sacks and 8 picks and are only giving up 20.7 points a game. The big thing for me is who is the rusher going to be? Thunder Buddies, like Les Panaches, have a question mark around who their rusher is. I think it will end up being Madhav, but I could be wrong. Thunder Buddies have managed to get 9 sacks and 17 picks and they also have 2 safeties and 3 pick 6’s. Their defense is a force to be reckoned with and that is why Thunder Buddies get the advantage. 

 

I think that if everyone shows up we won’t end with a score of 38-6 like last time. This should be a battle for second place and a bye in the first round of the playoffs. I know it might be a little early to be talking about getting a bye, but that is how I see it.

 

Predictions

This past weekend we only had three game and only one was a decent game. I was only able to get 2 out of 3 games which is fine. For my total on the year I am 12 and 6 which isn’t that bad, but getting 2 out of 3 games every week sucks. I need a few more weeks of perfection to reach my goal. Here are this weeks picks in bold.

 

Gold Rush vs Ninja Turtles

Les Panaches vs Thunder Buddies 

Mustard Tigers vs Les Beautes

 

Those are my picks for this week and hopefully I can get them all right this week. Two games should be easy, one was a tough pick.

 

Power Rankings 

Last week we had an upset and was that enough to mix up my top three. Now we will find out if that is going to happen.

#1) Ninja Turtles

#2) Thunder Buddies

#3) Les Panaches 

 

I felt that even with Ninja Turtles getting beat by the Mustard Tigers that it wasn’t enough to get them in. Maybe after another win or two they might be able to creep up onto the list. They will also need to beat a quality opponent. This week we have a big matchup between number two and three so there might be some movement next week depending on the outcome.

 

Final Thoughts

So if nothing else last week proves that anything can happen any time. If you play hard and give it your all you have a chance to pull off a victory. This upcoming week could be a hot one if it stays like this. So remember to play safe, have fun, and drink plenty of fluids.
