PIFF Highlights and All-Stars 08 Week 2

The second week of the PIFF season is over, and scoring around the league is down. It looks like this is a combination of some quarterbacks and running backs under performing, as well as some defenses allowing many points, and toss in Houston and Baltimore not playing and we get a couple of teams barely scoring any points. The upset of the week has to go to the Pillagers who was able to soundly defeat the Fighting Mennonites. Thus making both teams 1-1.

Game of the week from last week: Last week the game to watch was the Maties versus the Kilters, which was the only game between 1-0 teams. It turned out that the chaps from Sparrow Island were able to beat the Scotslandi-ers without too much problems with a final score of 25-7.

Team to raise the sails: The Harbor Coast Red Burns posted a week high score of 33, to bring the make them the highest scoring 1-1 team at 50 points. They have a core of young, high powered players with Adrian Peterson and Jason Campbell, and a defense that looks to actually give the Red Burns some positive points.


Davey Jones Team: It is a tough call for this week, The Eldars scored 3 points, the Kilters 7, and the Steepers 10. However only one team could have been saved by playing better players that were sitting on the bench: the Steepers. After winning week one, the Steepers pulled the semi-effective Jets defense in favor of the porous Dallas D. This move not only cost the team 5 points but also the win.

Brawl of the week: This week all eyes will be on the match up between the Big Red Burns (1-1) and the Pirataly (they want your blood) Vampirates (2-0). The Vampirates have been making their case to be the turn-around team for 2008, while the Red Burns have been posting high scores regularly. The winner of this game will most likely be in a top 4 spot by weeks end.

(I failed to mention how I pick the coach of the week last time. To find the percent I look at points the team scored versus points possible from all player on the team, including players on the bench. The coach of the week played the highest percent of points possible for their team. So for example this week Rusty got as many points as he could have out of his team.)
