PIFF Highlights and All-Stars 08 Week 8

Week 8 saw the end of the Vampirates undefeated run, which allowed the rest of the lead teams to get one step closer to the top of the pack.

Game of the week from last week: Davin's Pillagers went on to win their 7th game in a row as they win over the Red Burns from Harbor Coast. With Pirataly's loss this places the Pillagers tied with the best record at 7-1.

Team to raise the sails: The Snotvia Snotknockers were the only team to reach in the 30s this week, and they almost scored 40. They were able to stop their three game slide and are now only half a game out of a Championship Playoff spot.




Davey Jones Team: The Berry Isle Rum Runners once again are struck down by their defense. This week the Cincinnati Bengals allowed 35 points which sunk the Rum Runners chances, and left the team drinking grog in the galley.

Brawl of the week: Week 9 has two huge games, so there are two games of the week. The first is the 7-1 Vampirates playing the 5-2-1 Rebels. Both teams are in the top four and both need a win to keep pace with the lead group. The other huge game is the 7-1 Pillagers taking on the 6-2 Maties in another matchup between top 4 teams. The winner of this game will have a fair lead on the rest of the field going around the final bend of the season.

PIFF Highlights and All-Stars 08 Week 7

*I will post this each week in the comments section on the Yahoo league page, and I will also post it at http://pirateislandsff.blogspot.com/ *

With week 7 coming to a close we pass the halfway mark in the PIFF regular season. The league has one remaining undefeated team, the Vampirates, and one team with no wins, the Rum Runners, who find a new heart breaking way to lose each week. The rest of the teams form a tight pack that is fighting for playoff spots as we go into the second half of the season.

Game of the week from last week: The game of the week lived up to its name as the Plankers were able to fight their way to a tie with the Red Burns during the Monday Night Football game. The Plankers are sure to give Cassel a raise after his performance.

Team to raise the sails: Ending the first half of the season with only one undefeated team means that the Priataly Vampirates will gain the honors this week. They are keeping one game ahead of the juggernaut Pillagers, and look to be the easy pick to make it into the Championship Playoffs.


Davey Jones Team: The Ninja Isle Eldars were able to squeak out a close one this week. No, it wasn't for a win, they were barely able to get positive points.

Brawl of the week: The number one scoring offense plays the number five offense this week when the Pillagers come rolling into Harbor Coast to face the men with the Red Burns. The Red Burns are one game out of a Championship playoff spot, while the Pillagers needs to continue to roll to keep up with the Vampirates. Should be a good one.

PIFF Highlights and All-Stars 08 Week 6

The point totals were up in the 6th week of PIFF. No team scored less than 10 points and most teams scored in the 20s. I think everyone is starting to get an idea about which defenses are good, and which ones will give up alot of points.

Game of the week from last week: The Pillagers made things interesting when they played the Rebels in the game of the week. Going into Monday Night Football the game was even, with the Pillagers only having B. Edwards and the Cleveland DEF to play. Davin showed that he know what he was doing playing Cleveland's porous DEF against the Super Bowl Champions, as they surprisingly propelled him to a victory.

Team to raise the sails: Since I need to spread the love around, I won't mention that Davin's Burning and Pillaging has got him the high score again this week. Instead this week's team on the rise is the Scotslandi (they wear) Kilters who pulled out a 100% efficiency rating, to get them up to a 3-3 record. There is a long way to go for them to make the Championship Playoffs, but they are headed in the right direction.


Davey Jones Team: The Mean Green Snotknockers posted a low score of 10 points this week to drop them to 4-2 for the year. It is too early to press the panic button right now, but it looks like injuries are starting to take a toll on Snotvia's finest.

Brawl of the week: This one is close, but I am going to say that the match up between the 3-3 Harbor Coast Red Burns and the 2-3-1 Takawokonia Plankers will be the best game for next week. With a win either team would be in striking distance of the lead pack, however a loss for either team would throw them back into the pile of sub-par teams.

PIFF Highlights and All-Stars 08 Week 5

Week 5 turned out to be full of close and intriguing games. The Sparrow Island Maties relied on DB A. Winfield to win them the game on Monday Night Football. The coaches for both the Pillagers and the Plankers played their optimum lineup in their game, and the game of the week left only one undefeated team.

Game of the week from last week: The big game from week five was the Pirataly Vampirates versus the Mean Green Snotvia Snotknockers. Both teams came into the game undefeated, but the Vampirates was able to win the game by a couple of points. The Vampirates are now 5-0, The Snotknockers fall into the leading pack with a record of 4-1.

Team to raise the sails: Although the Pillagers are 4-1 they are starting to gain steam. They posted the high score for the week again, and it seems like it doesn't matter which players are in the game -all of them produce. The Pillagers lost to the Vampirates in week one, and will be looking forward to week 14 for revenge.



Davey Jones Team: The Ambersandia Golden Squiggles struggled this week to post 0 points. Despite K. Orton's better than average week the Buffalo Defense allowed an impressive 41 points against the Arizona Cardnals, that deficit was too difficult for the &s to overcome.

Brawl of the week: No pairing this week screams out to pay attention to, but the dominant Svinksland Pillagers will be heading over to the perennial powerhouse Kreplachistan Rebels to duke it out. The Rebels needs the win to get into the top four, while the Pillagers needs too keep pace with the Vampirates.
