Murgatron is a very bad man.

| Yeah, if we’re not gonna talk about Drew’s sick grab and walk in score for the tie and then the convert to give them the lead, I guess we can give the credit to Andrew the Spack Slayer (Murgatroyd is too hard to spell).

| Has team Black just put the league on notice?
|
Posted By: At The Hill Posted On: Oct 21st, 2018 Views: 2528
| Don’t know about that, but they definitely made a statement in that they are in the mix. Great game was black and white. Two vet QBs dualing it out with many vets playing good football.. good d and better o. Hoping for more games like that in the playoff.

| So Noah dominates, Murgatroyd dominates, and team black dominates. They are for real, and they have just turned their pool into something very exciting to watch. I don’t think this league has ever seen a #1 seed vs #8 seed upset. Does a team white loss now drop them in the power rankings? And does that make team Red #1?

| I tried to catch Spack after the game, and asked him how this loss compares to 2017 when he lost to a #7 seed. His only words were: “I can’t believe you asked me that Erin!”
It strikes an eerie resemblance to last year when he lost out on the semis due to three teams finishing at 2-1 in their pool. CB and silver are now on notice because he’s sure to come out with the guns blazin in the next two games.

Like a chef tastes his dish before serving, you need to know when your hat throwing lacks flavour. And just like a chef grinds a little pepper, sprinkles some coriander leaves, or adds a dash of lime juice, you need to spice up your hat throwing too.
Take a page from Tim who threw his hat twice in a single game. Once at Jelani, and a second time at Dave Z. Those were sidearm throws while on the run. Or you could wear a top hat and throw it like a frisbee to one of the dogs on the sideline. Perhaps even wear a hobbit hat and throw it at a Clarkin for crashing the drone. Regardless - you need to step up your hat throwing game.

| Red will go 3-0. The only question is whether orange can beat blue this weekend. If Mike can pull off the upset, he will get 2nd seed.
Both White and Black will win out, setting up:
Red vs White
Blue (small chance Orange is here ) vs Black
Red vs Blue in finals where Tank and Z go at it again.
This time Tank gets the W.

| There will be a memorial service this weekend at the 15 yard line of the south field at Henry St High School for Franks hat. It is sad to say it could not survive the impact of hitting the ground. If anyone has any spare hats, please bring them to the service.
Sincerely,
Innocent Hats

I chuckled for a good minute at that meme. Thanks for the support. I would appreciate hats that can take a solid throwing.
@Rankings
I'm not going to go into too much detail about your list because of reasons, but I have to say that the best 3rd rounder has to be Bryce Meertens. First year in the league, the guy has hands that not many rookies show. He has been extremely consistent, makes acrobatic catches, is constantly open, and most importantly, his defense has not only improved vastly, but he makes plays on the ball regularly.

| @ Tank
I guess last year meant nothing to you. We were almost perfect! I agree with you though Bryce should be a top pick next year for sure.

| Ahhhhhhhhh This is the Herd!
Wherever you may be and however you may be listening, we are live in Los Angeles, I-Heart-radio, fox sports radio, and on FS1. The Herd is sponsored by Zip Recruiter!
Joy Taylor is joining me on a Tuesday.
Playoffs!!?! Not a game, not a game, we talking about playoffs!?!?!
We got a lot in store today so Let’s start with this:
A segment we like to call “Where Colin was Right, Where Colin was Wrong” Or mostly, where colin was wrong!!
Black vs White
Upset of the year potentially?? Hardly, preseason people would have had this a pickem matchup but the unexpected poor play from black during the regular season had this as a huge mismatch, which it wasn’t. Black is a strong team when they decide to play well and many on the team were on last years finals team who are out for vengeance. White was stunned as they have had a cake walk all year, other than losing to RB without Spack. White finally got a good matchup and didn’t pull it off. Time to hike up their boot and focus on CB. Got this game wrong badly.
Silver vs CB
On paper this matchup was a close one with many jumping on CB as their offence had been clicking lately. Hard to sleep on silver with a potent offense as well and some top level talents in their top picks. Kyle is gaining confidence every week. CB needs to rally to avoid missing the Semi’s. A close loss should fire up CB and wake them up not to take anyone lightly as they may have been looking ahead to this weeks game vs White. Silver’s win should remind them that regular season meant nothing and they have a shot to make the semis this year (Not sure I think they have a title shot, sorry silver). Got this game wrong.
RB Vs Coal
Wow coal is loaded with atheltes but just cant put it all together. I picked this to be a close game. It wasn’t. Never close, RB comes to play come playoff time. Coal is in disarray and questioning their inability to win games with all their talent. Feels like the Gaints team this year, loaded with athletes but cant finish games. Coal seems toilet bowl bound, RB train keeps rolling. Got this game right but thought it would be much closer.
Red vs Orange
Picked this to be a close game. Little did I know, Red was out for vengeance after losing to orange earlier in the season. Orange can make the no Griogio excuse but hard to make that excuse when you know at the draft his sktchy attendance record. Red looks like they are a well-oiled machine getting ready for the finals. Orange is in danger of missing the semi’s if they cant win this week vs RB. Tough draw for orange with 2 top teams in their pool. Red has a bye this weak vs Coal, prove me wrong coal.
This weeks Blazing Four!
Silver vs Black
Excited to watch this matchup. Both teams undefeated in the playoffs and have their sights on the semi finals. Both teams would love to eliminate team white and move on. Black has the experience and the exceptional victory under their belt. Silver is playing with house money as they did not expect to have a shot. I think Silver comes out and plays a little tighter than last week and nerves may creep in as they may be looking ahead. Black is all business come playoff time and their top picks are taking over. Silver needs to figure out a way to stop the black attack. I think team black will figure out a way to stop Jordy and Nick and thus shut down team silver. I hope someone on team silver can step up and prove me wrong. Black wins a closer game than one may think. 36-28 ONE PLAY
RB vs Orange
Orange’s season is potentially on the line here, RB may be feeling the same way as they have little hope of beating the Red Ferrari team. These two teams just matched up a couple weeks ago and it was a barn burner with RB unable to stop Neeraj, Giogio and company. Where as RB struggled early to score but then came up with second half glory as usual. Will their slow starts finally catch up to them? Surely they cannot keep the comebacks rolling like the patriots? It is hard to beat the same team twice in a season let alone a team fighting for survival and only a 1 week break in between. That being said, I think Orange doesn’t match up well on D with RB when RB uses all their receivers. RB just needs to find a way to shut down the top dogs. Orange may pull out the heroics here and prove me wrong but I think the pressure hurts their ability to play loose and they over think plays. RB wins another close game with a late comeback 32-26.
Red vs Coal
Bye week for Red? Or can coal step up. On paper Coal actually may have a deeper roster and excellent top end talent. However frustration may be seeping in and perhaps perseverance is waning for this team like a waning gibbous moon. Coal may blame their QB at times, but their D has been atrocious and they need to answer for themselves and step up and stop a team first, perhaps try not showing your D and disguise it? Red’s offence will be tough enough to stop if you show your defense. Red’s D however is just as scary with ball hawks all over the field. Blow out here, hopefully Coal can prove me wrong and show up, Red wins 56-8.
White vs CB
Last year Dylan beat Spack in week one didn’t he? Can he pull it off again, This year the expectations are higher for CB than it was for team black last year and team black this year for that matter. White will come out with something to prove, although most are unfamiliar with this spot as they are facing adversity in the playoffs. This may be a high scoring game. Dylan will find ways to make plays. However, I cant see the CB defense stopping many team white drives unless weather is a factor. If weather is a factor, CB could pull off the upset with a stronger arm QB. Both teams need a win badly to avoid potential elimination and their hopes crushed. White gets it done and still has a shot at the title despite last weeks wakeup call.

| White was missing Alex, their lockdown corner, against Black which might have swung the game in White's favour. When he returns against CB do not expect another 40 burger put up against White.

Posted By: LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL Posted On: Oct 25th, 2018 Views: 2030
| Hot take: Orange upsets Royal Blue this week! With Giorgio expected to return, we should be seeing Dave doubled all game and a stout orange team swamping the rest of Blue's receivers. This game will be much lower scoring than their first matchup but Orange will pull away!

| Hello Again Playoff fans!!
Well some (Black) surprise wins last week. Everyone looked good as we started the Playoffs still anyone's Championship.
Let's get to it
Kyle (Silver) vs Noah (Black)
Game of the Week!
Kyle looking good last week Vs a what I would say a tough CB team that could still take out White and Black. Team silver seems to be on a mission and this week Vs Black who surprised White (without Alex) with a 1 point win. Talk about ONE PLAY!! Black looking solid I would normally expect a repeat of regular season but I have a feeling Silver won't take this game lightly
Silver by ONE PLAY!
Jelani (Royal Blue) vs Hadden Jr (Orange)
RB taking control of last week game early and sailed to an easy W. Orange putting up a fight but could not find the End zone vs Red. Orange could upset RB with a last minute FG. This game is anyone's however i'm going with the favourite
RB By ONE PLAY!!
Matt (Red) vs Tim (Coal Grey)
The Red train is not stopping for anyone!! Grey is no different. Red Raffy showing that he can dominate this league. Grey still trying to find their mojo! This would be the last game Grey would have to turn it around. Heck they beat black badly and Black beat White so you never know!! Not tomorrow !!
Red by more than ONE PLAY!!!
Spackman (White) vs Dylan (Carolina Blue)
Both had tough losses last week!! Yes i'm a CB fan and would love to see them in the Championship. But this team is playing a very motivated White. Im cheering for CB but without TJ this will be tough!!
Maybe White will be missing Alex and you can squeak out a W. But I have to go with White. GO CB!!
White by ONE PLAY!!
Be safe out there have fun and remember It all comes down to that ONE PLAY!!!
