Week 9 Highlights
- DDT picked up a big win as far as wild card tiebreakers are concerned, beating The Jedi Masters by 22. TJM still leads this series, 5-3, but DDT has outscored them by 10 points in the career matchup.
- SIAP recorded their first division win of the year, dropping Double D by 22 points. This is SIAP’s first win over DD since week 9 of the 2004 season and pulls them to within two in the all-time matchup, led by DD, 6-4.
- Tappa Kegga Day moved into the lead in the East division race with a low-scoring win over Kramerica Industries. The win earned TKD the season sweep of KI (in fact, KI’s only division losses this year have been to TKD), and stretched their overall series lead to 4-2.
- Post Mortem completed a season sweep of The Hip with a convincing 38 point win. PM has won four straight over The Hip and now leads the career matchup, 9-4.
- Hedfullalicker got back into the winning spirit with an 8-point win over Camel Toe, losers of 5 straight. Hedfullalicker was Camel Toe’s lone victim this season, back in week 4. Hed now leads this all-time matchup, 3-2.
- SaaBB rebounded from a tough loss last week to defeat a West division opponent in Turd Ferguson. This was SaaBB’s second straight win over Turd and moves them into the career series lead, 5-4.
- CSPJ notched their second win of the year, beating Winning Beer Money by 9. The win ended a 4-game series win streak for WBM, but WBM still leads all-time, 4-2-1.

Postseason Races
East: The league’s most interesting division race did not gain any clarity this week. Not at all. Four teams are now tied for the division lead at 5-4, and even last-place Double D is only two games out of the division lead. If DD wants any chance at the division crown, they must beat DDT and TKD over the next two weeks.
Central: SaaBB won and TJM lost this week, so this division is starting to look like a non-race. SaaBB’s magic number is 3 meaning any combination of 3 SaaBB wins and TJM losses will hand the Central crown to SaaBB.
West: With a 4-game lead with only 5 games remaining, it would now take a collapse of monumental scale for Post Mortem to not win the West. The race for second place though, should be a good one. Turd Ferguson and Hedfullalicker play this week, with the winner moving into 2nd. Meanwhile, both The Hip and Camel Toe have been mathematically eliminated from division contention.
Wild Card: The wild card spots are as up-for-grabs as the East division. Currently, all of the teams at 5-4 or better would be in the playoffs, but there are a couple of 4-5 teams nipping at their heels. Games between Turd and Hed, Double D and DDT, & TKD and TJM in week 10 will play a big part in the race.
Record Watch
- Post Mortem now owns the mark for best start to a season in PFFL history at 9-0.
- Post Mortem’s 9-game win streak is tied with three other teams for the third longest streak ever in the regular season, and tied with one other team for third longest streak in a single season.
- With 88.43 points this week, Post Mortem also became the first team in PFFL to record 15,000 regular season points. It took 163 games.
- Post Mortem also became the first team in league history to win 100 games overall (regular season + playoffs), doing so in 176 games.
