A blowout, a close high-scoring matchup, a close low-scoring matchup, and an upset or two highlighted the action in week 7.
Week 7 Highlights
- In a game matching up the 2nd and 3rd highest scorers of the week, Hedfullalicker extended their win streak to 6 games by beating Camel Toe, who unfortunately falls to 2-5 on the year. This is Hed’s 3rd straight win over Toe in their series
- Despite being massive underdogs coming into this game, Turd Ferguson notched their first win of the year by upsetting SIAP. SIAP still leads this matchup 12-8, but has dropped two in a row to Turd.
- In stunningly lopsided fashion (as in, this game was about as interesting as Saints-Colts), Post Mortem cruised past Winning Beer Money. WBM still leads the all-time matchup 8-5.
- Kramerica kept pace with Hedfullalicker for best record in the league, by handing Tappa Kegga Day their second loss of the season. This is Kramerica’s 5th straight win this year, and their first victory over TKD since the 2007 playoffs. It’s their first regular season win over TKD since their first meeting in 2002. TKD still leads the series 6-3.
- CSPJ continued their recent dominance of The Jedi Masters, winning their 4th straight in the series to take a 6-4 all-time lead. It’s also CSPJ’s 2nd win in a row this season, improving their record to 3-4, the same as TJM.
- Duany Duany Tanning’s disappointing season continued, as they fell to 1-6 after losing to 4-3 The Hip. It’s The Hip’s 2nd straight win in the career matchup, which they lead with a 10-7 mark.
- We already discussed the matchup of the 2nd and 3rd highest scoring teams of the week. Well, now we can talk about the matchup between the 2nd and 3rd lowest scorers of the week. Sharp as a Bowling Ball handed Double D its second loss of the year in a 58.7 – 56.5 thriller. This all-time matchup is now tied at 4 wins each.
Week 7 Records/Milestones
- Winning Beer Money’s 31.23 points this week is not the lowest ever in a game (Co-Cheese has that honor with 18 points in 1998). In fact, it’s only the 11th lowest all-time. However, it is the lowest point total in almost 8 years, since WNFL posted 29 points in week 11 of the 2003 season.
- The 95.85 point victory margin in the Post Mortem – WBM game is the third largest blowout in PFFL history. Post Mortem now holds 3 of the top 5 spots on that list, but hasn’t come close to The Jedi Master’s 123.34 point blowout of The Hip in 2007.
- Turd Ferguson’s 8-game losing streak dating back to last season has come to a conclusion and will sit firmly tied for 3rd longest futility streak.
- Similarly, Turd’s 0-6 start will remain tied for worst start to a season ever with The Hip (1997) and DDT (2003)
- Double D’s loss this week was their 50th ever in the regular season. They are the 14th member of that club, but have the honor of taking the most time to get to 50 losses, at 119 games.
- Tappa Kegga Day became the 6th team in PFFL history to record 100 losses in all games (heavily aided by frequent postseason appearances)
- Post Mortem’s win over WBM is only the 6th 90+ point win in PFFL history
- Arian Foster’s 47.4 point outburst this week ranks as the 7th most points scored by a player, and 5th most by a RB in the PFFL stats era.
- SaaBB’s narrow victory over DD this week prevented them from losing their 100th regular season game — that milestone celebration is on hold for at least one more week.
- Post Mortem and Double D are locked in a dogfight for best regular season winning percentage among active clubs. DD leads with a 0.580 mark, but Post Mortem is now up to 0.579.
- SIAP is a lock to become the first team in PFFL history to score 20,000 overall (including playoffs) points, as long as they score 2.49 in week 8. Post Mortem could join them in that club with a 80.13 point showing.
- Post Mortem’s high point total this week runs their league leading career total to 21.5 and extends their advantage over second place SIAP to 1.5. Despite leading the league in the category, it is Mortem’s first high point week since 2009
PFFL Survivor – Week 7
The competitors in the week’s meeting of high and low scorers are no longer competing in Survivor, so it came down to those aforementioned 2nd-3rd high-low scoring matchups to provide the Survivor intrigue. Hedfullalicker’s win over last week’s immunity winner Camel Toe gives Hed immunity going into week 8. Meanwhile, not only did Double D lose to the team eliminated from the island last week, but they themselves got the boot. Only 7 teams remain, who will be voted out next?
Immunity: Hedfullalicker
Eliminated: Double D
At the Halfway Point
Some highlights and a very very very early playoff picture as we sit at the halfway point of the season.
- Hedfullalicker and Kramerica sit on top of the East division with matching, league-leading 6-1 records. They will square off twice in the second half, starting with a week 8 battle that will finally establish a front runner in the division. Interestingly, both teams’ loss came in the division, to the Jedi Masters, who are only 3-4.
- Double D and Tappa Kegga Day lead their respective divisions with 5-2 records. However, both of those leads are only 1 game.
- At the other end of the spectrum, DDT and Turd are only 1-6. But, that’s only 2 wins off the pace for the final playoff spot, so they still have time to make a run
