Well here we are and the LA_MERC_ FFL league as reached the final four and today is the first of a two part series featuring an in-depth look at both semi-final match-ups.
Regular Season Champion Legion of Doom (coached by Wetz) hosts the Bayou Bengal’s coached by Drax.
LOD waltzed through the regular season turning in an impressive 12-1 campaign, “frankly I’m surprised we lost one game, Conda’s were brutal, we beat ourselves that week,” strong words from the LA_MERC FFL Coach of the Year Wetz. Meanwhile Drax fought tooth and nail to reach the playoffs with a 6-7 record. “We were mediocre for most of the first 8 weeks of the season, but our narrow win over the Conda’s in week 9 (131-128) really gave us a shot in the arm.” That win started a four game win streak that included back-to-back weeks scoring over 200 points. “ I think it showed the league we are capable of scoring a fu!!cking shi0t-load of points.” “We used some dudes-UP during that run, I mean we dropped 228 on Numbnuts and another 208 on the Bullfrogs, those freaks didn’t know what hit’em; we rocked.”
The two regular season games were won by LOD, “ well that’s the scary part of this weeks match-up, we’ve already whipped a$$ on these guys a couple of times, and we all know beating a team three time is asking a lot. But we want to be both the regular season and the playoff champions, so we can’t let the dirty Bungholes stand in our way.”
The running back tandem of LT and Stephan Jackson, backed up with Frank Gore, Julius Jones and Willis MacGhee, leads LOD. “Really it’s been the strength of our running game that’s led us all year, shi0t if this was a three back league we’d rule even more then we did.” The loss of Darrel Jackson at wideout hurts LOD this week, “Hasselbeck to Jackson has been effective combination for us, losing Jackson effects us at two positions, we’ll just have to overcome it” said Wetz.
The Bungles will have several favorable match-ups this week, including the league leading Ravens defense at home against the inept offense of the Cleveland Browns. “I look for huge points out of that game,” says Drax. “A birth in the Championship Game might come down to that match-up.” Both Quarterbacks are in potential shoot-out games and have good scoring combinations as well. Palmer and Johnson against Indy on Monday Night along with Bree’s and Henderson against the hapless Redskins. “ I like both of these combinations this week, Indy will try to score early and often, forcing Palmer to throw, and Brees has a shot at breaking Marino’s passing yards record, so they should be airing it out against Washington.” Add the fact that both of the Bayou Bengals QB’s will be playing indoors, in December is an added advantage. “ I always plan for the post season, so when I was building my roster I definitely considered playing conditions at playoff time, it was factor in our draft.”
However the one area of weakness in the Bunghole lineup is the running game. At press time the starters looked like Dillon and Rookie Joe Addai, this may prove to be their Achilles heel. “ If we can contain the Palmer to Johnson and Bree’s to Henderson combinations and force Dillon and Addai to beat us, we’ve got a good chance to win,” according to Wetz. “If either or both combination go ape-shi0t we’re toast and our season is over.” LOD counters the strong wideouts of the Bengals with Marvin Harrison, Terry Glenn, and Laveraneus Coles. “ We need a big game from all three to have real chance of winning,” said Wetz.
Potential Game of the Week here, as both teams have QB to Wideout combinations in play. Including LOD’S Romo to Glenn on the road at Atlanta on Saturday. The Monday night match-up will also be interesting, as two of the premier receivers will go head to head with a birth in the LA_MERC Championship Game likely on the line. “I think it will come down to who’s receiver will have the better game Monday night.” Said Drax. “Will Marvin Harrison out play Chad Johnson or vice-versa?” That’s where this game will be won or lost
LOD 177 Bayou Bengel’s 173 in a classic.
Friday, the other game. Which really won't matter as this is likely the Championship Game. :stick
