XFL: Week 2

Scores so far after saturdays games:

Rens Rough Necks 21
Heath's Lost Reindeers 14
Damn me for leaving all my points (15) on the bench. And today have started good with my QB already collected -4 points - so I'm in fact down to 10. The discussed trade of QB Tim Lester to Rough Necks is paying of for Ren as Lester scored 18 of his 21 points so far. Got to hope that the rest of my players score some good points or this is gonna be a real bad loss.
Edit: QB Casey Weldon with 2 getting 2 interceptions and a fumble was all the way down at -7 before picking his pace up, and is now at 4 fps. This is way better.

Fadeaway's Killer-Codfish 1
South Central Shadow Smashers 33
A one-sided matchup as QB Maddox has exploded with 32 fps for the Shadow Smashers. Shadow Smashers also have left a 8 fp player on the bench.

Moe's Scrubs turned Stars 31
Summer Song's Extra Crispy Hell Cats 36
Leaving a 17 fp player on the bench can turn crucial for the Hell Cats as Moe's Stars have 31 fp from only 2 players. We have to see what today bring, as the early favorite Hell Cats has had more of his player going yesterday.

Space City Spoilers 16
JD's Maniacal Maniacs 9
Another close matchup can again be decided on who picked vs who not picked. Spoilers left Mike Black (6fps) from his trade with Rough Necks. While Spoilers might have spoiled their chances with the pick the Maniacs did even worse with 2 good scorers for the total of 12 points on the bench but all this will of course be decided when we how the players actually picked does.
Edit: Quincy Jackson scored a TD on a pass from Casey Weldon and has now 7 fps for The Spoilers.

We can reach our destination, but it's still a ways away.

Damn it takes a long time for the results to be official in this league. Although it could be to prevent having to change the official results later as last week. Anyway this is how the results stands as of now. (Last update)

Rens Rough Necks 30 (21)
Heath's Lost Reindeers 34 (14)
A comeback for me with my QB salvaging some of his many mistakes later in the game. I'm not sure this is in the box, as I belive there are some points to be given out still. (I think i miss 1 TD for my team, and if so this could be true for all teams, so this goes down to the wire) If I lose this I will have only myself to blame for leaving a 10 fp scorer and a 5fp scorer on the bench for two players collecting 1fp each. Damn me for leaving all my points (15) on the bench. If we look back on the trade last week between Ren and Space City it was supposed to be a win-win situation for both teams with the Spoilers getting more points from their new players while giving up back up QB Lester. Ren might have given up a lot to get his QB, but Lester is at the moment producing good numbers while other position (the ones he gave up) are more easy to get from waivers. The win for Spoiler would be getting good points from the starters he recived from Rough Necks but as of now it seems that the Spoilers and not the Rough Necks gave up to much as Spoilers staring QB went down, and he is now without a QB. Tough Luck.

Fadeaway's Killer-Codfish 14 (1)
South Central Shadow Smashers 55 (33)
This game is in the box for the Shadow Smashers, mostly on account of QB Maddox 32 points.

Moe's Scrubs turned Stars 44 (31)
Summer Song's Extra Crispy Hell Cats 51 (36)
It looks like the Hell Cats will survive leaving a 17 fp player on the bench but its not in the box yet.

Space City Spoilers 35 (16)
JD's Maniacal Maniacs 19 (9)
The Maniacs was the losing team that put up most fps last week. But going up against the Spoilers (1-0) still left them as underdog for this matchup. Maniacs had all the chance in the world to take this match as Spoilers QB Ryan Clement went down to injury with 0 points this week. The Spoilers also left 6 good fps on the bench in RB Mike Black. But Maniacs chances was ruined by their own QB Marcus Crandell not producing much while adding a fumble to go for -1 fps, but the biggest aspect in this loss was leaving DB Omar Brown on the bench. Brown exploded with 17 points and would as the score is now secured a win if he had been playing for a non scoring defensive player. The 3 defensive players chosen for the Maniacs tallied 4 points. (0, 1 and 3). WR Damon Dunn also produced 8 fp which could have decided this game in the Maniacs favor.

Ok, official scoring is now in... and it might stick this time.

Finals week 2:
Rens Rough Necks 35
Heath's Lost Reindeers 44

Fadeaway's Killer-Codfish 14
South Central Shadow Smashers 55

Moe's Scrubs turned Stars 45
Summer Song's Extra Crispy Hell Cats 55

Space City Spoilers 37
JD's Maniacal Maniacs 16

Matchup week 3:
1. Hell Cats (2-0) vs 4. Spoilers (2-0)
6. Stars(0-2) vs 5. Maniacs (0-2)
3. Lost Reindeers (2-0) vs 2. Shadow Smashers (2-0)
7.Rough Necks(0-2) vs 8. Killer-Codfish (0-2)

Some very interesting matchups.
League leader Hell Cats have put up two good scoring rounds and should be favorites vs the depleted Spoilers. Spoilers would have to hope to get up a starting QB until next weeks games or this could be a too hard of a matchup for them right now.

Stars vs Maniacs I feel is completly open. Stars had good scoring this week, while Maniacs fell through, mainly on part of leaving a 23 fp scorer on the bench. Maniacs should be small favorites due to their depth, but if Stars can keep improving the way they did from week 1 it could go down to the wire.

Another very open match is Lost Reindeers vs Shadow Smashers. Every point in this match could be crucial to earn a win for both teams so management will have a hard time picking their best squad. Lost Reindeers GM have shown a 'talent' for leaving producers on the bench - it is only to hope that it was to save players to top flight matches like these.

Rough Necks and Fadeaway will determine who will be dead last next week as the two worst teams so far match up. Ren have been very active on the waivers and with trades to better his squad, and with the improvement from 5 fp in week 1 to 35 in week 2 I hold him as favorite for the win.
