WEEK 11 REVIEW

With two weeks to go in the season, it's now or never for some teams to make their move towards a playoff spot. The Allie-Gators, Delta Marauders, and Parking Thugs all took big steps forward in the hopes of claiming a wild card spot with impressive victories, including the $10 prize for this week's highest total to the AGs.

Meanwhile, the hottest team in the league, and your defending champion, Predators, improved to 9-2 with a showdown victory over the Backdoor Bandits. This is a temporary setback for the Bandits who, at 6-5, are still very much alive for a postseason invitation.

In other other showdown match in the Extra Crispy Division, it appears that the tide has officially turned with The Megatons victory over the Cougars. Tied at 7-4, The Megatons and Cougars have two weeks left to figure out the division winner. The Megatons seem to have a tougher road with the Gators and Marauders, while the Cougars face the Parking Thugs and Houston Fuzz in Weeks 12 and 13.

And now, for a look back at all the action in Week 11 in the BCFFL.

PREDATORS def BACKDOOR BANDITS:

177-110

PREDATORS REPORT:

• Philip Rivers led the way with 39-points in Week on 233 passing yards and 4 TDs in a 177-110 win over the Backdoor Bandits. Peyton Manning was equally impressive with 37-points.
• The breakthrough RB duo of 2010 - Arian Foster and Peyton Hillis - had outstanding performances in Week 11 with 29 and 23 points each, respectively.
• Larry Fitzgerald (19) and the Bears DST (15) rounded out the Predators victory today with contributions of their own.
• Steve Johnson (43), Mike Tolbert (23), and David Garrard (18) had solid outings on the bench for the Predators. This team is deep.

BACKDOOR BANDITS REPORT:

• Once again Michael Vick led the way. He wasn't able to reprise his 70-point effort just under a week ago in Washington. But his 25-point night on 258 passing  yards and a rushing TD were good enough to beat the NY Giants. Matt Cassel had 21-points for KC in victory over Arizona.
• Michael Turner (21) and Chris Johnson (13) had steady performances at RB.
• Malcolm Floyd caught a TD on Monday night against Denver and added 12-points to the Bandits' total.

FINAL TWO GAMES:

PREDATORS (9-2)

• Week 11: The Spoiler (7-4) A win clinches the division for the Predators.
• Week 12: Parking Thugs (4-7)

BACKDOOR BANDITS (6-5)

• Week 11: Gauchos (3-8)
• Week 12: Allie-Gators (4-6-1)

THE MEGATONS def COUGARS:

164-104

THE MEGATONS REPORT:

• The Megatons QBs Matty "Ice" and Drew Brees combined for 635 passing yards and 6 TDs for 65-points. Every team facing The Megatons from this point forward need to be concerned about how to counter these two dominant players at their position.
• The tandem of Miles Austin (20-points) and Dwayne Bowe (30-points) are about as good as it gets this season in the NFL at WR. Once again in Week 11 both superstars were productive, combining for 50-points.
• Knowshon Moreno (19) and Rob Bironas (10) rounded out the scoring effort for The Megatons who now share a tie in first place in the Extra Crispy Division.
• Darren Sproles (27), Robert Meachem (25), and Shaun Hill (24) add great depth to The Megatons bench.

COUGARS REPORT:

• Mark Sanchez was the lone star in Week 11 for the Cougars. The Jets QB had 33-points on 315 passing yards and 3 TDs. He also led his team to another thrilling victory in the waning moments of the game.
• The rest of the squad was just mediocre in Week 11. Eli Manning (15), Calvin Johnson (14), and Chad Ochocinco (12) were good but not great.
• The only miss in Week 11 was the hard-to-figure-out T.J.  Houshmandzadeh (27-points) who had a big day for Baltimore.

FINAL TWO GAMES:

THE MEGATONS (7-4)

• Week 11: Allie-Gators (4-6-1)
• Week 12: Delta Marauders (5-5-1)

COUGARS (7-4)

• Week 11: Parking Thugs (4-7)
• Week 12: Houston Fuzz (2-9)

ALLIE-GATORS def THE SPOILER

216-121

ALLIE-GATORS REPORT:

• Greg Jennings was a star among stars in Week 11 with 45-points on 152 receiving yards and 3 TDs (11, 46, 22). It also helped that Jenning was catching passes from The Spoiler's star QB, Aaron Rodgers, who's 41-point day basically worked out to a 4-0 difference in favor of Jennings.
• Reggie Wayne chipped in 20-points for Indy against New England. 
• Ryan Fitzpatrick (38-points) is among this year's fantasy surprises at QB and the Gators are beginning to reap the rewards. Fitzpatrick helped the Bills score 49-points on Cincinnati in Week 11.
• Fred Jackson (28) is another Buffalo Bill helping the Gators in major ways at RB. Cedric Benson contributed 22-points in the same game for the AGs.
• The Steelers DST (15) and David Akers (13) were also role players in helping the AGs to win this week's $10 prize for the highest total of 216-points.

THE SPOILER REPORT:

• Aaron Rodgers was neutralized by Greg Jennings, 45-41. It's tough when you have to swallow a 300-yard performance and 4 TDs.
• There was not much to support Rodgers for The Spoiler in Week 11. T.O. had 16-points for Cincinnati. Kyle Orton (14-points) had a good first drive against San Diego and that's about it.Rashard Mendenhall (13-points) was not his usual self against Oakland. Jeremy Maclin (12) and LaDainian Tomlinson (10) were also so-so in Week 11.
• The lackluster performance is not inspiring much confidence in The Spoiler locker room. They're going to have to pull it together in Week 12 to keep the Backdoor Bandits from sneaking past them in the standings.

FINAL TWO GAMES:

ALLIE-GATORS (4-6-1)

• Week 11: The Megatons (7-4)
• Week 12: Backdoor Bandits (6-5)

THE SPOILER (7-4)

• Week 11: Predators (9-2) A win clinches the division for the Predators.
• Week 12: Gauchos (3-8)

DELTA MARAUDERS def GAUCHOS

162-124

DELTA MARAUDERS REPORT:

• The DMs are back to .500 with a big win over the Gauchos in Week 11, 162-124.
• "Big" Ben Roethlisberger was as good as it gets in Week 11 with 50-points against Oakland on 275 passing yards and 3 TDs. Apparently picking up Ben early in our draft despite his 4 game suspension at the start of the season has paid off.
• Tom Brady (21) starred in New England's showdown win over Indianapolis.
• Mike Wallace had an outstanding afternoon with 32-points.
• Matt Forte had 17-points on Thursday night in Miami.

GAUCHOS REPORT:

• Matt Hasselbeck was the lone bright spot for the Gauchos in Week 11. Hasselbeck had 25-points on 366 passing yards and a TD for Seattle in defeat to New Orleans.
• Ray Rice (2), the Ravens DST (23) and Matt Bryant (14) contributed in defeat, and there was not much more beyond that.

FINAL TWO GAMES:

DELTA MARAUDERS (5-5-1)

• Week 11: Houston Fuzz (2-9)
• Week 12: The Megatons (7-4)

GAUCHOS (3-8)

• Week 11: Backdoor Bandits (6-5)
• Week 12: The Spoiler (7-4)

PARKING THUGS def HOUSTON FUZZ:
154-92

PARKING THUGS REPORT:

• Santonio Holmes scored the game-winning TD with just seconds on the clock for the second week in a row. Ever since returning from his suspension, Holmes has been outstanding at WR for the Jets. He pitched in 32-points for the Thugs in Week 11 with 126 receiving yards and 2 TDs.
• LeSean McCoy (29-points) was equally impressive on Sunday night against the N.Y. Giants, scoring on a 4th-down run from near midfield in the 3rd quarter.
• BenJarvus Green-Ellis (17-points) and Thomas Jones (23-points) round out the RB trio for the Thugs.
• Josh Freeman had 19-points in a rout of the 49ers.

HOUSTON FUZZ REPORT:

• Joe Flacco (27-points) led the way for the Houston Fuzz in Week 11 with 301 passing yards and a TD.
• Carson Palmer (20) and Braylon Edwards (18) were the other big contributors. There was not much more beyond that in Week 11 for the Fuzz.
• QBs Schaub (18) and Anderson (20) were on the bench, along with Marquest Colston (32) at WR.

FINAL TWO GAMES:

PARKING THUGS (4-7)

• Week 11: Cougars (7-4)
• Week 12: Predators (9-2)

HOUSTON FUZZ (2-9)

• Week 11: Delta Marauders (5-5-1)
