DREW BENNETT BOWL
2004 BCFFL PLAYOFFS: PREDATORS def TITANS, 133-120.
This particular playoff game featured a comeback for the ages. The Predators entered Monday night down 120-80 and were facing their 10th playoff elimination in 10 years of BCFFL play. With just Drew Bennett at WR in a match-up against the Chiefs, it seemed highly improbable that Derrick's team would pull off the victory. But 233 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns later, it was a 13-point win for the Predators and a stinging elimination for the Titans. The Predators went on to win their first BCFFL Championship that year.
For the Titans, they learned from their mistake in 2004 and went on to a league best 14-1 record in 2005 and a BCFFL Championship of their own.
For the Predators, they won yet another BCFFL Championship since '04 and for the Titans, times have been tough. So tough, that this year the services of former 3-time champion (Stingrays) John was enlisted to team up with Alex and lead a team through the season. They earned the #2 overall seed by putting together a 5-game winning streak featuring wins over both division leaders and two-time champion Delta Marauders. Now they face history. It's the Drew Bennett Bowl as the team, Frick and Frack (named by Derrick) square off against Derrick's Predators.
The irony is thick 8 years later as the Predators added a "Bennett" to the roster this week in Chicago's Earl Bennett. Meanwhile, Frick and Frack have added the Tennessee Titans DST to theirs. And wouldn't you know it, 8 years later, the Titans have a Monday Night Football game, this time against the Jets. Wonder if they will be able to rack up the 53-points that Titans' WR Drew Bennett put on that Monday night years ago?
The winner of this game moves on to face either two-time champion Shane and the Delta Marauders or the hottest team in the league and this year's #1 seed, the Backdoor Bandits.

___________________________________________
The other semi-final features your defending, reigning, back-to-back champion Delta Marauders as they put it all on the line once again versus the number one seed Backdoor Bandits. In Week 15, the Bandits captured their first $10 weekly prize for the league's highest point total: 190. They are as hot as it gets right now and enter today's game with a 10-point lead over the DMs.
Greg's team features QBs Drew Brees and Tony Romo. Last week's $10 prize was greatly aided by the running power of Adrian Peterson who is having an amazing season in light of his offseason training following knee surgery. Jamaal Charles and Matt Forte round out the running attack. Vincent Jackson has been outstanding in Tampa Bay and Marques Colston makes every Drew Brees touchdown that much sweeter. Dennis Pitta has emerged as a tight end threat in Baltimore and the last two players have had great seasons as well in the Bucs kicker Connor Barth and the Seattle DST. How huge was the 58-0 win the Seahawks put on Arizona last weekend? Did I mention the Bandits had 190-points?
Their opponents are savvy enough to overcome just about any problem and they're facing the loss of their star QB, Robert Griffin III entering this semi-final match-up. What to do? Never overlook the shrewd moves and constant success of our two-time ('10-'11) champion Shane. If anyone can McGyver their way out of a jam like this, it's the Delta Marauders. They have countered the loss of RGIII by adding an extra WR. The rushing attack will feature LeShoure (Detroit) and last week's breakout star for the Giants (50-points in Week 15!) David Wilson.
The four WRs include game changer Victor Cruz, Mike Wallace, Derrius Heyward-Bey, and Roddy White. Vernon Davis hopes to play a big role at tight end for the Niners tonight in New England. David Akers and the Niners DST will be the last chance tonight for the Marauders to secure a spot in the 2012 BCFFL Championship game in Week 16.
