Week 6: Ricker Could Just Kick Himself...

"Hmm... Brian doesn't seem to be answering. Oh well. I hope he finds out about Elam..."

Ricker was one yard away from a huge upset of Wallace. However, he has no one to blame but himself. Had he done his homework, he would have known that Jason Elam was injured and would not play. Virtually any old "rent-a-kicker" would made up the difference in the 40-37 loss. Instead the result was a colossal boner, and not the first involving Elam and Wallace. But a much better result for Wallace.

Nomination for the performance of the year: Kordell Stewart, week 6 vs Baltimore: 31 points and Wallace needed everyone of them. Ricker put on a spirited challenge. Gary Brown ran wild and scored his first touchdown since 1994. Antonio Freeman held onto the ball for two scores and the Green Bay D brought one back. Elway scored on a short run and heaved a bomb to Rod Smith who got tackled on the one. So close...and then there was the aforementioned kicker boner.

How the mighty have fallen. Best lit up the league the first three weeks, and has now lost the last three weeks. He still leads the league in scoring and has the top QB, receiver and kicker. Barry scored virtually all his points in the second quarters of the Sunday 1:00 games. Ricky Watters, who personally likes to burn bridges, treated one of his former owners roughly with two TDs.

At last, a nice weekend in the Jackson household. Calvin won. Will and Joy found their Daddy in a good mood for the first time since week 1. Will(ie) Jackson even caught a one of the three TD passes from Calvin's Jacksonville QB. Terry Allen, and Eddie George crossed the goal line for the first time in weeks and Dorsey Levens chipped in his usual bonus point.

Gates, aka the Lion King, got limited production from his Detroit trio, and dropped his second straight game.



38 TAL MIN Q 12, MAlstott 6, MFaulk 6, AMiller 6 HMoore 1, CFord(SR) 4, IND D 1
16 DP OAK Q 6, RHarris 6 CBlanchard 4

Another good game for Talbot, who has averaged 50 points a game since his week 2 loss to Mosakowski. The loss to MOS continues to loom large as Talbot remains in second due to that tiebreaker. Talbot got his usual score from Mike Alstott and continued to start receivers who score. However, the hallmark of all Talbot teams has been the strong QB: The Vikings and Brad Johnson have exceeded all expectations.

Peil had one of those games that sometimes befall those who start of lots of receivers: their scoring is somewhat random. Some weeks they all score and some weeks none of them score. Those that starting three running backs argue that they are more consistant. Peil, who treates backs like kickers. has one of the most consistent, Raymont Harris, and he has scored in 4 of the 6 games this year.

15 OUT CIN Q 6, DBrien 9

This is the path to glory. Win as many ugly ones as you can. Stroupe in '90. Best in '94. It is not your fault that your opponent can't score his way out of a paper bag. Why waste points here. Save them for the shoot outs. 5 and 1 is 5 and 1.



40 JK GB Q 12, BMorris 6, WDunn 7, RLongwell 3, PIT D 12
32 STP WAS Q 6, TDavis 14, MHusted 4, DEN D 8

Nothing gratifies JK more than a victory over hated Stroupe. Stroupe used to beat them like a drum, time after time, but JK has evened things in recent years (3 of 4 since 1994). However, there might have been a few nervous moments Monday night...particularly when Terrell Davis was dragged down on what might have been an 80 yard TD run.



36 BUD BAL Q 20, DAlexander 6, JBettis 1, RMoore 6, AVinatieri 8
27 CZ ASmith 7, MBates 6, JHall 12, NE D 2

Czupryna's beloved New England Patriots didn't help him Monday night. Curtis Martin, Ben Coates and NE D failed to score, but Deitrich's Adam Vinatieri did. Like Wallace, BUD but had a big game from his QB, working the other side of the PIT/BAL shootout. And like Wallace, BUD had to hold off his opponent on Monday night. However, unlike Wallace, BUD didn't score in the 40's allowing Wallace to edge him out for third place.

Week 7 Preview


Jones-Klingman vs Outlaw

Green Bay vs Chicago? Warrick Dunn vs the Lions? Make it five in a row for JK.

Best vs Stroupe

If you check the leaders this week, all categories are headed by either Best or Stroupe. Stroupe's are all off this week. Advantage to Best.

Jackson vs Deitrich
Bud has to be wary of Jackson's 49er factor. Not that Jackson has any San Francisco players, but "49" is the magic number in the four games that these two have played. Jackson has scored 52, 46, 49 and 49 points in those meetings. Can Bud, who out scored him in 1995 (of course), do it this year? Probably not, as his starting QB/WR combo is on a bye.
Gates vs Czupryna
CZ'a big back attack takes on the Lion King this week. CZ has the Jets against Miami. CZ's been around long enough to remember when those games featured 51-45 type shootouts. Gates' Lions go to Tampa, where until this year meant big time points. No longer. CZ hands Gates his third straight loss.
Peil vs Ricker
A couple of QB byes effect this game. Peil will counter with Tennessee. Ricker will need to pick one up, and a kicker too. Uh-oh. Peil with an ugly one.
Talbot vs Wallace
No sense opening old wounds, but this has been a controversial series. Both have favorable matchups for their QBs, RBs, WRs and kickers. This could be a real shootout. This one will be a 50-50 tie. Note to Talbot: Troy Davis is available.
Barry vs Mosakowski
The annual confusion game. The winner will be named Barry. We know that much.

IMPORTANT: Week 7 Byes

Six teams are taking a break this weekend. All of the AFC West plus Baltimore. That means there will be a lot of competition for kickers and defenses. Get your picks in early. Those that leave there shopping lists on Calvin's phone on Sunday morning may miss out. If you need to know who is available, check the
NFL Rosters as a cross reference. Every NFL back, receiver, kicker, team QB and defense is listed by team with a link to who owns them in the BRFL. Also available are the week by week season stats to date and the team's schedule.
