Barry and Czupryna get in: Outlaw Wins Central
As it turned out, the playoff chase wasn't much to shout about. Several
weeks ago, the present 1 and 2 teams in each division and and the two
points teams where the sames as it was today.
- Jackson wins the East.
- Outlaw defeats JK wins the Central. Next week they will play again in a game
that counts.
- Barry and Czupryna win the points slot. CZ scores 67 in his defeat of
Wallace. Barry loses to Peil, but still retains his slot. Both teams are
5-8-1. Since seeds 4 - 8 are determined by record. Barry wins the 7th
slot over CZ thanks to his week 9 win 40-37 in head to head competition.
Next weeks pairings
- 1 Mosakowski-Hale vs 8 Czupryna
- 2 Jackson vs 7 Barry
- 3 Outlaw vs 6 Jones-Klingman
- 4 Best vs 5 Talbot

CZ really poured it on the last four weeks. 2-8 going back into division
play, we went 3-0-1 in the division. Most impressive was his last two weeks
when he scored 61 and 67 points to win a points slot. The 67 matches his
best ever. The old man is usually noted for his fondness for tight ends, but it is
Wide receivers that are scoring points for him this year. Joey Galloway and Eric
Moulds both had 15 points. Jimmy Smith added 7. Some potentially bad
news as QB Mark Brunell will miss the remainder of the BRFL season.
A one man team. Terrell Davis scored 19 points this week and 146 so
far this year, but the rest of Wallace's team did not produce. Wallace is
out of the playoffs. It just doesn't seem like December without Wallace
in the thick of it. Of course it doesn't seem like December shopping
for Christmas trees in 80 degree weather.

Wow, another amazing shootout. Jackson becomes the third team in BRFL history
to lose a game after scoring in the 60s. 62 is the second highest losing
score in history. Talbot set the record last week when he scored 64 to
Mosakowski's 75.
Both Best and Jackson finish 9-5 with 3-3 division records and split their
series this year. The difference came down to head to head points which
Jackson wins after whipping Best 70-25 in week 11. Best needed to win by
46 this week, and scored 70 points, but Jackson scored quite a bit more than 25.
Two teams were key for this game, Buffalo and Minnesota. Jackson started
BUF Qbs and Jay Reimersma, and Best countered with Antowain Smith and
Kicker Steve Christie. One of Best's pet strategies is to try and use the
kicker of his opponents QB. Christie scored 17 and Smith 6, but Flutie
managed 13. In the Viking game, Jackson looked to pull away with three TDs from Randy Moss
(for the second straight week). Best countered with Leroy Hoard (13)in the
Minnesota D (9), who scored late. It was 62-58 after Sunday's action.
It came down to Monday night and Brett Favre. Best had to sweat a
little bit as the winning TD didn't come until the 4th quarter.

Jones/Klingman won round 1, Outlaw won this game, next week they meet in
round three. A tale of two styles. JK did all he could to pull this out,
while Outlaw stuck with the default. Perhaps it is time to find him and
alert him to the fact that he is the third seed for the playoffs.

Some one tell Dick Peil that blowing out in week 14 is no longer meaningful
if you've done nothing all year long. Under the old format, this would have
been worth something. This year, it's called playing out the string.
Oakland's QBs threw twice to Tim Brown for scores, but also threw twice
to Barry's D for scores, but it didn't matter.
Barry loses this game, but holds onto his points slot. Credit AB
with the pick-up of the week: the Miami D with 19 points. Miami is the
former defense of Jackson, Barry's first round opponent.

Mosakowski-Hale wins their 10th game this year despite a banged up lineup.
The win clinches the number one seed, which wins a dubious prize, a week 15
date with red-hot Czupryna. Randall Cunningham shouldered the load this week
with his 25 points. Seattle's D took another back for a score, givning them
101 points this season.
Stroupe's season is over. He kept it interesting with a run at the points slot.

Bud plays out the string to even his record at 7-7 and finally vanquish
Talbot, who he has always had trouble with.
Talbot's loss costs him the tie-breaker in his 4-5 game with Best. Another
injury as Michael Westbrook is lost for the BRFL season. In recent weeks,
Talbot has also lost starters Natrone Means and Jake Reed.

Week 15 Preview
The most curious thing about the match-ups for week 15 is that each
game matches a former champion with a someone who has never won.
- Czupryna 1991 vs Mosakowski-Hale
- Jackson 1987 vs Barry
- Outlaw 1995 vs Jones/Klingman
- Best 1994 vs Talbot
Another interesting thing is that none of these champions is Wallace.
He's played in this week 7 out of 10 years.
The last two weeks have been the two highest scoring weeks in league
history. Thats like about 175 regular season weeks. We averaged 52 and 49 points in those weeks. What was it, the
warm December weather? Or are we in the league so astute about fantasy
football that we have reached a state of perfection?
Perfection is hardly the term to descibe my season to date picks. 2-4
last week, 40-42-2 for the season. Not too many games left.

|
Mosakowski-Hale vs Czupryna ................................ MOS by 12
|
|
There are a few in the league that think that Czupryna can upset the
Mo-has. Huh? This is second most impressive BRFL team of all time. Last week,
this supposedly banged up Mo-ha team scored 55, the week after winning the
division 75-64 over Talbot. 130 points in two weeks. Meanwhile, CZ is coming off matching his all
time high of 67 and a two week total of 128. So who crashes this week?
My guess it is the old man, not that he can keep up with the young
whippersnappers. I think Brunells injury turns Jacksonville conservative
thereby lowering the effectiveness of two of his players.
Mos to advance they get Freeman back and a lot of Green Bay recievers
are out this week.
|
|
Jackson vs Barry ........................................... Jackson by 5
|
|
Here's a stat that will send a chill down Jackson's spine. Barry has
never lost his initial playoff game. However, Jackson should advance
because he has pretty good match-ups for his QBs. AB's Denver should not
light it up too much against the Giants since that is a big overmatchup.
|
|
3. Outlaw vs 6. Jones-Klingman ................................... OUTLAW by 4
|
|
These two turn around and knock heads again this week.
Here is an interesting stat regarding Jones-Klingman. They are 0-3 in
week 15. The fact that they are at this week for only the fourth time in
twelve years is another interesting stat. You have to root for them because
they are trying, but lord knows they just don't have the match-ups.
Outlaw is off who knows where and probably isn't aware of
the fact the his team is in the playoffs. He probably isn't even aware that
Dorsey Levens and Derrick Mayes are healthy again and should have big games
this week. They will likely sit on his bench in favor of Irv Smith.
Please JK win. Do it for all of us that care and study match ups, read this
site and follow our stats and love the legend and folklore of the league. However,
you won't win. There are two things against you. Your match-ups and history.
Outlaw...come out come out where ever you are and claim your prize.
- 90 wk 6 Outlaw 40 Jones 23
- 91 wk 7 Outlaw (W) Jones
- 92 wk 5 Jones/Klingman 31 Outlaw 20
- 93 wk 12 Outlaw 32 Jones/Klingman 12
- 94 wk 6 Jones - Klingman 44 Outlaw 24
- 95 wk 12 Outlaw 56 Jones-Klingman 51
- 96 wk 3 Outlaw 42 Jones-Klingman 21

|
4. Best vs 5. Talbot ...................................... Talbot by 4
|
|
For weeks we thought that however plays Talbot this week is a goner.
But in week 14, Talbot slipped a bit and Best scored 70 points. So this
match-up might be very interesting. The key will be Monday night. San
Francisco plays Detroit. Talbot is 0-2 with his SF QBs play on Monday
night, but he is also averaging 61 points in those games. Best has not shown the
ability to string together back to back big weeks. Something Talbot does
regularly. Talbot beat Best on Monday in week 9, he should do it here,
and set up a rematch with Mos.
