06-Dec - Vikings are Superbowl Champions
Congrats to the Vikings (aka New England Patriots) adding another Superbowl championship to their franchise's illustrious record.
06-Nov - Playoff matchups are set
I don't have the stats sheets, but the standings are updated to include the final regular season games. The Bengals squeaked in a the 4th seed with their victory over the Raiders and the Cowboys locked up the #1 spot by beating the Vikings.
30-Oct - Prior to Week 7
Sorry for the delay in posting standings and stats. I am going to skip the game summaries and jump ahead to the playoff tie-breakers. The Patriots have completed their regular season with a 4-2-1 record and are in the playoffs. The Cowboys and Vikings are also in the playoffs, but their seedings can change depending on this weekend's games. The Raiders/Bengals game determines the final playoff spot. The Rams and Seahawks face off in the Toilet Bowl this weekend.
The league tie-breakers are as follows:
- Two teams
- Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the teams
- Points given up (lower total score wins)
- Points scored (higher total score wins)
- Coin flip
- Three or more teams (Note: If two teams remain tied after third or other teams are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-team format).
- Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the teams)
- Points given up (lower total score wins)
- Points scored (higher total score wins)
- Coin flip

8-Oct - After Week 5 Games
Week 5 saw more scoring than Week 4 with two games finishing 6-5. More importantly, Colin Carufel suffered a season-ending knee injury early in the Patriots/Raiders game. We all wish Colin a speedy recovery! His team managed to shut out the Raiders 4-0 with two touchdowns each from Ronnie and Frank.
The Seahawks nearly got win #1, but lost to the Vikings in a 6-5 shoot out. Don Miller and Ruben Reyes combined for 14 catches and 5 of the Vikings 6 TDs. Jose was an impressive 18 for 25 with 6 TDs and no picks or sacks. The Seahawks #25 (aka Cris Carter) had 4 catches and 3 TDs.
The Rams kept their (extremely) slim playoff hopes alive with a 6-5 win over the previously undefeated Bengals. Ron Catanzaro gave an all-star performance with 12 catches and 5 TDs. #11 for the Bengals responded with 4 catches with 3 TDs and 2 clutch bombs to keep the Bengals in the game.
1-Oct - Week 5 Preview
The Raiders and Patriots clash in a battle that could decide each team's playoff fate. The Vikings are coming off their bye week and
look to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to the Patriots. The Bengals throw their #1 rated passing attack against the hapless Rams.
The Rams and Seahawks need wins to keep their withering playoff hopes alive.

30-Sep - After Week 4 Games
Week 4 is in the books and defense and long games were the
stories for this week. The Bengals were the only team
to reach 6 points, with Mo Baustic throwing for 6 TDs with 0 interceptions.
#92 caught 7 balls with 3 TDs to lead the Bengals receivers. Ed Sheridan threw 4 TDs against 2 picks as the Seahawks
continued their cold streak.
The Patriots and Cowboys played to a 10 inning 5-5 tie. I was a great game to watch unless you were playing after them and had to deal with the pissed off referees. Mike Kot hit 4 different receivers for TDs, but was victimized with 3 INTs against the aggressive (and freakin' tall) Cowboy's defense. The Cowboy's #11 spread the ball around to 5 different receivers and ran one to pay dirt. We'll have to see if that is a playoff preview game.
The Rams jumped out to a quick 3-1 lead against the powerhouse Raiders squad, but returned to typical Ram's form and blew it. This game featured picks, sacks, penalties and some outstanding grabs by the Raiders #88. The Rams couldn't stop the Raiders precision passing game and fell 5-3 in 8 innings.
22-Sep - Prior to Week 3
We are entering week 3 of the season, which features a clash between the Patriots and Bengals, two teams with unblemished records.
The Vikings look to bounce back from their embarrasing loss last week, while the Raiders and Cowboys are riding high after feasting on the bottom of the league.
The Seahawks are hoping for their first win and the Rams are just happy that they can't possibly lose during their bye week.
