Division E2: Quarter-Point of the Season Article
Week 4 kicks off tomorrow night, and with it marks the official quarter point of the season in Division E2. As we march towards the midway point of the year, some teams will be able to separate themselves using either their offense or their defense. The top teams will find a way to do it using both.
When you look at the standings, you will see that some teams have catapulted themselves to the top, while some are stuck in the middle, and a few others are still trying to find their footing.
Division E2 has opened the season with chaos, clarity, and everything in between. There are four undefeated teams, a collection of 2–2 squads fighting for identity, and a pair of winless teams searching for answers — this division is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable and toughest in FPF.
1. Trailer Park Boys (4–0)
The Trailer Park Boys are the early standard. Four games, four wins, and the league’s most balanced profile: 104 points scored, 67 allowed. They don’t blow teams out — they just beat them. Their +37 differential shows control, not chaos. They’re the team everyone else is measuring themselves against. For now.
2. Flag Dealers (4–1)
After going (3-16-1) the last two Spring Seasons combined, the Flag Dealers appear to have finally found their footing in Division E. A big part of their turnaround can be linked to their top-ranked offense that averages nearly 29 per game.
The team’s defense hasn’t been nearly as sharp, giving up the fourth most points in the division at 36 PPG, but when you score this easily, you can afford a few shootouts. Their lone loss keeps them behind Trailer Park Boys, but the ceiling could be championship‑level.
3. Illegal Aliens (3–0)
The most efficient team in the league so far. Three games, three wins, and the best point differential in the division. Illegal Aliens can score with 113 points for and have shown they can lock teams down with 63 points against. The only question: can they maintain this pace once they hit the tougher part of the schedule which sees them play Flag Dealers, Stables, Trailer Park Boys, and Rosemere Rhino Pills.
4. Tops’n Tops (3–0)
Another undefeated squad with a dominant profile. Tops’n Tops have the second‑best offense per game (41.3 PPG) and a defense that bends but rarely breaks. They’re the quietest of the top four but absolutely belong in contender conversation. How they do in upcoming games against Trailer Park Boys and Stables will tell us if they can keep their spot in that convo.
5. The Stables (2-1)
The team has had to transition from one Quarterback in David Mather, to another in Devin Kreuzer. The former was simply fantastic last Winter Season, as he threw for 1,176 yards with 36 touchdowns and just one interception in eight games played. In only three games so far, the latter has looked solid throwing for 407 yards along with nine TDs and two INTs. Let’s keep a close eye on how he does.
They have a top-ranked defense and came within a play of knocking off the Trailer Park Boys. The Stables are the classic “don’t overlook us” team that has already shown they are true contenders.
6. No Porkin Around (2–2)
A true wildcard. No Porkin Around have a stellar defense. They have given up a total of 51 points, which works out to just over two touchdowns per game 12.75.
The team has had the complete opposite result on the other side of the ball, as they have scored more than two touchdowns just once. They need to find some consistency on offense to climb the standings. If they can, watch out.
7. Rosemere Rhino Pills (2–2)
This veteran team started off (0-2) and didn’t look good in either loss, as they were blown out by Tops n’ Tops, and then were shutout by No Porkin Around. Since then, they have won two straight, as they got by Still an Inch Short (19-13), and then beat winless Super Bock (26-12).
The Rhino Pills have the look of a team that can only beat weaker squads. Upcoming matchups versus Illegal Aliens, Stables and Flag Dealers will tell us whether that statement is true or not.
8. Vengeance (2–2)
Vengeance are right in the middle of everything — competitive in every game but not yet showing a defining strength. Their –11 differential is manageable, and they’ve shown flashes of being better than their record. Will that translate into wins?
9. [Enter Team Name Here] (2–3)
I am intrigued by this team. They have blown out teams and have been dominated as well. The most unpredictable team in the division. Their offense can score (88 PF), but the defense has been a problem (118 PA). They’re dangerous, but volatile.
Currently on a two-game losing streak after losses to Illegal Aliens and No Porkin Around, [Enter Team Name Here] has a month off before returning to action with three games versus Molson Import, Trailer Park Boys, and Tops'n Tops. Will they be .500 or better after that span, or worse?
10. Special Agents (1–2)
This team has a ton of veteran experience in Rob White, Chris Olson, Mike Jazz, and Tyler Grondin. Special Agents are better than their record suggests, but their mark also suggests that they play both up and down to their competition, as all three games have been one-possession contests.
After a tough showdown next Tuesday versus Top’n Tops, they have two winnable games versus Vengeance and Super Bock. Can Special Agents pull off an upset and get the pair of expected wins? We will find out shortly.
11. Still an Inch Short (1–3)
I was the scorekeeper for their game versus the Robins this past Saturday at Concordia. They capitalized on their opponent’s mistakes enroute to a (27-18) victory.
The win masked some of the problems they have as well, including turnovers and an unimpressive offense. Still an Inch Short has struggled to finish games because of that side of the ball. To make the playoffs and do some damage, they will need to tighten things up.
12. Molson Import (1–2)
Molson Import are hard to get a read on. They’ve scored 90 points in just three games which tells us where the strength of their team lays.
Their defense however has not been as strong. The unit has given up an average of 26.3 points per game. That stat isn’t horrible, but the fact that they only score 30 per contest, means their ability to win one-possession games will be huge. They are (1-1) so far in these situations.
13. Super Bock (0–4)
Super Bock have struggled on both sides of the ball. Their –74 differential is the lowest in the division, and the offense hasn’t found its footing, as they have scored the least number of points in the league with a grand total of 44. They need a reset, and fast.
14. Robins (0–5)
Robins have played the most games in the division and are still searching for their first win. This team has talent, size, and speed, but they make too many mistakes on both sides of the ball.
Their offense is respectable (81 PF), but the defense has been overwhelmed (131 PA). Those missteps are a major reason they find themselves winless so far. There is still a lot of football left for the Robins to play, but it is getting late early.
