FPF News Week 8

Impressed

Disappointed

·         Although they haven’t won their previous matchup, Braves kept it awfully close against FPF All-Stars even though they begun the game with only 5 players. It was, probably, Jonathan Maheu’s best game of the season and they’re finally looking like a top contender once again.

·         Top Guns were a play away from pulling off the upset against DK and I can’t help but be impressed with how they handled themselves and the fight they put up this week. Most (including me) wrote them off for this game and they proved us all wrong; kudos to them.

·         Trigger Happy Bunnies were without their starting QB Jonathan Lemieux, yet, backup Simon Richard played QB for the hour and performed excessively well scoring 34 points and making his opponents look bad for the entire time. Taking over at QB is far from easy and he, somehow, made it look effortless.

·         A-Squad have been going off the rails recently. Their defence is fine, but Corey Wawalski’s offence isn’t going anywhere (12 points won’t cut it). They’ve had tough matchups throughout the tournament, but this one was one of those they needed to bag as a W.

·         Mean Machine had this week’s game under wraps for most of the first half, but dumb penalties and the inability to score when it truly mattered came back to haunt them as they allowed their opponents, No Name, to make a comeback and steal the W right under their nose.

·         North Shore Finners have one of the best QB in the division, yet, can’t seem to find plays that work for them. Their ability to score at will on 40-bomb should elevate their game, but it’s barely used and they struggle to put up numbers week-in and week-out. This week’s game was just one more question mark for me.

Impressed

Disappointed

·         Lockdown tied X-Men after two losses in the earlier games in this round. The fact that they could keep pace with Guatama Swaminadham’s offense is impressive.  I’m excited to see what they can do moving forward.

·         After a questionable win 2 weeks ago, Bearskins have turned it on recently.  This last game saw Marco Bertoldi turn up and look like one of the best receivers in the tournament. Bearskins are finally starting to look like themselves.

·         KGP RA Phil Cutler is really maximizing the talent on this roster.  They kept pace with a far superior Freshii Superfoods.  While they could not get the stops on defense their offense was truly impressive in a 45-41 loss.

·         Lightweight let me down a little.  Clearly #NR were a far superior team and Corey Pecker makes Lightweight QB Simon Dagenais look like an all-star where his mother is the only voter.  However,I thought this could have bene a trap game for #NR.  I was wrong

·         Farmers took a loss in a game against Dawson Caf’s Finest. It looks like in the absence of Corey Greenaway and/or Nicholas Belleau the Farmers simply have trouble competing. I hought this core had learned enough to be a contender in Tier 2.

·         After the Bruins won their grudge match against the Blacksox I thought that the team was ready to turn the page. Thomas Forget seems to have stabilized the quarterback position. However the Bruins still seem to have a lot to learn before the can expect to see success in FPF.

Impresssed

Disappointed

• #NR: Cette équipe a connue une ronde préliminaire assez ordinaire. Depuis, ils sont 3-0 et ils devraient finir dans les deux premiers de leur division. En terminant à cette position, ils vont avoir la chance de remonter de jouer pour un meilleur «bowl» au prochain tour.
• Dans and Tam: Je pourrais faire un copier-coller du commentaire de #NR. Eux aussi ont eu beaucoup de difficulté au tour précédent et ils sont eux aussi 3-0 en deuxième ronde. Leur attaque réussit bien présentement en raison d’une meilleure répartition du ballon. Leurs meilleurs joueurs touchent plus souvent au ballon depuis quelques parties.
• Primetime: Ils ne m’ont pas impressionné de la façon qu’ils ont joué contre Los Banditos. Ce qui m’impressionne d’eux c’est leur fiche. Ils sont déjà 3-0 et ils ont battu les deux seules équipes qui peuvent les rejoindre au classement. Je crois qu’ils vont finir le deuxième tour 5-0. Toutefois, ils devront être plus solides, car ils vont affronter de meilleures équipes au prochain tour.

• A-Squad: Une autre semaine décevante pour A-Squad. Ils affrontaient une équipe qui se cherchait aussi et ils n’ont pas été en mesure d’en profiter. Ils ne marquent en moyenne que 18 points, ce qui est nettement insuffisant pour gagner une partie dans cette ligue. Ils ont le talent et un quart correct, mais rien ne colle pour cette équipe. Je pense que cette équipe n’aura pas de victoire à la fin du tournoi.
• North Shore Finners: La première que je les ai vues jouer c’était contre les Bruins à la semaine 2. Ils m’avaient grandement impressionné. Toutefois, c’était leur unique victoire du tournoi. De plus, ils ne sont jamais dans le coup. Ils perdent toujours par une bonne marge. Pourtant cette équipe compte sur un excellent quart en Tristan Grenon, mais il n’y a aucune chimie avec ses receveurs.
• Lockdown: Où est passée l’attaque efficace de Pat Riot ? Cette équipe n’est pas l’ombre d’elle-même au deuxième tour. Cette’équipe n’est plus capable de marquer suffisamment de points et leur défense en accorde beaucoup trop.  Ils ont un autre duel difficile la semaine prochaine contre Greendale avant de finir contre les Warriors. Je les vois finir 1-1 et affronter les meilleurs équipes de la division Della Rocca au prochain tour.
