Week 8 Results

We've passed the middle of our season and there's still no shortage of excitement! Here are the Week 8 scores:

DHARMAHELPER 15 v. Leggy -13
Leggy's Detroit defense let her down in a big way in London, putting her 45 points in the red to start her day. Her day didn't get any better as DH's Baltimore-Chicago combo put up 49 combined points for him during the 1:00 games. By the end of the late afternoon games, DH had lost most of his points thank sto his Jets defense but Leggy's Seattle offense only put up chump change against the Cowboys. Down by 47, Leggy didn't get what she needed out of Denver. Scoring 29 points is good but on any other week but it wasn't enough to put her in the black. DH pulled off the only win for the Baddie Conference this week.



EPIGNOSIS 49 v. MovingPictures07 29
Put the two conference bottom-feeders together and get ready for excitement! After the 1:00 games, Epi surged out to a 58-point lead. MP07's day didn't get much rosier when his Cowboys offense only shaved 12 points off of his deficit. Barring an epic meltdown on Monday Night Football, Epi was all but certain to win. The Panthers may have gotten a scare Monday night when the Colts mounted a comeback attempt but Epi never sweat a drop. His win streak now extended to three games, Epignosis finds himself in the hunt for both 3rd and 2nd place in the Civvie Conference.



G-Man 46 v. METALMARSH89 50
After Thursday night, G-Man probably felt optimistic. His Patriots ran all over the Dolphins. Then the London game saw his Kansas City defense give up just 10 points. All he needed was his substitute offense to seal the deal for him. The 1:00 games turned the tables on him in a big way. MM89's defense held strong and his offenses put up their standard-issue great numbers. With the Falcons losing in overtime, G-Man came up just shy of a win, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that MM89 is truly a force to reckon with.


GOLDEN 39 v. TurnipHead 30
Here's another case of squandered optimism. Turnip Head saw his Rams defense hold the 49ers to just six points on the same weekend that his Steelers offense gets Big Ben back. But Big Ben was more like Big Bust, as the Steelers only scored 10, allowing Golden to get out to a 25-point lead thanks to the Giants more than overcoming the points allowed by his substitute Titans defense. Golden's Packers could have put it away but pulled a Steelers on the night, only scoring 10. TH needed the scrambling Colts to come up big for him but they didn't have it in them.

While Metalmarsh89 seems to be running away with the league, the rest of the standings seem to keep getting closer and closer:
