With their tailfeathers against the wall, Duck Dynasty shocks the world. The 0-2 men in orange whose leader loves oranges, beat the undefeated Gorillaz. Gorillaz are a stacked team and they showed up to play. It was simply an Any Given Sunday situation which is as true in the NFL as it is in Jewball. You show up to play and compete. You don’t listen to Draft Party musings. You don’t listen to TBI prognosticating. You play the damn game. Pray threw 2 picks to Dachs (or we can say Dachs picked Pray twice) in this low scoring affair. A defensive grudge match. Potential 2025 Rookie Portal plays for Tommy and scores a TD. DK earned two sacks for the Ducks, and Captain Ernie supports his cause with a TD. Legs and Spira recorded 2 sacks each for the Gorrilaz, but the team only scores one (TD pass to Irv). 12-6 your final.
Yaron loses to the yet undefeated Zinn/Ice combo in the other early. Yaron gets sacked 4 times (twice by E, once by BZ, and once by Ice). Zinn throws 3, but Jewball to Ice with the well balanced stats line of 2 scores, a pick, and the sack.
It was Key v. Feit in the late one where Zinn ended up coming in for Key as the offense stagnated a bit late in the game. Prime and Feit put up 2 scores together and Prime had a pick. Prime had a Jewball in his pocket, but this one ended in a 3-3 tie. Key threw 1, Zinn threw 1, and Zinn rushed in for 1. Zinn also had a sack. If only stats mattered.
WEEK 13
Finally, a game I slightly remember. I was playing across the way, and saw a lot of Ice Man heroics. As I sent the teams before Wek 13, I was a bit worried that the Randomizer had messed up and made me look bad…and seems it had. Gronk throws 5 TDs (2 to Blitz, and 1 to Goldberg, Kut, and Prime)…but… he also threw 5 picks (2 Ice, 2 Pray 1 Zada). Pray threw 5 TDs, but once again Ice Man gets the Jewball because of the equally proficient offense and defense with 3 TDs and 2 picks.
At the other early, Yaron beats Bin/Zinn in a close one. Bin put up 4 scores (Solo, Ross, 2 to Zinn), but Yaron had a nuclear option with a Jeremy Brody appearance and Legs on fire making up for the 3 Yaron thrown picks. Yaron comes back and wins this one behind 2 sacks and 2 scores by Legs and a P6 by Brody. Legs targets and acquires the Jewball.
Return of the Avenger in the late game and this guy does not like to lose. 4 TDs thrown (Bert, Portal, 2 Pray, Prime) and a sack. That’s a Jewball for him. Yaron only lost by 1 and that’s pretty good considering how loaded Avenger’s team was. Ice Man gets his requisite (minimum) 2 scores (win or lose) and Ross adds 2. Avenger was loaded so good work Bron and co for keeping it close.
