Inside the LFFL Week 2 Results

After the dust settled there was only one unbeaten team at 2-0.  The Carpetbaggers win again to continue their rebound from the disastrous 2024 season.  One unbeaten team always has a flip side.  That would be Boomer & Bunker at 0-2.  B&B is also the most unlucky team in the league.  They are the #2 scoring team in the league and have somehow come up short the first two weeks.  Every other team in the league is now 1-1. 

• Power Pugs (1-1) 102.9 Butt Kickers (1-1) 83.14: My team wins their first game.  This all started with a TE match up on TNF with PP's Tucker Kraft outscoring BK's Zach Ertz 21.4-15.4.  After the Sunday games BK held a narrow lead.  But on MNF Bucky Irving scored 15.1 for BK but they couldn't hold off Baker Mayfield's 19.9 and Nico Collins with an early TD and 12.7.  Chuba Hubbard also added in 16.2 for PP.

  Week 2 Bench Player of the week: Rome Odunze TTM  28.3
  NFL Picks: Erik goes 11-5 for the second straight week padding his overall lead to 6 over Ron and Kelly.  
  Potent Notables: Injuries to QBs are piling up.  The biggest most costly injury is Joe Burrow missing a potential 3 months with turf toe.  Burrow is owned in this league by Denny.  His backup QB is Geno Smith, so look for a move to be made there.  It also affects Kelly's team with Ja'Marr Chase and Matt with Tee Higgins. Maybe even my team with Chase Brown.  Other injuries are Brock Purdy of BTR, JJ McCarthy of MOS and Jayden Daniels B&B are likely to miss some time.  Parity is the name of the game in this league with 12 of 14 teams at 1-1.  Meanwhile the Steelers weaknesses were exposed by the Seahawks and Sam Darnold.  Aaron Rodgers may regret signing here.  Look for a move at WR to be made soon.  Is that Tyreek Hill coming here?   The need for another receiver is certainly obvious but the need for a cohesive offensive line to protect Rodgers is even bigger.  The hope for the defense is to get some guys healthy.  But this could be a long season.
