Week 1 is in the books. And boy what a weekend it was! Just like every year we had some injuries to 1st Round picks, starting players putting up goose eggs (looking at you Cam Akers), kickers winning and losing across the NFL, the expansion team (Chipotle SteamingCleaver - Tyler) winning their inaugural game, and most importantly the defending champs in both the NFL and NCAL looked mortal (for lack of saying shit). Let’s get into some of the highlights of the weekend.

Game of the Week

Show Me Your TD’s (Brad) vs One Man Wolfpack (Bert) was definitely the game of the week. Brad got going early on Thursday with a combined 50 points from Kupp and Davis, it seemed like an insurmountable deficit for Bert to overcome, especially with the players Brad had left. But as always, an early Sunday swing led by Mahomes and M. Thomas PLUS Trey Lance not looking good in the mud bowl in Chicago gave Bert a healthy lead going into Monday night football with only Denver’s kicker (B. McManus) to play for Brad. HOLY HELL did it come to the wire. The questionable call to kick a 64-yard field goal with 45 seconds to go, 3 timeouts AND a future HoF QB on your side that you just paid millions and millions and millions of dollars would have been the winning points needed for Brad to beat Bert. Crazy, the most unlikely call that was needed for Brad to win his matchup was actually called. It’s like those Buffalo Wild Wings commercials where they would call the refs to screw with the game. Brad only had one option, and it wasn’t the best option for the Broncos, and yet they tried it. Luckily for Bert, it was just wide and Bert wins the Week 1 matchup in a nail biter.

Final Score: Show Me Your TD’S (122.46) to (127.5) One Man Wolfpack

Coach of the Week

Coach Jose of the Raider Nation takes this week’s Coach of the Week. Not only did he manage the highest scoring team this week, but those players looked great for their teams and looked to be the focal points of their respective teams. Saquon looked like a beast, Davante IS the main man in Vegas (did you guys know Carr and Adams played together at Fresno State? Or at least it was mentioned during the broadcast 50 fucking times), and Lamar is gonna get paid. Jose is going to be scary this year. Again.

Honorable Mention: Challenge Me (Mark)

Beast of the Week

Beast of the Week will typically go to the highest scoring individual player but I think this week it deserves to be split between Mahomes (34.9 pts) and Allen (31.48). Mostly because I didn’t watch Mahomes play lol, but holy shit is Josh Allen still living up the hype. Dude looked like a beast against the defending champs (albeit they looked like more lambs) and the Bills look like a legit Super Bowl team. Only problem is that they share a division with the Chiefs and Mahomes who looked equally impressive dismantling the other NFC West opponent.

Rant of the Week

I WAS WATCHING THE WEATHER REPORTS ACROSS THE LEAGUE LIKE A FUCKING LOSER RIGHT BEFORE KICKOFF AND I SEE THAT THERE IS A DOWNPOUR IN CHICAGO. I LOOK AT MY LINEUP AND SEE I HAVE MOONEY STARTING AT THE FLEX POSITION AND THINK I SHOULD DEFINITELY GET HIM OUT OF THERE! MY OPTIONS ARE AJ DILLION AND TYLER BOYD. 10 MINUTES TO KICKOFF I READ A REPORT THAT IT HAS STOPPED RAINING AND DECIDE TO STICK WITH MOONEY. WELL AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, NOT A SINGLE FUCKING RECEIVER ON THE BEARS CAUGHT A PASS UNTIL THE SECOND HALF. MOONEY ENDED UP WITH 1.8 POINTS! AJ DILLION YOU ASK? 20.1 POINTS. TYLER BOYD YOU ASK? 13.3 POINTS. OHHHH AND TO ADD TO THIS BULLSHIT, KEENAN ALLEN GETS HURT AND I THINK OH OKAY, MIKE WILLIAMS IS GONNA EAT. NOOOOOPE! DOESN’T EVEN GET TARGETED UNTIL LATE IN THE SECOND QTR AND ENDS UPS WITH 3 POINT. FUCK YOU!

Toilet Play of the Week

Me. Just read the rant. I’m done.

NCAL Upkeep

I’ll be trying to put these up weekly, if you want to contribute to the newsletter just shoot me a text or email. Especially looking for Rant of the Week. If you feel like you’ve been done in by the FF gods and want a channel to express your anger. We are here for you. The only rule is that it’s all in caps. Besides that, a couple F-words here and there, maybe a little run-on sentence and a bit of belligerent incoherence only adds to the feel.

Also, if there is something you’d like to see or featured here or on the website, suggestions are always welcomed.
