Hitters & Sh*tters Part 3

Part 3 of Hitters and Sh*tters is here.  Let’s take a dive into who were the leagues Hitters & Sh*tters!

 

Hitters

1) – WB OmnixGod – Now just a week ago Omni was on my list as a shitters. The next week the guy totally flips the script from going 0-3 to going 3-0. In week 3 Omni had wins over AceBoogs , Dirty Falcons , Blunkey. Throwing 6 touchdowns with over 450 passing yards on the week. Omni has the potential to be one of the leagues best QBs and in week 3 he showed his potential.

2) – Hucci – Hucci probably had the best overall week 3 out of any players. Hucci had a 3-0 record in week 3 while also throwing for over 600 yards with 11 touchdown and 0 interceptions. Hucci like Omni is a guy who has lots of potential with a lot of experience in the mut scene. When guys like Hucci tap into there potential it can be hell for the competition.

3) – Abyss – Abyss making the list once again with another great week. Another QB who had a 3-0 week after making a trade that seemed to make things better. Throwing for over 800 yards and 9 touchdowns I think Abyss has really put himself in the MVP conversation with JamesSmith and F34R Painkiller.

4) KWAM34MVP – Week 1 this guy was on my shitter list , now he has made a way onto the Hitters list for good reason. KWAM3 was traded away from Tampa and seems to have found himself in a good situation in Cincy. When he was traded I thought it could be good for him because he wouldn’t be forced into being a defensive coordinator where I felt he really struggled. Not only did KWAM3 go 3-0 but he did it while also remaining a signal caller on the defensive side. KWAM3 had wins over AceBoogs , Dirty Falcons , Blunkey. Were Abyss and Redwater holding KWAM3 back??????

5) – WoohdyV2 – Woohdy is always a player who everyone knows is talented but struggles to make or stay on a roster for a complete season. Woohdy found his way on the Chiefs in week 3 a left his mark. Woohdy was the 2nd leading rusher in week 3 with over 430 rushing yards with possibly the worst running back the league has to offer. Woohdy accounted for 7 touchdowns in week 3 for the Chiefs and helped his line go 3-0 on the week. Woohdy is also known as a RB/DL but also stepped in at DB and had 6 interceptions on the week.

6) -ll Redwater ll – Redwater has been having a great season and I think is flying under the radar. In week 3 Red lead the league in receiving yards with over 750 yards and 9 receiving touchdowns. Redwater is also known as linebacker but this season he made the switch to DL and the transition seems to be working out well. Red had 14 TFLs and 4 sacks on the week while helping lead his line to a 3-0 record in week 3. Right now Red seems to have WROTY locked up!!

 

 

Sh*tters

1) – MeowGrof – Grof really struggled in week 3 going 0-3. Not only did he struggle winning but he put up the worst QB numbers in week 3. With only 1 touchdown pass and 5 interceptions with a horrible 30% completion percentage it safe to safe MeowGrof was a shitter in week 3.

2) – Eagles Roster – Eagles really struggled in week 3 as a team so as a team they have to be called out. Eagles went 1-8 in week 3 and the only 3 people who got a win were Blunkey , Zabriel and Bloodypstain over the Bills. This team seems to have been on a roller coaster all season long. They have had some talent on the roster but it never stays. They had Natecashmoney , Shady on Xbox and Hutch to start the season but were all 3 traded , they also had Tmo on the roster for a week but he was then traded shortly after. Whenever this roster seems to have some talent they can’t keep them happy and or keep them on the roster. However even with the struggles they get guys to show up and play every night.

 

Sorry for the short article couldn’t find very many shitters this week!

Week 3 Power rankings and playoff look

Finishing up week three, the playoffs are only one week away.  This is a look at who is a head of the pack and who will be on the bubble with one week remaining in the regular season.

GB=games behind
LW=last week

PA=Points against
WK=week

#1

LA CHARGERS 19-8

GA 2 (week 3 record 6-3) LW rank 1 (-)

With week 3 coming to an end and looking forward into week 4. The Chargers have had a great season and look to further progress themselves moving into a championship push. Finishing week 3 at 6-3. Same as last week has been their worst week to date. Their team as a whole has continued to get better and has a strong and solid three lines. With dirty falcons now at QB in replace of the newly retired Huskynuts the team has gotten better. On both sides of the ball, having 3 of the top 5 leaders in DTDs and two of the most consistent QBs in the league. The chargers are in a great spot to secure a first-round bye in the playoffs. Dirty falcons having a solid 2-1 week which makes it the best week for the third line, which only strengthens this teams resolve and foundation moving near the playoffs.

By the Numbers

 
  • PF: 2nd (661)
  • PA: 2nd (447)
  • WK 3: 6-3
  • Pros:
    -Strong QB play from users.
    -Strong defensive output from all lines
    -Great madden roster


  • Cons:
    -Weak run game on all lines, little showing from running backs consistently
    -Madden offensive roster lacks speed

#2

Cleveland Browns 17-10

GB 2 (week 3 record 6-3) LW 2 (-)

The Browns are proving to be an issue for all teams. Good or bad the browns have had opportunity’s to win every game they have played. With nick Chubb being the most broken player in madden unarguably. With no one being able to stop him. Spam the A button score TDs seems to be the trend in Cleveland. And the trend is working giving all three Browns RBs the top three RB spots in the league. With every RB toating the rock over 150x through 9 games and all gathering more than 15 TDs. With high ypc averages these RBs are clearly making their marks in the league. Especially FearPainkiller who is by far leading the MVP race with 18tds a 9.7 ypc and 25.5 sacks on the other side of the ball. Painkiller has been a menace to the league and is the leading canidate for the MVP, Barring he does not slip up in week 4 which does not seem will be the case. The browns will look to have a strong week 4 and lock in the 1st or 2nd seed. which should happen with just a handful of wins. This team i believe as of rn is the team to watch going into the playoffs and is probably the SB favorites as of RN even sitting at number 2.

BY THE NUMBERS

 
  • PF:4th (608)
  • PA: 1st (427)
  • WK 3: (6-3)

PROS
-Best RB in madden
-Best run game in the league, Which will limit TOs and draw games out, Keep games close even against better opponents

Cons
-No QB abilities
-Small window for error. Go behind 2 scores running game may not be enough.

Kansas City Chiefs 15-12

GB 2 (Week 3 record 7-2) LW 6th (+3)

The Kansas City Chiefs made a splash in week 3 having their best week of the season, going 7-2 climbing three spots in the rankings from week 2. Chiefs finally got high quality productions out of Hucci who did finish the week winning PLOTW award. Finishing the week with 600+ yards 11tds and 4 sacks on the defensive side of the ball. Coming into the week hucci has not had the best season. As well as his QB brethren Ebokstop both have been struggling in the win loss category. But all that changed this week with Ebok going 2-1 his only loss coming to the #2 powerhouse Browns, and huccie going 3-0. If the chiefs are fixing their struggles it is going to be a big issue moving forward into the playoffs. They were power ranked second by most polls coming into the season and has been a disappointment for the most part. All that may change a lot to watch for in week 4. To see if Ebok can produce another winning week and if hucci can keep a steady consistent pace with his week 3 POTW performance.

BY THE NUMBERS

 
  • PF: 1st  (709)
  • PA:3rd  (511)
  • WK 3: 7-2

PROS:

-High powered offense, Madden wise and user wise
-Solid high point targets
-high quality user QBs

Cons:
-Chiefs defense, Horrible run defense
-Mediocre RBs on madden roster

#4

Tampa bay Buccaneers 14-13

GB 1 (Week 3 record 5-4) LW 4 (-)

The Buccaneers in the preseason were the consensus #1 team. But with a struggling DTM koolaidz who has had every DC in the league on his line this season and still somehow finds a way to struggle. The buccaneers find themselves at number 4 once again. Which may not be a horrible place to be. With abyss coming through with a 3-0 week and Koolaidz getting some clutch wins that were truly needed. The Buccaneers give a strong feeling that they may be on the rise. It is definitely not an offensive issue their woes are coming on the defensive side of the ball. Having the 3rd worst defense in the league. Although improving that by one spot last week the Buccaneers had the second to last defense in the league. Progression? who knows. But it is the one and only consistent issue the Buccaneers face game in and game out. How will they get stops. With high powered offenses from koolaids and abyss, if the Bucs can find a way to rally the defensive troops they may find themselves a true threat in the playoffs.

BY THE NUMBERS

  • PF: 3rd (627)

  • PA: 5th (611)

  • WK 3:(5-4)

PROS:
-Strong offensive production from all lines.
-MVP caliber QBs
-Strong OLINE

Cons
-All defenses are struggling
-No pass rush madden player.

#5

Buffalo Bills 14-13

GB - (Week 3 record 5-4) LW #5 (-)

The Bills are still in the mix for a solid seat in the playoffs. They have had solid offensive play, nothing that breaks the barrier but solid. With von miller being out the bills have still been able to remain a competitive defensive unit. and will continue to do so pushing forward to week 3. Leading the way in the defensive aspect is Areis. Who is a front runner for DBOTY. But the big news for the bills this week was the acquisition of commissioner TMO. With trade deadline looming the bills made a las second transaction to acquire TMO via trade with the eagles, Eagles will receive highwalker in return, the bills just recently recieved highwalker in a trade with the Bengals. So essentially a three-way trade. With TMO hitting the bills roster where he spent season 6 he is looking to make some changes. The once self-proclaimed minister of defense has not been nearly defensive this season starting with Buccs having struggles there then getting shopped around and ending up here heading into week 4 with the bills. The bills who are in a comfy spot looking to secure the playoff spot this week will look to tmo to help improve the mediocre roster here on the bills. The bills have a solid opportunity to make a splash in the playoffs they just have to work around the lack of von miller and use their weapons to their advantage which seems to be the case for a few lines there already. They will need high production from their QBs and strong stands on defense when the opportunity arises and then they may have a shot at the ship at the end of the season.

BY THE NUMBERS

PF: 6th (464)

PA: 5th (569)

WK 3 :5-4

PROS:
-Top tier madden QB
-ability stacked wr
-DBOTY on roster

Cons
-No pass rush abilities since von has gone
-lack of speed
-mediocre QBs on roster

6th

Greenbay packers 14-13

GB - (Week 3 record 3-6) LW#3 (-3)

The packers have had a rough go this week. Their money line with the “MUT BOYS” have fallen apart. I know for sure hexied and crew lost two this week. Hard to see how bad they did with no stats being entered yet in specific games. After losing their first games the Hexied line fell apart not only blowing up on his line in game but also reflecting his feeling in discord. Going on a personal attack rant which in the end ended up getting him muted “Indefinitely”. This breakdown from the self-proclaimed “BEST LINE IN VFL HISTORY” is a harsh reality for the Packers. How they recover from such a tragic week is a sight we all will look apon as week 4 closes in. and how the packers recover as a whole moving into the playoffs. Falling to rank 6 after having a great first half of the season is a bit of a shocker. The packers will have to bounce back and grab some momentum going into the playoffs. Needing hexied to gather his thoughts and start playing like they need him to play. and not throwing a tantrum in discord. Maybe just maybe the packers will have some sort of shot at any type of success in the playoffs. But honestly in my opinion i do not see this happening. I feel the packers are just to mediocre not only in madden but also in league roster. They are neither good nor bad just there.

BY THE NUMBERS

PF: 7th (431)

PA: 4th (529)

WK 3: 3-6

Pros:
-Alot of height at wr
-Best thro animation in madden
-Good young line in the league

Cons
-No stand out wr

Cincinnati Bengals 10-17

GB 4 (Week 3 record 4-5) LW #7 (-)

The bengals are not looking good. Struggling to having a winning week. The Bengals playoff hopes are grim. With being 4 games behind they will need a miracle to make a playoff birth. With only 9 games in the week and 4 games behind the Bengals will need to win at least 7 and pray for a crumble of the packers. With none of their QBs having a winning record through 3 weeks, their playoff appearance is looking nonexistent. All season long the Bengals have struggled to get a head of their losses and going into week 4 nothing is different. With trading Highwalker for crazy effects I don’t see this being the game changing move they need to make it pass the mountain the Bengals have been climbing all season. Although may smooth some things out in the locker room it doesn’t appear that locker room antics is the issue here. But we shall see.

Philidelphia Eagles 5-21

GB 9 (Week 3 1-8) LW 8 (-)

Im going to try and be as gentle as i can here. There was some chaos at the trade deadline with some players around the league having issues with a team whom is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs making a trade when it benefits them none. I do believe they are mathematically eliminated even if they go 9-0 and the packers go 0-9 i assume the packers would still have the tie breakers. So the best thing i can say about the Eagles is that the owner johnny wheels will make sure no matter what that his team is there for their games. In doing so will not produce any FFs. Other than that this team is only here to play and enjoy themselves. There season will end at the end of week 4.

Hitters & Shitters Part 2

Part 2 of Hitters and Shitters is here. It will be a slightly different then last week but not much different.

 

Hitters

 

1) – TxJamesSmithTx – TxJamesSmith put together another great week just like week 1. 3-0 for the second week in a row with a 6-0 record in season 2. If James can keep this up for another 2 weeks he will be right in the thick of things in the MVP race. Over 600 passing yards and 10 touchdown passes James was surely a hitter in week 2.

2) – F34R Painkiller – F34R finds himself back on this list back to back weeks. F34R so far has to be the front runner for MVP. His dominance on both sides of the ball says it all with a season record of 5-1. F34R numbers took a hit from compared to week 1 but the numbers are still there. Over 450 rushing yards and 9 sacks on the week still has him leading the league in both rushing yards and sacks within the league.

3) – AbyssZl – Abyss had himself a week like we are used to seeing in Madden 22. Abyss racked up over 1,000 passing yards and threw 11 touchdowns in week 2. Abyss is the only VFL 2x MVP and he is getting back to the dominance we are all used to and except.

4) – Hxied – The new kid on the block and he made sure the block was hot in week 2. This guy wasn’t even on a roster in week 1 and instantly comes in and makes a impact for the Packers. Going 3-0 in week 2 with great numbers on both sides of the ball. In the league chat he ideally said he put a end to the Minster of Defense ( Tmo ). Im excited to see if he will keep this up for the remainder of the season. Rumor has it he has called out the Chargers this week and hes ready to put the league on notice.

5) – TPBraves – Bengals owner TPBraves  at the beginning of the season said the only competition was the Bucs and he was looking to make a superbowl run. TPBraves put up some impressive numbers in week 2 with a 2-1 record. Throwing for over 750 passing yards with 8 touchdown passes and 1 interception is good for this being his first time playing Quarterback. Looking for him to keep these numbers up in week 3.

6) – IRxBrady – Brady is known for being one of the leagues best Quarterback for the past 6 seasons , however he has stepped away and showing everyone not only is he a good QB but he can also play a little running back as well. Brady led the league in rushing week 2 with over 660 rushing yards while averaging 12.3 yards per carry.

7) – LuckyyDabs – Luckyy for some time now has claimed nobody in the league ever gives him any credit and he proclaims himself as ( Top 5 ). Luckyy had a week that not even I expected he could put together. Lucky was 11 yards short of passing for 800 yards in week 2 and also had 10 touchdown passes in light of his GM stepping down and had to make some roster changes to keep his team afloat.

 

Shitters

 

1) – WB OmnixGod – OmnixGod is a surprise to me that he made my shitter list on the week. I looked and saw he was 0-3 on the week and Im very shocked Omni would allow himself to go 0-3 in a week. Omni was cut from the Packers last week and I didnt know why. Omni was just a superbowl winning Quarterback about a month ago and now hes been cut and went 0-3 on his new team. Do better Omni because we expect better from you!

2) – Warpath – Warpath is either hot or cold and this week he found himself in freezing water. Going 1-2 on the week with a very low completion percentage with only 1 touchdown pass and 5 interceptions Warpath had to make my shitter list. Im expecting a bounce back week from Warpath in week 3.

3) – JusttSmoove – Another former Packer who found himself traded. It is very unlike JusttSmoove to have a week with only 6 carries and 23 rushing yards with 0 defensive stats. Smoove is usually one of the league best running back and he just had a huge drop off in product. Im expecting a bounce back from Smoove in week 3.

4) – DTM Koolaidz , Ungluetiger , Tmo – Like week 1 I picked a line that was very underwhelming and this line fit the bill. This is a line that was expected to be one of the leagues best and the managed to put together a 0-3 week. There week was so bad as a line all 3 of the QBs they faced this week made my hitters list this week. As I said in week 1 the line of Hutch , Goodfella and KingxJon had to be broken up. Before I could even get this out TMO has already been shipped off to Philly and Nate will fill in for TMO in Tampa. Will this line improve or remain a struggle bus?

 

 

AFL

 

Wanted to give a shout out to our guys in the AFL doing a wonderful job. We have 4 people running a AFL team currently and we will be looking to expand that in the upcoming seasons. AFL is very important to our league and we can’t grow as a league without them. Shout out to these few guys helping out and balling in the AFL. UserBFlawless , WTB Buckets , Bhedden , SixthMallard , n8 nice , Blunkey , da champ owns and many more!

 

HIGH TIMES TOP 8 QB RANKINGS

#8. HXIED “BIGGEST PRO = LOW salary & MASSIVE POTENTIAL / BIGGEST CON = CAN HE ONLY SUCCEED WITH HIS MUT FRIENDS?”.

The only true VFL rookie QB to make the list, since TPBRAVES technically played WR last season. Sure, AR is a cheat code to user, but running with the Green Bay offense, IS NOT. What makes HXIED’s performance thus far even more spectacular, is the fact that he was a late addition to his team and basically had to jump right in… Not only to a new team, but a team that was in VFL turmoil after their GM retired and two different core players were traded away. 

#7. BLKSUP3RSA1YAN “BIGGEST PRO = MASSIVE DUAL THREAT ABILITY/ BIGGEST CON = REPETITIVE & bASIC PLAYCALLING”.

Quite possibly, one of the most enjoyable to watch QBs in our league, BLK is someone who simply sees the field different from most QBs in the VFL- more than likely due to his RB background. Another major selling point of this QB is his willingness to get his user WR involved – not just throwing to himself on most plays. 

#6. TPBRAVES “biggest pro = great scheme/utilizes every player on the field/ biggest con = inexperienced and plays timid at times”.

BRAVES has proved many doubters wrong so far this season with his ability to win big games and keep pace statistically with fellow top VFL QB’s. From firsthand experience, this QB has the potential to be a top 8 play caller for many seasons to come- ideally moving forward you would like to see him develop a relationship with fellow VFL talent, so his lines aren’t always thrown together last second and lacking past chemistry.  

#5. EBOK “biggest pro = elite playbook knowledge / biggest con = hot and cold team performances, never consistently winning games”.

Ebok is most certainly on the VFL’s Mount Rushmore of league quarterbacks. It seems like every season he’s either the favorite or a strong dark horse SB candidate. Statistically speaking his numbers outshine most, but his current W/L record and low completion percentage are slight concerns. One thing is for certain, when watching or playing against his line, the game is going to be a complete shoot out! 

#4. CHAMP “Biggest pro = has some nearly impossible mut plays to stop/ biggest con = if highpoint passing wasnt so op, would he do this well”?

Champ is living the good life this season. Not only does he have the blessing of using the Chargers offense, but he fortunately has the blessing of using the best High point passer in Madden per his in-game abilities. Either way, we can’t take away from his success thus far, with a nearly perfect season record and a very strong TD to INT ratio, one thing is for certain when Champ lines up for a VFL game- his opponents have a very tough road ahead of them. 

#3. LUCKY “Biggest pro = possibly the leagues best game manager / biggest con = good at everything, great at minimal”.

This QB deserves a lot of credit this season. From constant ridiculing in general chat, to players leaving and lines being changed ultra-frequently- LUCKY has been able to drown out the noise and simply focus on winning football games. His stats won’t blow you away, but he does lead the league in completion percentage- which tells me, he’s making the right decision more times than not.  

#2. ABYSS ” biggest pro = plays madden like an actual qb would/ biggest con = lets too many winnable games slip away”.

Ironically speaking, Abyss might be our league’s version of Tom Brady once you break down the all-time stats. I would say he’s probably the most sought after QB to play for, posing very minimal ego and always in consideration for a league title. There’s not much I could say here, that hasn’t been said before by most other league members. Abyss could easily be our #1 ranked QB if his record wasn’t a surprising 3-3.

#1. TXJAMESSMITHTX ” biggest pro = most efficient qb in our league/ biggest con = none at this moment”.

All you really need to say is 6-0 record. When our league revealed it’s early MVP Canidates and TXJAMES wasn’t listed, I truly believe we could have broken the VFL’s code of conduct and started a riot!  

Week 2 Power rankings BY TXJAMES

#1

LA CHARGERS

13-5

The Chargers have been on a tear since starting the season. Finishing week one with a 6-3 record. Going into week 2 looking to improve on the strong start. And did just that. Finishing week 2 7-2 was an improvement. With their only losses coming from their third line and at the hands of huskynuts. With strong play from King champ, da accountant, and Farah finishing 5-1 after two weeks. Is a huge reason the chargers are sitting at number one. Having strong play on both sides of the ball. with champ finishing high on the QB charts in almost all categories. The chargers are going to be an issue for all teams. If their 3rd line can get it together this could be a walk in to the number one seed going into the playoffs.

#2

Cleveland Browns

11-7

THE CLEVELAND BROWNS, This team has been getting things done. They are scrappy and gritty just like you would expect from a Cleveland browns team. They have dominated to the run game, I MEAN DOMINATED. no one is close to their rushing totals all three of their backs are in the top the in almost every rushing category. Rightly so with nick Chubb in your backfield there is no reason to go elsewhere. With brady switching to RB it was something a lot of people were looking forward to seeing this season, but the man has not disappointed. Coming off a QBOTY award last season to playing RB this season was something that a bit shocking. But with his 11.2 ypc he has been spectacular. As well as the other RBs alongside him, with painkiller and brady already after 6 games already surpassing the 1k yard mark. Northsides has been struggling in comparison to the other 2. Only sustaining a 6.6 YPC number which is well under the 11+ from his backfield teammates. That being said with Desean Watson coming back this week we did see a slight uptick in passes from the Browns this week. Maybe this will help the Northsides and the other browns running backs improve, being able to implement slightly more balance to their game may open up the offense even more so than it already is. Let’s not forget about the defensive side of the ball though. Miles garret has been a menace to all QBs who have played against the Browns. Painkiller leads the league in sacks. With majority of those 22.5 sacks coming in one game against Blunky racking up 9.5 in the single meeting between the two. These types of performances is the reason the browns are sitting at number 2 on the week 2 power rankings list

Greenbay Packers

11-7

The GB Packers land themselves here at the #3 spot losing the tie breakers to the Browns, This team is in all aspects as of right now the Cinderella story of the VFL. These guys have been performing at a rate that no one in the league other than themselves could for see. WRNZO has been a menace at rb averaging over 15 ypc on 29 attempts this man is on a tear and will stop at nothing clearly to get GB on the map couple that with his 7.5 sacks, which is not an easy feat with GB pass rushing core. At the beginning of the season a lot of people were already chomping at the bit to put GB on their schedule as a stat game. NOT ANYMORE. GB has showed up and showed out, even after losing their gm in week one. The owner stated after the GM retired that it would not affect the team and they would continue on their path to win the ring. Which to be honest we thought he was exaggerating, nevermore he is in the process of letting the play speak for itself. there is no statistics from these guys that are absolutely eye popping, EXCEPT. Cruce world and hxied are finishing up this week 3-0 and are helping GB make the push the owner promised. on the other hand, you have the owner Lucky Dabs holding the highest completion % in the league at 70% with 100 attempts. So Greenbay is here and they are not playing NEW GM NEW TEAM SAME FIGHT. #PACKATTACK

#4

TB Buccaneers

9-9

This may be the biggest shock after two weeks. They still have player stats that are not in at the time of writing this so its hard to get a complete view of what is going on in tampa. But i will say GREEN BAY ran tampa into the ground. with 5 tds in one game and 4 in another not knowing the final score bc it was not posted. With a loaded team with Koolaidz and abyss. Abyss having a great season on offense leading the league in TDs with 18 but finishing after 2 weeks 3-3 must be something on the defensive side of the ball. The Buccaneers are struggling to find consistency and it is showing in their record. All preseason power rankings placed this team at number one but with Koolaidz struggling and Abyss not finding wins when needed they find themselves falling in the power rankings i do believe they will be a playoff team and if they can fix their defensive woes they could be more than that but at this verry moment the buccaneers are issues putting up winning streaks and finding success on the defensive side of the ball. Cleaning up a few things specifically forcing turnovers on defense their record would be a whole lot better.

Buffalo Bills

9-9

The Bills are a solid team with good competitors. Although they are struggling against the better competition in the league as a team. On the other hand they are winning the games they should beating the lower ranked teams heavily. With only 8 teams that is a recipe for playoffs. Once getting there though there is no lower ranked teams to hide behind you will have to perform and they have the players to do it. Losing von miller is a big blow though for the bills. And will make it difficulty for them moving forward especially when it comes to the heavy passing teams which most teams in the league are. Rushing the passer was a huge factor when selecting the bills in the bidding, So much so that when miller went down owner Ace boogs wanted to switch teams before the season started. Not allowing him to switch ace and his guys had to make do with what was left. And in most cases have done so finishing week two with an overall record of 9-9 is not a bad place to sit. Its a current playoff seed and gives you an opportunity to push for a ship which for most of us is the main goal. With the bills losing vonn and the users not having any QB in the top ten passing stats leaderboard it begs the question of how will they conitnue to win? When their star defensive player is gone and they are not taking advantage of the QB Josh allens potential its going to continue to be a tough road for them moving forward. Don’t mistake the wording they do have competitors who have the potential to take any game to the wire and force last minute drives in their favor. The issue is consistency and how to get hot on the back end of the schedule. In an 8 team season its going to be difficult with high competition

As shown the bills as a team will need to do better and adjust that PF and PA they rank near the bottom of the league and will need to adress that. Doing so should result in more win streaks and leaderboard climbing they also need to get higher play form their QBs with Von miller gone they really need to score every possession on offense.

#6

Kansas City Chiefs

8-10

This like the buccaneers is shocking. Its shocking to see a team ran by a top tier QB so low on the power rankings list. Finishing week 2 at 8-10 Ebokstop should be ashamed of himself regardless of how the loses came about. I am more than aware at what the chiefs struggle with and understand defense with that team is not easy. But finishing week 2 18 games in with only 8 wins is embarrassing and ebok trolls alot but i know it hurst his ego sitting this low on the rankings list. Its obviously a defensive issue when two of the three QBs on your team is in the top ten passing leaders list. As well as an underperforming Hucci selected as Eboks GM Hucci has been struggling horribly with Mahomes only scoring 8tds followed up with 8ints. This is not the recipe for success especially when you are handpicked for a GM spot that is needed to have a high skill level. in order to make a push to the super bowl typically. BLKsupersa1yan has been carrying holding the team right now with as many wins as hucci and ebok combined finishing week 2 with a 4-2 record. Luckily for ebok and hucci that he is. Giving them time to figure out what is going on with their individual lines. I’m aware the loses have been awkward but that being said from players like ebok and hucci the games should not be a one possession game anyway much less losing on a missed FG or int on the last drive. these are things that should not happen.

#7

Cincinatti Bengals

6-11

The Bengals have done surprisingly better than i expected the play from TPBraves has been extremely competitive. Has put himself in positions to win games they probably had no chance in. Braves is the only one of the Bengal’s who is in any top ten category for them he is finishing up this week with a 3-3 record. One of his three wins is over the 5-1 line of the chargers who did play them again this week and got redemption but his mere win over a line that otherwise has not lost shows his competitiveness and willing to scrap regardless of the competition. As of right now if the season ended today the Bengals would miss the playoffs by one spot 2 games. With only 8 teams this season is going to be competitive to the end and a team that in any other scenario with more than 8 teams would make the playoffs, but someone has to miss. IMO the two that may miss is either bills, Bengals or eagles. They will be scrapping for that final spot. i fell it will come down to the end the bills are in a good spot rn but a few adjustments that can get braves some help and the Bengal’s can make a push

Philadelphia Eagles

4-13

The Eagles have been struggling. Under johnny wheels and blunkey who had a great draft and struggled week one and followed that up with another bad week. Thye are seemed to be doomed Trading away players who could help along with demand a trade requests. The great bidding had fallen apart. Shady has not lived up to any sort of stable option at QB neither has any other QB the eagles have on roster. Its reflecting via their record. The eagles are struggling to find wins no matter who they play, or whom plays for them. Its been a disaster and they are struggling to pick up the pieces with only two weeks left they have to turn it around RN if they look to make a playoff push. They are 4 games out of playoffs right now and need a strong week winning at least 6 games this week and hope for some other teams to continue to struggle in order to have a prayer at sniffing the playoffs going into week 4.

(NOT ENOUGH INFO TO MANY STATS MISSING)

The eagles are in poor shape it looks like their defense is showing promise but needs help scoring the ball maybe hurts aj brown getting superstar abilities may help although hurts have not gotten any throwing abilities maybe they can turn into a raven’s offense and just QB run with his new abilities and maybe scrape together some more win because 4 wins through two weeks is not good its horrible.

High Times – Power Rankings V4

#8 JOHNNY WHEELS x BLUNKEY (LAST WEEK #8) 

An A for effort is about as far as we will go when applauding anything this team has done so far this season. Johnny Wheels deserved an opportunity to possibly show the league that an owner does not have to be a former top tier player to succeed at running a team. Unfortunately, after starting the year 4-13 maybe this whacky experiment gone wrong will act as a warning to future unprepared owners. 

 #7 TPBRAVES x MIDNIGHT (LAST WEEK #6)

The Bengals should be thankful they are playing this season alongside The Eagles. If that wasn’t the case, much more negative attention would be circulating this team. Sitting at 6-11, with a HUGE game tonight with major playoff implications, this team is the master of their own domain. It’s hard to say where this team lands by next week, obviously I’m a little bias due to the fact I’m MR BENGAL himself, but because of that, I also see the major potential this team possesses if everything goes correct. Win or lose, Owner and GM (Braves & Midnight) are having phenomenal statistical seasons and at the very least they can use this season as momentum moving forward into Season 8. 

 #6 ACEBOOGS x BWALL (LAST WEEK #7)

I find this team very enjoyable to root for and root against, depending on how I’m feeling that day. Ace and Bwall are both VFL veterans that speak their mind and can never be told they don’t have vision. As I look down their roster, Sacrifice, Ibprofam, Aries, Warpath, Crazy Effectz, these are all extremely talented players, utilizing an extremely talented Bills team, even after the Von Miller injury. If you ask me, I would they’re probably one trade away from truly being able to complete in the Season 7 Playoffs. Statistically speaking, Warpath either needs to be delt or figure out how to pass the football again- even though Allen is a very run friendly QB, 1TD x 5INT will simply not get it done. Their recipe for success will definitely be improving that 3rd line.  

 #5 EBOK x HUCCI (LAST WEEK #2)

Look, I’m not going to get carried away here and make the same mistake I did in Season 6.  Sure, the Chiefs currently sit at 8-10, their heavily dependent on high point passes and they already have a FF and a 2v3 game that resulted in a loss late last night. Either way, let’s make one thing absolutely clear- until Ebok and the Chiefs are statistically eliminated from the playoff race (Which I doubt will happen), Any and every team that would face them come playoff time will be shaking in their Yeezy boots. This team is still dangerous, I’m curious to see if Ebok can quickly turn things around similar to how he did last season. 

 #4 LUCKY (LAST WEEK #5)

I have to give this man credit; at the beginning of Season 7 this team was a giant ball of toxic waste. You had one of the most undermining, overly confident GM’s I’ve personally ever seen- ruling with an iron fist and causing issue after issue as he made his team development decisions. Flash forward to today, the GM is gone and 3 trades later… it seems like Lucky has finally found his footing. Sitting at 11-7 and riding a 4-game winning streak, Lucky and company seem poised to make a strong playoff run and they’re also doing this while utilizing an All-Rookie 3rd line!  

#3 ABYSS x KOOLAIDZ (LAST WEEK #1) 

So, I’m a little shocked to see this team’s recent fall from grace… On one end Abyss is hands down the best QB in the league so far with 18TDS x 5 INTS, on the other end- his supposed #2 line of KoolAidz, TMO and Tiger have been lackluster to say the least. No matter what, here’s the dealio- this team will make the playoffs and be a tough out, NO MATTER WHAT. I would assume the biggest question mark moving forward is the Utah gang and their inability to score points, even though their other 2 lines are involved in major high scoring games more times than not. 

 #2 DROCK x BRADY (LAST WEEK # 4)

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

#1 TXJAMES x CHAMP (LAST WEEK #3)

The Chargers were my dark horse SB candidates this season and as it currently sits, my prediction for them may come true. 13-5 record with a 4-game winning streak, the high point specialist Justin Herbert has possibly surpassed Tom Brady as the most annoying QB to play against in Madden. As we go deeper into this season, I personally believe high point passing will get nerfed, as I’m writing this article now, supposedly that has already happened- we shall see. No matter what, this team is a legit contender and I want to give credit to their Owner, GM and 3 lines for being some of the easiest people to deal with in this chaotic league.

VFL Week 1 By The Numbers

I’m making a list of the top 10 players who are responsible for the most points in week 1. It will be a combination of total touchdowns on both sides of the ball plus field goals made. Also on thing the league doesn’t really do is give enough credit to our defensive coordinators. I will have a list of the top 5 defensive coordinators in the first week. Those will be list by points per game allowed. If the opposing team got a defensive touchdown those points will not count towards the Defensive Coordinator.

 

Total Points Scored

 

1) – Eboktsop – ( 79 points ) Ebok is the leagues leading score , he is responsible for 79 of his team points. Ebok has 9 passing touchdowns , 1 rushing touchdown and has made 3 field goals in week 1.

2) – BLKSUP3RSA1YAN – ( 65 points ) BLKSUP3RSA1YAN is the leagues 2nd leading scorer with 65 points. 7 passing touchdowns , 1 rushing touchdowns and has made 3 field goals in week 1.

3) – KingxChamp – ( 59 points ) KingxChamp is the league 3rd leading scorer with 59 points. 7 touchdown passes , 1 defensive touchdown and 1 field goals in week 1.

4) – AbyssZL – ( 55 points ) Abyss is the league 4th leading scorer with 55 points. 7 touchdown passes and 2 field goals in week 1.

5) – T1Anime – ( 54 points ) T1Anime the first non Quarterback on the list has a total of 54 points in week 1. 9 receiving touchdowns.

6) – Ace Boogs & TP Braves – ( 49 points ) Both of these guys had 6 touchdown passes and 1 rushing touchdowns in week 1.

7) -TxJamesSmith , Gabe ILy  , Midnightyork – ( 48 points ) – All 3 of these guys scored a total of 48 points in week 1.

8)- F34R Painkiller , IR Brady , HuskyNuts , Redwater , FarahEnFuego – ( 42 points ) All 5 of these guys scored a total of 42 points in week 1.

9) – xxHucci – ( 41 points ) Hucci scored a total of 41 points in week 1. 5 passing touchdowns and 2 field goals

10) – R0GUEAPOLLO – ( 36 points ) R0GUE scored a total of 36 points in week 1. 6 Receiving touchdowns

 

 

Defensive Coordinators

 

1) – Th3 R3al3st 260 – ( 9.6 points per game ) Currently R3al3st is allowing the fewest points per game with only 9.6 on average. This defense also has a total of 4 sacks and 4 interceptions. Along with R3al3st the players on this line Gabe ILy , BLKSUP3RSA1YAN are the league top defensive unit in week 1.

2) – Route Tech Tmo – ( 12.6 points per game ) Tmo is consistently known for being one of the leagues best as a defensive coordinator. Tmo is only allowing 12.6 points per game on the defensive side of the ball. Along with DTM Koolaidz , Ungluedtiger and one game from a ecu Smash6090 this defensive is currently top 2 in the VFL.

3) – FarahEnFuego – ( 13 points per game ) Farah is allowing only 13 points per game which is 3rd fewest in the league. Along with KingxChamp and DaAccountant this defense has 4 sacks and 5 interceptions on the season.

4) – Vermont AP – ( 13.6  points per game ) Vermont probably a surprise on this list is only allowing 13.6 points per game. Along with Vermont , Swift and Utah ( The AP boys ) are allowing a 4th league low in only 13.6 points per game.

5) – SixthMallard940 – ( 14 points per game ) It makes since that Mallard is on this list because F34R is leading the league in sacks. Mallard is currently ranked number 5 an comes in at the last spot for top 5 defensive coordinators in week 1 of the VFL. As I stated F34R is the stat guy of this defense but Mallard is the signal caller along with Browns owner Drock on the line.

 

Hitters & Shitters!

This will be part 1 of my article which will be posted once a week. This is week 1 addition of Hitters & Shitters. We will be taking a looks a players who hit if off well from a week to week basis while also looking at the players who shit the bed on a week to week basis.

 

Hitters

1) – TxJamesSmithTx – TxJamesSmith put together a stellar week 1. Not only is he the owner leagues 2nd ranked team but he also put up so great number week 1.  James currently has the league best touchdown to interception ratio at 6 touchdowns and 0 Interceptions. He also holds the league second best completion percentage at 67.6%.  All those numbers are great but for me the most important stat is TxJamesSmith is the only QB without a loss on his record.  In week 1 James has wins over Drock , Hutch , Ace Boogs. TxJamesSmith was the one of my hitters for week 1 with his stats and record , the question is will these numbers are wins continue?

2) – F34R Painkiller – First question I have to ask is this Ugongetthiswork 2.0? In week 1 F34R put up off the chart type numbers with a league leading 666 rushing yards ( hes the devil ) and also a league leading 11.5 sacks. While some will say ” well he has Nick Chubb and Myles Garrett ” that might be true but hes still putting up the numbers. He is out performing both of the other running backs on his team Brady and Northzide with less carries and more yards then both. Not only is he out rushing North by almost 300 more yards but he is almost has tripled him in sacks while North was has a salary of 14.5 million and F34R was only 500k. Early on in the season it clear F34R was the best value pick in the bidding. Will this continue or will F34R numbers take a nose dive after week 1?

3) – Crazy Effectz – This guy had a great week at WR. Now looking at his numbers he is ranked 10th at Wide Receiver as far as yard go. But its beyond the numbers it was watching the user skill at wide out and watching his ability to get open. When watching Crazy Effectz against the Chiefs it looked like he was out there running circles around Breesus the self proclaimed best defensive coordinator in the VFL. Not matter what coverage shell the Chiefs put out there this guy found a way to get open. Also while putting up these numbers he was put in a situation where he had to play with two different Quarterbacks during the week which is not easy for a WR to be in sync with different Quarterbacks. Crazy Effectz was another steal in the bidding at for only 1 million.

4) – BLKSUP3RSA1YAN – BLKSUP3RSA1YAN in week 1 had a great week outside of missing a game tying FG because he was higher then a kite ( Literally ). His passing touchdowns in week 1 ( 7 ) are at the same amount of touchdown passes he had total in all of season 6.  His passing yards are also the highest ( lol ) out of any QB who was selected in the bidding within week 1.  BLKSUP3RSA1YAN is the only QB on the Chiefs roster with a winning record. I think if we went back and did the bidding all over again BLKSUP3RSA1YAN would 100% go for more the 4 million considering he was on the superbowl runner up team from season 6. Can BLKSUP3RSA1YAN keep these numbers up or will his ( high ) come down.

 

 

Shitters

 

1) – Natecashmney – I am very confused when looking at these box scores , Nate has 32 carries , 54 yards and 0 touchdowns YIKKKKEEEESSSSS. Not only is Nate giving the Eagles nothing in from a rushing stand point he is also allowing around 23 points per game as a defensive coordinator. It safe to say with my favorite quote ( Nate is looking like free ass ). Nate is usually a running back who runs the ball better then most and also is known for making plays defensively. With a 14.5 million dollar salary im expecting better from you Nate. DO YOUR JOB.

2) – The Line of Hutch , GoodFellaTg , xKINGJONx – This is the only line in the league that has a record of 0-3 lol. Hutch has the 2nd lowest completion percentage at 47.4% , Jon as a RB/DL only has 151 yards and 1 sack , GoodfellaTg as a DC/DB only has 1 defensive stat LMAO. This line is simply not meshing together and probably needs some type of change. This line is only score 11 points per game while giving up 23 points per game. They put up points and can’t get a stop , I think its safe to say a changing is coming in the near future with this line.

3) – KWAM34MVP – When playing with a quarterback like Abyss expectations are high and KWAM3 has not lived up to the expectations as a defensive coordinator. This defensive is giving up 25 points per game which I believe is the 2nd worst defense points wise besides Omni , Brisket  , Smoove who KWAM3 line somehow managed to lose too. From experience of playing with Abyss he thrives off good defense and good RB play and KWAM3 doesn’t seem to be giving him much of either. Might be time to try out Redwater at DC and see if things change for the better.

4) – DfeetU44 – Dfeet numbers for a 7 million price tag are simply underwhelming. He has the leagues lowest completion percentage at 46% with only 1 touchdown pass. Also on the defensive side of the ball he isn’t giving them much with only 2 pass deflections. Dfeet is one of the leagues highest paid Quarterbacks from the bidding while also giving you the WORST numbers by any QB in the league this far. Dfeet is simply gonna have to get the passing game going to open up the running game for North. At this point I would consider coming out in goal line defense to see if he can make a throw.

Week 1 Shockers!

In this article we will cover good bad and in-between. As we look at some of the most shocking news through week one of the VFL’s NFL season 7.

WHATS WITH LOGIC?

Packers GM retires, Replacement?

Week one of the season is officially in the books, we already have our first general manager quit. With Nedley aka Logic stepping down and retiring. Sources have stated that he had stepped down due to a disagreement with personnel with the owner Luckydabs. Which is something that is pretty common among the NFL level. We have ran into this issue in the past, referencing Ponchy from season one, the owner of the SUPER BOWL winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah the same Ponchy who lost his GM week one and proceeded on to win the Super Bowl. The question will be is Lucky going to be able to do the same. 

I was able to speak with the owner of the Packers about the situation to try and find out what happened and who he was going to replace him with and this was his response.

Q: TXJAMESSMITHTX
Can i get some insight on what happened with Nedley?

A: Lucky Dabs (Packers Owner)
So basically me and Nedley personalities just didn’t click at all. I realized that after a few times in parties with him, so I just knew over time we was going to clash at some point. Logic wanted Cause on the team I took a chance on him. He’s a top MUT player but dude only calls one play the whole game. It probably works in MUT but not in the VFL. Well after the games last night Logic wanted me to cut Omni and Smoove for these 2 new rookies in the league which I had no problem calling them up but I’m not cutting Omni and Smoove. Why not cut Cause that’s struggling in the VFL and make the change that way. When I said that Logic said stick to my plan or I’ll quit. So I told him I wasn’t doing that and he quit. I have no hard feelings towards logic he had a set view of what he thought could win us a SB and I respect him for that and wish we could’ve balled out together this season.

Q:TXJAMESSMITHTX
How will this effect your season going forward and who do you have your eye on for the replacement as your GM?

A: Lucky Dabs (Packers Owner)
This has effected us some but not a lot. We have already made changes to lineups and putting our ring season team back together and ready to ball. As far as GM goes there is one guy I picked and he already accepted which is Redhour.


Lucky does not seem to be in poor spirits and seems to want to proceed on with the Super Bowl aspirations he started the season with. Losing a GM is a big loss no matter which way you want to look at it. With Redhour coming in quickly and looking to make a quick impact in his GM duties they may be able to stay on track and proceed to the main goal which is to the championship. 

GOOD GRIEF THE CHIEFS

The Chiefs are off to a ROUGH start

The Chiefs have had a tough start. Fortunately for them it comes by their own doing. The Kansas City Chiefs have lost 2 games due to missed field goals and another to some rumored “SHADY PLAY”. With that being recognized it’s clearly at their own demise, they should have no issues turning their season around. They have solid top talent on their user roster with Hucci and of course Ebokstop piloting Mahomes on another line. 

Their record is 4-5 which will have them hovering in the middle of the standings going into week two. The only line on the chiefs at the moment with a winning record is Realest, which should be the case seeing how he has a 16.5 million dollar shoe to fill. Good to see that the money was well spent. With Ebok and Hucci both going 1-2. I believe it is safe to assume Ebok will turn his season around losing one of his two games off a missed game winning field goal attempt and some poor ball management. The Chiefs who almost everyone power ranked them #2 in preseason polls, I believe will recover and finish near the top by the end of the season.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A TRADE?

We are talking transactions BABY!

Since there has been so many transactions, we are just going to cover the highlights right here an all-in-one basis.

AFL CALL UPS

1. x King Jon x is being called up to the VFL Eagles and Ugonegetthiswork is being sent down to waivers for 24 hours! If they clear waivers they will be placed on the AFL Eagles! 

King Jon as I stated in a previous article, this player was going to be playing on the NFL level before the season was over. It is a good call up for the Eagles, he is an extremely reliable player, will give you solid production and you cannot beat the price, 500k. With this call up Ugonegetthiswork was placed on waivers and to the surprise of many, no one made a claim for him. He was sent down because the Eagles were unable to find a trade partner for him and the allotted time they had to trade him ran out. The Eagles wanted the former NFL MVP on the roster but after butting heads with owner/GM he wanted out of Philly and now has done just that. After not being claimed and sent to the AFL I believe that is where he remains.

2. TWC Warpath is being called up to the VFL Bills and Prime Living is being sent down to waivers for 24 hours! If they clear waivers they will be placed on the AFL Bills!

TWC Warpath was as well in my article (https://primetimeleagues.com/vfl/2022/11/25/afl-top-5-most-likely-to-call-up/) from last week were you can find warpath at number one. It is no surprise to see him being called up. He does however lead the NFL in interceptions all time. That being said he can get some wins, when no one thinks he will. A solid call up for the Bills and should perform well with Josh Allen.

TRADES

Cleveland Browns receive: I Fig 1 – 500k – RB/LB
Cincinnati Bengals receive: Hogcrazy9934 – 500k – RB/DB

Solid trade for both teams I believe the Browns will receive a consistent running back with Fig. I am sure in all aspects that Fig is going to be extremely happy moving to the Browns and being able to play with NICK CHUBB.

Bengals: Hogcrazy who was moved up to the NFL level to make this trade. I have seen Hogcrazy play WR before and he was solid with a good cast of users around him. I have also seen him at QB which he struggled with last season. RB is going to be a new endeavor which should be fun to watch. We knew hog was going to be in the NFL league sooner rather than later. Now we must wait and see what he is capable of overall solid trade by both teams

Winner: Browns
Although Hogcrazy is a reliable player, Fig has been at RB for a long time and shown consistency. Where on the other side, this is a first on this Madden for that reason the winner of this trade goes to the Browns

 

Buffalo Bills receive: Ibprofram – 3 Million – RB/LB 

Green Bay Packers receive: Never Practices – 9.5 Million – RB/DL

 
Buffalo Bills

This is a decent pickup for the Bills, it’s not worth as much as they lost. Ibprofram is a solid guy and can produce to his value. A guy who is active in the league and capable of doing what needs to be done. Im not sure how you would feel leaving Aaron Jones to go to Devin Singletary or James Cook although Singletary is shifty and Cook is fast they are not as well rounded as what he is leaving in the Packers backfield.

Green Bay Packers

Green Bay getting Rivals aka Never practices is a good pickup for them and solid improvement. Not sure about what he is doing at DL and how he is producing but he is probably going to end up in a better situation there. Now that Von Miller is out for the Bills, DL on that team will not be as jarring. Moving to green bay will give him Arron Jones, AJ Dillon as a power back and Kenny Clark on the defensive line which is a solid group of user ability players to chose from.
 
Winner Packers
Although the Bills are gathering cap space, losing a veteran player and previous WR of the year in Never practices, it’s going to hurt although he is not playing WR. Rivals has been on Green Bay last season so I’m sure he’s not going to be too happy to be back again without his QBOTY counter part IR Brady, but we will see what he is capable of doing with Aaron jones and that offensive line.

QUARTERBACK PLAY IMPROVEMENT

Season 6 to Season 7 jump of QB play is extreme

With week one coming to a close and all the stats that have been entered. The quarterback play this season has been night and day compared to what last season was. After week one last season you could barely find one QB that had more touchdown passes than interceptions thrown, as of the time I wrote this article. The most interceptions in the league right now is 6 by Tpbraves, coupled with his 6 TDs. The players with better TD/INT ratios shown:

  • TXJAMESSMITHTX (LAC 3-0) 6 TDS, 0 INTS
  • King champ (LAC 2-1) 7 TDS, 2 INTS
  • Koolaids (TB 3-0) 8 TDS, 2 INTS
  • Ebokestop (KC 1-2) 9 TDS, 2 INTS

So at the bottom, the most thrown interceptions as of now is 6 with as many touchdowns and the top league is heavy with good TD/INT ratios. As compared to last season when you barely had any players in the entirety of the league have more touchdowns than interceptions. The massive improvement comes from in my opinion a more rounded understanding of what works and what does not including the rule changes to fit more of the cheesy players and shift away from a sim league. 

HIGH TIMES- OVER REACTION WEDNESDAY

Halfway through our initial week 1 of games, storylines begin to formulate, and expectations are now transforming into reality. Below we will tackle five different scenarios and ask YOU the audience, is this a clearcut overreaction?? Or is this a storyline that could eventually pick up steam and become factual? 

#1 “NO REAL SURPRISE HERE, THE BUCS OPEN THE SEASON AT 5-1, KOOLAIDZ IS ALREADY LEADING THE LEAGUE IN TD’S AND ABYSS WILL MOST CERTAINLY FOLLOW SUIT. WE’RE NOT EVEN THROUGH WEEK 1, BUT IS THIS TEAM ALREADY THE CLEARCUT SB FAVORITES??”

#2 “LUCKY AND THE GB PACKERS HAVE ABSOLUTELY JINXED THEIR CHANCES OF WINNING THIS YEAR BY BEING THE MOST OVERCONFIDENT TEAM IN THE LEAGUE AKA “RING SEASON”. AFTER SAID PHRASE WAS CREATED, 3-4 START, (TWO WINS BY JUST ONE POINT, TWO LOSES BY A COMBINED 63 POINTS), AR MIGHT MISS THE REST OF THE SEASON, LUCKY TRADES AWAY HIS FORMER GM IBPROFAM, AND ROOKIE QB CAUSE PUBLICALLY THROWS HIS LINE UNDER THE BUS AFTER A LOSS.”

#3 “EXTREMELY PREDICTABLE AND VERY ANNOYING TO PLAY AGAINST, THE BROWNS 3 HEADED RUNNING ATTACK OF BRADY, FEAR AND NORTH- WILL ABSOLUTELY BE TOP THREE IN THE LEAGUE FOR RUSHING AND PROBABLY BREAK ANY AND ALL VFL SINGLE-SEASON RUSHING RECORDS? 

#4 FORMER MASSIVELY BIDDED QB WARPATH IS BACK IN THE LEAGUE ONCE AGAIN AND HAS QUICKLY BEEN BROUGHT UP FROM THE AFL BY THE BILLS. IN 5 SEASONS HE PUT TOGETHER AN EYE-OPENING STAT LINE OF 57TDS TO 83 INTS. NOW HE HAS AN OP JOSH ALLEN AND ZERO PRESSURE OF BEING THE TEAMS MOST EXPENSIVE PLAYER, THEREFORE SEASON 7 WILL GO DOWN AS HIS BEST SEASON EVER IN THE VFL.

#5 ALREADY OFF TO A 2-5 START, THEY’VE BEEN BLOWN OUT, SHUT OUT AND ALREADY HAVE CHATTER OF PLAYER UNHAPPINESS STARTING TO SPEW INTO DISCORD CHAT. THE SEASON 7 EAGLES WILL GO DOWN AS THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL AND STATISTICALLY WORST TEAM TO EVER PLAY IN THE VFL.
