EDOTLOCCA's Corner: Week 10

Evening all! You’d think that having a week off would mean that this article would find its way to your Facebook notifications a little earlier, but instead it just meant I procrastinated even more, so we find ourselves posting just before the Thursday night game again. In other news, if it wasn’t for Forge Flyers turning the last few year of hate into results in the win column, the rest of the playoff spots are tight as! And I am excited! Let’s not waste time listening to me, we’ll get straight into the juicy stuff.

Coaches Award

Too easy. There’s been a lot of 90s and even an agonising 99.48 point week, but triple digits was only a matter of time. And making 100 points for the first time this year was not the only thing to celebrate this week, this coach put his faith squarely in the hands of his favourite players, who may have just elevated himself to hero status. Cutler was a great play, a great pickup in The Narwhals’ talisman’s bye week and utterly critical to their second win of the season. Oh, and side note, highest scoring team of the week. Congrats to Coach Nunn, well played.

Honourable mention: Great pickup by Coach Leach with Kenyan Drake (which is a great name for a tribute act for Canadian Drake, just saying, make it happen.) who played a pivotal role in the win this week. Hey, Dolphins making people win, who would have thought it?

Wooden Spoon

One coach fell into my cardinal sin, my wooden spoon magnet (wood magnet doesn’t really work, but hey), this week and left points capable of winning their matchup on the bench. Rob Kelley may not have been drafted as a starter, but he could have replaced three separate players in Tanky McTankface’s starting lineup and changed the result of that game. Unlucky Coach Merritt, but on the upside you may just keep the Tyrants out of the Toilet Bowl – or whatever it is called this year.

Bold Predictions

Well, what can I say, the Gods intervened. My most outlandish prediction of last week became an absolute gimme when Zeke’s suspension was lifted (again). But they all count, another correct prediction in the books! Whlst we’re on the subject, the boldness of Coach Sherwood in drafting Elliott should really be credited at some point during this series of EDOTLOCCA’s Corner. And it just was. Time for the predictions.

The Dream Team vs. Tanky McTankface: Coach Merritt starting Bortles is really tempting here, really really tempting. However, I am going to take the high road and go for 600 scrimmage yards by starting RBs.

Burdettinators vs. Cash4Gould: What is crazier, Ryan Fitzpatrick starting in the LOC in 2017 or Coach Gardner being in single digits in the power rankings?? Probably the latter, therefore Fitzpatrick will throw 4 TDs, none of which go to Brate.

Forge Flyers vs. Patistan: This is going to be the highest scorer this week and the highest scoring (non-QB) player is going to be Evan Engram, career highs in yards and TDs.

Gridiron Gang vs. IKSAN: Bryant and Nelson, the second rounders! Not time for celebration though, they are the lowest and second lowest skill position players in the matchup this week.

Bear Necessities vs. ADRZ: Fitzpatrick and McCown!? We live in crazy times! Well, surely only one of them can do well and I have already gone all in on the Amish Rifle, sooooo Wilson sends McCown back to school by tripling his score.

Tom’s Tyrants vs. The Southampton Narwhals: The Miami boys do it again and go to work. 45 points on Monday night make for a spectacular comeback win.

And that is another EDOTLOCCA’s Corner in the books. Hope you all enjoyed it and I hope you are all ready for another thrilling week of the LOC. I know I am! Well; ready, set, go! It’s Week 10!
