EDOTLOCCA's Corner: Week 9

Good evening (ladies and) gents! Well, I think the elephant in the room should be addressed. Our Lord High Commissioner has decided that the Tyrants are dead in the water, he cast them aside without a second thought for how this might affect the supply of the weekly EDOTLOCCA’s Corner. Why should I continue to feed his media culture when ‘the power got cut in the building’? Well, he should have thought of that before; your EDOTLOCCA, all the nonsense I spout and all Corners that I find myself associated with are on strike! Yeah!

…

On the other hand, my team does suck and I clearly have nothing to play for, maybe I’ll just focus on the article. Strike over, let’s get on with it.

Coaches Award

This Coaches Award feels a little bit strange to deliver, in fact I am not quite sure how it is even possible. This team pulled off the win, in tight circumstances, despite some truly horrible performances and enough bye weeks for the whole league, let alone a single team. It speaks volumes that, despite three (three!) players combining for a mere 0.5 points (0.5!), Coach Leach dragged the Flyers to, yet another, victory. Great roster depth and smart waiver play like Will Fuller and the Bengals D – who he picked up a week early ready for bye week coverage – show why he is sitting pretty atop the league.

Wooden Spoon

EDOTLOCCA’s Corner history incoming! The Wooden Spoon can only go to one person this week, Coach Barnes. This is the first time I have ever selected myself for an award (if you can call the Wooden Spoon that), and I didn’t want to do it, but after a poor performance, the resultant fork-ing and Andrew Luck confirming himself as the worst draft pick of 2017,  I was left with no choice. Fair is fair.

Bold Predictions

Here we go, we are back in business people! After reading through and article which has been largely me moaning about my own team, sorry for that, we can now all join arms and celebrate a correct Bold Prediction! 217 receiving yards from the RBs in the Gridiron Gang, Patistan fixture in Week 8, despite Le’Veon Bell of all people barely contributing. Also, I am counting this week a 1-4 seeing as Coach Sherwood sabotaged one of my predictions fresh out the gates, not cool bro. Right, Week 9.

The Southampton Narwhals vs. Cash4Gould: Jay Ajayi finally ends Coach Gardner’s misery with a big performance. Joining the high powered Eagles he rumbles for his first two TDs of the season.

Bonus Prediction: With Tom Brady on a bye week, Coach Nunn makes the obvious move and starts Jimmy Garoppolo.

The Dream Team vs. Patistan: With Dak Prescott carrying the load for the Cowboys and Drew Brees being Drew Brees, 800 passing yards are amassed in this one.

Forge Flyers vs. Tanky McTankface: Coach Merritt is left unsure of which way to cheer when Sacksonville return, taking down Dalton more 8 plus times.

Gridiron Gang vs. ADRZ: Classic Coach Stubbs Jr., starting two RBs that 50% of the league may not have even heard of at the start of the season. Less than 75 yards between them won’t be what he was aiming for however.

Bear Necessities vs. IKSAN: This could end up turning into a game of chicken after last week… but here is the prediction: Zeke outscores McFadden. Ball’s in your court Coach Sherwood, change your line up, I dare you.

Burdettinators vs. Tom’s Tyrants: Coach Burdett whiffed on QB roulette last week, but he can’t go wrong with the ‘on fire’ Watson against the ‘wet cloth’ Colts. Another week with 4 TDs.

Okay, that’s your lot people. Despite all those concerns about industrial action and what not, we made it, another week in the books. Good luck in the games everyone and can someone make sure they do something stupid this week so that I don’t have to give myself the Wooden Spoon again? Cheers. Ttfn.
