What a finish to the 2005 regular season, a the a playoff spot came down to the wire. The story was that Killer B's had to beats ECCGrounds to get in, because he was so far ahead in points, he did fall short of the the record for points in year though. The Flashes needed a Killer B's loss, and a win. Killer B's was up about 6 points going into the monday night game, in which the Killer B's had Deangelo Hall. Hall strips Joe Horn and returns it for 20 yards, giving Killer B's 4 points early on. Than comes a couple tackles and he is now around 2 points down and needs 4 more tackles. Brooks drops back and ohh he throws to DeAngelo Hall!!!, he starts running it back 10..5.. touchdown!! its over, no wait there is a flag. Wouldn't you know roughing the passer on DeMarrio Williams, its not over, wait a a minute Williams is on the Flashes. Could this be a plot by The Flashes to keep Killer B's out of the playoffs haha. So no win yet. A few more tackles come and Hall seems to be hurt, hes taken to the locker room, i guess it might be over with the Saints down by like 20 points, they aren't going to risk him going back in are they? Well Hall comes back and he needs on more tackle to win the game for the Killer B's to secur a playoff spot. 3rd & 4, around 3 minutes to play the Saints with the ball, Brooks drops back to pass, throws to his reciever on the right side, Hall is right behind him, ohh it sails over his dead, almost. It all comes down to this 4 & 4 with around 2 and a half minutes left. Brooks drops back, pass complete over the middle, there's Hall, tackle number 6!! its over, what drama to secure a playoff spot, i love it! Well with this happening Killer B's secures a playoff spot the 3rd spot because he had more points than T & A who he tied with at 8-6 gets the 4th seed. At the top of the standings is a familiar site. Rowe's Pigskin Pros for the fourth year in a row ends the season on top with a 10-4 record and takes on T & A in the semifinals of the playoffs. With a loss to Killer Bs in the final game ECCGrounds drops to 9-5 and takes on the team he just lost to Killer B's in a 2-3 mathup. Just falling short of the playofffs, the Flashes who one there final game, didn't get enough points the whole year to overcome Killer's B's offensive onslaught. Also falling short a game, because Employee Of The Month would have had more points than T & A in a tie. Employee Of The Month finished 2nd overall in points and didn't make the playoffs, which is a first for that, in the 3 previous years in this league, the top 4 teams in points have made it to the playoffs, not this year. Employee Of The Month did win the final weekly payout with 121.72 points which is the most scored this year by a team in a week. MVP of Week 14 the final week in our season was Rowe's Pigskin Pros Larry Johnson. He had 143 yards for 3 TDs, and also 3 catches for 28 yards giving him 28.05 Pts.

I just had to give DeAngelo Hall a piece of the Defensive MVP for Week 14 with what he did on monday night to help Killer B's get into the playoffs. The orginal MVP of Week 14 is Lofa Tatupa of the The Flashes with 3 tackles, a sack, and a INT good for 9.50 Pts. Hall is the co-Defensive MVP with 7 tackles, a Forced Fumbles, and a Fumble Recovery good for 7.50 Pts and good for a Killer B's playoff spot.

December 6 Update

One more Week to go, and its as even as ever at the top of the standings. The top 4 teams in the league lost in Week 13, and as a result there could be a three way tie for 1st place with points determining their slots in the playoffs. For the final playoffs spot, Killer B's has to win and they are in, but with a loss to ECCGrounds in Week 14 they will not make the playoffs, if The Flashes pull off a win over The Dragons. Speaking of Killer B's, its looks like their pursuit of the all time points record is going to fall short. The B's need 117.24 to break the all time record set by Rowe's Pigskin Pros last year. Take a look at the league leaders after Week 13 HERE, with one more week to go it looks like its neck and neck with LT, and Shaun Alexander for the league's MVP honors. All the roster updates are done, and i will have the final week's matchups later in the week. AJ's All-Stars took the weekly payout this week squeaking it out with 102.04 Pts. just getting past Employee Of The Month with 98.32. Employee Of The Month had alot of help with both MVP's for Week 13. Chris Chambers had a career game on the offensive side of the ball with 24.40 Pts. He had 15 catches for 238 yds and a TD, he also had a fumble lost for -1.

On the Defensive side of the ball for Employee Of The Month, Rhonde Barber took the MVP for Week 13 with 3 INTs, and 5 Tackles.

This is ECCGrounds second consecutive playoff appearance, and this is Rowe's 4th straight playoff appearance, all have been at number 1 seeds, amazingly. Both teams are in line to tie for the most wins in a season at 11 set by Rowe in '02, '04.

Rowe's Pigskin Pros, and ECCGrounds keep winning, and are now both 2 games up of T & A, and 3 games up with the rest of the pack, with four games to go, they have a pretty good of securing 1 and 2 in the playoffs, its just the question of who will get the number 1 seed. There are 2 5-5, and 4 4-6, so the maybe the 3rd, and defintely the 4th playoffs seed is still up for grabs. T & A had to have the most points for Week 10 with 107.06 to beat the second most points in the week with The Flashes 97.18. Shaun Alexander ads yet another MVP to his resume, with 27.20 Pts.

Even 3-6 Employee Of The Month is still in it with 2 games back with 5 games left. Killer B's had an impressive week scoring 112.10 wining the weekly payout yet again and going over 100 points for the 4th time this year, hes bound to break the record for points in a year. His 112.10 Pts. this week puts him at 10th for points in a week All-Time. He had lots of help from his number 1 pick LT. The MVP for Week 9 was LaDanian Tomlinson who had 107 rushing yards with 3 TDs, and 3 catches for 46 yards and another TD good for 33.15 Pts.
