The Powder Puffs start off the season with a 9.09 win over George Crush. The Crush relied heavily on their WRs, but even with star Wes Welker and stud Calvin Johnson, Coach George could not overcome Powder Puffs' Ryan Fitzpatrick (a surprise stud this week) and four other players in double figures. Great coaching this week Lori!
The Nittany Mountaineers showed rookie Mason's Maulers who was boss this week with a 22.41 point win over the lowest scoring team of the week. Even with a negative performance from QB Ben Roethlisburger and a big ZERO from WR Austin Collie, Coaches L and J Risk were able to easily overcome the Maulers, who had only 2 players in double digits and no players scoring more than 12.18 points. It didn't help the rookie team that their keeper pick, the Pittsburgh DEF, earned them a whopping 1.40 points (and if anyone saw that game, they know why). Looks like there will be some rookie growing pains in the first few weeks. Great job Jim and Lori!
The Mt. Morris Mayhem had a disappointing loss to Blitzburgh this week. After trailing in the match up all weekend, Blitzburgh came racing back to win on the arm of Tom Brady, who had 511 yards and 4 TDs to his credit in week 1. Coach J. Tenney had to place her hopes in Knowshon Moreno to come back and beat Blitzburgh, but it wasn't meant to be. Looks like it's back to the cellar for the commish, a place she's been for a while now. Great job Buddy!
In another low scoring match, the Mt. Morris Mauraders came out with a 16.54 point victory over Fairmont Fury, largly with the help of Cedric Benson and Rob Gronkowski. Coach P. Tenney had 4 players in double digits, but also had some poor performances from traditionally decent players. Coach B. Taylor must be FURY-ous at his team because without the Green Bay defense (which accounted for over 40% of the team's total), it wouldn't have even been close. Good coaching job Patrick!
In the first spousal match up of the season, Coach A. Crawford's defense was the difference in her 11.01 win over the Silver Bullets. Ur Momma's Baltimore DEF scored 40.48 points to overcome 6 Bullets' players in double digits and strong performances from the Bullets' Matt Forte and the New England DEF. Let's hope the wives continue to triumph as the season progresses! Great job Angela!
In the closest game of the week, TheRiskers squeezed by rookie Better Masons with a 7.33 victory. Coach J. Risk has his QB and DEF to thank for the win. These two positions accounted for 60% of TheRiskers total team points. Coach A. Mason had a more evenly matched team, but got poor performance from her QB. Even with K Sebastian Janikowski's 63 yarder at the end of the last game of the week, the Better Masons just couldn't overcome TheRiskers' more seasoned coach. Great job John!

With week 1 under our belts, it will be interesting to see how coaches change their lineups for the remainder of the season. Writing a Tuesday Morning Quarterback recap will earn each coach 2 player moves (remember that you are limited to 16 player moves over the season). Please let the commissioner know if you are interested in writing a weekly recap. You can e-mail it to me and I will post it on the blog. I need someone to write Week 2's recap as I will be out of town for work and won't be able to do the recap.
Good luck in week 2!
