The Fantasy Football season.....

[RavennaAl]

Finally! What a hard few weeks it's been. Sorry to have taken so long, hopefully the rest of the games won't take nearly as long to play.

Week 8 was intense, as each team was playing for their playoff life. Here's the recaps.....


Third Reich 21 - Zombies 17

New Zealand continued it’s slide, losing 4 of their last 5 games, pushing them to the brink of playoff elimination. Wilhelm Klink threw for 273 yards and 2 touchdowns, and the Reich defense only gave up 2 runs over 14 yards to throttle the Zombie offense, as Munich won it’s second game of the year, 21-17.

Marcus Allen finally broke open on a 60 yard run, but the Reich defense stiffened, and the Zombies had to settle for an Adam Vinatieri field goal and a 3-0 lead. Munich struck back on a 9 play, 52 yard drive capped off by a Klink QB sneak from 1 yard out making the score 7-3 after the first quarter.

Jerome Bettis ran 52 yards for the only score of the second quarter and the score stood at 10-7 at the half. Tim Brown’s 19 yard TD catch from Bart Starr put the Zombies up, 17-7. Klink found an open Richard Meier in the end zone to trim the lead to 17-14 going into the final quarter.

Dieter Zimmerman caught Klink’s 2nd TD pass of the day on a drive that was highlighted by a 53 yard run from Fritz Mueller to make it 21-17, Munich. New Zealand drove the ball to the Third Reich 29, but a fierce pass rush from the Munich defense resulted in 3 incompletes in a row and a turnover on downs and Munich ran out the clock for only their second win of the season.

Mueller had 74 yards rushing, as did Marcus Allen of New Zealand, to lead their perspective teams. Willie Davis led the Zombie defense with 4 tackles and an interception, while Manfred Mann had 5 ½ tackles for the Reich.
