Playoffs Round 1 Results

Fobsters (94) defeats Philadelphia Phreaks (85)
After a tearful testimonial to Donovan McNabb last weekend, it turned out that the former face of the franchise could have led the Phreaks to victory. Ping's QB of choice, Kyle Orton, put up a whopping goose egg behind three interceptions, and that negated DeSean Jackson's stellar 29 point game. Even with a strong contribution from Maurice Jones-Drew (18 pts), the Phreaks were torpedoed by the lower seeded Fobsters and ended their season of resurgence with three straight losses.

Jimmy's team surged to a victory behind Tom Brady (30 pts), Jason Witten (21 pts), and Mike Tolbert (13 pts). There was even a bit of extra juice on the bench, as Brian Westbrook could have added a bit of cushion to the win. With a strong upset, the Fobsters are going to need a bit more gas to topple the Fat Jubas, who scored a whopping 175 points while on bye. Would that have been a record?

Ante Up (92) defeats Buffy (56)
So remember last week when we predicted a huge scoring game? Well, let's just say the Metrodome caved in and it probably fell on both of these team's offenses. To be fair, Ante Up put up a decent number, and had some fine performances all around -- excepting Aaron Rodgers' two points and Kenny Britt's three. Derrick Mason came up huge with 22 points, and he added the extra muscle to allow Jae to knock out the higher seeded Buffy.

Poor Roger, who had such high hopes entering this season, and was given top billing as the team to beat heading into the post-season. His team was ultimately doomed by a defense that scored -7 points, and a big fat zero from Antonio Gates -- who was a game time decision and left in the lineup, sadly. Troubled by QB play all season, starter Carson Palmer disappointed with eight little piddly points, and despite mid-teen performances from the rest of the roster, Buffy slumped to a weak defeat. They just came out flat I guess, except for Deion Branch, who had 25 points from the bench. Even if Branch had substituted for Gates, Buffy would have gone down whiffing. Better luck next year?
