Week 2 Power Rankings:

1. Hamilton Hornets (1-0, LW:1) - A strong defensive performance following their ring ceremony vs what should be a strong Anchorage team.
2. Rio de Janeiro Pirates (1-0, LW:2) - The Pirates had the best all-around showing of the week and it was impressive because they dominated what appeared to be the Ice Orca's stronger side of the ball.
3. Phoenix Rubber Ducks (1-0, LW:3) - The Ducks dominated all game and it got closer than it should have thanks to a successful onside kick. The Waterfowl Feud has a strong start.
4. Reykjavik Direwolves (1-0, LW:7) - It wasn't as close as the score suggests and they dominated on the offensive side of the ball. They stay ahead of the Predators because they looked more consistent.
5. Indianapolis Predators (1-0, LW:11) - So far the Predators are proving to be the Blobfishes' biggest threat in the division this season. A strong division win on the road. The game was over by halftime and some garbage points made it appear much closer than it actually was. By far the best showing of the week in my opinion, but they'll have to clean up their yards allowed through the air.
6. Little Rock Uni Royals (1-0, LW:9) - Josh Allen's passing attack in the clutch with the come from behind victory combined with a stifling run D is a sign of good things to come this season.
7. Greenland Polar Bears (1-0, LW:6) - It wasn't pretty but they stayed within striking distance and kept themselves from having the loss of the week. They avoided overtime thanks to a missed Scranton PAT earlier in the game. I'm not punishing the Polar Bears as much as I'm rewarding some teams below them that had impressive wins. I expect them to rise in the coming weeks.
8. Freiburg Venom (1-0, LW:12) - A strong start from Freiburg vs a strong opponent. Now that is how you make a statement!
9. Anchorage Amphibians (0-1, LW:5) - It was close for a while but their run game couldn't get anywhere. They'll have an early rematch in week 7 to get revenge.
10. Hanoi Viet Kongs (0-1, LW:4) - The Kongs almost escaped after forcing overtime but they fall in the only major upset of the week.
11. Egypt Starfalls (1-0, LW:16) - A win is a win even in a defensive slugfest. We'll see if they can get a bit more offense as the season progresses.
12. Butte Bots (0-1, LW:8) - The offense was strong but their defense was brutal. They made it close but unless they shore up that defense they will have trouble playing up to their potential.
13. Wattsville Waste Walruses (0-1, LW:14) - A very strong defensive showing but just couldn't get enough points to get the win.
14. New Zealand Blobfish (0-1, LW:10) - They got destroyed by turnovers and their defense couldn't stop the passing game. An elite run defense just didn't matter when the opposing offense gets bailed out on passing downs.
15. Lancaster Fighting Amish (1-0, LW:17) - It's always good to start the season with a win and the offense is looking nice.
16. Scranton Papermakers (0-1, LW:18) - They almost pulled off the upset but let it slip and couldn't get into OT because of a missed PAT. They rise a bit as other teams fall.
17. Cincinnati Buffleheads (0-1, LW:19) - The Buffleheads were much more competitive than expected and while style points don't count in the standings, they definitely help you climb out of the cellar of the power rankings.
18. Tokyo Samurai (0-1, LW:13) - It's only one game but they were bottom 5 in points scored and points allowed thanks to a giant collapse in the 4th quarter. It may just be bad luck but it's not a good look right now. They take a deep fall because other teams looked a bit better.
19. Lake Minnewanka Ice Orcas (0-1, LW:15) - This fall might be too harsh considering who they lost to but it wasn't pretty. Their run game is a bright spot on their offense.
20. Burlington Sock Puppets (0-1, LW:20) - They did well on offense but losing to one of the lower ranked teams is going to keep them down at the bottom for now.

Week 3 Power Rankings:

1. Hamilton Hornets (2-0, LW:1) - Hamilton comes out on top in a battle of top 3 teams and sweet yellow, orange & black endzones. It was tight for 3 quarters until the Hornets put the Ducks away with a pair of 4th quarter TDs, extending to a 24-point unanswered scoring streak before allowing a garbage time TD that kept it within single digits.
2. Rio de Janeiro Pirates (2-0, LW:2) - Another game that was close through 3 quarters until the Pirates got a couple TDs to go up 14. They allowed a late TD and had to sustain a drive to avoid OT and made the ballsy decision to kick a long FG instead of punting it to seal the game. The gamble worked out and they won by 10.
3. Reykjavik Direwolves (2-0, LW:4) - The Wolves may be lucky not to have taken the giant upset loss this week thanks to a missed Sock Puppet PAT that would have tied the game. Yes, they took a knee in FG position, but maybe Burlington plays more conservative had the game been tied in their own end. It felt much like Greenland's game last week. This week they head to Rio for a top 3 matchup and they'll need to bring their A game.
4. Greenland Polar Bears (2-0, LW:7) - They avoided the upset with a TD with 5 seconds remaining in the game. A great defensive performance and if it wasn't so close I might have bumped them ahead of the Direwolves, who jumped the Polar Bears last week after they themselves survived on a similar scenario as Greenland did last week.
5. Anchorage Amphibians (1-1, LW:9) - A great victory over a solid Little Rock team that made the score seem closer than it was on a garbage time TD. The Amphibians take the #5 slot because they are coming off a win unlike the next two teams who also lost to a top 2 team.
6. Indianapolis Predators (1-1, LW:5) - The Predators let it slip vs Rio in the 4th quarter and they couldn't get the defensive stop to get one more chance to force OT. They are ahead of the Ducks because their game was still on the line until the final drive vs a similar opponent and they had a much more impressive win in week 1.
7. Phoenix Rubber Ducks (1-1, LW:3) - The stats indicate that the game was much closer than the end of the game shows. The Ducks had high averages when they ran the ball and made completions but they just couldn't convert well on 3rd down and allowed a defensive TD while hardly having possession. They get Anchorage next week where both teams look to show that they are still among the elite.
8. Egypt Starfalls (2-0, LW:11) - A strong defensive performance followed by a strong offensive performance. The Starfalls are looking like they could be a real threat. Could they get to 6 wins by the halfway point of the season?
9. Butte Bots (1-1, LW:12) - An onside kick miracle gets them over Hanoi. Is #9 too high? Well we'll see this week when they play the team that probably thinks they deserve their spot, Little Rock.
10. Little Rock Uni Royals (1-1, LW:6) - Honestly, the only reason Little Rock is below Butte is because they are coming off a loss. They certainly think they are the much better team and they won't have to wait long to prove it as they get the early spotlight vs the Bots on TNF.
11. Freiburg Venom (1-1, LW:8) - We'll see soon enough if their win vs Hanoi is as impressive as it first seemed but they missed their chance to quiet the doubters with a loss to an Egypt team that was dealing with a similar situation.
12. New Zealand Blobfish (1-1, LW:14) - In what seems to by a theme this week, the Blobfish played a tight game and pulled away in the 4th. It probably would have been easy had they converted a few more 3rd downs.
13. Scranton Papermakers (1-1, LW:16) - Yup, it's definitely the theme this week. Scranton impressively pulled away in the 4th when it was tied at 17. Not a bad start to the season. Lots of promise.
14. Hanoi Viet Kongs (0-2, LW:10) - The Kongs seem too talented to be winless but yet they are. There is no way they can be higher than this right now but if there was ever a win that would prove they are still among the elite, it would be one vs Hamilton on the road this week.
15. Lancaster Fighting Amish (1-1, LW:15) - They tried to win another game with bend but don't break football but the defense collapsed in the 4th quarter and they just couldn't answer.
16. Cincinnati Buffleheads (1-1, LW:17) - The Buffleheads broke the pattern and actually pulled ahead in the 3rd quarter before having to play tight defense in the 4th quarter. A great defensive effort but they'll have to prove it vs a team with a pulse if they want to rise further.
17. Tokyo Samurai (0-2, LW:18) - On 4th and 2 with less than 2 minutes to play they could have sealed the game with a short first down but instead they kicked a 55-yard FG to go up 4. Their defense then just couldn't slow down the Polar Bears who scored with what could have been their last play. A much improved defensive performance which would have been impressive if not for that last drive. Their offense is still a massive issue though.
18. Burlington Sock Puppets (0-2, LW:20) - Dustin Hopkins is not a fan favourite after a missed FG and PAT that cost them the win vs a solid team. The run D was legendary and for that and giving some benefit of the doubt to the kicker, I need to give the Sock Puppets a boost.
19. Wattsville Waste Walruses (0-2, LW:13) - The defense was strong for the first 7 quarters of the season but then fell apart. Their offense is still nowhere to be found. Can they turn things around in Greenland?
20. Lake Minnewanka Ice Orcas (0-2, LW:19) - Anthony Richardson just might not be ready to start yet. The run game was once again pretty good but the passing game isn't there and the defense could be doing better. They sink to the bottom but there is still hope as orcas are no strangers to the depths.

I was so shaken by my 4th quarter that I forgot to evaluate the team

Lamar Jackson: 15/27 (55.56%, 84.80 Rating) for 156 yards, 1 touchdown, 0 interceptions.
Lamar Jackson: 5 carries for 26 yards (5.20 YPC, 8 LNG), 0 touchdowns, 1 fumble.

 

Lamar was less good than I've come to expect, but I'll take it

Ezekiel Elliott: 5 carries for -2 yards (-0.40 YPC, 6 LNG), 0 touchdowns.
Michael Burton: 0 carries for 0 yards (0.00 YPC, 0 LNG), 0 touchdowns.

 

Holy ******* hell this is bad. In the 4th they were 8 carries for 7 yards. But something gotta give here

Quote

 

Dalton Kincaid: 6 receptions for 53 yards (8.83 YPR, 12 LNG), 0 touchdowns, 1 drop.

 

Okay, the week 1 performance wasn't so bad. We cool now, Dalton

Singlehandedly won me this game

Same with Mims but I had to cut bait. We'll see how Parris Campbell does. If he doesn't do well I'm probably just gonna assign Cooks to run them back lol.

Also @TheKillerNacho let's have Breece and Bijan swap RB roles.
