Six days to Playoffs

Playoffs, we’re talking about Playoffs- in your best Jim Mora voice.

The final week of LAEFL football is approaching as the NFL season looms. It’s Playoff time.  The seeds have been set and there are some very intriguing match-ups in the mix;

#8- 49ers at #1- Seahawks,  #7- Bills at #2- Raiders, #6- Jets at #3- Eagles,  #5- Vikings at #4- Rams.

Each of these teams met in the regular season and the higher seed prevailed in each match.  The 49ers are vocally shouting revenge and I’m sure, though not publicly stated, each of the other lower seeds have revenge on their minds as well.

When the plastic begins cracking, the outcomes could be “different” or not.

LAEFL THANKS DAVE & BUSTER’S

Dave and Buster’s gracious staff had a “next man up” mentality which allowed us to complete our regular season at their establishment.

Their hospitality and welcoming nature makes us want to make them our LAEFL home venue. Details to be worked out.

Thank you Dave and Buster’s for being a gracious host and taking the LAEFL under your umbrella.

Regular Season: In the books

The 2019 LAEFL regular season came to an end Saturday. July 13. If this had been on a Friday it would have made a lot more sense.

Our meeting place was closed without notice. 3 of our coaches had to call out due to a variety of “what else can happen” reasons.  But there were games played Saturday in spite of all the other adventures we experienced.

49ers vs Vikings :  If he had not already made a statement, he would have made one Saturday. He is #40 Kleinsasser. From the opening kickoff, a 95 yd TD, to the last score, a 43 yard TD (his 4th), it was Kleinsasser’s day.  The 9ers had no answers. Although if the rest of the defense had taken #42 Lott’s example, it may have ended differently. But one man does not stop a train when he’s the only one on the tracks. Vikings take this 37-19.

Browns vs Bills:  As part of the “what else can happen” Saturday, the Browns were left trying to find their defense which got caught in Philly due to hurricane warnings. They were able to hitch a ride and after a slight delay showed up ready to play. And play they did. They gave the Bills all they could handle. #34 Thurman was held in check running but was able to break a kick return 81 yards which set his 9 yd TD for the first score of the game. While the Browns “D” showed up, their offense did not. Could have been the anxiety of not having the “D” there on time. The offense gave up a safety and missed almost all his passes. Anxiety…. I don’t know but the offense clearly let the defense down. Meanwile the Bills were patient and happy with a 10 point lead which played out the rest of the game, bringing back to Buffalo a 10-0 win.

Saturday the 13th or was it really Friday the 13th……

The Day Before Gameday

TWAS THE DAY BEFORE LAEFL GAMEDAY

AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW

EACH COACH IS LOOKING TO DEAL HIS OPPONENT A KNOCKOUT BLOW

 

THE SEAHAWKS AND RAMS ARE GEARED UP AND READY

WHILE THE VIKINGS AND BROWNS ARE FAR PAST THE STEADY

THE EAGLES AND RAIDERS ARE RARING TO GO

THE # 1 SEED IS THE GOAL FOR THESE FOES

 

THE BILLS AND EAGLES SHOULD BE A TOUGH ONE

IF THEY SURVIVE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE FUN

THE 9ERS AND VIKINGS MAY NOT MAKE IT THROUGH

UNLESS THEIR OFFLINE AS SOMETIMES WE DO

 

THE JETS ARE LOOKING TO BLOW PAST THEIR GUY

SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON HOME THEN THEY’LL FLY

THE BROWNS ARE EQUIPPED WITH NEW CONFIDENCE AND SQUAD

SETTING OUT TO PROVE HIS TEAM IS NO FRAUD

 

SO AS YOU CAN SEE THE LAEFL IS READY TO GO

GETTING PAST THIS WEEKEND AND ON TO THE SHOW

IT’S BEEN A GOOD SEASON FOR LOTS OF THE TEAMS

BUT FOR SOME ALL WE CAN DO IS LET OUT SOME SCREAMS

No undefeated teams

The LAEFL had its June 15 bash in Irvine where the last of the undefeated teams bit the dust. The Eagles held that distinction until then when they faced the one loss Rams who were stinging from their loss to the Raiders on last gameday. Here’s what so strange about that.

Gameday one- Raiders lost to Seahawks 420 bash- Seahawks lost to Eagles Gameday 4- Rams lost to Raiders        6/15 bash- Eagles lost to Rams

In other matches from 6/15 bash the “Smoke A Bowl” was the “high” mark of the day as Coach Shabby’s J-E-T-S took down Coach Tate’s 49ers 34 – 14. But it ended well as they celebrated by smoking a bowl.

In the final game of the day, the Raiders increased their win streak to 5 with a victory over the 49ers.

The standings are very close with 4 teams having only one loss heading into the final gameday, July 13.
