12 Observations: Week 3

1. themadoompaloompas: The biggest surprise this year, ‘oompaloopas have dominated their competition in a record setting way. Last year, this owner took on the brutal task of reorganizing the defunct Silly Nannies, and ended up in last place. Now, they hold what looks like the Fantasy MVP, Tom Brady, at their disposal. Oh, and some guy named Adrian Peterson… no big deal!

2. Carnegie PantyRaiders: Alright, I’ll say it… I may have misjudged this team in the preseason. Clearly they hold two of the most explosive RBs in the league. On top of that, Rex Grossman (need I repeat that?) REX GROSSMAN is supplying this team with impressive numbers. I’ll hold off on my predictions.

3. Core Protection: Their WRs are as dominate or even more dominate than I expected. Unlike like the tightly contested NFC, it is clear that Core Protection is the king of the SFC. So far, this team has avoided injuries, but remember: last year this team went 2-0 to start the season. After that… they lost 6 straight.

4. The DAWGS: You thought their RBs were dead?! With the help of Fred Jackson, this team dominated last week. The loss of Miles Austin will hurt, especially after he had 30+ points last week. If this team can keep up the consistent play (which plagued them last year) they’ll be tough to stop. This week’s matchup with rival Mud Eaters will prove whether this team is ready to compete.

5. Team Canuckistan: They may have (defiantly did) hit the jackpot with Rob Gronkowski, but their starting QB, Tony Romo got banged up last week. It’ll be interesting to see how they manage their injures. Luckily, they have a great matchup this week against a team they have only lost once to in 7 games.

6. The Lance Armstrongs: This quiet owner had many on edge. Their laid back approach had many questioning if they had the ability to compete in the SNFL. Defeating the runner up to the SFC Championship was a good way to disprove those assumptions. Not to mention, they may have hit the goldmine with Cam Newton, who’s thrown for over 400+ yards the last two games.

7. Q: After week 1, it seemed clear that this team was going to be the worst team in the league just like the preseason polls had predicted. That turned out not to be the case. No better way to show up the haters than beating last year’s SNFL Champion. Darren McFadden is turning out to be a true stud, and with QB Aaron Rodgers, they can put up some monster points.

8. The Ox: Someone wishes they had taken Ray Rice with the second overall pick rather than Jamaal Charles. This team is already at a cross road in their season, and it’s only week 3. Each move they make become more and more significant to their season (no pressure). Make on bad pick up and the season is over, however plenty of teams last year faced similar adversity and made the playoffs. This is where your skills are truly put to the test.

9. LasTortugas AmarillasHwangsaeg: Don’t over react!! Week 2 was unfortunate, but who could predict the pathetic numbers by DeSean Jackson and Wes Welker? With Charles down, McCluster could turn out to be a steal. This is going to be one of those teams that goes up and down all season, and with a matchup against the defending SNFL Champion coming up… there are going to be a few more downs.

10. Eleven'sElevenElevolutionaries: The preseasons number 2 ranked team is falling fast! Chris Johnson’s slow start will eventually end, but they have a serious TE issue. What happens Sunday night? Michael Vick goes down with a concussion! Luckily for Eleven, it doesn’t seem that bad, but we’ll see what happens. They better hope Vick is back for their game, because they’re got to play the dominate Core Protection who is lucking for vengeance for VJaxgate last year.

11. Mud Eaters: Well well well well well… 0-2, no Arian Foster, and now they’ve got to play against the only team they’ve never beat… 2010 seems so far away. After losing the PWC Bowl II, they’ve continued to lose (3 straight). Steve Smith is turning out to be better than expected. That will help since a lot of their sleepers aren’t living up to expectations. Let’s not forget, the Mud Eaters are completely healthy.

12. THE TACO KINGS: Either this team completely sucks, or the football gods absolutely hate Mexicans. THE TACO KINGS have been beat by at least 45+ points in their past two games. This team has the least amount of points in the SNFL, as well as the most amount of points scored on them. In fact, they almost have more PA them than the top scoring team, themadoompaloompas, has PF! GOOD NEWS: THE TACO KINGS play themadoompaloompas this week!!
