I. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Week 6 is in the books and things are starting to shape up a bit in the standings and so far we are doing a great job on game contacts
and getting the games in on time, so thanks to all! Please make sure you get those game contacts early in the week though as waiting
until Friday or later just makes things tougher on everyone involved.
Please remember that after each game at a minimum you must send me the game export right away and then by the end of the week a short
game summary and an unzipped boxscore please so everyone can easily look at the games and keep up with what is going on. Not much
else to talk about, so good luck in week 7, get those files and get the games set up asap please.
Injury Pickup Reminder
Guys, please remember to send me more than just one name. With the season moving along and injuries piling up, I get a lot more requests
(14 this week) and overlap is inevitable. Please try and give me at least 3 names for each guy you want to replace. Thanks!
Week in Review/Preview
This is probably the earliest we have every found every team with a win already, there will be no winless team this year as the Vikings
pull off a big upset over Tampa Bay to get on the scoreboard and everyone has at least one 1. On the other side of the coin, we are
down to just 2 undefeated teams as Philadelphia and Dallas appear to be the class of their conferences as they both go to 6-0 in
convincing fashion over division rivals.
In the AFC, 4 teams have put some distance on the pack as the NY Jets have a 2 game lead in the East, Pittsburgh and Indy have the same
in the Central and Dallas has a 3 game lead in the West and are threatening to run away with the division early. After that, the other
10 teams in the conference are all within 2 games of each other, so everyone is alive in the playoff race and has something to play for,
so hopefully well see some competitive games continuing right on through the trade deadline. The big games in the conference this week
are Indy vs Houston and NY Jets vs Buffalo, while the biggest game of the week is easily the Philadelphia Dallas matchup which will mean
well be down to just 1 undefeated team after only 7 weeks.
The NFC saw both Atlanta and Detroit get their first loss of the season as they run into tough Jaguars and Saints teams respectively,
looking to turn their season around and get back into the thick of the playoff race. The two teams do still own a 2 game lead in the
division, so the Jags will have some work to do to catch them. St. Louis has a 2 game lead in their division and holds the tiebreaker
already and its going to take some serious work by the Packers to stay in touch with the division lead. The Eagles hold a 3 game lead
in the NFC West but face a huge test from the Cowboys in the AFC and Tampa and New Orleans will be looking to make up some ground if
they falter.
Ron Dayne is the Offensive Player of the Week, carrying 31 times for 157 yards and a TD and making a big difference as Carolina gets their
first win of the season over the Titans.
Kawicka Mitchell is the Defensive Player of the Week as his 4 sacks and 4 tackles are the difference in holding Kitna and the Chargers
in the final minutes of a big AFC win for the Steelers.
II. News from Around the League
