Saddles back on top; Recliners remain in cruise control

Blayze Hanson's crew tops Gerbs to regain lead in ST division, Chris Zimoch's team easily handles the Invalids in Silent Division

Justin Jefferson's catch against the Bills was simply incredible.

What did we learn in Week 10 play in the JSFL? A lot, actually. The Recliners have won the Silent Division title. Yeah, there's almost half the season to go. I don't care. It's over, thanks to the Pillow Biters upset win over the Spread Beaters and the Recliners win over the Invalids.

We also got a glimpse of the resiliency of the Blazing Saddles, who overcame a lopsided defeat a week ago to hurdle back into the division lead with a decisive win over the Packers.

We saw the Rangers give the JSFL Today preview staff a big middle finger, as John Lambert pounded his brother Jeff's team after they were predicted to lose big.

And lastly, we saw the continued stupidity of the Tirades management, who took a sure victory over the Band Aids and converted it into a loss by benching their keeper running back and playing a (gasp!) Falcons player instead. Oh, and the WR they got in that mega trade last week? He's going to end up out for the season after scoring ZERO points for his new team. Wow, that is a lot to unpack, but we'll get to it eventually.

Here's a look back at Week 10...

Rangers 101, Packers 58: Justin Jefferson had a performance for the ages against the Bills (if you have not seen his amazing fourth-and-16 catch in the fourth quarter from Sunday, watch it above), scoring 25 points and single-handedly (see aforementioned catch) leading his team to victory. RB D'Onta Foreman added 19 points and WR Davonte Adams 18 for the Rangers (5-5), as they moved into a three-way tie for second in the Silent Division. Josh Allen, who was not even expected to play this week after an elbow injury, led the Packers with 20.

Recliners 94, Invalids 74: No surprise here. The Invalids were no match for the Silent Division juggernaut that is the Recliners. RB Saquon Barkley's 21 points led five Recliners who scored in double-digits. Tom Brady's 16 points in a Munich win over the Seachickens also helped. Vern Ahrendes' Invalids got 20 from Seachickens QB Geno Smith, 19 from free-agent pickup RB James Conner and 15 from his other RB, Devin Singletary, but those were the only players in double-digits.

Saddles 86, Gerbils 62: Just when you though the Saddles (6-4) were on their way to the barn, they buck their recent trends and rip a new one in the Gerbils (4-6). Blayze finally turned his QB reigns over to Tua Tagovailoa and benched inconsistent (and injury-affected) Justin Herbert. Tua came through with 24 points (his last three games: 28-24-24) and the Saddles running back battering rams Jonathan Taylor and Aaron Jones took umbrage at last week's slight in Vern's preview, each scoring at least 20. Blaze could have played the Hanson brothers (and the Jonas brothers) in the rest of his lineup and still won this battle. Christian McCaffrey led the Gerbils with 16.

Pillows 95, Beaters 48: CeeDee Lamb's 27 points led the way as Matt Huey's Pillow Biters (5-5) smash-mouthed the Spread Beaters (5-5), creating a three-way tie for second in the Silent Division. Free-agent pickup TE Cole Kmet added 19. QB Jalen Hurts scored 21 but was the only player to score in double-figures for the Beaters.

Band Aids 80, Tirades 78: Bob Garcia's team also took umbrage with Vern's preview, scoring the upset victory over the clueless ownership that is running the Tirades (5-5). But back to that stupidity in a minute. First, lets commend the Band Aids (3-7) where commendation is due. Bob Garcia's move of the year was picking up free-agent QB Justin Fields on Nov. 8. Fields is the sole reason the Band Aids won this one, scoring 38 (and he had 41 last week) and snapping a five-game Band Aids losing streak in the process. This was supposed to be a blowout Tirades win, but owner/chief moron Ron Hender for some idiotic reason decided to stop using ESPN's automated lineup selection and benched RB Dalvin Cook, who was going up against Buffalo's vaunted defense. Instead, he started Falcons RB Corarelle Patterson, one week off his return from IR and coming off a 16-point effort against a defense much stronger than the Panthers supposed "sieve" of a D-line. Oh, and Cook? He scored 19. And Patterson? One. Uno. Slightly better than zero, which is what the guy Hender got in that blockbuster trade with the Invalids last week managed to score. WR Cooper Fucking Kupp, the headliner in that deal, scored exactly zero points (thanks to the dipshit Rams backup QB John Wolford) and to make matters worse, was injured in the third quarter (thanks again, dipshit Rams backup QB John Wolford, whose pass to Kupp was so poorly overthrown he was injured trying to make an impossible catch). Kupp went on the IR today (minimum out four games) and is likely done for the season as the defending Super Bowl champion Rams likely have no hope of making the playoffs at this point. So, let's recap: Dumb as hell lineup move, and a trade that might go down as the dumbest ever. Except that TE Travis Kelce, also acquired in that trade, did score 14. So there's that.
