We must start this weeks Monday Morning Waffles with two things. One: Congrats to the NFL Champions, the Baltimore Ravens and coach John Harbaugh. I guess Joe Flacco was really elite after all. Two: We bid adieu to Sandy Campbell who despite his win over the Iron resigned from the WAFL. We will miss Mr. Campbell and wish him the best in life. And now on to this week's recap.
PHI @ STI: Philadelphia continues the downward spiral without Ivan Inferno. A healthy win for the Surge with a great performance out of Dmitri Kruschev who had 170 yards on the ground. Paul Young chalked up 199 passing yards in the victory. The Iron fall to 2-3 with a meeting with Las Vegas in New Orleans this Sunday.
STL @ EDM: I thought the Chill had this and they almost did but the Hornets squeaked out a 35-27 victory. Despite their struggles, Bruce Johnson led the charge and an interception by Jason DeLuca (Frank's cousin) led the comeback win for the Hornets. They are currently 4-0 and are starting to look like a team of destiny. Bruce Johnson threw for 249 yards in the victory.
DUB @ BOS: In the most baffling game of the week, the Dublin Celts won over the Boston Maulers 21-6. Jordan Smithers threw over 60 times in the loss. Bam Bam Thunderman did have 112 yards on the ground but not enough according to owner AJ Caswell who has called this season "comical". I could call it something else... disappointing.
CLE @ OSK: History did not repeat itself. In fact, Osaka made it quite clear last year was a fluke. A 48-14 thrashing of the winless Stallions. I knew it was gonna be bad but not this bad. Cleveland at 0-4 is the worst team in the league but they have heart and I'm sure they will win sooner or later. Donte Houle had 143 yards on the ground.
LOU @ MIN: Louisville did win but it was an ugly win. 30-27 victory thanks to a Clark Booth OT touchdown. Minnesota held their own but are struggling without AJ Blaylock. Duke Overstreet had 147 yards on 10 carries and a beautiful touchdown. The Wolfpack are legit title contenders.
DEL @ LA: Now I also thought the Destruction would pull off this upset and they almost did. Despite injuries to Floyd Ahanotu and Jed Jones (who I'm seriously concerned about) Phil Proctor aka Doc Proc had a field day going for 174 yards on the ground. If LA is going to win the World Bowl, it's going to be because of this run game.
As we head into Week 6, here's what we have to ask ourselves
- Are the St. Louis Hornets really a playoff squad?
- Is Edmonton going to win without Chris Noel?
- Will Stirling prevail without Campbell's guidance
- When is Cleveland gonna win a game?
- Is Jed Jones a dead man walking?
I'm Ace Whirls, it's only my opinion.
