Monday Morning Waffles Week 4 (2013)

And then there was one,  with Las Vegas' win over the Edmonton Chill (14-7 in a nail bitter)  The Cleveland Stallions remain the only team with a zero in the win column, we wish the Stallions the best of luck going forward.  With Las Vegas' win the Western conference is a heated race with 2nd and 5th place separated by one win a piece.  Cincinnati, St. Louis and Los Angeles are the only teams with winning records heading into Week 5.  This is going to be a tight knit season.  Let's recap Week 4.

BOS @ QCC:  You know I really thought the Maulers had this one after Luscious Sander had been playing lights out the entire first half and the fact Joseph Redfeather is channeling his inner Mark Sanchez but stranger things happen in this league.  A deep bomb to Bryson McGrew gave the Corsairs the win.  Tony Henderson's 198 all purpose yards probably helped the Corsairs cause anyways.

CIN @ LOU:  The road to the World Bowl begins for Blake Wilson and the Wolfpack, an absolute trashing of the once undefeated Sentinels 49-7.  Matt Diles had a career game recording 197 receiving yards and three touchdowns.  Wilson threw for 314 yards.  It was baffling to see the Wolfpack win so lopsided but if you're Cincy, you have to be concerned about Joe Sloan in road game situations.

LA @ CLE:  Los Angeles beat Cleveland 24-17. Wait that has to be a typo... It's not... oh, okay.  Yeah Los Angeles didn't look so stellar against Cleveland as Cleveland went on a route late.  Timbers threw for 254 yards in the loss, but Floyd Ahanotu had 134 rushing yards on his former team but in the end, LA prevails and Cleveland keeps the downtrodden streak.

MIN @ STL:  The St. Louis Hornets are the feel good story of WAFL 2013, after a bad/forgettable 2012 season, the Hornets are literally in control of their own destiny stringing an undefeated season at 3-0.  They beat the Spartans who have struggled without AJ Blaylock.  Bruce Johnson threw for 249 yards and Marcus Forte chipped in 96 yards on the ground in the win.

OSK @ PHI:   I wasn't expecting a Philly victory but I wasn't expecting a thrashing like 34-6.  The Iron just didn't seem the same without Inferno under center.  Mitchell Harrison did however throw for 180 yards, so that's something positive... but he was also sacked eight times.  Donte Houle's 140 yards on the ground carried the Shoguns to another win

EDM @ LVD:  Despite Herman Johnson's 157 yards on the ground, the Diablos prevailed 14-7 to win their first game this season and get owner Eric Walsh's mind off a possible 0-16 season.  It was a passionate performance from the Diablos defense which only gave up one touchdown and held Bubba Jones under 100 yards passing.  Will Nolan's heroic burst into the end zone has the city of Las Vegas headed to New Orleans with high spirits.

Things to ask heading into Week 5

- Are the Wolfpack geared for a title run?
- Can Boston get some freaking offense consistency?
- Is Los Angeles Overrated? (gasp)
- Are the Hornets legit title contenders?
- Are the Diablos going to turn the season around?

I'm Ace Whirls, it's only my opinion.
