On Edge
Results: Patrick Mahomes helps Lady Cougars barely triumph over The Dominators Lady Cougars get to go home happy for the first time in four weeks. They just slipped by The Dominators, 87 to 86. Lady Cougars would have only beaten one other team this week, so Coach Laurie Leboeuf got pretty lucky with the schedule. The loss was The Dominators' 3rd in their last four games, bringing their record to 3 – 4. The win brings Lady Cougars to an identical 3 – 4. Lady Cougars were led by the one-man team of Patrick Mahomes, who was responsible for more than half of his team's points. Showtime's performance this week ended a four game streak of failing to hit his projections. He was back to making the unlikeliest of plays, most notably this improvised 46-yard TD. Meanwhile, Coach Dennis Helm will have a hard time pinning the blame for this loss on any particular player. The Dominators were brought down by six underperformers, the worst of whom was Bijan Robinson (zero points). Robinson fell farther short of his expected points than any other player this week. Despite not making an appearance on the injury report, he sat out most of Sunday's game with an illness ( much to the chagrin of some). Both coaches in this game struggled with lineup decisions. While Coach Leboeuf might have gotten the victory this week, it wasn't due to her efforts. She went with Jordan Mason over the higher ranked Gus Edwards. This decision shaved 20 points from Lady Cougars' score, making the game closer than it would have been. The bad decision is more of the same for Coach Leboeuf, whose gameday decisions have been some of the worst in the league this season. Coach Helm has had the most stable lineup in the league, but that consistency wasn't helpful this week. Perhaps scared off by Geno Smith's 10 point performance last week, Coach Helm left him on the bench in favor of Tua Tagovailoa, despite the experts' prediction that Smith should have played. This decision took a 10 point chunk out of The Dominators' final score, which cost them the game. His decisions this week also cost him his title as the best gameday coach in the league (Coach Brent Knudson wears the crown now). Predictions: Dominators by 1 The bye week removes Collins, Fairbarin and Hopkins from the Cougars while the Dominators have no missing starters. QBs: Mahomes VS Tua, Mahomes is playing the LA Chargers while Tua is playing the Eagles in Philly. RBs: Robinson & Kamara VS Edwards & Cook, all four backs didn't score last week. WRa: Waddle & ??? VS Adams & Samuel, both teams are hurtuing at this position. Can Deebo play htis week and who gets the start for the Cougars? |
