Championship Conquered: 'Vandals' vanquish 'Team Tadlock' for first title

12/23/2019

Vandals TE Mark Andrews
AMARILLO –– Picked to finish second by RateMyLeague.com, the Vandals were a contender all season. But they had to defeat fifth-seeded The Xtreme, the top-seeded Nightmares, and second-seeded Team Tadlock to claim their first championship.
Picture
Picture
2019 was Lutonsky's third in the OIL. He went 9-4 his first season before suffering through a 4-9 season in 2018. But he drafted well in 2019, made the right moves in-season, and got hot at the right time. His semifinal upset of the Nightmares was one for the ages, as the Nightmares' 2019 season ranked sixth in OIL history (out of over 300 individual seasons). Congratulations to Tonk. His jersey will be ordered soon.
Tadlock seemed poised to be the one celebrating his first championship. He went 10-3 in the regular season, and, after the Vandals upset the number-one Nightmares, Team Tadlock was the clear favorite going into the Patriot Bowl. Alas, it was not meant to be. It wasn't a disaster for Tadlock, as he  scored enough points to have won the AFC's Thunder Bowl. But he ran into a buzz saw in the PFC's Patriot Bowl, and can't be faulted for the Vandals' 194 points. Congratulations on a good season and best of luck next year, Tadlock.

Redemption: Buehre, Dirty Dogs, prove critics wrong, recapture PFC title

12/24/2018

CYRIL — Almost 111 days after the RateMyLeague.com crew ridiculed his drafting ability, Dirty Dogs manager Scott Buehre is the last man standing in the PFC. The Dogs defeated the upstart Xtreme 165.45-120.05 Monday night to claim their second championship in three seasons.
Picture
In hindsight, Buehre's draft was not that bad, aside from a horrible TE group and taking a defense too early. And he should get credit for drafting RB James Conner in the 15th round, keeping him away from the Le'Veon Bell owner. No,  where Buehre's team faltered wasn't the result of draft whiffs; it was injury, as a whopping seven Dirty Dogs ended up on IR (including starting QB Andy Dalton, acquired in trade after Jimmy Garoppolo's season-ending injury, who ended up on IR himself shortly thereafter).

​But what the RateMyLeague.com crew failed to account for is Buehre's in-season management. His 26 transactions were by no means the most in the league. But the effectiveness of those moves reiterated that what's important is making the right moves. Moments after clinching the championship, Buehre had a message for those that doubted him. 
Picture
When reached for comment Tuesday, the Andy Goldstein of RateMyLeague.com had this to say: 
Picture
The Dirty Dogs were carried by recent waiver-wire acquisitions QB Russell Wilson, RB Jaylen Samuels, TE C.J. Uzomah, and WR DaeSean Hamilton, who combined for 83.55 points. Samuels was filling in for season-long starting RB James Conner, who missed the entire playoff run due to injury. Most impressively, Buehre's optimal lineup was less than one point more than his Week 16 total, displaying Buehre's superior lineup management. 

The Dogs went into Monday Night Football leading 149.45-119.05, but Buehre was not counting his chickens just yet.

"The game was neck and neck until the Sunday night game when I got a little lead," he said. "I felt pretty good going into Monday’s game but the week seven 32 points by Denver’s defense was lurking in the back of my mind." 

But the Denver D/ST was nowhere to be found, and Buehre won his second championship in three tries as a result. 

Xtreme ​manager Jason Bellar wasn't bitter and each manager made sure to congratulate each other on great seasons.
Picture
The victory lifted the Dogs to a franchise-best 12-3 record in 2018 and a 39-19 record overall. Buehre now leads the all-time series with Bellar, 3-2. With two championships in three seasons, the ​Dogs will have to be considered serious contenders going into 2019. 
But Buehre wasn't the only manager proving RateMyLeague.com wrong this week. Xtreme manager Jason Bellar was roasted by the RML crew, having their draft ranked last in the PFC. And, whereas Buehre was forced to make two dozen moves to account for injuries, Bellar completed only eight transactions all season, with only two (TE Ian Thomas and WR Kenny Stills) post-draft acquisitions starting the Patriot Bowl. Yes, that indicates the Xtreme were extremely lucky when it comes to injuries, but it also shows that their draft picks were exceeding expectations. 

Bellar was incredibly consistent (and incredibly mediocre) through his first four seasons, going 7-6 in each regular season from 2015-2017. But the Xtreme went 9-4 in 2018 before winning two playoff games to reach the Patriot Bowl. Unfortunately, when it mattered most, Bellar was let down by his top-three WRs (who combined for 3.60 points) and his special teams, as his K and D/ST combined for nine points. Regardless, even if all of those players met their projections, the Xtreme weren't catching the red-hot Dirty Dogs.

The loss dropped Bellar to 11-5 on the season and 32-25 overall. The Xtreme are now 2-3 all-time against the ​Dirty Dogs.

The defending champion Redlegs start 2017 atop the AFC standings once again, while the NFC champion Dirty Hippies failed to break triple-digits in their 2017 debut. The PFC champion Dirty Dogs, however, managed to start their title defense with a victory. 

The injuries of David Johnson and Allen Robinson have reverberated across the league. Their owners already face adversity in the young season.

Only 12 teams remain in contention in the OIL playoffs after Nye, Roe, Cliburn, Jessen, Baldwin, and Cordes were knocked out in round one. Half of the semifinals field had a bye last week, so this is their first test since Rivalry Week. Good luck, guys. As always, game-by-game analysis after the jump.

PFC: Tadlock's Week 11 Preview

11/17/2016

By Team Tadlock Manager Derrick Tadlock
Picture
After last week’s action in the PFC, the Great Plains Drifters remain in first place despite a week 10 loss. The Boomtown Brawlers move up to number two in the standings dropping Team Tadlock and the SECFOR Sixers to third and fourth, respectively.

Game of the Week
#5 Xtreme vs. #3 Team Tadlock 

This is a matchup between two 6-4 teams. The Xtreme should be able to get the victory in this one with Team Tadlock missing their #1 receiver and a starting RB with bye weeks. The Xtreme in a close one.

PFC: Tadlock's Week Eight Preview

There was more shuffling atop the rankings of the PFC after week 7 action.  Team Tadlock moved back in to first place while the Great Plains Drifters dropped to third. The SECFOR Sixers moved to second after their victory. Injuries and byes could have an impact on some of the outcomes this week.

Game of the Week:
#5 The Xtreme vs. #2 SECFOR Sixers 

The Xtreme will have to have a pretty deep bench to pull off a victory this week with four starters having a bye week. The Sixers will be playing with a full team. I look for the Sixers to get the victory here.

PFC: Tadlock's Week Seven Preview

By Team Tadlock​ Manager Derrick Tadlock

There was another change atop the leader board after last week's games. Team Tadlock was only able to hold on to the top spot for a week after his the team was hit with multiple injuries and lost a close one to the SECFOR Sixers. After a win the Great Plains Drifters move back to the top spot while Tadlock slips to second and the Sixers remain in third. The Boomtown Brawlers continue to climb up the rankings and currently sit in fourth.

Game of the Week:
​#3 ​SECFOR Sixers vs. #1 Great Plains Drifters

This should prove to be a great game. Both teams are strong across the board. The Sixers may be hurt a bit with a bye at the TE spot this week. The Drifters look stronger than ever with a full lineup and the reemergence of Tom Brady. I think the Brady to Bennett combo will be a bit too much for the Sixers, so I’ll pick the drifters to win and remain in the number one spot another week.

PFC: Tadlock's Week Five Preview

With week 4 in the books there is only one team that’s still undefeated in the PFC. The Great Plains Drifters remain a perfect 3-0, while he is followed up by three teams that are 3-1. The middle of the rankings is made up of five 2-2 teams, and every team is in the win column with the bottom five teams coming in with 1-3 records. Week five will be headlined by a matchup between the first place Great Plains Drifters and the second place Team Tadlock. 

#2 Team Tadlock vs. #1 Great Plains Drifters

This matchup between the first and second place teams is shaping up to be a close one. The deciding factor in this one may be Team Tadlocks starting QB Jameis Winston. Winston has failed to put together two solid performances in a row. With Winston playing in Carolina, who may be looking to prove a few things, he may have a tough road ahead. With that I will pick the Drifters to remain in the number one spot and move to 5-0.

PFC: Cliburn's Week Four Preview

By OIL Commissioner Justin C Cliburn
Picture
After three weeks, the PFC is a story of haves and have-nots. Five teams have winning records while eight have lost more they've won. Leading the pack in wins are the Vandals and Drifters. Leading the pack in points are Team Tadlock and the Sixers. At this point the latter two look like the favorites to win whis conference. But, with 10 games to go, it's still anyone's game.

#5 FDC Chiefs vs. #2 Great Plains Drifters

This is your PFC game of the week. Pennington took over midway through last season and made it to the championship game. Gray's Drifters come into the matchup 3-0 after mumbling his way through the draft at the cabin between rounds of target practice. It may sound crazy, but I'm picking Gray to get to an astonishing 4-0.
