10 Week Review: Lomé Dzidudu

MKNN September 3, 2016

Lomé Dzidudu (3-7) After a 5 game losing streak, a 2-1 record has some minor causes for optimism in West Africa. But this is a team that lost its leader and has never really recovered. Despite that, the offense is fine:…

10 Week Review: Beijing Red Stars

MKNN September 2, 2016

Beijing Red Stars (3-7) Arguably the worst team in the league, But one without really glaring draft needs, so that’s weird. The 2nd worst passing attack combines with the worst running game in the league to create only 323 yards per…

10 Week Review: Tokyo Swallows

MKNN September 2, 2016

Tokyo Swallows (9-1) One of the real surprises of the league: Tokyo always seemed on the brink of falling apart, but here they are, tied for first in their division. It’s unclear how they are doing it: the Swallows give up…

10 Week Review: Addis Ababa Emperors

MKNN September 1, 2016

Addis Ababa Emperors (9-1) With apologies to Tokyo, who have the same record, the best team in the league, led by the clear MVP leader, Philip Rivers. The offense is averaging over 7 yards a play, and while the running game…

10 Week Review: Sydney Great White

MKNN September 1, 2016

Sydney Great White (5-5) Ending Addis Ababa’s undefeated season brings Sydney to .500. More importantly, it showed glimpses of the offensive juggernaut that lurks in this squad. However, until the worst defense in the league, giving up an average of 433 yards…

10 Week Review: Dublin Damhas

MKNN August 31, 2016

Dublin Damhas (5-5) Going 3-1 over their last 4 games has brought Dublin to .500, where they have not been since the second week of the season. If Aaron Rodgers can maintain his current level of play, a playoff push is not…

10 Week Review: New York Royal Giants

MKNN August 31, 2016

New York Royal Giants (4-6) New York has clawed their way to .500 twice, but hasn’t been able to get beyond that point. Nobody has really claimed the QB position, although Eli Manning has had some great games. But it would be…

10 Week Review: Boston Bulldogs

MKNN August 30, 2016

Boston Bulldogs (5-5) An 0-2 start was not what was expected in Boston; the 5-3 record since then feels much more in line. However, Boston needs to turn it up to either catch London or fend off the charge from below…

10 Week Review: London Fog

MKNN August 30, 2016

London Fog (6-4) The challenge for London is whether they can become more than a slightly better than .500 side. Impressive victories over San Francisco and Boston would say yes, losses to Boston and Lomé would lean the other way. The…

10 Week Review: The Roman Empire

MKNN August 29, 2016

The Roman Empire (4-6) After an 0-3 and 1-6 start, Rome has finally found some traction, winning their last 3 games and looking hungrily towards .500. It would be tempting to tie the turnaround to the insertion of Luck as…
