Week 12 of the NFL season sees the beginning of the playoffs in the keeper league while only one regular season matchup remains in the two other leagues. Games in all leagues are going right down to the wire with positions still up for grabs. In the 'real thing' the Falcons and Texans are continuing on with their winning ways, the Packers suffered a heavy loss to the Giants, the Saints stumbled at home against the 49ers, the Colts have gone from last seasons cellar dwellers to this years likely playoff spot while the poor old Eagles can be summed up simply.... RIP Dream Team (August 2011 - August 2011). Join with me and Stowie for the reviews.<!--more-->

THE KEEPER LEAGUE (review by bgt2110)

#4 The Jug-O-Naughts (112) lead #5 Waito’s Warriors (107)

A very close matchup sees the Jugs head into week 2 with only a 5 point lead over the Warriors. This one can still go either way with both teams able to make adjustments to their starting lineups to hopefully proceed onto a matchup with Team Stowie in the semi finals. The Jugs had valuable contributions from Brady(30), the Patriots d/st(21), Andre Johnson(18) and Mat Ryan(15). Unfortunately, Austin(0) was injured early in the game and Fred Jackson(1) was disappointing. With a couple of bushes, namely Reggie and Michael itching to get a start the Jugs have ample support on their deep roster. For the Warriors it was Calvin Johnson(20), Doug Martin(18) and Alfred Morris(17) who all performed well while the Texans d/st(-2) had a rare off day. The Warriors can draw on either Trent Richardson(16) or Steve Jackson(13) this week to push the Jugs all the way in a much look forwarded too week 2. Good luck to both teams.

Winner of this matchup meets Team Stowie in the semi finals.

#3 Billy Bass(103) leads #6 Welcome back Mr Wallace(76)

This matchup is also going down to the wire, although Billy is leading with a healthy, but not out of reach, 27 points. Billy will head into week 2 knowing that Mr Wallace has a number of high scoring guys sitting on the bench that if things go Mr Wallace’s way at the selection table could easily see him overcome the early deficit. Billy has been well rewarded with his inspired drafting of the Bengals elite duo of Dalton(20) and Green(13) who are good for double digit scores most weeks. Bradshaw(17) had a great game while Rodgers(10) will likely bounce back this week with a better performance. Mr Wallace had Russell Wilson(19), CJ2K(10), Spiller(10) and Reggie Wayne(10) all have impressive but not outstanding games, while Jimmy Graham(3) and Carson Palmer(5) will surely score better this week. Green-Ellis(18) and Shorts(16) are warming the pine giving Mr Wallace some options to overcome Billy in the race home. Good luck to both teams.

Winner of this matchup meets Canton Bullldogs in the semi finals.
