JFL Week 7 Recap: House of Horrors Ville

Wake up, Dawson.

Wake up.

You were shaking all over the place, and grumbling about something.

It must have been a nightmare.

All you kept saying over and over was, "Noise. First place. No. It can't be."

Well, it is.

The World of Noise is louder than ever after moving to a JFL-best 5-2.

With the JFL's best offense, the Noise has won five straight games and sits atop the AFC North — and the AFC for that matter.

He and his brother — me, of course — own the top two spots in the conference.

And we are quite the duo.

I feel like we could take on about nine levels of desert and sea and darkness and dungeons and large mushroom worlds.

For the Noise, at the end of the final level stands Bowserville. He is the Villain.

He has a step on him right now, but a lot can change in the last six weeks.

Especially in the JFL this season.

Six teams enter Week 8 with 4-3 records.

That includes five of the six teams in the NFC. What's the record of the sixth team, you ask?

Well, it's 3-4 of course. One game separates the entire conference seven weeks into the season. That I can say we have never seen before.

The entire NFC East is sitting in a first-place tie — or last-place tie, depending on how you look at it. T-Money took a huge step back this week, falling to the Noise and only scoring 54 points. Boyer also fell back to 4-3, losing by the slimmest of margins 105.9-101.5. He led heading into the Sunday night game's Broncos-Colts game, but after Colby Fleener scored a touchdown, he found himself needing eight points to win with Hakeem Nicks going on Monday night.

But he scored just 3.2 allowing the Jammers to escape with the win.

That wasn't really much of a surprise.

There were a few nervous moments when Eli Manning heaved the ball downfield, but Nicks was never at the other end.

So for the most part, my lead was safe.

But Fear and Loathing? His lead was nearly three times as many and he had to have been worrying throughout the day. Adrian Peterson was still on the docket for the Organ Thieves, and against the Giants, he must have been thinking about a big comeback.

However, the Giants didn't fear new Vikings QB Josh Freeman and they loaded the box all night long, daring him to throw.

The result?

Peterson had just 6 points as Freeman threw the ball 53 times. Not ideal for a new QB, and certainly not ideal for the Thieves.

Houserville got a similar point total out of his star running back, but it was for all the wrong reasons. Doug Martin tore his labrum and he'll be sidelined for a while. Just another casualty for Ville. He's lost several players already and Martin just makes it worse.

I blame Percy Harvin. Perhaps a curse for drafting the injured wideout to stash him on the IR until his return. There's no timetable for him coming back, but he's practicing.

The Ville needs him more than ever — especially now, as he squirms in bed with the nightmares of Noisy Basterds running rampant in his head.

"One Noise. Two Noise. Three Noise. Four Noise..."
