2024 Week 9


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England travels to Indianapolis for a battle of the sub-par teams. This one is really painful to watch but the Patriots get the win, with a mighty score of 6-3. The Patriots only manage to get 7 first downs the whole game. Obviously Ralph is limited, recording 19 carries for 63 yards. The Patriots offensive line has been riddled with injuries and they are feeling the consequences.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers Green Bay pummels Seattle this week, 34-7, looking a lot more like a Super Bowl winning team. Clyde is disappointed as he again barely makes an appearance, seeing a few downs with no stats.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants face Tampa Bay at home this week, and it doesn't go well, as they lose 38-23, with their defense really caving in in the second half. Brock records 5 tackles and two assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo faces Jacksonville at home and notches a 27-17 win. Bills RB Kendall Morris gets it done on the ground and QB Rose adds a touchdown.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas gets a nice home win, 27-14 over the Falcons. Radke had a tackle.




2024 Week 10


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England beats Jacksonville at home, 20-14. Ralph rumbles 8 yards for the winning score in overtime, and has 76 yards on 25 carries overall, with an impressive 8 receptions for 78 yards.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers Green Bay tops Minnesota 24-21 in a nailbiter, needing a last-minute drive from QB Al-Rudaini to win it. Barrett as usual, has no stats.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants give this one away to Atlanta, 24-16, giving up two late scores to let it slip away. Brock leads the team this week with 9 tackles.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo hosts the Jets, and gets a 36-24 win to stay sharp at 8-1. ILB Pete Walters steps up in this one and has a dominant defensive performance, including an interception run back for a score.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas wins 24-10 over the Eagles, they have really been looking sharp in their last few games. Radke had 2 tackles and an assist in the game.




2024 Week 11


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots Ralph was hampered by a stingy Buffalo defense (see below) and only managed 58 yards on 21 carries. He had two long catches of 47 yards and 28 yards however.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers Green Bay lost on the road at Chicago, 31-17. 4 interceptions from QB Reuben Al-Rudaini were a main reason why. No stats for Barrett, of course.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York faced Washington, coming off their first loss this season last week, and handed them another loss in a real smashmouth game, 12-10. Brock was a big part of that with a huge game, 9 tackles and 4 assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo faced New England this week in a battle of our teams, and came home 17-10 winners. Again the offense was not great, and another defensive player stood up, this time SLB Alex Winter, who with 12 tackles and 2 sacks, took home Defensive Player of the Week.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas had a bye this week.

[Peregrine]

2024 Week 12


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England goes out to San Francisco to face a 49ers team who is playing well and looking for a playoff spot. The Pats go home with a 27-17 loss, though Ralph does make it into the endzone once, ending up with 14 carries for 71 yards and the TD.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers Green Bay handled the Houston Texans at home rather easily, with a 23-9 victory. No stats for Barrett, I'm not even expecting them anymore!

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York faces the red-hot Ravens this week and gets completely shut down, 27-10. Brock only managed 2 tackles and an assist.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo had another fourth-quarter comeback as they eked out a 27-24 win over the Rams. Floyd Rose looked sharp as he threw for 274 yards and two scores.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys When you're facing a 3-7 team at home, as Dallas was with Pittsburgh this week, getting crushed 28-0 is not what you have in mind. This loss really has Dallas reeling as they only managed 160 yards of total offense. Radke had 4 tackles, I think his best game of the year.




2024 Week 13


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England is struggling through a slew of injuries, and continues their downward spiral with a 26-20 loss to Pittsburgh. (Just a note, the Steelers' kicker is named Danny Goodstriker, I just think that's cool.) Sawyer had 81 yards on 28 carries and caught a 4 yard pass.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers The Packers get manhandled 34-8 by the Redskins, who are anxious to break their three loss streak. Amazingly, Clyde actually records a tackle in this game, his first all year. Break out the champagne!

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York beats Arizona on the road, 31-23. They are now 7-5 and looking for a playoff spot. Brock leads the team with his best game ever, 10 tackles, 4 assists, and a sack. He's starting to make some buzz about a Defensive Rookie of the Year nomination.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills The Ravens travel to Buffalo in a battle of playoff-bound teams, these teams are 10-1 and 9-2 coming into this game. The Bills go to 11-1 with a 31-26 win, on the arm of Floyd Rose with 275 yards and 4 TDs. They look just as good as they did last year, and people are already talking about them for the Super Bowl.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas gets a 24-21 road win over Chicago. They already look much improved over last week. Radke scores a tackle.

[Peregrine]

2024 Week 14


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Pats hosted Arizona this weekend, and looked to have the game wrapped up before a fourth-quarter collapse let the Cards put it in overtime and end up with a 30-27 win. Ralph had 92 yards on 25 carries, and 8 receptions for 45 more yards, including a 1 yard touchdown.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers The Packers dropped a 24-20 game to 3-9 Indianapolis, and are out of the playoff hunt at 6-7. Definitely not the team that won the Super Bowl last year. No stats for Barrett.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York hosts one-win Cleveland, and puts them away 30-24, though it takes overtime. Brock again led the team with 7 tackles and 3 assists, he was all over the field in this game.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo unexpectedly dropped a home game to a weak Seattle team this week, 31-20. Rose had a decent game but the run was stifled by the Seahawks.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas travelled to Cincinnati to face the 8-4 Bengals, they needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, and got one, 30-27 in overtime. Dallas QB Glenn Cooper threw for 424 yards and 3 touchdowns and just would not be denied this week. Radke had a tackle and an assist in the game.



2024 Week 15

Playoff Update - Going into Week 15, the Bills have won their division already and are competing with Oakland for home field advantage. The Giants are 8-5 and looking for a wild card spot, and will be fighting to the death against the Cowboys who are also 8-5. The Patriots are out of the playoff hunt, and the Packers will need to win out and get lucky to get a spot.

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots travel to Miami to play the luckless Dolphins, and win 17-16 on a late field goal. Sawyer got completely stuffed, and only managed 38 yards on 17 carries. He also caught 4 passes for 24 yards.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers Green Bay evens up at 7-7 with a 30-13 win at Detroit. No stats for Barrett.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants host the Eagles, who want to play spoiler for their playoff hopes. The Giants end up pulling out a tight 16-13 game with a lot of field goals. Brock had 7 tackles and 4 assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo looks to be having a tailspin just at the wrong time, as they have a terrible showing against the Jets in a 35-13 loss. Jets QB Les Coles picks them apart for 300+ yards and 4 touchdowns.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas travelled to Washington to play the Redskins, a game that was billed as a battle for playoff position. It turned out to be a rout, as the Skins rolled over the Boys 52-21. Washington had 308 rushing yards alone and Dallas couldn't stop them. Radke recorded 3 tackles.




2024 Week 16


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England travels to St. Louis but can't keep it together and lose 21-18. Sawyer gets 73 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown, and also a 5 yard reception.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers Green Bay stays alive as they beat Jacksonville on the road. 23-20. The team seems to be coming together at the end of the season. Barrett had his best game of the season, with 1 tackle and half a sack!

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants face a tough Bengals team on the road and get outgunned 34-21. Brock had another excellent game with 6 tackles, 4 assists, half a sack, and a long interception return.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo manages to steer out of their recent skid with a 17-14 win over San Francisco, which locks up home field throughout the playoffs. Rose was sharp and effective in leading his team to the win.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas needed a win this week against Cleveland to stay alive in the playoff hunt, but they were upset by a terrible Browns team, 17-14. Radke had a tackle and an assist.

[Peregrine]

2024 Week 17


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England travelled to face Buffalo in what was basically a meaningless game for both teams. New England pulled it out though, 27-21, as Sawyer finally had the kind of game people had expected all year, busting out for 163 yards on 26 carries, and adding 13 yards on 3 receptions, including a touchdown.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers Green Bay faces a playoff-bound Bears team and can't hold them off, losing 20-13 and losing a potential playoff spot. No stats for Barrett.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York faced the powerhouse Redskins at home this week, wanting a win to assure themselves a playoff berth. Redskins QB Kelvin Bellando torched them on the way to a 38-24 Skins victory. Brock had 5 tackles and 6 assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills The Bills were resting some critical players in their final game which had no impact on their postseason. RB Kendall Morris did what he could but they still lost 27-21 to the Pats.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas faced the division spoiler Eagles, but put them down 37-19 behind a great game by QB Glenn Cooper. Radke had 3 tackles on the afternoon.




2024 Playoffs

Buffalo(12-4) and New York (9-7) are our two playoff teams.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants

In the wild card round, the Giants are matched up against the 10-6 Chicago Bears in Chicago, the Bears are favored by 5 going in. The Bears are up 16-14 at the half, but the Giants rally in the second half and pull out the 26-23 win! Brock has a great game with 6 tackles, 3 assists, a sack, and an interception.


Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills

The Bills don't play in the first round of the playoffs.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants

In the next round they are matched against Washington, a team that beat them rather easily just a few weeks ago. But that's all forgotten, this is the playoffs! Washington at home is favored by 13. It's 24-3 Redskins at the half, the Giants struggle to even the score but just can't come back from that kind of deficit, and they lose 27-20. Brock ends up with 7 tackles, 5 assists, and half a sack for the game.


Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills

The Bills will play the Houston Texans at home, they are favored by 6 but it will be a tough matchup. Once the game starts, it becomes the Floyd Rose show, as he lights the Texans up for 251 yards and 3 touchdowns. At least Eric gets to experience the excitement of playoff football from the sidelines.


Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills

Buffalo will host Cincinnati in the AFC championship, a game they lost last year. This is a very even matchup, the Bills are favored by 1 but the line has been shifting quite a bit. The Bengals' QB is Tim Murphy, a legend who is near career records in most passing stats, and is a sure Hall of Famer. He already has three Super Bowl rings so there's no chance he'll buckle under this pressure.

For all the pre-game hype, this one turns into a laugher very quickly, as the Bills just steamroll the Bengals in a barrage of first half points. It ends up being 44-7, and the Bills are going to the Super Bowl to face the other consensus best team, the Washington Redskins.



Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills

This is a matchup a lot of teams were predicting from the beginning of the year. These are two top teams at the peak of their skill, and they go into the game with Washington favored by 5.

The Bills strike first, and are up 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, with a Rose touchdown throw and a Kendall Morris run. Washington gets on the board but two field goals make it 20-7 at the half. The Bills are playing tough defense and just shutting the Skins down.

In the second half, the Skins get a field goal, before Floyd Rose strikes with another touchdown pass. The Redskins get another score near the end but the final score is Buffalo 27, Washington 17. Game over, the Bills are Super Bowl champions!

Floyd Rose gets named the Super Bowl MVP, with Eric looking on from the sidelines.


2024 End Season Wrap-up


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots

Not surprisingly, Ralph is named Offensive Rookie of the Year! His final stats for the season were 317 carries for 1192 yards and 8 touchdowns on the ground, and 42 catches for 486 yards and 4 touchdowns. Ralph finished 8th in the league in rushing and given the offensive line problems New England had, he's served notice that with a better line he could be a true monster. New England finished the year 7-9.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Green Bay Packers

Clyde barely got to play this season, and coming off a rookie year where he started almost every game, this has been very frustrating for him. He is hoping for a trade to a team where he can get more playing time. This year he played in 13 games but only ended up with 2 tackles and half a sack. Green Bay finished the year 8-8.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants

Roosevelt had a great rookie year for the Giants, and was almost named Defensive Rookie of the Year, but was nudged out by a few votes by a player who had a slightly better one. Brock led the Giants in tackles with 94, adding 43 assists, 3.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, 4 hurries, and 8 passes defensed. Can he build on this impressive season next year? The Giants finished the regular season 9-7, and won a wildcard game.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills

Eric of course didn't start, instead learning his trade from a master, veteran QB Floyd Rose, who was unflappable this year and guided his team to a Super Bowl victory. What will happen next year is unclear. The Bills finished the regular season 12-4 and won the Super Bowl.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys

Mercury played backup DT all year, and didn't get a lot of playing time. He ended up with 30 tackles, 5 assists, half a sack, a blocked pass, and 10 hurries. He looks to be a pass rusher, but it remains to be seen how he will develop. The Cowboys finished the year 9-7 but did not make the playoffs.

2025 Season Start

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots

It's clear that the Patriots' ownership wants to give Ralph a chance to succeed. In the offseason they sign an excellent center, and their first draft pick is spent on a potentially great tackle. Ralph goes through training camp and is anxious to play. After camp, our scout grades him as current 62, future 66.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions

Clyde Barrett is released by the Packers in the offseason. He signs a 2 year, $4.4 million contract with the Lions in free agency. From the looks of it, this will lock him down for a starting spot, as he is clearly the second best DE they have. After camp he is rated (by an improved scout) as current 51, future 57. His skills looks to be primarily pass rushing.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants

Brock is starting to look like a dominant linebacker. Our scout rates him as current 70, future 77 and he is leaps and bounds better than anyone else the Giants have at linebacker.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills

During the offseason, the Bills sign Floyd Rose to a renegotiated contract giving him a monster signing bonus and another year with them. Clearly they seem to be looking in his direction again this year. Eric is rated current 45, future 67 after camp, and definitely looks like he has plenty of talent, but will he have the chance to use it? The same scout rates Floyd Rose 61/61, by the way.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys

Radke is hoping to be given more playing time this year, but it seems that he has regressed in his abilities. Our improved scout rates him as current 34, future 38. In short, it doesn't look like Radke has a lot of potential as an NFL player, though he may kick around for a while as a backup.



A note about the dynasty, if you guys want me to change up the format or provide more info about what's going on in the NFL, let me know. I prefer a light format like I've been using, though I try to put in updates about key players on the teams our guys are on.

[Peregrine]

Week 1

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England hosts division foe Miami to kick off their season, and gets a 27-23 win on a late 19 yard Sawyer TD run. Ralph had 80 yards on 14 carries and the score, and 3 catches for 39 yards, as Pats QB Marcus Raymond has a great game.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Clyde gets to make his first start for the Lions at home against the Packers, though he doesn't make much of an impact with just one tackle and one hurry. The Lions win this one going away, 28-18, with QB Lamar Aufedenkampe just ripping the Packers defense.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants In the offseason, the Giants signed veteran QB Tim Murphy, now in his 15th season but still going strong. Last year he led the Bengals to the AFC championship game, and he starts off strong this year, securing a 31-30 win over the Eagles with 301 yards passing and 4 touchdowns. Brock kicked off the season in his usual form, 6 tackles, 5 assists, half a sack and an interception.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo starts out with a 16-14 win over the Jets, with Floyd Rose at the helm and Eric on the bench. It looks like he will be the backup again this year, though he did see a good bit of preseason playing time and looked pretty sharp.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas faces division powerhouse Washington to start off the year, and Skins star QB Kelvin Bellando guides his team to a 26-17 win, as they dominate the second half. Radke had a tackle in the game.



Week 2

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots face off against the Saints this week at home, and drop a close one, 17-16. Ralph has 75 yards on 24 carries and leads the team in receiving with 6 catches for 51 yards.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit goes to 2-0 with a 24-17 win over Pittsburgh. Clyde had two tackles and a sack before going out with a sprained ankle, he's probable for next week.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York takes on Kansas City on the road, and comes home happy with a 17-13 win. The 3 year, $78 million contract they signed QB Tim Murphy with is paying off so far as he has another great game. Brock has just 4 tackles in this one.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo hosts Carolina at home this week, and the Bills take it 31-20 behind a passing clinic put on by Floyd Rose. The Bills have last year's 1st team Pro Bowl WR Cap Rogers, and their SE Broderick Prather had a nice game this week with 140 yards receiving.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas gets an ugly win over the Chargers, 14-9. Neither team could move the ball effectively in this one. Radke had two assists.



Week 3

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots played host to the Titans and despite Pats QB Marcus Raymond throwing three touchdowns, it wasn't enough as they fell 30-24. Ralph had 18 carries for 85 yards and 3 catches for 35 more.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit travelled to New Orleans, where the Saints have had an excellent start to the season. The Saints send them packing, 21-7, though Clyde had 2 tackles and 2 assists in the match.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants faced the 49ers on the road and looked terrible as the Niner defense shut them down completely. The final score was 27-3. Brock led the team with 8 tackles and 2 assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo hosted the Houston Texans and it was a back-and-forth game, the Bills needed a field goal in overtime to win it, 20-17.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys host the winless Panthers, and give them their third loss, 16-3. Dallas moved the ball well but had trouble putting it away in this match. Radke had no stats.

[Peregrine]

Week 4

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots Pittsburgh came to town, in a game the Pats really wanted to win to even their record. Sawyer ran all over them to insure the win, 20-14. His totals were 28 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown, and he added 3 catches for 24 yards. Ralph is leading the NFL in rushing after 4 games!


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit faced Dallas this week and got a hard-fought 17-9 win in a tough defensive struggle. Barrett had a great game with 4 tackles, an assist and a sack.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants had a bye this week.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Undefeated Buffalo hosted winless Cleveland and sent them home with a 27-17 loss. Floyd Rose looked very sharp with a 22-27, 210 yard performance. Eric must be getting just a bit frustrated at watching him continue to do so well.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Radke had a tackle in the Cowboys loss to Detroit (see above.)




Week 5

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England faced a tough Baltimore team on the road and couldn't finish it off, losing a late lead and ending up with a 24-22 loss. Sawyer's runs were limited as QB Marcus Raymond threw a lot, he ended up with 10 carries for 40 yards and 3 catches for 22 yards, including a short touchdown.90

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit dominated the Eagles this week in a game that wasn't as close as the score appeared, 28-18. Lions QB Lamar Aufedenkampe threw four touchdowns and it was all over. Barrett had a tackle and credit for half a sack.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants dropped one to the Cowboys this week (see below.) QB Tim Murphy left the game after a brutal sack, and will miss several weeks it appears. The Giants are down to backup Arnie Hailey, basically an unknown who had never played an NFL game before this week. Brock was limited to just 4 tackles and 2 assists this week.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo travelled to Miami to face the woeful Dolphins, and as it turned out, had quite a fight on their hands. Fins QB Lenny Stone is one of the top in the league and this was quite a battle between him and Rose. In the end, Buffalo stayed unbeaten with a 29-24 win.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas faced the Giants in a divisional battle, and was very happy to get a 33-28 road win. The Cowboys defense knocked legendary QB Tim Murphy out of the game and even though backup Arnie Hailey threw two scores, it wasn't enough. Radke had a tackle.




Week 6

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots faced the Jets at home, and had a disappointing game that ended in a 27-24 loss. Ralph had 16 carries for 77 yards, but most of that came on his 39 yard touchdown run. He also had a 12 yard reception.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit hosted the Giants and won, 20-16. Barrett had 3 tackles and 3 assists in the game.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants Brock was limited to 5 tackles in the Giants loss to Detroit this week.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo loses their first game of the season on the road at Pittsburgh, 21-15. Floyd Rose had a good game but wasn't able to close the door on the Steelers.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas took care of business against Chicago, 31-24. Dallas QB Daniel Brown had a great game. Radke did not record any stats.

[Peregrine]

Week 7

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Pats host the Bengals this week and try to end their early season skid, but are manhandled 34-20 instead. Ralph had 22 carries for 84 yards and found the end zone once on a one yard run.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions The Lions travelled to Chicago to face the Bears this week, and converted a last second field goal for a 20-18 win to take them to 6-1 on the year. All-Pro QB Lamar Aufedenkampe did it all, throwing for 409 yards. Clyde had a huge game this week, with 7 tackles, an assist, and 2.5 sacks, despite his minor knee tendonitis.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants host the Packers in a battle of mediocre teams, and it's an all field goal affair, with the final score 12-9 Giants. Brock recorded 3 tackles and an assist in an unmemorable game.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo travels to Baltimore this week, a tough battle, and drops their second game in a row, 31-24. QB Floyd Rose was sharp as ever but the Buffalo defense has been giving up a few too many points lately.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys The Vikings came to Dallas this week and defense was the order of the day, as Minnesota took home a 13-7 win. Radke had no stats, which seems about normal for him these days.





Week 8

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England got a much-needed win this week over woeful Cleveland, 24-14. Ralph had a very nice day with 25 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown, also catching 5 passes for 35 yards.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Clyde and the Lions faced off against Green Bay in Lambeau, and had a time expired field goal to get the win, 23-21. Clyde had a tackle, an assist, and half a sack.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Bears came to town and stole a 17-14 win with strong second half play. The Giants are hurting with their backup QB Artie Hailey starting, though he isn't stinking up the joint he's a far cry from their starter Tim Murphy. Brock had 6 tackles and 3 assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo faced off against the Jets this week at home, desperately trying to reverse their two game skid, but no dice, their run defense is terrible, and they dropped their third in a row, 24-14. QB Floyd Rose had a bad game, and Eric got to watch it all from the bench, as usual.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas had a bye this week.




2025 Half Season Update


Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots are 3-5 at this point, though their division is fairly weak. If they can rally in the second half of the season they may have a chance. Right now they are the leading rushing team in the league, but their run defense is terrible and they are giving up almost 23 points a game.

Ralph is playing well this year, ahead of last year's Rookie of the Year campaign in almost every area. In 8 games he has 157 carries for 678 yards and 5 touchdowns. Receiving he has 26 catches for 233 yards and another touchdown. Right now Ralph is second in the league in rushing, trailing Cleveland's Brandon Haskell by only one yard.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions The Lions are 7-1, lead their division and have the best record in the NFL right now. Most observers, however, think the Lions have been fortunate so far and will fall back to earth, as besides star QB Lamar Aufedenkampe, they excel in very few areas, with a mediocre defense and running game which platoons two backs who don't seem very good.

Clyde has to be pleased with his season so far, and the fact that he is starting after last year's bench warming season in Green Bay. In 8 games he has 21 tackles, 8 assists, and 5.5 sacks, his best season so far.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants are 3-4 on the year, with a solid defense, especially against the pass, but the league's worst rushing attack so far. Veteran QB Tim Murphy's injury has cost them, and it looks like he will be out for a few more weeks. The Giants paid through the nose to get him but for now they are stuck with backup QB Arnie Hailey.

Roosevelt has had a decent season so far, but seems a bit below the numbers he put up last year. So far in 7 games he has 36 tackles, 13 assists, half a sack, and an interception.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo is 5-3 on the year, but they started 5-0 and have now lost 3 straight. Buffalo wins with offense, with QB Floyd Rose, but their defense, especially against the run, has been terrible this year, and really needs to shape up if they want to make a run at repeating their Super Bowl title.

Eric of course has not played this year. He is honing his skills and waiting patiently for his chance.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas is 4-3 on the year, with the best pass defense in the league and a solid run defense. 2nd year QB Daniel Brown has looked shaky so far, but this is the first year as a starter for the first round draft pick.

Mercury is a backup for the Cowboys and people are beginning to wonder if he really has NFL-level skills. So far in 7 games he has 3 tackles and 2 assists.

[Peregrine]

Week 9

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Pats face the Dolphins on the road, in a game they need to win. They do, and make it look easy, with a 28-10 win. Ralph had a great day today and took home Player of the Game for his 23 carry, 111 yard, 2 touchdown performance. He also grabbed 3 catches for 29 yards.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit had a bye this week.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants can't get it done this week on the road at Minnesota, losing 24-19. They didn't score an offensive touchdown as backup QB Arnie Hailey was shelled, while Vikes QB Reggie Garrison showboated to a 353 yard, 3 touchdown game. Brock did all he could, however, with 6 tackles, 3 assists, and an interception.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo plays host to the 6-2 Bengals squad, and loses 20-17 for their fourth straight loss. The wheels are off the cart for the Bills. They're getting no production from RB Kendall Morris and though Floyd Rose is playing well, he can't do it alone.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas travelled to Washington this week for a crucial divisional game. They travel home with a 21-16 win as QB Daniel Brown really rallied the team in this one. Radke recorded a tackle in the game.




Week 10

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots battle the Bills in a divisional game this week. Not only was it the first faceoff this year between two of our players, but it was also the first NFL game for Eric Catalfamo! New England won the game 24-17, to even up their record, and Buffalo took its fifth straight loss. Ralph had 26 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, as well as 4 catches for 34 yards in the win.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions The Lions hosted the tough Redskins this week, and were beaten badly, 31-10. Barrett had 4 tackles, an assist, and a sack.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants Giants versus Eagles this week in a tough game, but the Giants lost it 20-17. Brock led the team with 7 tackles, 3 assists, and recorded a sack.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Well Eric's chance has finally come. In a controversial decision, Buffalo decided to give the kid a chance to start, even though Floyd Rose was not injured. He made the most of it, not looking much like a rookie with 19-29 passing for 231 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Will the Bills keep starting the kid or go back to Floyd?

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys The 'Boys travelled to Green Bay to face the feeble Packers, and improved their record to 6-3 with a 27-25 win. Radke had 2 tackles in the game.




Week 11

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Pats had a bye this week.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions The Vikings come to town and maul the Lions 30-17. The Lions' predicted collapse might be coming, they seem to fold up when playing good teams, but they are still 7-3. Clyde had a tackle, an assist, and a sack in the game.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants were flogged at home by Washington, 35-6, in an ugly, ugly game. Washington QB Kelvin Bellando was on fire with 4 touchdown passes.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo had a much-needed bye this week, trying to get their heads straight after 5 consecutive losses.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas routed the Eagles this week, 38-16 at home. They are 7-3 now and playing well. Radke had no stats.

[Peregrine]

Week 12

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots faced a huge challenge this week, on the road at 8-2 Atlanta. In a tough struggle they brought home a 17-14 win. Unfortunately the win came with a cost, as Ralph Sawyer went down with an Achilles tendon injury after recording only 6 carries for 19 yards. He is projected to miss up to 3-4 weeks, though he might be returned earlier.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions The Lions drop their third straight game, at home against Baltimore, 14-9. Clyde had only a tackle before he left the game with an injury. Though it didn't seem so serious at first, the MRI revealed a badly torn muscle and it looks like Clyde will miss the rest of the season. Definitely a terrible injury week for our players.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants faced a long road trip to Denver this week, trying to get a win against another weak team. It was an up-and-down game but the home team won it, 29-25. QB Tim Murphy is starting again for the Giants but it wasn't enough.Brock had 6 tackles and 4 assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo travelled to New Orleans this week to face the 6-4 Saints. Floyd Rose was back in the driver's seat at QB and he led the Bills to a desperately needed 14-6 win.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas notched another win at Oakland this week, 20-13, to take them to 8-3, they are battling the Redskins hard for possession of the NFC East. No stats for Radke.





Week 13

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots went to Denver and won a close one, 27-24. They are now 7-5 and tied for the lead of their division. Backup RB Jermaine Dusek had an impressive 120 yard game in the win.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit broke their losing streak this week by winning at home, 19-9 over Seattle. Clyde has been put on injured reserve and is done for the year.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants dropped another one, 20-12 to Atlanta, and they are plummeting down to a 3-9 record. Brock had 3 tackles, 2 assists, and half a sack in the game.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo played on the road at Oakland this week, and struggled, losing 20-14. Eric was watching this one from the sidelines, it looks like the one game breather for Rose may be the only start he sees this year.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas is really on a roll now, as they win on the road against the Rams, 17-7, to take them to 9-3. Radke had a tackle in the game.





Week 14

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England went on the road to Carolina this week, and dropped a winnable one, 17-12. Backup RB Dusek looked terrible, a major reason for the loss. Luckily Sawyer is listed as probable for next week's game.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit notched another win at Cleveland, 17-10. QB Aufedenkampe was very sharp in this one, but the Lions are still second in their division behind Minnesota.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants played host to San Diego, and got out a lot of their frustration from recent losses by pounding the Chargers 34-7. Brock had 2 tackles, 2 assists, and an interception.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo travelled to face the worst team in the league, Tampa Bay, and had little trouble beating them 24-7. QB Floyd Rose looked sharp in this one but pulled his groin at the end of the game and is doubtful for next week. Buffalo is now 7-6 and in a three way tie for the top of their division.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas faced the Chiefs on the road and took a painful loss to a mediocre team, 28-14. They suffered the loss of their young QB Daniel Brown, out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone, and Mercury Radke, who blew a knee ligament and is done for the year also.





Week 15

Playoff Watch

New England is in a three way tie for their division lead at 7-6. No wild card chance here, they need some wins or they will be out.

Detroit is in good shape at 9-4, they are just behind division leader Minnesota at 9-3-1, and have a good shot at a wild card spot if they don't get the division.

New York is out of it at 4-9.

Buffalo is another part of the three way tie with New England, this one could be close.

Dallas is one game out of their division lead at 9-4, and looks good for a wild card spot also. Their QB situation could be lethal, if they lose their last two games they might lose the spot.

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Pats face division rival Buffalo in a critical game for the division title. New England won their last match in week 10, but this time the Bills came out on top, 16-10, in a close game which saw Eric Catalfamo start for the second time due to a Floyd Rose injury. Ralph came back but saw limited play as Buffalo shut down the Patriot running game. Ralph had only 34 carries on 13 yards.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit battled division leader Minnesota on the road, and couldn't get it done, losing 20-7.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants took the road to Washington, and played a tough game against one of the best teams in the league, but couldn't bring it home, losing 27-24. Brock had a nice game with 4 tackles, 3 assists, a sack and an interception.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Eric got his second start of the year, against the same team he played last time, New England. This time Eric looked even more like the potential star he is, and ripped the Pats, with 27-38 for 322 yards and a touchdown.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas went on the road to Philly this week, and were routed by the Eagles 31-6. Cowboys QB Daniel Brown was the spark for this team and with him out, their offense is falling apart.





Week 16

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots hosted Tampa Bay and won 23-16. Ralph tore up the Bucs weak run defense for 120 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries, also grabbing 8 catches for 47 yards. This put him over 1000 yards on the season despite his injury. New England needs to win next week and have Buffalo lose to clinch the division.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit faced Cincinnati on the road, as tough as they come, and got rocked, 37-17.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants 8-6 Oakland came to Giants Stadium trying to work some late season magic, but the Giants took care of business for a 17-14 win. Brock had a season-best 11 tackles and 2 assists.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo hosted Atlanta, for what was sure to be a tough battle. Eric got the start again as Floyd's pulled groin is still causing problems. In a defensive slugging match, Buffalo won it 10-7, keeping them a game up for the division title. Eric struggled with accuracy at times during the game, ending up with 16-30 for 178 yards and the winning touchdown.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas faced Denver on the road, and got a nice win 30-20, sealing up their wild card bid.





Week 17

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England faced the Jets on the road, and had little trouble taking them out, 24-10. With Buffalo's earlier loss, this clinched the division title for the Patriots at 9-7! Ralph had 82 yards on 22 carries, and a four yard touchdown catch.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Chicago came to Detroit to play out the season, in a defensive game, the Lions won it 9-6, to finish 10-6 on the year and clinch a wild card spot.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York finished their season at Dallas, and played them close, but lost 20-17. Brock finished out the year in fantastic style with 12 tackles, 3 assists, and an interception.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo hosted Miami this week, in a critical game. Buffalo doesn't have the divisional tiebreaker, so they need to win this game, or hope that New England also loses. Eric was back as the starter, but Miami, hoping to play spoiler, smashed home two quick scores and Buffalo never recovered, losing 21-11. Eric recorded 18-35 passing for 165 yards and 2 interceptions. Later that day, the team got the news that New England had won, and clinched the division.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas got a 20-17 home win against the Giants to clinch a wild card spot.





Wild Card Round

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots got to play at home against the Titans, and Ralph found the endzone twice, but it wasn't enough, as Tennessee made the most of a fourth quarter rally to take the 31-28 win. Ralph had 83 yards and 2 touchdowns on 30 carries.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions Detroit faced Atlanta on the road, a tough test for the Lions. Atlanta clamped down with the running game and a field position battle, dominating time of possession on their way to a 26-14 win.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas faced St. Louis on the road, a tough match against the red-hot Rams. Dallas QB Ernie Sargent threw an early score, but in the second half Rams QB Dixon Pritchett took over, throwing three touchdowns and ending Dallas playoff dreams, 28-19.



The Super Bowl was a matchup of Minnesota against Cincinnati, what many had expected since they were two of the top three teams in the league. Minnesota gave no ground in a 21-0 Super Bowl shutout.





2025 Season End

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Patriots finished 9-7 and won their division title, but couldn't get anywhere in the playoffs. This is a team with a lot of potential, and their division doesn't have any exceptionally strong teams, so they should make a run again next year.

Ralph Sawyer had another good year, he is a talented power runner with good hands and can definitely make an impact on almost any team. He lost two games due to an injury but in 14 starts he ended up with 278 carries for 1125 yards, and 9 touchdowns. Receiving, he added 47 catches for 378 yards and two more scores.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Detroit Lions The Lions had a 10-6 season, which was good enough for a wild card spot, though they lost their playoff game. They play along with the Super Bowl champions Vikings so those games should be fun to watch.

Clyde had a good year which was cut short by a season ending injury. In 11 games he ended up with 27 tackles, 10 assists, and 7.5 sacks, good enough to lead the team in sacks.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants finished 5-11 and definitely want to improve on this next year, their offense struggled, especially as QB Tim Murphy was often injured.

Roosevelt is a great linebacker, but far the most talented on the Giants. He makes plays all over the field and this year had 92 tackles, 39 assists, 3 sacks, and 5 interceptions.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills The Bills had a very odd season, starting 5-0, then losing 5 games, then going 4-2 to round out the year. They missed the playoffs by a very small margin, but this is still a very good team, especially if they can improve their defense a little.

Eric played behind veteran Floyd Rose this year, but got a few starts because of injuries or rest, and for the most part played very well. He ended up with four starts, and 80-133 for 896 yards and four touchdowns, against 3 interceptions. Eric is hoping to be given the starting job full time next year, depending on what happens to Rose, who might retire, and who is eating up a huge amount of cap space.

Mercury Radke, DT - Dallas Cowboys Dallas finished 11-5 this year and took a wild card spot, but lost their first playoff game. They were sparked by young QB Daniel Brown, it will be interesting to see what he can do next year.

Mercury played backup DT for the Cowboys, and not much at all. He blew a knee ligament near the end of the year and it looks like it will reduce his already questionable skills. He had 7 tackles and 2 assists on the year, and I believe he will be released by the Cowboys and will struggle to find another team.

[Peregrine]

It's 2026, a new season for our players, will it be better than the last one? Two of our guys change teams in the offseason this time around.


2026 Preseason

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots Sawyer is ready for another year starting for the Patriots. He is currently scouted 64/65. Ralph should benefit by the signing of Sherman Jordan, a monster run-blocking center.


Clyde Barrett, DE - Carolina Panthers Clyde will be playing for his fourth team in four seasons, as he was traded to Carolina in the offseason. He has one year remaining on his contract. It looks like he will be starting for the Panthers also, he is currently scouted 57/59. Carolina signed former Lions QB Lamar Aufedenkampe in the offseason so Clyde will at least see one familiar face.


Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants Brock will start for the Giants again, he is currently scouted 73/77 and is considered about 5th or 6th best in the league at his position. 16 year vet and future HOF QB Tim Murphy is back for the Giants, but they wisely signed an excellent backup QB, Ethan Stephens.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills As predicted by many, Floyd Rose announced his retirement after the 2025 season. This leaves the starting spot wide open for Eric, and we will see what he can do. He is currently scouted 55/65. The Bills got rid of underperforming RB Kendall Morris and it now looks like rookie first round pick Craig Barlow will be carrying the rock.

Mercury Radke, DT - Tennessee Titans Mercury was, as expected, released by Dallas, but he landed on his feet with a three year deal signed with Tennessee. He looks to be a backup here too, and is only scouted as 35/39.




Week 1

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England travelled to Buffalo this week to start the season with a tough divisional battle. It was a defense-dominated game, but thanks to Ralph's running the Patriots won it 10-9. Ralph had 114 yards on 24 carries, and had 3 catches for 19 more.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Carolina Panthers Carolina started strong out of the gate with a 34-11 stomping of Tampa Bay on the road. Clyde started but only recorded an assist and half a sack.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants faced Washington at home, a tough match against a team that went to the Super Bowl last year. They surprised everyone by dominating the game, 21-6 behind two Tim Murphy touchdown throws.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Eric started off the season with an average game against the Patriots, but the offense couldn't get started. Eric was 18-26 for 139 yards in the game, throwing mostly to star WR Cap Rogers.

Mercury Radke, DT - Tennessee Titans Tennessee travelled to Indianapolis to kick off the year, and surprisingly Mercury was given the start at DT. In a field-goal fest, the Titans won 9-6. Radke recorded 5 tackles in the game.

[Peregrine]

Week 2

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England on the road against Detroit, and the teams seemed evenly matched, so evenly in fact that the game ended in a 17-17 tie! Ralph had another nice game though, 29 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown, along with an impressive 10 catches for 59 yards.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Carolina Panthers Carolina hosted a tough Cincinnati team and though Lamar Aufedenkampe threw four second half touchdowns, it wasn't enough as they dropped this one 31-28. Clyde had 2 tackles and 2 assists.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants travelled to Nashville this week to face the Titans, and it was a barnburner, with the Giants taking it 27-20 behind Tim Murphy and the excellent running of Ben Gann. They are looking like a whole new team this year, shaking off last year's misery. Brock was everywhere as usual, with 9 tackles and an assist.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills The Bills travelled to Green Bay this week, and had a very nice 31-20 win, behind three of Eric's touchdown throws. On the game he was 24 of 34 for 229 yards, with 3 TDs and one interception.

Mercury Radke, DT - Tennessee Titans Radke played well in the loss to the Giants, recording 2 tackles, an assist, and a sack. He is making the Titans look smart for signing him so far.




Week 3

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots The Pats were blown out by Jacksonville this week, on the road, 31-7. Ralph had 15 carries for 86 yards and a 6 yard reception.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Carolina Panthers Carolina faced winless San Francisco this week and took home a 33-22 win that wasn't as close as the score seems. Clyde had two tackles, an assist, and a sack in the game.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants New York hosted the winless Packers, and stopped a late Green Bay rally to take this one 29-24, going to 3-0 on the season. Brock was a force in this one, with 5 tackles, 3 assists, and 2 interceptions.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills The Bills hosted a tough Bengals team who has continued their bruising play from last year, and took them to overtime before losing it, 17-14. Eric played well, despite a critical interception that led to a Bengal score, he was 25 of 42 for 283 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Mercury Radke, DT - Tennessee Titans Tennessee handled San Diego fairly easily this week, 20-10. Radke again played well, with 4 tackles, an assist, and half a sack.




Week 4

Ralph Sawyer, RB - New England Patriots New England hosts Oakland at Foxborough this week, and get the win 27-24. Ralph had an excellent game with 138 yards on 36 carries and two touchdowns, adding 5 catches for 42 more yards.

Clyde Barrett, DE - Carolina Panthers The Panthers faced the Bears in Charlotte, and Lamar Aufedenkampe continued his excellent play to lead them to a 27-20 win. Barrett had three tackles in the game.

Roosevelt Brock, SLB - New York Giants The Giants face another weak opponent in Arizona, and stay undefeated with a 31-20 win. Brock had 9 tackles and 2 assists in the game.

Eric Catalfamo, QB - Buffalo Bills Buffalo got a needed 33-27 win at home over Miami to even their record at 2-2. It was a battle of two QBs that love to throw, with Miami's Lenny Stone providing plenty of fireworks and almost 400 yards through the air, but Eric started the game with an 86 yard touchdown to Cap Rogers and for the game was 20 of 27 for 282 yards and three touchdowns. Eric is looking composed on the field already and the fans love him.

Mercury Radke, DT - Tennessee Titans Tennessee played at Cleveland, and simply smashed them, 45-10 behind oddly-named RB Winfred Wimberly's three touchdowns. Radke had 2 tackles and an assist.
