Record Breaker!

After some extensive research by our experts, it's been determined that Mandalorian Warriors set a new high this past weekend.  158 points!  Having already secured a victory against 100 Acre Wood Pooh Bears heading into MNF, Matt decided to step it up a notch and really put the fear into his opponents.  His Bears defense went out and intercepted Tony Romo five times, and scored two defensive touchdowns, totaling 24 points and pushing Mandalorian Warriors to the record.

Taking a closer look at this awesome achievement, we see that three players topped 20+, everyone went over double digits, including kicker Matt Prater who dropped in a cool sixteen.  Drew Brees had 446 passing yards with 3 TDs while Falcons' hero Roddy White tossed up 169 yards and 2 TDs of his own.  In fact, the only player who didn't score a touchdown was LeSean McCoy, a fact he was bitter about post-victory.  And it's not like there were a lot of points on the bench either, as Matt made all the right moves to hit a record day.

And while we're here, let it be noted that Mandalorian Warriors broke their own record, as they had 146 points in 2007 versus the Detroit Players.  If they want to put up 145 this season, they can own all top three spots on the individual game scoring charts. Let's not put it past them, as this team is clearly a juggernaut after a recent trade for Roddy White.

Lest the celebration get out of hand, Coach Fett had this to say at today's Q&A: "All this proves is that the professionals on this roster got the memo that last week's embarrassment was not acceptable.  Do they give out championships after four weeks now?  No?  Fine.  We have a huge divisional game this weekend, a division in which we are 0-1, I might add. This program has no rearview mirror." Clearly this franchise is looking for bigger things than just regular season records. Still, a big hand and super congrats for an jaw dropping week!

Some interesting notes from our research team, aka Matt. See the entire spreadsheet here.

A history going back through the 2004 season of scores over 120 points.  Of course I may have missed something, as I compiled this manually.  The tabs just show different sort orders, and counts by franchise.  Of note:

• The 130 point mark was breached only 10 times.  At 8 games a week, 16 weeks a season for 8.25 seasons comes to over 1000 games.
• In only 3 cases did a team score more than 120 during the playoffs, but only one of those counted (Players in 2007, 131-62 over Pooh Bears in Playoffs round 1).
• In week 3 of 2007, the Pooh Bears beat the Amoebas, 121-120, the only time both teams reach the 120 point threshold.
• The Pooh Bears and Players have the most games > 120 at 4, followed by the Warriors and Lunatics at 3.  I didn't consolidate any teams that changed names, so these counts may be off.
• The Jedi Knights have had the most > 120 games played against them with 5.  The Pooh Bears also have been on the wrong end 4 times, the Players, 3.  Ditto about consolidating names.
