Welcome to the mid-season report for NBFL season 22.

AFC North
Baltimore Mavens - 3/2/2
The Good: They currently lead their division
The Bad: Their division lead is very narrow, leaving no room for error on the back half
The Ugly: The AFC north is full of bash, meaning that one bloody game could well be the end of the Mavens
Grade: B+

Vigilante Shingles - 2/4/1
The Good: Only 1 point behind Baltimore at the midpoint, with plenty of time left to overtake them
The Bad: Consistently tying is certainly better than losing, but it won't win a division
The Ugly: For Chaos Dwarves, they aren't scary, boasting a handful of MB, and very little guard
Grade: B

Khleveland Khrowns - 3/1/3
The Good: Only a tie out of first place (3 points)
The Bad: You are what your record says you are. This is a .500 team by any measure
The Ugly: No reliable ball handling. Will cost them in the back half
Grade: B-

Kaepsburgh Kneelers - 2/3/2
The Good: The entire division is bundled closely, and it's still anyone's race
The Bad: 4th place in the division is still 4th place in the division

Grade: B-

NFC West
Los Angeles Glams - 4/1/2
The Good: Almost a lock to get into the playoffs

Grade: A-

C'attle C'haos - 3/3/1
The Good: 1 point behind LA for division lead with plenty of season to play
The Bad: Trouble closing out games, leading to more ties than they probably want

Grade: A-

[strike]San Fransorco 49er[/strike] Fan Foulcisco Fakes - 2/0/5
The Good: They're not a last place team
The Bad: 3 forfeit losses so far this season (due to some unfortunate RL issues)
The Ugly: Mid-season replacement squad is Underworld, so the tailspin likely continues
Grade: C+

Hot Arizona Sticky - 0/4/3
The Good: They've caused 17 casualties this season
The Bad: They have a 0 cas differential this season, rather disappointing for Nurgle
The Ugly: Need to win out for any playoff hope

Why can't 1 TD a game win a championship? As long as it's one more than the other guy, seems fine to me...

Nice overview, Anti... the Khrowns will look to be more than mediocre in the 2nd half. We had some wicked injuries with our regen sputtering the first couple games. We are bearing down. Look for both Blitz-Ras to finally get to Super Star status in the coming weeks.
