Toilet Bowl 2017: RD1

#1 Fockers (7-6) vs #8 P Funk All Stars (2-11)
The defending champs got booted from a proper title defense on the last day of the regular season. Longtime franchise quarterback, Andrew Luck, was a no show all season and the roller coaster of Carson Palmer, Josh McCown, and Ryan Fitzpatrick doomed this team to a Toilet Bowl berth. Still, Fockers have a winning record and are poised to win the whole damn thing, which would be a nice consolidation prize.

After a surprise playoff showing last season, P Funk showed that their 9-4 2016 record was a fluke, as they sunk back to familiar 2-11 form — four of their last six seasons have ended up with only two wins. Of course, one of their two wins this season was a WK9 win versus Fockers so there’s an outside chance at a Toilet Bowl upset here... Note: We're not sure why P Funk gave up on Amari Cooper so fast, but GM Paolo must have a plan in mind!

#2 Team Cameltoe (6-7) vs #7 Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada (2-11)
As the only Big House division team to not make the playoffs, Team Cameltoe would love a long Toilet Bowl run to show their fans that they’re progressing past some up and down seasons. Russell Wilson and Julio Jones are a top flight QB-WR connection and a top draft pick would really help Cameltoe re-establish their ground game. Cross your fingers for some Cameltoe magic!

It’s now just five total wins in two seasons for Mike’s team, and here’s hoping that trend reverses. Rookie Christian McCaffrey has been a bright spot as the year moved on but an 0-7 start to the season followed by four straight losses to end have Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada looking to escape pod out of 2017 and toward next season.

#3 Jedi Knights (5-8) vs #6 Italian Stallionz (4-9)
The once powerful Jedi are officially weak and scattered throughout the universe. We thought last year’s 4-9 record was an aberration after four straight post-season showings, but Jedi are officially off the map as contenders. Given their massive PF-PA disparity (793 PA vs 1015 PA) this season, it’s actually impressive Chris piloted this team to five wins.

It’s now three straight seasons in the Toilet Bowl for Stallionz -- and they were the top seed last year -- and their fans are pretty fed up. A tough last month of games sunk Porta’s squad to bottom — not to mention the loss of Aaron Rodgers just as he was traded for, and a plethora of other injuries. Tyreek Hill led this team in points scored, which was good and bad, as Hill was spectacular but often boom-or-bust. Can Stallionz get a Toilet Bowl win to redeem their season after trading away Devonta Freeman for a slew of picks?

#4 Mandalorian Warriors (4-8-1) vs #5 Team Grrrrific (4-9)
Speaking of teams that were once great but now are suffering, Mandalorian Warriors were once the toast of the league but have gone from two six win seasons in 2015-6 to only four wins this year — including a 1-7 record to end the season. Their title from 2012 seems far away doesn’t it? Of course, GM Matt has been proactive about moving veterans for draft picks — farewell Aaron Rodgers and Larry Fitzgerald — and a rebuild could be quick if some luck and Toilet Bowl success is in their future.

Donny inherited one of the most inept situations in the league for his rookie season and basically tread water with a 4-9 record but we have to look at their non-record wins here. The trade for Kareem Hunt was a success, even if Hunt tailed off dramatically, and there’s a good chance that three of their other trade acquisitions, Jamison Crowder, Jay Ajayi, and Marcus Mariota, will stick around for upside potential. A long rebuild is likely ahead for Team Grrrrific but Donny can afford to be patient as he continues to make young orientated trades.
