There were some unfortunate injuries this week, in AJ Green,
Knowshon Moreno (both in Jordan’s starting lineup), Ryan Mathews, Jamaal
Charles, MJD (not a huge crisis), RG3 (also not a crisis), Doug Martin, DeSean
Jackson, Vernon Davis, and Kyle’s pride (more on that later), as well as Adrian
Peterson being inactive. Vernon Davis
was probably missed the most because the game he played in was the
closest. There is for sure no way of
knowing if someone could have had a good week, but the other games were enough
of a blowout, that I’m not sure the losers would have been helped. Or in Trevor and Jordan’s case, they still
won anyway.
Ren blew everyone out of the water…and that was with the
defense scoring a negative point. His 8
other players scored him double digits, and 5 of them scored over 20. It’s just not fair you know? I ended up beating Chad by less than 5
points, which was nerve racking. I want
to personally thank Torrey Smith for not doing much in the Thursday night
game. He saved my bacon. A battle of Monday night quarterbacks
happened between Tyler and Konner. There
was less than a 1 point differential going into this game, and Tyler won off of
the 3 passing TD’s of Andrew Luck.
Of other news, Kyle lost to Jordan, who had Moreno hurt (.4
points before being hurt), Green hurt (no points) and Dwayne Allen invisible (0
points). Plus Chris Johnson only scored
3.1 points, which would have been the lowest scorer on Kyle’s team. Basically 5 guys on Jordan’s team beat Kyle’s
team by 13 points (the other 3.5 coming from Johnson and Moreno). I can’t say I’ve seen any game quite like
that before. Had Kyle started Gates he
would have won, but I can’t say I blame him for starting Witten over
Gates. I would have done the same thing,
but that might need to change soon.
The 2-0 teams will be Skyler, Ren, and the defending
champion who had his draft ridiculed by multiple sites, Tyler Hukill. The season is still really early, so this
doesn’t mean much, but still. It doesn’t
hurt your team to be 2-0 – except on the waiver wires. So yes, Tyler is 2-0 with his 2nd
round pick being out all year, and he didn’t have his 1st round pick
this last game. So well done Tyler.
Next week is the big rivalry week in the North
division. There is the cousin game of me
and Brady, and the “We aren’t sure what their relationship really is” bowl of
Geoff and Chad. I mean Geoff did
serenade Chad at his wedding luncheon (I think it was luncheon) with “Teardrops
on my guitar”. That being said – I am a little
jealous of this relationship. Anyway, moving on. I’m not sure how much the rest of you view
this as rivalry week, but I don’t really care.
I’m not in your division. I am in the North division, and I love it.
I was
going to call the North division the division of champions, but the West has
also had 2 modern era championships, and with Kyle and Jordan Matt winning
the 2 a pre-mission championships, they would win in a tiebreaker. However, I say they only have 2 1.5ish championships. Divisions weren't the
same pre-mission. If you look at the
Packers history, they have a few superbowls, but a ton more championships, but
those championships don’t count the same because they were before the superbowl
era. I think our league functions the
same way.
Anyway, that’s it, other than I beat Chad and I love
it. He has knocked me out of the
playoffs the last 2 years in the Semi’s, and so I have to get my wins against
him while I can.
Weekly record: 3-1
Against Chad weekly record (we are in 2 leagues together):
1-1
Year to date: 6-2
