Bob Sits Britt, Blount, Becomes Chucky The Pirate

This week couldn't be more different than last.  Week One saw torrents of scoring and blowouts; Week Two saw mostly grueling chess matches and missed opportunities.

None was so missed than that of The Sons, who sat their own version of the killer bees (that'd be Bradford, Blount and Britt) and instead played Matt Ryan, Arian Foster and Mike Williams.  The QBs were basically a wash, but Foster was a known half-scratch, and Williams, who is usually dependable, was covered in a purple-and-horned blanket, and lost out on a touchdown due to a penalty.  Bad luck, and our first tie.  You just can't get closer than that.

Running up for closest game was Sergeant Hightower busting the Union.  There's no way anyone could think that Jamaal Charles would go down that hard, and for the season yet, and that was clearly the game changer.  One point.

Less than 16 points separated The Ites and The BMOs, and there wasn't a thing Brian could have done about it, even if he'd gone against the (seriously heavy) odds and played Stafford over Vick.  Of course, if you take a look at his roster, it's the walking wounded:  eight guys on the injury report.  Serious ouchies.

Scott's 17.5 win over Barak was another weird one to watch, with A.J. Green blowing off the doors of fellow Bully DeSean Jackson.  Seriously though, Barak, you played Davone Bess over Deion Branch?  Anyway, with Brady, Mike Wallace and the Lions' D, the thunder was a'roarin'.  You didn't even need that TE to contribute.

Which leaves us with the biggest win of the weekend, as Smyth dealt the death blow to a bunch of guys who apparently can't lift anything as a team.  25.5 points should be enough of a message to play Jahvid Best whenever you can, but your WRs just couldn't find a football coming their way if they bought one at Sports Authority.  8-5 should start to pay a few dividends, but I think you're looking trade some time soon.
