The spread on the Tennen-Feinberg game was 18.5, in favor of Eric. I lost by 19. The projections were a little off, though. CJ Spiller was supposed to break out (and I fully believed this). Demarius Thomas, too. Both were responsible for my serious loss. On the flip side, I don't think anyone should rely on the Bengals' D for 20+ points on any week. Either way, congrats, you earned it. I'm sinking like a stone here!
The other division leader (by a tiebreaker over me, I might add) couldn't quite make it over the hump. I'm blaming this one on Ryan Matthews, Barak. The guy doesn't seem to want to make it through the season without an injury. And I'm with you playing DeSean Jackson without thought, but that might have been a killer, too.
This week's Skin Of Their Teeth story comes courtesy of Jason, whose whopping half-point victory brings the Mo-Mo's to .500 this year. This is all due to Nieve leaving Hines Ward active, even though he didn't play (announcement about an hour before game time). OUCH, NIEVE. You have too many players to keep, to not either drop an IR guy, or deal one for an able body...unless you're stockpiling and sucking for Luck.
Bob went long (figuratively, obviously not literally) by dumping all other QBs in favor of Mr. Loopy Throw. Tebow + Jabar Gaffney (6 points) + Texans' D (6 points) + Ryan Longwell (6 points) sentenced him to this week's low point total. Four regular starters on the bye didn't help, but if you're looking for more consistency this season, give me a holler. I gots the Fitz.
I'm not sure what to say about Scott's loss, other than when you roll with an Indy RB, you force yourself to roll deep. As soon as they get behind, it becomes an all-pass-all-the-time show. The nice thing about Carter is that you have a solid keeper for next year, pending Peyton's return, of course.

ReplyDeleteThanks! To get back to posting on Monday/Tuesday nights regularly, I need to either find a job that doesn't require crazy hours during the week, or start writing them on Sunday and deal with the occasional "Dewey Beats Truman" moments. Choices.
