ULate report for Week 2, sorry. Not really. Moving on to the highlights (or lowlights for some).
4 games, 16 point differential was the closest game, 52 the biggest. I blame our commissioner for his insane point settings, or GRID. Not sure what he did but I blame him anyway. ESPN had point spread of 3 for a 51pt game, 10 for 41pt spread, a 10 pt underdog winning by 16 and TSMYTDs actually close in the prediction of his beat down of DSVP! My advice, keep basing every move on ESPN predictions. Please!!
103-52 GRID slips by the Cats. In the first big trade of the year, the Cats picked up Jeremy Hill for James Jones. Hill paid back the Cats with a solid -1. Dick. Andre Johnson continues to fail. Can’t miss DEF, -1, and a combined two week total for A. Vinatieri……..-2. GRID, through the foresight of his team of paid FFL experts posted his second big game of the season. Russel Wilson was nice, Marshawn disappointed, Hyde fell back to earth (5pts). ODB tossed in 19, Gronk was HELD to 17 and Gostkowski 19pts. From a kicker? WTF!!! I thought DSVP was the only team that was led by a K (and hometown refs against the mighty LaTech Bulldogs!). Like last year, Cats start out slumping and GRID “comes out” “flaming” hot. I’m not inferring anything….. Really….. Ok Im pissed I lost…..
114-73 Capt v PIGG. In a battle of 1-1 teams, Capt squeaks out the win by 41. Romo goes out for PIGG, crushing his chances, and Cowboy fans dreams. Luckily PIGG has Rrrrroooodddddjjjjaaaasss. 21pts. Bench. Next to T Smith 20 and Bernard 13. Wouldn’t have mattered since TBIAC aka CAPT recently sold his soul to the devil (GRID?) for a FFL victory. How else can you explain a team that starts Sam Bradford, AGAIN, and yet wins the game? Bradford had his best game of his sad career, 6pts. Forte somehow is still not injured after 2 whole games. 21pts, and 15pts from D and K is the proof of the unholy alliance. On the upside, A Brown continues dominating. The only thing that could stop Antonio Brown is…… I don’t know…… Big Ben injury? Awwww that will never happen.
In a 32 point nail biter, TSMYTD’s smacks DSVP, paying the Wildcat owner back for their grand larceny Saturday. Karma DSVP…..karma. When Julian Edelman is your leading scorer, ever, you will be losing. Edelman 22pts. 3 pts combined for both RBs! Not a good week. Fluke? Reality? Payback? (I like to think so, Go Dawgs!!). For the victor, A Luck continues to crush owners hope (you remember don’t you Capt? You remember how your “Luck just ran out”? Huh, do you remember. Do ya?). McCoy actually hit double digits and three strong games from the WR/flex positions and 18 from D was enough to make up for the “bad” Luck.
In the “close” game of the week LO pulled a defeat out from the jaws of victory for another LOSS 78-94 to the hot start DFUN, (the guy who made our stupid scoring system, see above). LO learned a lesson week 1 and benched Peyton, and got 28 from Brady’s deflated balls. Lacey, the overall #1 pick was injured early, never a good thing and finished with zip, nada, zero. WR played strong but not enough to overcome the James Jones led DFUN. Jones continues to only catch TDs (unlike the trade-rape Jeremy Hill). AP ran like he had been “switched” in the ba….. You know where I’m going…..16pts. 12pts from Watkins (good luck waiting on this to happen again) and 16 from D was enough to finish this week of FFL sadness.
TSMYTD’S, DFUN and GRID 2-0
PIGG, TBIAC 1-1
LO, DSVP and Cats 0-2
Week 3 should bring clarity to the league as the cream rises to the top and the rest fall away as they usually do (you know who you are). Let’s make some trades (not with Capt) and stop looking at waiver wire, there is nothing there, nothing. I’ve looked….often…a lot….maybe to much…
It’s been a long week!
This is Serious Business FFL
