What have we missed since my last post? We’re soon to have a newly elected Trump president, ROMO cried and gave in to the Dak, there have been even more injuries to star players, the Giants are winning and nobody is really noticing, and the Cardinals have been really bad.
But on to things that actually matter…
The Bills dropped 2 games to the Patriots and Seacocks before pulling out a win against the declining Bengals. The Seacocks game was one they should’ve won if it hadn’t been for those meddling refs. Shady McCoy would be an MVP candidate if he wasn’t going and getting hurt every game. Even with all the injuries, the Bills still have a chance at the playoffs, and will continue that run for the playoffs this week against the 2 win Jaguars.
Tom is one of the many trying to claim one of those sacred playoff spots, and was the highest scoring team of the week going against Colin “Cinema” Apperson. Tom’s getting his luck back, and used it to get Fat Rob, who earned over 30 points last week. Tom has somehow ended up with a decent stock of running backs after starting the year with nothing. Colin on the other hand did actually set his lineup to replace Julio, Marshall and Antonio Gates on bye, but Cam Newton’s 12 points weren’t going to help him stay in it. Too bad for Tom, he plays against my unstoppable roster of misfits this week, led by Matt Ryan and the Vikings Defense (but that victory speech can wait until next week).
Xavi and Tj played against each other for the shot at possibly making the playoffs. TJ lost the matchup, and probably won’t see the playoffs because of it. 9 people have a record of at least 5-6 now after this week, so I’m sure there should be some tension moving forward. Andrew Luck led Xavi’s team, but he’s in concussion protocol now so he’ll need to find a replacement (aka Eli Manning). TJ’s team really isn’t that terrible when you first look at it, then you notice that three of his bench spots are being warmed by backup running backs Christine Michael, Jizz Rodgers and Damien Williams.
Ders loves Bell, and would love a keeper league to keep Bell forever, but that’s not going to work out for him this year. Bell and Jennings led Ders’ team over Weston’s sliding team. AJ Green and Sproles were hurt this past week, but he’s got some suitable replacements available. He just can’t afford to lose more starters for much longer. It’s looking like Weston needs to win out these last two weeks to keep his playoff hopes alive.
Brenda needed to win out if he was to have a playoff shot, and he beat Carey down this week to make that happen. Carey’s team took a hit with Gio going down for the season, and will need more reliable play from Crowell, Ingram, Riddick, and Matthews (who is almost always hurt himself). I just noticed that AP is still on Brendan’s bench, and if he were to come back, he might actually have a good shot in the upcoming weeks. Brendan also started a Tight End (Ladarius Green) who has had 3 total points this year.
Brad further distanced himself and locked in a spot in the playoffs this year. Congrats fag. David Johnson is the best running back there is, and he’s been on a shit team. Even with Gronk injured, and the Ravens Defense getting -2 points, Brad still scored over 100 points. Steven can theoretically still miss the playoffs (I think) if he loses out, but he’s a game ahead of the rest of the pack with only these few weeks left, so if he wins one, he’ll be good. If Tuddy Gurley can keep scoring those tuddys, Steven should be in the clear. Oh, and Tevin Coleman should be coming back from injury this week.
Tyler’s team was the second highest of the week with 105, with his best play coming from a 20 point Lions defense (who were a spot start while the Broncos are on bye). If his running backs can all continue to play well, he shouldn’t have any problems, but he’ll need more good games out of Edelman too. My team is sad and broken, but there’s still some hope that I can knock some playoff hopefuls out of the running, and have a respectable couple of weeks before I win the losers bracket. We’ll start with Lucky Tom and see how it goes.
Friendsgiving and Football week folks which means some early Thursday games to keep us happy.
