Week 7 Re-Cap: 3-2

When I lived down on settlers landing road, horhey, e-bone, and jake-o came over to the house one evening to play some pool, drink beer and throw some darts. At one point during the evening E-bone got excited about something and yelled out, in a drunken stupor, “MAN OH MAN!!!” As I sit here in the Pensacola airport looking at the results of this weeks fantasy games, that was the exact reaction I had.

In a week full of byes, I have officially dubbed this week “The Week of the Blowouts.” I can’t believe some of the scores from the games this week.

I really expected Team Smith to be a little more competitive this week than what they were. In fact, I predicted them to possibly win but was a little concerned because the BadAss Bills have the Patriots TQB and Wes Welker. Who would have thought that Brady would have been only the second QB in the NFL history to throw five TDs in back-to-back weeks? But that’s not the jest of it. Seattle’s defense came alive and between Brady and Seattle’s D, they scored only 10.1 points LESS than the entire Team Smith team! With those two scoring 99.2 points, the rest of the Bills scored an average of 10 points as the Bills break ALL league records by scoring 199 points!

And what about the Revolution? Behind LJ coming alive and the resurgent Giants defense, they ride those coat tails to the tune of a team record 171.9 points. Granted, the Gnus still have the Colts TQB and Reggies Wayne left to play, but no way to those two score 100 points to make this game close. And I have to give a shout out to my man DeMeco Ryans from Houston. Last season’s defensive Rookie of the Year had a career day yesterday returning a fumble for a TD. Not bad for a former Crimson Tider, huh? Roll Tide Roll, DeMeco!

As predicted, the Syrens played four people who were on a bye week. BUT……they still scored almost 93 points! The Bailbonds had nine out of 12 players score double digits on their way to a solid, all around 192.9 points. Four of those nine scored in the 20’s. when you have that much depth and diversification, how can one lose?

The Hogs beat the Niners in sleeper as the Niners didn’t break 50 points because they played so many people that were on a bye week. This victory, however, should put the Hogs more solidly in first.

GAME OF THE WEEK: I thought this would be closer than what it was. I even predicted the Elvi to win simply because I felt that the Miami defenders she was starting would have ample opportunity to make big plays against New England. Well, the coach didn’t start one of the Miami players and the one she DID start didn’t make too many plays, scoring only 8.4 points. Not bad, however, for a defensive player. But the Peppers had six players score in double digits, with two of the six in the 20’s. while the Elvi have three players playing tonight, the Peppers have the Colts defense. The Elvi have the Colts TE and Joseph Addai, yet they also have the Jaguars HC. I don’t think that is going to be enough to overcome the 60 point lead the Peppers have going into tonight. It might be close, but I think the Peppers will come out on top, solidifying their second place standing behind the Bills.
