Big point totals and a couple of close games marked week 2. After 2 weeks 4 teams are 2 – 0, 4 are 1 – 1 and 4 are 0 – 2. Those four on the bottom need a victory this week big time before the season starts to slip away before it even begins.
Singletary’s Bad Dream vs. Nick Got This – Singletary was probably the only person in America that did not start Jamal Charles last week and still took a loss. While making the great call to start two other RBs, the zero he received from Plaxico and Gates could not be overcome. There was no one else on the bench that could have saved him though so no other bad calls even when you put up doughnuts on the scoreboard. Nicks Got This left his Giant WRs on the bench in place of the zero he received from Mike Williams, but Nicks got 13 points between his TE and second WR, which was the difference in the game he won by 11.
Show Me Your TDs vs. Team Cromartie + 8 – WOW! That is all that really needs to be said about this game. We saw all of Show Me’s TDs this week as his team went bananas and scored 143 points! He doubled the output of his unfortunate opponent. He also left Fred Jackson’s 26 on the bench so an optimal lineup would have been even more crazy. There was nothing Cromatie could have done to overcome the point onslaught by TDs so if you are going to go down, go down big I guess.
Blount’s Blunts vs. Rock Chalk – Too many single digit performances on the scoreboard doomed Rock Chalk and dropped him to 0 – 2. Blount got on track this week for 19, but they all sat on the bench for team Blunts in addition to the 16 points from backup TE Keller. This could have been even more of an ass beating with an optimal lineup.
Goldteef Shinnin’ vs. Prestige Worldwide – Goldteef got off to a huge start and was crushing Prestige early on. Goldteef crossed the triple digit barrier, but unfortunately had to watch as Prestige mounted a crazy comeback on the backs of Miles Austin and Michael Turner. Austin blew up for 35 to get the game close and then Turner grinded out a win late in the Sunday night game. A late TD and big run gave Prestige the edge in the end. Goldteef got another lackluster performance from his team’s namesake and if he had played Fitzpatrick over Big Ben he would have made up the difference in points to pull out the W. Of course Prestige had all 29 of Maclin’s points on the bench so playing the shoulda woulda game does not usually make you feel any better. Still, throwing up triple digits will usually get you a W in this league so tough pill to swallow.
I’m Lovin’ the West Side vs. Team Grape Leaves – definitely the slimmest margin of victory this week with one point separating the two teams. West Side squeaked out the victory even though big hitters like Foster and DeSean provided a combined 5 points. Grape Leaves got TDs from each of his QB, RBs and WRs but his TE and Defense let him down. Grape Leaves could have started the Saints D and scored an easy win or he could have even just not started the Bills D and came up with a victory as the negative 3 points from the Bills just crushed his team’s hopes of the first W.
Mike Vick in a Box vs. Raw Dawg Kings – This early season re-match had a much different outcome the second time around. Box pulled out the 1 point victory in week one but got raw dawged in week 2 thanks in large part to the negative 1 from the Bears D. Getting 21 the week before was huge in securing a victory but the Bears got dumped on Bourbon Street. Ahmad Bradshaw was left standing to make up the 36 point deficit on Monday night but was not able to come close as Fitzgerald and Matthews stepped up huge for Raw Dawg this week and brought home the W and the week 1 vindication.
Move of the Week: West Side made a great call picking up the Houston D this week and dropping the woeful Rams. The 12 points he received from his defense were huge in securing the 1 point victory.
Oops of the Week: Same matchup, same position, different outcome. Grape Leaves probably wish he overslept on Sunday morning has he made the choice to pick up the Bills defense and start them for a negative 3 points. Rolling with the Saints on his bench or not even starting a defense at all would have been enough for a W.
Team that Wish They Played Someone Else: Goldteef wins his first award of the year putting up triple digits, outscoring 8 other teams and getting beat by 5 points.
Team Glad they Played Who They Did: West Side wins his 2nd award of the outscoring only 4 teams out of 11 but playing one of them.
Viva Las Vegas!
