Week 6 Results: Undefeated No More

It took 6 weeks, but there are finally no more undefeated teams left in the Wane McGarity Bowl. Though it was much closer than it should've been, Mayra eeked out 4 point win to end Mark's 5 game winning streak. We're nearly half way through the fantasy regular season as teams scramble to make the push to the playoffs. Here's what happened in a dramatic week 6.

Bigger Balls (4-2)                 80
Shock The Monkey (5-1)     76

Yep, that's a 1 in the loss column for Mark. Mark had actually budgeted this for a loss as he was taking on a pretty loaded team and had no Matt Ryan who was on bye. He also had substandard games already in the books from Matt Forte and Victor Cruz. Mayra could never really take advantage though, as Calvin Johnson played limited snaps, Aaron Rodgers was bad for his standards and pretty much everyone on Mayra's team played horrible..except Vernon Davis who saved the day and nearly accumulated for 50% of her offense with an amazing 180 yards and 2 TD's for 34 points. Justin Blackmon basically kept Mark in the game with a 29 point performance of his own. It all came down to  Sunday Night, Mayra had a 2 point lead with Dez Bryant while Mark had Witten. Both didn't do much, but Dez did a little more and secured a 4 point lead for Mayra. Mayra got herself back in the hunt for that #1 or #2 seed with both Mike and Mark now. She also has a nice matchup against Ryan next week, while Mark will have to take on Drew next week.

Game MVP
Vernon Davis (Bigger Balls)
8 receptions, 180 receiving yards, 2 TD's, 34 points



Big day by Davis lifts 49ers past Cardinals 32-20

Channel 4 News Team (3-3)          77
Danny's Little Giants (3-3)            74.5

It's so funny how we're reverting back to last year's luck. 2nd straight loss of 5 points and under, this time 2.5 points. Whoopeeee. What a disaster. I just flushed away a 3-0 start and now I'm just another team. Beyond sucks. Colston and Torrey Smith were absolutely HORRID. 3 points combined. Good lord. My receivers really fucked me over this week. Garcon lead all receivers with 9 points. Greg Olsen sucked balls. Brady only threw 1 TD pass. Worst game of the season for me...yet I STILL lose by 2.5. What a joke. Welcome back shitty luck...you've been missed. Albert didn't do that great for the most either. Peyton Manning was very underwhelming with "only" 2 TD's passes but a pick and 2 fumbles.  Alfred Morris saved the day with 45 TD run that basically sealed the deal and A.J. Green is officially "back" with 19 points. I have even less confidence in my team than last week, if that's even possible. Now as mediocre .500 squad I'm in "must win" the rest of the way. I'll also go back to picking against me in the pick em like I always did. That shit NEVER works in my favor. I play Eugene next week, while Albert plays Leland in what should be a slam dunk W. 

Game MVP
A.J. Green (Channel 4 News Team)
6 receptions, 103 receiving yards, 1 TD, 19 points
 

Dr. Light's Robots (2-4)             111.5
Not Even Lying (3-3)                  68.5

Wow, this was a shock as Matt's team as fired on all cylinders and destroyed Kenny in a surprise. Matt got yet another solid performance from Jamaal Charles who has carried Matt's squad all year. Charles is for real, as he added two more TD's to his awesome season. Solid yardage games from Jordy Nelson, Reggie Wayne, and Denarius Moore helped lead the way as well (Nelson, Moore, and MJD added TD's as well). For Kenny, what a huge letdown. Every guy underperformed and man those RB's are really treading bust status. Doug Martin has 1 TD all year while Trent Richardson just doesn't do anything really. Kenny also lost Randall Cobb for the rest of the fantasy regular season which is a huge blow. Just a bad week and now Kenny's in a dog fight with most of the rest of the league who's 3-3 as well. Matt has a serious shot and getting back at this race as he takes on Dad next week. If he can win, which is very possible, he'll be right in the thick of things. Kenny faces Mike's 5-1 squad next in what should be an epic showdown. 

Game MVP
Jamaal Charles (Dr. Light's Robots)
78 rushing yards, 2 rushing TD's, 5 receptions, 50 receiving yards, 26.5 points
 

The Bad Robofies (4-2)             69
Tebow4President (1-5)              68.5

From my Week 5 Results post word for word "The losing streak for me will extend next week when Albert destroys me and I'll go to 3-3, while Dad will probably score 69 points and still somehow beat Leland".  DEAD ON FUCKING RIGHT. You SERIOUSLY can't make this shit up. Dad scores 69 points and beats Leland by HALF A POINT. Just wow. Dad does it again. Very Low scoring yet wins. His last two wins? By 5.5 points combined. Jimmy Graham had 0, Ray Rice sucked, his best player scored 15.5 points (Kaepernick) he has a score that when matchup up with a few other teams would've been made him a BLOWOUT OF THE WEEK victim, and yet at the end of the day, it's just another W. You would think this madness would stop SOMETIME, but this is the 3rd year Dad's has played in our league, and every year it's the same (including the annual game where Dad plays me, scores over 100 points and then scores half of that the next game...seriously, it happens every year). Leland my man....ugh. I'm sure he's just ready for this nightmare to END. Cutler instead of Stafford I can understand (Stafford did have more pts by 3.5 I believe) but WILLIS MCGAHEE for C.J. Spiller? Ended up being a game coster right there. I know Spiller deals with Fred Jackson and an injury, but still...if he plays...you gotta use him. Leland got screwed when James Jones went down early with an injury and though Emmanuel Sanders had a solid game, the rest of his team was horrible (outside of Cutler). Gronk was inactive again (Leland did just trade him in a solid trade for at least a Tight End who plays..Jason Witten). This was not what I expected this season from the defending champion. The road doesn't get any easier as Albert's next in line. Dad takes on Matt and no I'm not gonna predict the score this time....but just know if he wins it'll be another sub 75 pt performance that does the job. 

Default Game MVP (Geez I guess I gotta pick SOMEONE)
Colin Kaepernick (The Bad Robofies)
252 Passing Yards, 2 Passing TD's, 1 INT, 18 rushing yards, 1 Fumble Lost, 15.5 points
 
 (Laughing hard cause he knows he doesn't deserve this)


Passion ofthe Puente (5-1)                120
Hoosier Daddy (1-5)                         97.5

I feel REEEEAL BAD for Ryan. His team finally gets it together (thanks to a trade I made to him) he puts up the 3rd most points this week...and he LOSES by over 20 points because he had to play Mike. Just a bitter pill to swallow. If he would've played Larry Fitzgerald (who had 18 points, but all signs were pointing to him missing the game) it would've made the loss worse. It didn't matter at the end cause Mike and his squad put up 120. Cam Newton was back to being awesome with 30 points and 4 total TD's, DeSean Jackson was a beast, and it didn't matter he was on "Revis Island' he had 2 TD's. Stevan Ridley did what everyone is still waiting C.J. Spiller to do....BREAKOUT. He added 96 rushing yards and 2 TD's. Julius Thomas chipped in a TD, and Eddie Lacy chipped in a 100 yard rushing game. All....for.....NOTHING.  5 out of Mike's 8 players had 15 or more points. V-Jax was a monster with 114 yards and 2 TD's. Combine that with Brandon Marshall's monster Thursday game and another 126 yard Josh Gordon game and a Welker TD, and it's just unfair. Romo was even bad, with under 10 points and it didn't matter. Arian Foster keeps shutting up all those "he's too old" naysayers. He put up 141 rushing yards, and added 57 receiving yards to boot. Now Mike traded V-Jax and Marshall to me for Marshawn Lynch. His depth allows him to do that should he still should be dangerous as ever. He'll take on Kenny in a critical week 7 matchup while although the Moral Victory is nice, it doesn't count for shit in the the W/L column and now he has take on a red hot Mayra team. Yikes

Game MVP
Vincent Jackson (Passion ofthe Puente)
9 catches, 114 receiving yards, 2 receiving TD's, 27.5 points
 

 
Springville-Warrior (3-3)                79
I'm A Paul Heyman Guy (2-4)        76.5

Not only was the a relatively low scoring week across the board, but 4 matchups were decided by 4 points or less. 4! 3 were by 2.5 or less! Two of them weren't decided until the final 3 minutes of the Monday night game. For Drew, it wasn't decided until Andrew Luck's last drive with a little over a minute left. If he was able to drive and get 50 yards passing and possibly a TD pass, he would make a comeback to beat Eugene. Instead, Luck throws a pick and there's your game. A sickening 2.5 point loss. How Drew was even this to begin with is crazy since he lost both Danny Amendola and Cecil Shorts to injuries early (They combined for a point). Reggie Bush and Keenan Allen tried their best (both with 20.5 performances) but the rest of Drew's team just didn't get the job done (Peterson gets a pass for the tragic news of his son's death). Andrew Luck was flat out TERRIBLE in a prime matchup. He's not consistent enough to be counted on it seems like. 0 TD's passes against the CHARGERS. Drew got a small shot because DeMarco Murray got hurt for Eugene (not before scoring a TD though) and he missed most of the game. Gio Bernard was very serviceable not really on the rushing side, but receiving side (28 rushing yards, but 6 catches for 72 and a score). Kenbrell Thompkins has a way of ruining opponents thoughts of a fantasy victory. When Kenny had him, he went OFF Sunday Night and killed any chance I had at winning. This week, he was the recipient of a miracle game winning Tom Brady TD. Russell Wilson was bla again, but 61 rushing yards salvaged a 0 TD day. I didn't think a team of Drew's caliber would be 2-4 but there he is and he now has a tough matchup against Mark next. Eugene plays me next.
