Thursday Night Overview/Week 6 Awards

 

Last night was a pretty uneventful night for those who had players in last night's game. What was more interesting, was the players who went off on team's benches. I'm sure Eugene, who's in a battle with Albert's 5-1 team, was just thrilled to see Shane Vereen pile up 25.5 points..ON HIS BENCH. Those kind of decisions are hard to stomach. He can only hope Lamar Miller comes somewhat close to those numbers. Another guy who had a huge game on a team's bench was Chris Ivory. Luckily Drew is playing Mark, so it probably won't matter and it's tough to start Ivory over Drew's other options, but he had a nice game with over 100 and a score for 19 points. The main player in this game was Tom Brady. Dad had gone back and forth in between who to start in Russell Wilson and Tom Brady. It had looked like Dad was going with Wilson, but at the last second, he switched it back to Brady. He should be glad he did as Brady threw 3 more TD passes and came up with 22 points. My Thursday Night Shittiness continues as Jace Amaro was terrible (Jeff Cumberland was the tight end that went off because of course that how that works). After Kenny started Brandon Bolden and got a whole half point from him, Kenny decided to call it wrap on his lost season and ship off Calvin Johnson to Eugene for a draft pick. Kenny's team was on the more disappointing teams because it was thought all the way back to last season's end, that Kenny would be the favorite to win it all with DeMaryius and Calvin coming back. It just never worked out. Drew didn't get a great game from Julian Edelman, and Eric Decker was alright but Mark's gonna need overperformances from all his players if he wants a shot at beating Drew. Probably the most disappointing thing though was Alex's Pats combo. Alex ended up starting Brandon LaFell at his flex along with Gronk. Both were disappointing, failing to meet their expectations. This doesn't bode well for Alex's chance at an upset. Now..onto the Week 6 awards!

Wane McGarity Stud Of The Week
Joe Flacco (Dr. Light's Robots)
There were many great performances, such as Matt Forte and T.Y. Hilton, but not only did Joe Flacco put a nail in my coffin for the year, he did it in under 20 minutes. If the Ravens were assholes, Flacco could've seriously thrown for 10 TD's in this game..shit he had 5 in 17 MINUTES. But alas, sportsmanship rules, and Flacco's stats were severely cut short due to the blowout nature of the game. He STILL put up 32 points in about a quarter's worth of work. I hate you Joe Flacco...I truly do.

Michael Wiley Dud Of The Week
Frank Gore (Woe Is Me)
 
The matchup was great, and with Eugene having a lest the impressive showing, Kenny had the smallest of small chances to pull off another Monday Night Upset agianst Eugene. Frank Gore though, sucked. Running back play has plagued Kenny all season and this was the ultimate sign that it's just not going to get any better for Kenny. Gore conceded a ton of goal line carries to Carlos Hyde and only had a pathetic 38 rushing yards.

Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
Joe Flacco (Dr. Light's Robots)
  
Yep..he get's this too. First of all Matt doesn't have a real bonafide QB 1 as it is after the RGIII injury. His QB he's been using, Alex Smith,  was on bye so Matt casually picked up Joe Flacco to spot start him. Meh, boring if not safe, but I didn't in a million years think he'd do what he did. Shrewd Move for Matt.

Tony Romo Bad Decision Award
I played Big Ben Over Cam Newton
At the end of the day, because the rest of my team is shit, I still would've lost though in heartbreaking fashion, but still that sinking feeling at the pit of your stomach when you see a guy on your bench go completely off the rails off while the player you started sucks beyond belief is the worst feeling in the world. The funny thing is...I TRADED FOR CAM. However at the time, I traded for Cam to use for a later time. I had no plans on starting him against the "vaunted" Bengals Defense. Big Ben, despite sucking against the fucking JAGS the week before was playing a Cleveland team he had torched in Week 1. Surely he was due a repeat performance right? This is why my season is over. Stupid decisions. Roethlisberger was terrible yet again, and if not for a bs late TD to Lance Moore it would've been even worse. Cam on the other hand found his running game again and gashed the Bengals for 100 on the ground and a rushing TD and nearly 300 passing yards and two scores for 33.5 points. Fantasy Football folks..it's FANNNTASTIC.
