Week 8 Results: Yawn




So another boring ass predictable week here at the Wane McGarity Bowl (Well except for Kenny who inexplicably lost to Mark's team). It's basically Mayra #1 Albert #2 and #3-#6 up for grabs between 5 teams with 4 teams with a 4-4 record. It's interesting to note that teams are making playoff pushes by trading away future picks. We've already seen Mayra, Dad, Albert, and Eugene make moves..well now Drew, Eugene again, and Alex have made moves to try position themselves to compete with Mayra and Albert. Should be interesting for those teams to see how the plays out, but for the rest of it....well...fuck it who cares. On to the results.

Bigger Balls (8-0)                154.5
Arturo's Beans (2-6)              93.5

Have fun next week Leland

Game MVP
Whoever The Fuck You Want It To Be She scored a 154.5 damn fucking points.

Hoosier Daddy (3-5)              99.5
Next!!!! (2-6)                         77.5

How fucking sad that Ryan now has leapfrogged me in the standings. This match is beyond irrelevant..neither of these teams is making the playoffs (even though Ryan is only a game behind, he just traded away another key player, and his schedule is bad). So ummm Eddie Lacy and Nick Foles led the way with 21 and 22 respectively. That's about all I can say about this. Leland plays Mayra (LOL) and Ryan takes on Eugene.

Game MVP
Eddie Lacy (Hoosier Daddy)
8 receptions, 123 receiving yards, 59 rushing yards, 21 Points
 

Dr. Light's Robots (5-3)                     111.5
Rocket Man (4-4)                               104.5

Eugene has had a peculiar slide after such a great start. He did put a scare into Matt last night though, as DeMarco Murray had helped him cut the lead to as little as 3. Luckily for Matt, Jordan Reed caught a couple more balls and he was able to stave off Eugene, who loses yet another close one. 3 of his 4 losses have been under 10 points. Matt wins despite a terrible Jordy Nelson play and a bad QB play in Alex Smith. Here's the thing...Matt NEEDS a QB to compete with the big boys. If he seriously made a QB upgrade he'd be an immediate serious contender. Alex Smith and Joe Flacco can and will have their moments, but they'll also put up 9 and 5 point  clunkers like they did this week. Yes, you can survive those plays against bottom feeder teams and fringe playoff teams like Dad, Eugene, and Drew. You won't beat Mayra or Albert though..just no way. Matt's best case scenario is placing 3rd if he doesn't deal for a QB. Sammy Watkins is definitely for real as he had 157 and a score (could've been a 2nd score, but he slowed down and got tackled). Jamaal Charles was Jamaal Charles (117 total yards, 2 TD's) and of course Emmanuel Sanders Thursday Night game had Matt with a big time cushion. For Eugene, it's kinda scary but I think he's fine. He'll add Calvin Johnson after the bye next week (Calvin, Julio, Cobb, and also Jeremy Maclin who he reacquired from me is a super dangerous receiving core) and he won't be someone you'll want to play in Round 1. Randall Cobb had a 126 and a score, DeMarco had an absurd 221 total yards (and a costly fumble), and Marty B had 95 and a score to lead the way for Eugene. Next week is going to be very difficult because he has 6 guys on bye (including his top 3 receivers and tight end). Even if he somehow drops to 4-5 and loses to Ryan, I think he'll be good to go the rest of the way. Matt takes on my Dad next week.

Game MVP
Emmanuel Sanders (Dr. Light's Robots)
9 receptions, 120 receiving yards, 3 receiving TD's, 34.5 Points


Channel 4 News Team (7-1)                  115.5
The Bad Robofies (4-4)                            88

And this is why that loss to Kenny hurt so much. Dad's right now on the outside looking in (due to what else...points). as Albert continues to be just a slight notch below  Mayra in the dominant department. 7-1 starts would normally lead the league, but not this season. He's doing this without A.J. Green again and Fred Jackson hurt. Alshon Jeffrey had a good game for Albert with 59 and a score but man what about the rebirth of ARIAN FOSTER. He was left for dead by most, but he's been the Foster of old so far this season and he had best game yet with 151 rushing yards and 3 total TD's for 37 points. For Dad..his team just can't get it together again. Brandon Marshall has been a HUGE disappointment so far as he only had 35 yards receiving and Sanu was the only receiver who put up good numbers with 125 receiving yards.  Jimmy Graham scored a TD, but didn't have eye poping stats and neither did Gio Bernard who scored a TD, but also suffered a shoulder injury in the 4th quarter. Again..like I've stressed all this time..Dad's QB situation..SUCKS. For the 2nd straight time, he played the wrong guy. Russell Wilson sucked horrible with only 12.5 points while Tom Brady scored 34. Lucky for Dad, it really didn't really matter, he would've lost either way, though points wise it does matter, since it's right now the last ranked team of the 4-4 group. Albert has it easy next week against Kenny, while Dad takes on Matt in what's shaping up to be a must win for Dad so he can keep up with the group.

Game MVP
Arian Foster (Channel 4 News Team)
151 Rushing Yards, 2 Rushing TD's, 4 Receptions, 24 receiving yards, 1 Receiving TD, 37 points
 

Shock The Monkey (2-6)                    72
Woe Is Me (3-5)                                  58.5

Well Kenny's 1 week renaissance was shut the fuck down by MARK of all teams. Yeah...pack it in man...you're done. Both of these teams were putrid, not one fucking guy scored over 14 points...NOT ONE. 11 of the 16 scored UNDER 10. THE FUCK OUTTA HERE. Here's a picture of a cat playing Jenga cause I sure as shit ain't giving an MVP in this matchup. 

   

Winter Is Here  (4-4)                 155
JTG's Warehouse (4-4)               90

THIS IS WHAT ALEX NEEDED LAST WEEK!!! This is why I call him such a dangerous wild card team...his team is CAPABLE OF DOING THIS. Drew could sit there and be helpless cause there was nothing he could do about this offensive onslaught. Gronk (149 and 3 scores)..LaFell (124 and a score) INGRAM (ABSURD 172 and a score) Hilton (155 and a score) Brees (300+ and 3 TD's) and DeSean Jackson (136 yards) just all had great games. So he scored 155 with Wes Welker getting 1 and Marshawn Lynch sucking. Just a lights out performance and he added Eddie Lacy to his arsenal who he'll have for the stretch run after his week 9 bye. For Drew...he's run into bulldozers two of the last three weeks with Alex and Mayra. He didn't have a great Thursday start and he didn't recover from it. It started promising Sunday Morning with Golden Tate going for 151 and a score, but Drew took out Chris Ivory for Zach Ertz (It wouldn't really matter as it was only a 10 point difference) and though Andre Ellington was decent as was Kelvin Benjamin and Jay Cutler..just not even close to enough firepower when playing a team that's just firing on all cylinders. Alex has the easy W next week against Mark, while Drew gets his easy W against me next week. 

Game MVP
Rob Gronkowski (Winter Is Here)
9 Receptions, 149 Receiving Yards, 3 Receiving TD's, 36.5 points
