The Official Page of the Wane McGarity Bowl: Week 7 Results

What an UGLY ASS WEEK this week was. In term of injuries, underproduction, bye weeks sub ins, and just plain out ugly scoring, it has to be one of the worst fantasy weeks of the season (unless you won of course). Only 3 teams scored over 82 points, and half the league scored under 70 (including two sub 60 performances). Dad scored 66 points and WON. That's how brutal it was. Let's take a look at the rundown of Week 7.

Hoosier Daddy (5-2) 109
RuggedRaymontHarris (4-3) 67

Overview: Wow, TOTALLY DISGUSTED at my team's performance. I lose by 40+ again (2nd time this year) but at least last time I put up a respectable 90 points. This time, GOOD GOD, it was bad. First of all this is what happens when you start off the bat with Jackie Battle and Greg Little. Battle wasn't half bad (70+ yards in a clusterfuck of a running back situation) but Little was dreadful. He STILL put up 3 times as many points as Vincent Jackson. Yes yes, Revis Island bla bla bla, Vincent Jackson has been terrible regardless. He's only had 1 1/2 good games, and I'm starting to really worry about him being the elite receiver he's supposed to be. Greg Jennings was the only guy on my team to show up with 147 and a score. Tony Romo actually wasn't bad, they just had a field day running the ball all over the Rams, that Romo didn't have to throw much. One of those good real life games/disappointing fantasy games. Kellen Winslow did what I needed him to as a fill in, which was score, too bad it was against my Bears defense. Who was the most disappointing of all though? That would be Ray Rice. The guy I traded Ahmad Bradshaw and Roddy White for. Against a shitty Jaguars team, he managed only 28 rushing yards and 38 receiving yards and he fumbled. Horrible game, and though it wasn't a game breaker (i would've lost anyway) it would've been nice to pile up some garbage points for the standings. As bad as I played, I still could've beaten four other teams this week, but unfortunately I was playing against the team with the second more points of the week in Ryan. Cam Newton does it again. An average passing game (250 and a score) bumped up with 59 yards rushing and a rushing TD. That's such a nice luxury to have at your QB position. Mike Wallace hauled in a 95 yard TD that basically made his day. The only concern is Rashard Mendenhall who after it looked like he turned a corner, reverted back to crappiness with 32 rushing yards against the Arizona Cardinals. MJD had a nice game but failed to score again (he did fumble at the 1) and what more can you say about Jimmy Graham. Dude's a MOSNTER, week in and week out. 54 receiving yards and 2 TD's. I could've actually lost even WORSE, but Ryan at the last second subbed in Mike Williams for Plaxico Burress (Burress had 3 TD's). Ryan also made a nice spot start in the Texans Defense who annihilated the Titans holding them to 7 points and also scoring a defensive TD. It was just way too much to overcome, and Ryan's team was lights out this week.

Take Dat Wit Chu (4-3) 73
Da Boys (2-5) 59

Overview: Ugly, Ugly, Ugly. Kenny SHOULD'VE lost this game. His guys were looking horrible plus he made the biggest mistake of the week by playing Daniel Thomas over DeMarco Murray (yep, Dallas' new all time single game rushing record holder on the bench, though to be fair it was coin flip in my opinion to play Thomas or Murray, he just picked the wrong guy by a wide margin). Aaron Rodgers is his only guy who scored double digits besides his kicker and defense. Santonio Holmes and Miles Austin? Non existant (40 yards receiving combined, 3 points). Running backs bla (Mathews even got hurt, and only scored 5 points, Daniel Thomas only 50+ yards rushing). He didn't even play the right tight end (Tony Gonzalez 62 yards over Fred Davis 80 and a score) yet Kenny Bybee wins by 14. The big reason why, Darren McFadden's injury in the first quarter. That was a HUGE loss, and against the Chiefs, there's no doubt in my mind McFadden would've done even better than what Michael Bush did (99 yards). Cindy was playing without Wes Welker and Andre Johnson, and it showed as her team only managed 59 points. Matt Ryan continues to be uninspiring but luckily a rushing TD upped his points to 16. Only 8 points combined from her receiving trio of Pierre Garcon, Reggie Wayne, and Robert Meachem. Shonne Green wasn't actually bad (112 rushing yards) and Owen Daniels still managed 71 yards receiving, but losing McFadden and getting a zero was just too crushing to overcome and now Cindy faces Mike Posey in the battle of 2-5 records.

Key Players

Aaron Rodgers (Take Dat Wit Chu) 335 passing yards, 3 passing TD's, 8 yards rushing, 25 points

Reggie Wayne (Da Boyz) 36 receiving yards, 3 points

Salt & Vinegar Chips (2-5) 98
Shredders (2-5) 59

Overview: Another ugly game, but a must win for Posey and he got it very convincingly. The trades he made have both worked out pretty well as Matt Schaub (296 and 2 td's), Steve Smith (143 receiving yards) and Marques Colston (98 yards and 2 TD's) were huge factors this week. Michael Turner also provided a nice game (122 rushing yards) and Antonio Gates made a nice comeback and scored a TD. Unfortunately Beanie Wells got hurt and there's a possibility he misses a couple weeks. Percy Harvin also re-injured his ribs but he was ineffective when he was in (15 yards). Zach's kicker led all his scoring with 15. That's how bad it was, as the only one who was decent was Mike Tolbert who had a TD to go with 58 rushing yards. Willis McGahee got hurt but he had a fumble and only 78 yards rushing. I had high hopes for Joe Flacco, but he along with the rest of the Ravens offense was DREADFUL, and luckily he got a last minute TD pass to Boldin to pick up a couple more points. 137 passing yards, 1 TD and a pick ain't gonna get the job done. Zach's random receiving core was bla including a zero from Doug Baldwin. Benjamin Watson also got a zero and he suffered a concussion on top of that. The bye week unfortunately obliterated Zach's team and he was forces to go with some risky choices. He didn't pay off at all as he ends up tying with Cindy for least points in the league this week.

Channel 4 News Team (4-3) 119
Dr. Wily's Robots (3-4) 82

Overview: Arian Foster....what more can you say?? I said right after the draft that Foster could end up being a steal at the 5th pick, which is where he went due to injury concerns. I think this week proved that theory in spades. Such an AMAZING statline, just unreal and it's the 2nd highest output of the season. 115 rushing yards, 2 rushing TD's, 119 receiving yards, 1 receiving TD for a grand total of an amazing 40 points. You could slice those two lines up and they would be bad ass on their own. There was no way Albert was losing this week after last week's debacle. Megatron did his thing as well (115 and a score) and even Dez got in the end zone (90 and a score) as Albert was just firing on all cylinders. Steven Jackson added 70 and a score, and though Jermichael Finley was kind of disappointing yet again, he still managed a TD. Albert's domination was able to hide a horrible Matt Hasselbeck performance (104 passing yards, 1 passing TD, 2 picks, and he was pulled in the 4th) while Kevin Walter was bla (35 yards). Arian Foster got almost half of Matt's points by himself as Albert scored the most points of the week. Matt got another solid Adrian Peterson performance (175 rushing yards and a rushing TD) but outside of Mason Crosby and his amazing 18 points, no other guy on Matt's team got double digits. It's of course hard to do well when you have two awesome rb's on bye (Frank Gore and Fred Jackson). Tim Hightower actually was having a solid game (88 yards) but got hurt and ending up tearing his ACL and is now out for the season. Philip Rivers continues to be a disappointment (179 passing yards, 2 interceptions, 1 passing TD) and I wouldn't be surprised if Matt goes back to Eli Manning after the bye. Brandon Marshall and Dwayne Bowe got decent yardage (61 and 76 respectively) but didn't find the end zone. Jacoby Jones and Dustin Keller did nothing of note as it just wasn't in the cards for Matt this week.

The Bad Robofies (5-2) 66
The_Twin_Killers (4-3) 65

Overview: The matchup of the week. Dad looked like he was heading to another loss, as he team hadn't done anything at all. Dad has 24 points from his ENTIRE TEAM, going into Sunday night's game with Drew Brees and Mark Ingram still to go. 42 points between those two? Possibly, but highly unlikely right?? DEAD WRONG. BREES WAS AMAZING, 325 passing yards and 5 passing TD's for 33 points. Unlike Kenny's failed comeback though, Mark Ingram delivered the knockout punch with 91 rushing yards (after he got that 91st rushing yard, he left the game with an injury, delivering JUST ENOUGH for dad to win) and dad pulled off an amazing spectacular win that will go down as one of the greatest comebacks this season....and he did it with a grand total of 66 POINTS. Unreal. Noone really worth mentioning on Dad's side, even a shitty -4 performance from the Titans Defense wouldn't matter. Chris Johnson sucked AGAIN (18 yards rushing and 27 receiving) and it's unbelievable how much of a bust he's been. It's more unbelievable that despite that, Dad is 5-2. Leland was down Hakeem Nicks, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Rob Gronkowski due to byes, and outside of Matt Forte's usual brilliant self (145 rushing yards and a score, 38 receiving yards) you could tell by the points. Tashard Choice was a brutal play, as Demarco Murray outshined him from the get go and Choice ended up getting hurt but not before fumbling and getting -2 points. Roddy White reached the endzone, but didn't do much yardage wise, Stafford was pretty mediocre as well (189 and a TD). Nate Burleson showed Leland what he showed my dad...nothing(10 yards). Brandon Pettigrew was disappointing as well, only 31 receiving yards. Darrius Heyward-Bay was decent with 89 yards, despite crappy QB'ing from Carson Palmer and Kyle Boller. 7 weeks in and Dad is 2nd in the league.....crazy!!
