Week 12 Awards

Wayne McGarrity Stud of the Week

Drew Brees (The Bad Robofies)

Talk about a game clinching performance, it was a given that Dad was going to beat Matt. They were tied going into Monday Night and Dad had a 3 on 1 against Matt, but the way Dad put the finish to Matt was nothing short of pure domination and Drew Brees led the way. 4 Passing TD's and 1 Rushing TD for 36 points. Nice way to get into the playoffs for my dad.

Michael Wiley Dud of the Week
Frank Gore (Dr. Wily's Robots)

I know, I know, it's the Ravens, but still, in a must win game for Matt  to keep his playoff hopes alive, Brandon Marshall set the pace with 16 points, a good Gore game would've been very nice, instead he only accumulated 39 rushing yards for 3 measly points. As a RB 1 and with the talent that Frank Gore has, that is simply not going to the cut it. One of the main reasons Matt is not in the playoffs.

Drew Bennett Sneaky Surprise Award
Lance Moore (The Bad Robofies)

With the playoffs on the line, Dad decided to take a risk and plug in Lance Moore at his WR #3 spot. It's not the Moore isn't good, he is, but in that offense with so many weapons, production is very up and down. It didn't happen to be this past week though. With 2 TD's, he helped seal the deal for dad and his playoff spot. Excellent gamble that paid off big time.

Tony Romo Bad Decision Award
Mike playing Chris Ogbonnaya as his RB #2

Now I gave Mike credit for playing and trying to win last week, despite him being eliminated from the playoffs, but this past week just screamed like he didn't really care and was just throwing players out there for the hell of it. It's one thing to play cute plays, but when you have Beanie Wells against a very shitty Rams defense, and Darren Sproles on the bench as well for Chris f'n Ogbonnaya, c'mon now. In no way was Ogbonnaya a high reward play, there is no upside. He wasn't even the starter! But there he was, with his whole 1 point in Mike's lineup. That plus playing Michael Crabtree (against the Ravens) over Percy Harvin (who ended up scoring and had 16 points) were just total give up plays. Harvin had been producing and was in his lineup every other week, why wouldn't he this week? Would he have won, no, Kenny's guys went off, but it would've been at least a little more competitive. The last thing you want is for someone to get a playoff spot due to an opponents lack of actually trying, but it almost came across that way here. I dunno, it's my blog and maybe I'm being biased and maybe Mike actually  believed in Ogbonnaya, but dammitt Mike try to beat Kenny like you tried to beat me, lol!
