The Official Page of the Wane McGarity Bowl: Week 7 Results: Is that a W by my name??

After 5 straight losses I FINALLY did something I haven't done since week 1......FUCKING WIN. It didn't come easy though..oh no, heaven forbid, in fact it's a bittersweet win, because my team played for the most part like absolute shit, I was very close to having under 40 points going into the afternoon games and definitely was in danger of losing yet again. Then Eli connected with Victor Cruz with a 77 yard TD (which was Eli's ONLY passing TD, in what was supposed to be a bonanza for him) and I double dipped. MJD then proceeded to get hurt and got a big 0 so I thought I had it in the bag. WRONG, Jeremy Kerley (yep) and Heath Miller (yep) proceeded to have big games that shouldn't have happened and I found myself down 12.5 points going into Monday night. But no worries right?? Matt Forte AND Megatron, together? Only 13 points combined to win. Shit, I can get this wrapped up by the early 2nd quarter and still watch most of Raw. OF COURSE NOT. Nope instead, Forte was okish, but Calvin Johnson was SHUT DOWN by the Bears. He also dropped a couple easy ass passes, and I didn't take the lead until under 3 minutes left in the 4TH QUARTER. Unreal, with Calvin and Matt Forte, I barely win by 2.5 points. But hey a win's a win right? Here are the rest of this week's results.

Poseidon Angry (2-5) 92.5

Richard Head (3-4) 90

I covered the gist of this matchup. It shouldn't have been that hard to beat a team consisting of Jeremy Kerley, Heath Miller, Blair Walsh and the Browns D, but alas it was. Mike got great performances from Aaron Rodgers (no shock) Jeremy Kerley and Heath Miller (big shock). Steve Smith was decent too and even Steven Jackson found the end zone. The biggest disappointment had to be Dez Bryant, who came up so small in a big time favorable matchup. Only 2 catches for 14 yards. In a matchup decided by 2.5 points, that just cannot happen. Also a crushing blow was MJD getting hurt on the 2nd play of the game. He never returned and is already out for next weeks game. Despite ALL THAT, my guys decided to suck balls as well. Eli Manning was bla, with only 1 TD and 2 picks against a horrible Redskins secondary. Victor Cruz saved his day with that 77 yard TD, and was easily the best player on my team. Some people think the Thursday Night Curse isn't real. Well, I decided to drop David Akers solely on the reason that he played Thursday night. He got 7 points, my replacement Janikowski, got 15 points. I lose if I kept Akers. Ray Rice was non existent but most of that was because the Ravens were getting blown out by Houston. Forte was meh (96 yards), Reggie Wayne was his usual solid self (usually good for around 10 points) but Calvin Johnson was god awful. He dropped a gimmie catch at the beginning of the game and just couldn't get away from the Bears D. Didn't help that Stafford's been horrible as well. Here's a guy who scored TD's in bunches and is still stuck on 1 TD after 6 games. Of course he is, he's on my team. To say this was a huge win for me, is an understatement. If I lost, I was basically done, this buys me a little more wiggle room. I'll take on Drew next week in a very scary matchup, and Mike gets Kenny.

It's crazy but Ryan started the season 0-2 and has now reeled off 5 straight wins. His team doesn't look too intimidating on paper, but week after week he manages to get the job done and this week he gets the blowout of the week against Kenny. Now to be fair, Kenny was without LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles, and Roddy White which are huge losses. Ryan though, was without Peyton Manning and Reggie Bush, but his spot starting of Chris Johnson and Josh Freeman paid off big time. Chris Johnson was back to his old self, just tearing up the Bills to the tune of 195 yards and 2 scores (could've been 4, but Jamie Harper poached two of em). Josh Freeman shredded the Saints Defense for over 400 yards passing and three scores. Even Andre Roberts got into the act with over 100 and a score. Only Larry Fitzgerald was disappointing (29 yards on 4 catches). For Kenny, he got the typical ho hum RGIII 23 points performance and Miles Austin showed up with over 90 and a score. Outside of his kicker though, noone got double digits. Nobody outright sucked, they basically performed how you figured they would. Just a lot of average lackluster performances from the likes of Kenny Britt, Stevan Ridley

Not Matt's best game by far, but still good enough to rebound from last week's narrow loss. Albert's team was thin due to byes and and injury to Jimmy Graham. No Graham, Willis McGahee, or Demaryius Thomas. Trent Richardson even got hurt again, so it was just too much for Albert to overcome. Tom Brady continues to be good but not great. You keep for that week that he goes off and it just hasn't happened. Only Lance Moore and Brandon Marshall bothered to show up. Kyle Rudolph had a giant 0. For Matt, benching Marshawn Lynch for Alfred Morris actually netted him half a point. This is as close of a low scoring game you're gonna get from Matt and if Albert would've been a full strength the result might have been different. A.J. Green had a TD but only 8 yards receiving. Big Ben did not have to do much and only Arian Foster (surprise) was outstanding adding two more touchdowns. Matt actually has a tough matchup next week against Ryan. He'll be without Foster and A.J. Green. Albert plays Leland next week.

Arian Foster (Dr. Wily's Robots) 98 rushing yards, 2 rushing TD's, 1 reception, 5 yards, 21.5 points

Sigh....Dad....dear ol' Dad. Why oh why do you do the things you do sometimes?? For every Rod Streater and Shonn Greene play, there's a Donnie Avery and Michael Crabtree play. This week, right before the Thursday night game Dad decided to switch Randall Cobb out for Michael Crabtree. He heard the announcers say Crabtree was due for a big game and so dad bought the line hook line and sinker and made the switch. It cost him the win this week. Crabtree had a quiet game while Randall Cobb scored 2 touchdowns on his way to 25 points. Dad lost by 2.5 points. Ironically Michael Crabtree has cost Dad two wins this season once for playing him and once for not. For Leland, Jordy Nelson continues to justify trading Victor Cruz, with a 22 points effort and Gronk finally snapped out of a funk to add two TD's of his own. Doug Martin had a solid day with 85 and a score. All Leland needed was 11 points from Cutler to seal the deal. He almost didn't even get that. There was a point in the game where Cutler got sacked pretty hard and it looked like he was in danger of missing the rest of the game. He came back and played and Cutler ended up with 13 points to help secure the narrow victory. For Dad, V-Jax continues to just be flat out amazing. 216 yards and a touchdown for 30.50 points. Dad gambled on Shonn Greene again and it paid off with another solid 17 point performance. Wes Welker was very disappointing with only 66 yards receiving. Though Newton's points look decent (16) he definitely isn't showing why he was a first round pick. He's definitely regressed as he doesn't get rushing nor passing touchdowns. Heartbreaking loss for Dad, but he'll have to leave it in the past and get ready to face Mayra next week. Leland will face Albert next week.

Game MVP

Vincent Jackson (The Bad Robofies) 7 catches, 216 yards, 1 TD, 30.5 points (in losing effort)

Drew's slide just continues, as he remains the sole 1 win team left in the league. This time though he put up a hell of a score (3rd highest of the week) he just happened to play the team with the highest score. Another brilliant Drew Brees performance (377 yards and 4 scores) led the way for Mayra who's team was clicking on all cylinders, even without Ryan Mathews and Malcolm Floyd. Frank Gore started everything with his 20 point performance on Thursday and it was nothing but greatness from there. Colston scored yet another TD, Andre Johnson was good (9 for 86) and Owen Daniels scored another TD and is providing Mayra the TE stability that she wanted. The Texans came up big again with a 20 point performance. Teams sleeping on Mayra better watch it, she has the 2nd most points in the league, and has a deep enough team that so far byes have not affected her much. For Drew, Adrian Peterson finally went off (153 and a score) but overall although the total points don't show it, too many guys underperformed. Matt Stafford has got to do better than what he did (He got a garbage TD at the end of the game but sucked for the most part). Darren McFadden also has to make a bigger impact (only 50 yards rushing and 28 receiving). Aaron Hernandez was quiet, though Denarius Moore and Stevie Johnson provided some scoring punch (both scoring TD's). Minnesota's Defense was good for Drew too. Drew's a tricky team to play, because his team is way better than his record suggests. One of these weeks, it's all gonna click and though it might be too late for Drew, he'll still be able to play spoiler against someone. I play him next, and it's a must win for me and I'm scared shitless to play Drew. Mayra will be without her Texans when she faces Dad next week.
