Next!!!! (5-7) 90
Danny's Little Giants (8-4) 89.5
Remember that "let down" week I've been waiting and waiting for. Well, here it is. Deja Vu allllllllllll over again. Leland screwed up my playoff push last year in the same exact week by forcing a tie that ended up costing me playoff spot because Bryce Brown was short 2 yards. This time, Leland might end up screwing me out of a playoff bye because Pierre Garcon was short 2 yards and I lose by half a point. Half a fucking point. Unreal, but typical for me. That's why I don't trust my teams ever. My losses are legendary heartbreakers. Out of my 4 losses, 3 of them are 5 points and under. Basically my team underachieved and Leland's guys played over their projections lead by Tom Brady and Danny Woodhead (2 TD's). Brady had a crappy 1st half but redeemed himself in the 2nd half with 3 2nd half TD's and 344 passing yards overall. The rest of his team just did enough. For me, LeSean McCoy on bye ended up being huge. Chris Ogbonnaya was a HORRIBLE spot start. He fumbled and only finished with 2 points. Chris Johnson returned to shitty Chris Johnson with only 70 rushing yards. My receivers just flat out didn't come through in great matchups besides Brandon Marshall and Jason Witten. Matthew Stafford also decided to throw 4 interceptions as well. Alll that and I still only lose by half a point because Pierre Garcon couldn't get two more yards on that last screen play to him. Now it makes week 13 a MUST WIN for me for the 2nd bye against Matt. My loss allowed Kenny and Mike back in the bye conversation. Leland takes on Ryan in the irrelevant bowl next week, but I think he's done his job by playing spoiler.

Yep....Drew got the "me" treatment this year. A tie..can you believe this?! All Matt needed was 6 points from RGIII. Nope, he was TERRIBLE. 5.5 points which I believe he got an extra point on his last 8 yard run to officially tie it. This officially finishes Drew off as a playoff contender. How things were going, if he would've won, he would've still been in. A tie is just as bad as a loss though. Matt had a terrible start to the week with Colston and Roddy White starting so bad, but thanks to Jamaal Charles (115 rushing yards and 2 TD's) and great spot start games from Jared Cook and Tim Wright (27 points combined) plus a nice rushing yard performance from Andre Brown (127 rushing yards, 17 points total) he was looking at an easy win with RGIII left. WRONG. For Drew, underwhelming performances from Andrew Luck, Danny Amendola and Garrett Graham did him in. Reggie Bush could've been better but still had double digit points. All that sit him talk about Adrian Peterson was stupid. He was awesome as usual (146 and a score). Just a bad break for Drew, who had a playoff revival for a week after looking at the schedule and seeing he had a chance. For Matt, the tie sucks, but it's better than a loss and if he beats me next week, he's got that half a win edge to beat out someone like Albert. Drew will try to play spoiler now against Mike next week.

Mike escapes with a win, that almost turned into disaster Monday Night, after Vernon Davis caught two TD's passes for Mayra and then narrowly missed a 3rd one. Instead, he outscored Mayra in a shootout, and now has an excellent shot at getting a bye. Thanks to a MONSTER game from Josh Gordon (237 receiving yards and a TD) plus good games from Coby Fleener, Zac Stacy, and Jarrett Boykin, Mike was able to secure his 8th win and 2nd straight playoff berth. The bad news though, is that Zac Stacy suffered a concussion and his week 13 status is up in the air. That would be a terrible blow for Mike, as Stacy has been a beast since he's been the Rams starter. For Mayra, the news gets worse. She got a 224 rushing performance from Knowshon Moreno, but in the process he suffered an ankle injury and his status is in question too. Terrible break and she plays Kenny as well. If she doesn't have Moreno for week 13, it would be difficult to beat Kenny at less than 100% strength. Antonio Brown proved that it doesn't matter who's covering him, he's still a beast. He had 92 and a score. Dez Bryant was better, but still he's not producing at that elite level that everyone is used to. He finished 86 yards and a fumble. Alshon Jeffrey was also a disappointment considering the matchup. He only had 6 points. So Mayra, with her playoff hopes on the line, has to beat Kenny in Week 13 to get in. Mike, with his BYE hopes on the line, has to beat Drew in Week 13 to have a shot at the 2nd bye. Like I said, very interesting stuff.

The only matchup that wasn't determined by the Monday Night Game. Kenny easily dispatches Mark and now sets himself up with an excellent shot at a bye. It's a three way battle between me, Kenny, and Mike for that #2 bye. At the very least though, this win earned Kenny a playoff berth, his 2nd in 4 seasons. Nobody was "light's out" for Kenny, but everyone outside of Charles Clay, was solid. 7 out of his 8 players had 12 or more points, but noone had more than Drew Brees' 19. For Mark...just what else can you say??? The fact that despite the continuous freefall all he has to do is win to get in is astounding. He's now 1-6 in his last 7 games, including a 5 game losing streak. He now has both a 5 game winning streak and a 5 game losing streak in this season. Victor Cruz was beyond abysmal. He fumbled, and only finished with 1 point. That receiving group has killed Mark basically all this 2nd half of the season. He only got 13 points for his 3 receivers and flex. Ryan Fitzpatrick was a great spot start with 320 and 2 TD's, but still it didn't matter with the rest of team underperforming. Matt Forte didn't make an impact either. So now it comes down to this. If he can beat my Dad, who is 10-2 and riding an 8 game winning streak, he'll get in for sure. If not, his points might not be enough to keep him in the playoffs. Kenny needs to beat Mayra in Week 13, to keep his bye hopes alive.

This was actually closer than the score indicates as Dad was down 27 points going into Monday Night. But thanks to 46.5 points from Colin Kaepernick and Anquan Boldin (who connected for two TD's) Dad picks up win #10, an 8th straight win, and most importantly he wrapped up the #1 seed in the league. He's guaranteed to play for money now. Does it matter who didn't do anything for Dad? He always finds away despite horrible running back play, a 0 from Aaron Dobson, and a crappy Andre Johnson game. For Eugene, Alex Smith was a great spot start with 294 and 3 passing TD's, and DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews combined for 26.5 points, but outside of that, just typical production from what is a pretty weak team that got decimated by the bye week this week. Dad is on cruise control for the next two weeks, as they are relatively meaningless games. He can still play spoiler to Mark and deny him a playoff spot by beating him next week. Albert is thanking his lucky stars he gets to play Eugene in week 13. A win against Eugene, would give Albert a shot at still making the playoffs.

Wow...at least with me, although it was a very shitty loss, I've already clinched a playoff spot so at the end of the day, it's not too devastating, but to have two running backs the caliber of Alfred Morris and Frank Gore and all they need is 10 points COMBINED and the fail to get it?! Wow...what a cruel way to lose. Alfred Morris and Frank Gore combined for 8.5 points last night to lead to the surprise upset win for Ryan. It didn't help that Peyton Manning played game manager most of his game as he had a season low, 12.5 points. Even Dwayne Bowe and Tavon Austin showed up with touchdowns apiece and Mike Wallace had one of his rare blowup games with 127 receiving yards and a TD. All for nothing unfortunately. For Ryan, Eddie Lacy once again carried the load, with 110 rushing yards and as score, and 48 receiving yards. Larry Fitzgerald added a couple of receiving scores, and though Cam Newton wasn't awesome passing wise, he still finished with 51 rushing yards and a rushing TD for 19.5 points. It's a bad loss, but it's not completely over for Albert. Because he has the points, if he can beat Eugene (pretty much a lock) and if 2 out of the three of Mark, Mayra, and Matt lose, he'll get in by way of points and once again be a dangerous low seed. Ryan plays Leland next week to wrap up their miserable seasons.
