Rocket Man (1-0) 162
Winter Is Here (0-1) 112
This was never remotely close despite Alex ending putting up a respectable 112 points. Eugene's team is ON FIRE at the right time now as he put up a whopping 162 points. We already covered his Thursday plays, but damn..Eugene ended up with 4 players score 25 or MORE (Aaron Rodgers put up over 325 and 3 scores for 27, Calvin Johnson had another HUGE game with 158 and a score for 25, Julio Jones went INSANE with 259 yards and a score for 36.5 points and we talked about Murray's 31.5 points Thursday). Just nothing Alex could do to stop the barrage. That's with Randall Cobb and Ryan Mathews not doing much. Eugene could always go back to Maclin if need be as well. This is what I expected from Eugene's team when he put those trades together. PURE DOMINATION and a legit threat to Marya next week. The ONLY scary thing is the health of Julio Jones. He seemed to seriously injure his hip late in last night's game and never returned. For Eugene's sake..he better hope he'll end up OK because if not..that's a HUGE blow to his chances of dethroning Mayra. For Alex the first wave of games were UGLY. At one point the score was something like 62- -3. He got in a huge hole and was never able to climb out. His Saints guys KILLED him..Brees, Stills, and Mark Ingram combined for 19 points. That's just not gonna cut it and after Brees looked like the Brees of old for a couple of weeks, he was very disappointing when it mattered the most. T.Y. Hilton did his best to salvage the day with 150 yards and two scores, and Gronk and Lacy contributed 18 and 24.5 points respectively while Marshawn Lynch added 16.5. The rest of the supporting cast was just not good and that's not going to cut it against a loaded team like Eugene. For Alex, it still is a successful debut season. He's got legit keeper questions to answer (Gronk, Brees, Lynch, Lacy) next season, but to make the playoffs in your first year is definitely nothing to sneeze at. He'll have a solid start next season whichever guys he decides to keep. Unfortunately he'll be in the 5th place game now, while Eugene takes on Mayra in what many consider the real finals of the playoffs.

Matt FINALLY gets playoff win #1 and gets it pretty easily and Drew's plan for the easier matchup backfired. Injuries pretty much killed Drew's chances as not only did Andre Ellington not play, but Julius Thomas was active but didn't play, and Rashad Jennings barely played. Demaryius Thomas also came up pretty small with only 2 points. Matt got a great performance for him Big 3 as Jordy Nelson had 146 and two TD's for 30 points, Jamaal Charles had 24 points with 2 TD's and over 100 total yards, and Odell Beckham continues to be such a critical waiver wire pickup as he had 130 and a score. Add Big Ben's 350 yards and 3 passing TD's and it led to a comfortable win for Matt. The problem continues to be that RB #2 slot. T-Rich is AWFUL and isn't worthy of playing but Matt has no choice. That's gonna be a huge obstacle to overcome against Albert. Matt's gonna have to hope his players play like this again if he wants to have a shot at advancing to the finals. He'll take on Albert next. For Drew..it was worth the gamble...he would've lost to Alex had he not tanked. He'll at least have Demaryius Thomas and possibly Adrian Peterson next year. Demaryius at least is a solid guy to build your team around. Drew will take on Alex in the 5th place consolation game..though I doubt either of them care.
Game MVP
Jordy Nelson (Dr. Light's Robots)
8 Receptions, 146 receiving yards, 2 Receiving TD's, 30 Points
-I'm so pathetic, I can't even beat Kenny's shitty ass team so off to the 12th place game I go. Kenny takes on my dad next.
-Mark gets the bullshit win against Leland so he'll advance to the next round to face Ryan.
