Week 10 Recap

Three weeks left and much to be decided.  Parity is awesome (don't listen to Hill).

Chris Hill picked a bad time to play down to his competition falling out of bye position and into third.  Hill's team looked good on paper but took the match for granted and put no effort into this game.  Lizards at Wes Welker's legs, so he was ineffective.  Dez Bryant is a locker room cancer (sports radio taught me that) and Jake Locker sucked, then got hurt, and then sucked even more.  But he gets fake Jimmy Graham back this week, so maybe he can move back up.  Even worse, Mike James NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brown keeps his playoff hopes alive being 2 out with 3 to play.  He is 50 points behind Scott so he pretty much needs to win out and have either Balls Deep or Lacy in your Facey lose out.  With a roster that boasts Harry Douglas and Greg Jennings, I think he can pull it off.

Oh boy, Bry falls back to the pack and out of first place with a pretty miserable performance.  His QBs got him a whopping 12 points total.  In most weeks, that won't be an issue, but this was especially tough matchups for them.  The good news is AP, MJD and Sproles all produced and put him a good place with RBs.  A good team with a bad week.

Mike's big win puts him squarely into the playoffs, being two games up on the 7th place team, The Holo What?.  Not sure if you can count on Pierre Thomas every week, but he made up for off weeks from Keenan Allen and Andy Dalton.

We have a new first place team with everything breaking right for Hemrick.  TY Hilton is now #1 in Indy with Wayne hurt.  That on top of all the Broncos and Lions on his team and he's in good shape.  Those offenses are hard to contain.   Not much else to say really.  He has two teams that fill up 6 of 8 real spots.  I guess he could use a better QB2, but the Lions and Broncos score a million points every week.  So this is going to be tough.

James didn't get that 21 points he needed from Hartline or Wallace and sunk all the way down to 8th place, one game up on 10th place.  He's in big trouble.  He maybe should think about making a big move.  Maybe a WR for a Drew Brees?  Just something to think about.

In any other week this would've been the most pathetic matchup, but they can thank Hill and Brown for hooking them up with that.   Lacy in Your Facey is lucky to win this with a shitty score.  Had they lost, they'd be in 6th place, only by points, with James and Joe tied, and Brown and myself one game back. Both of these teams are still in trouble, but now Scott more so.  Scott's team has fallen off a cliff, with Kaepernick sucking a dick for the whole year basically, and his WRs are hit and miss.  Scott is trade averse so what you see is what you get.  Seems very catchable to me.

Both these teams need to win next week, but Lacy is getting some reinforcements off the bye in Josh Gordon, Amendola, and Ridley.  Off week for them, but still a pretty strong team, except for their QBs.  They stink.

Not quite dead yet, as the Commish's luck is starting to turn.  Let's consider for a moment, all the things that went right for me to win this game.  Peyton Manning scored 34 points and threw 4 TDs, but 3 of them were to the only Bronco on my team, D Thomas.  AJ Green caught a hail mary that was tipped twice and added 12 points to my score.  Garret Hartley missed a FG inside 40 yards, giving Joe -3.  And the Dallas defense put up a goose egg.  And still BEWARE THE STAT CORRECTION.  I can't count this win until Thursday afternoon.  But if I did count this win I'd be 2 back of Lacy In Your Facey and Balls Deep with 3 to play.  And wouldn't you know it, I play Lacy In Your Facey this week!

Just to pile on the bad luck, Joe had the 4th highest point total this week and the 2nd highest last week and lost both weeks.  He's only one game back with three to play and holds the tie break over Balls Deep, and could catch Lacy In Your Facey in points as well.  Hang in there Joe.
