Semi-Finals: Wash-up

Just when you think you have a handle on things Week 15 happens and completely blows your mind. The Cowboys trump the Eagles, the Seahawks dominate the 49ers, the Cardinals, playing with a million injuries, kill the Rams, Johhny Footbal is FAIL (ok, everyone that isn't  journalist predicted that one), the Packers play their worst game forever... on and on. So bizarre. Which of course leads to...

Breesus King of the Drews (116) def Doof's Playinators (61)

Difficult to write this one up this week, but not as hard as three weeks ago when my team actually played well. This week Breesus did well, I just sucked. Sucked so hard. This may be the suckiest team that ever sucked. It started at the top, Rodgers played his worst game for years. And no one else bothered either. What a mess. Thanks to the ever helpful Fantasy Recap that says Breesus has now beaten me 3-0 this season and 5-0 in two seasons. And also that I was 'clobbered', 'pulverised', and that I was 'sent home quickly' from the play-offs. The Recap can really kick you when you're down.

Beckham, kicking ass and chewing bubble gum

For Breesus, Drew Brees played well on the road again, 27 points against the Bears. Murray again had a great game (and is so great to watch) and Odell Beckham continues to press for Rookie of the Year. Murray did break his hand and after surgery on Monday is questionable for the Championship. Can Breesus win without Murray?


Breesus goes on to defend his 2013 Championship, and with his record to date it is had to argue that he does not belong in the Championship game.  Two losses, one to Zim and the other to BB. And his opponent will be...

Zim's Doomydooms (111) def Agent P (74)

Zim wins and heads to the Championship game. One versus Two. Could it be better? (Sure, if your name isn't Breesus or Zim!).

Agent P tried to compete for suckiest team but lost that to me. Demarius Thomas managed to put up 18 and everyone else... what the hell happened this week? Julio Jones was pulled out with injury, what was Rivers excuse (this week)? McCoy and Blount? Hilton? Anyone?

GRONK!

On the other side, Zim's score sheet looks so similar to Breesus's. Solid performers all round with, surprisingly, Alex Smith topping the scoring with 21. Lynch and Ingram can have quiet days and still go for 26 between them, double the score of both Agent P's and my quiet-day-RBs. Crazy.

In more crazy news, Agent P and Doof will face off next week in the Consolation final, a redux from last year. In 2013 I won that game and Breesus won the Championship. Anyone willing to pick a winner for 2014?

BB (74) def Lighties (73)

Close game here with BB narrowly taking the points. The Lighties highest scorer, by a lot, was the defence. For BB, the Texans D was just pipped for most points by QB Roethlisberger who put up 14.

Endless (102) def US Forces (47)

Maybe the General takes the dubious honour of suckiest team of this week with 47 points with the Dolphins defense scoring minus 2 and Luck scoring a measly 15 (which is good if you aren't Andrew Luck). Endless, meanwhile, had another great late-season game with Bell and Bryant leading the way.
