Week 2: Smiles and Tears

Interesting split in the Standings after two weeks with 3x 2-0, 4x 1-1 and 3x 0-2 teams. Which means if you're a 0-2 team there is not much to worry about. Yet. And if you're a 2-0 team, look-out! And if you're playing the Farn's in Week 3, prepare to have your heart-broken. *checks W3 schedule... ahhh dammit!*

If you're interested in some amazing plays coming out of Week 2, this video is for you. At 2 minutes it's a great overview. Make sure you stick around to Number 1 and watch C. Newton own the field.

Save energy,
turn off your Lighties

Farnsworth's (147) turned of the Lighties (82)

Welcome to the big time, Farnell Farnsworth's! A buck 47 gave them a huge win over the Lighties, and the biggest score of the season to date. Fitzgerald put up the best active player numbers this week, and was well complemented by Beckham, and Free Agent pick-up Williams. The Farn's have played the Free-Agent market well this year after their rash drafting and then dropping of Kickers. Great come back! Ryan and Peterson showed up and the Kicker just sealed the deal. The Farn's still has two spare spots on the bench, fill em up!

What happened to the impressive Lighties from just one week ago? The Bolo-Tie of Power certainly left them this week. Two players with negative points - that could well be a League record (if anyone wants to look it up by trawling the archives).

Forces (77) def Breesus (68)

A real mixed bag for both teams with week. Great to see Peyton Manning have some big plays in the early game, posting 20 points for the General. On the other side, Mr Brees was injured and could be out for a few weeks. Breesless King of the Drews? Breesus takes a second injury hit this week with the TE, he's gone for 4-6 too. And a final blow, the big Free Agency pick of Dez Bryant probably won't pay off, with his 4 week injury looking more like a 10-12 week-er. Look for a mighty re-vamped Breesless team in Week 3. The General gets LeVeon Bell in Week 3 to prop up the RB stocks.

Marcy (82.8) def Zim (82.5)

Win, win, win...
Awwww crap no!
0.3?! Are you kidding me??

OUCH! 0.3 points were all separating these two this week. If memory serves, Zim lost by 0.05 or something like that a season or two ago? Looking at the graph Zim had a slight lead in the last game but the Defence must have given something up. Boo! Huge WTFs around the League regarding Sproles and Graham, two great playmakers being wasted by their teams in the first two weeks. And I think we can add Lynch to that too. Marcy sits in second place with a 2-0 record, only 2 more wins before she equals last years tally. With Antonio Brown beasting up the field and A-Rod as QB things are looking good for the Vampire Queen. Except, of course, Jeffrey and all three RBs. All 3? Seriously RBs, get your shit together!

BB (98) def Agent P (84)

BB also sits pretty with a 2-0 record lording over the League from the top of the Standings. A well rounded team effort, with no particular stand-outs, except for the Gronk. What a beast of a Tight End! BB takes a big hit with Tony Romo breaking his clavicle, as Zim mentioned in her earlier post. But BB is carrying Roethlisberger on the bench and so won't miss a beat. Agent P placed her faith in Luck who let everyone down, including his coach who took a swipe at him in the post-game conference. Things are not good in Indy this year. But, a word of advice from Marcy, be wary of QB's called C. Newton. Once you start that QB Carousel there is no getting off. Unless Cam has the Bolo-Tie of Power now? And the video I posted above suggests maybe he does. Crazy, also, to see 30 of Agent P's points come from two Jets players. Go Jets!

Doof (90) def Endless (65)

Endless suffered from her RB's having a case of injuries and drops this week. Lacey went off injured and Hill was dragged for sucking. Her WR Cooks and TE Donnell suffered because their teams, New Orleans Saints and NY Giants, are terrible. But, look for Lacey to bounce back next week. And well done for managing the known injuries, with Jackson and Gurley left safely on the bench where they can't hurt anyone. Like Zim, Chipmunk Kelly tried his hardest to screw me over this week with Agholor and Murray barely showing up. Screw you Kelly! Last year Murray ran for over 100 yards in 14 games. This year: 11 yards on 21 attempts in the two games. WTF? Stafford and Megatron managed a few points but are looking shifty. Tucker and Cardinals D FTW! *sigh* As we say in the sports journalism industry to which I am currently engaged: let's look towards the Week 3.
