Cleveland Browns
Cincinnati Bengals
Indianapolis Colts
Los Angeles Chargers
Chicago Bears
New York Giants (they still play tonight)
San Francisco 49ers
All these teams are bad. All these teams are not just bad - they look bad. They do not pass the eye test of a football team that could turn it around. Smart money would not be on them to make the playoffs.
In fact, since 2007 only 9 teams have started off 0-2 and made the playoffs. So, the odds are clearly not in their favor - Hunger Games, anyone? anyone?
Now, in fantasy football they don't keep those kinds of stats. CBS Sports states that they have dug deep into some random abyss of data and found that only 10 percent of fantasy teams that start 0-2 make the playoffs. A high majority of those teams had players they drafted that were suspended at the beginning of the season. I am sorry CBS - but in no way do I believe you actually found these stats. I think you just looked at the NFL and just applied that same thought process to fantasy football.
You my friend - CBS Sports - you are a liar!
With that being said - if you do start off 0-2 in fantasy it never a good thing for your playoff chances. Usually you need to win games to make the playoff - but only usually.
To the match-ups:
Juan Fatt Bidge vs Aaron Rodgers is Gay
Hoosier Daddy vs J-Bones
Team Price is a D*ck vs Dakster's Lab
Mizuno Blue vs BringBack Harbs
Sagging TD's vs Sergio Dippsh*ts - Matchup of the Week
I miss Tyler vs Waco Kids
John Robles vs Certified "G"
Juan Fatt Bidge (0-1) vs Aaron Rodgers is Gay (1-0)
Do you remember when I predicted that Walker would have a touchdown and outperform Reed? Yeah, that happened. Do you remember when I said that Gillislee will not score three times? Yeah, that happened. Do you remember when I said that JFB would beat ARIG? Yeah, that did not happen.
Seriously, who would have guessed that CrabAppleTree scores 3 touchdowns and goes crazy? Who would have guess that the Bills vs. Panthers game ends at 9-3? I guess that means McCoy and Newton aren't scoring that well. It was a mixed bag of bad luck and big time scoring that really just screwed over JFB. Good win for AARIG as he now goes 2-0 and is looking strong for a run to the playoffs. JFB needs to really turn this ship around or he might be writing about the playoffs instead of partaking in them.
Original Prediction: JFB beats ARIG by 15 - boy, was that wrong!!
Hoosier Daddy (0-1) vs J-Bones (1-0)
If you followed the scoring to this game throughout Sunday, it looked like J-Bones was going to lose and lose by quite a few. J-bones had a huge night from both Freeman and Montgomery - both played in the Sunday night game. Just think about the pit in the bottom of Hoosier Daddy's stomach right now - he has played the top scorer each week. Not only that, but he has finished in the top 4 scoring both weeks. He has a bonafide stud at running back in Hunt. Hoosier Daddy should be able to ride Hunt all the way to scoring top 4 in points and still losing every week from here on out!
Sorry buddy - nothing you can really do about that!
Original Prediction: Hoosier Daddy beats J-Bones by 7 - yup, got that one wrong too!
Team Price is a D*ck (0-1) vs Dakster's Lab (1-0)
Remember when I said that Dak is like that lady at a bar that you think looks good - but as you get closer, she begins to drop on the "hot or not" scale? I still stand by that. Especially, if Howard is going to miss some games. On the plus side, Adams does look like a lot better with the injury to Nelson.
There was no big time point getter for Price is a D - but just pretty consistent showings throughout. It really all comes down to Riddick and if he can put up some points or not. Many people will say that the Giants defense (which is a run stopping defense) will hold him to under 50 yards rushing. I 100% agree. However, this is a PPR league and look for Riddick to get 6 or 7 catches for 40+ yards.
Original Prediction: Price is a D beats Dak by 15 points.... come on Riddick, make me look good!
Mizuno Blues (1-0) vs BringBack Harbs (1-0)
Last week Mizuno lost David Johnson and Allen Robinson, this week he lost Greg Olsen - if I were a player on this man's team I would request a trade right now!
Mizuno still put up some nice points with those replacement players. He did make a trade (one that was in his favor) and those players lead the way for him! Landry had a huge game, 13 receptions!! With a game like that you don't even need to get into the end zone! Mizuno also made a phone call to Matt Ryan before the game and he told to avoid throwing a touchdown ball to Jones. Luckily, Ryan checked his voicemail before the game and he complied. It is good to know people, huh Mizuno!?!
Original Prediction: Harbs beats Mizuno by 15 - Stafford is going to make me look so smart, everyone just watch it tonight!
I Miss Tyler (0-1) vs Waco Kids (0-1)
It was just simply not a good week for Miss Tyler. Elliott must still be thinking about that time that he hit his ex-girlfriend. Powell is very underwhelming in a game when the Jets actually looked like they could move the ball. Green really needs to find a quarterback period. I felt like I had to physically write the word "period" there so you can see the emphasis on that statement.
Waco has himself a group of players who could all put-up big games at anytime. Gurley has returned from his vacation that took up all of last year. Kelce is a freak of nature - literally a freak of nature. I will say this, the Chiefs are quickly becoming my favorite to watch. Did you see this on Sunday?
Original Prediction: I miss Tyler beats Waco Kids by 15 points - I could not have been more wrong!
John Robles (1-0) vs Certified "G" (0-1)
It is crazy to think that a 30 point outburst from Brady is still not enough to get a win against a team that scored 65 points last week! There is something to be said about losing in week 1 and getting the top pick in the waiver wire. Cohen looks more and more like the stud in Chicago and with Howard going down, this could be the award winning pickup of the year! Plus, 16 points from a kicker always helps. Don't say I didn't warn everyone about Murray and how he will start losing touches to Henry. Henry might be the one good running back to come out of Alabama - about friggin' time!
Original Prediction: Certified "G" beats John Robles by 2 points - I will take the win!
Sagging TD's (1-0) vs Sergio Dippsh*t (1-0)
Match-up of the Week
Sooooo - remember when last week the matchup of the week lived up to the hype? Yeah, not so much this week. Hey, wait a second this is not over! Yeah, you are right - one team has a kicker left and the other has Marshall. It is just hard to actually say anything nice about one of these two teams - especially when one of them is going to win and more than likely will not break 100! One of these teams is going to go 2-0, while Hoosier Daddy goes 0-2! Only in fantasy, man, only in fantasy!
Original Prediction: Sergio takes down Sagging by 10 points - Eli, do I need to call you? Throw it to your boy Marshall and make me look good, puh-lease!!
Oh, how the Monday Morning Blues are so, so sweet!
Mwah
