Week 6 Re-insults

Just like in the NFL, our league has formed a top tier. In fact our league is actually beginning to form a separation of talent. As one GM stated early last week...

"Our league has turned into the 'Have' and the 'Have Nots'"

Yes, yes it has. As it stands - there are only four teams that have winning records. ONLY FOUR!!!

Two of those teams stand undefeated and two of those teams only have one loss. Everyone else in the league currently sits at .500 or below. It must not be fun if you are apart of the "Have Nots!" Why don't we talk about a few things those "Have Nots" can do to better their chances...

1. Trade - Seems obvious, but many decide not to explore the trade block. Find a way to turn your stud players into players that can fill your other positions of need.

2. Patience - The same teams cannot win every week. They will lose eventually, it happens every season - more than likely your team has the ability to have big weeks and explode for huge points.

3. Matchups - Many of the teams have multiple fringe players that could have a huge week, but it comes down to reading the matchups. Find the matchups between NFL teams that lack defense, and play those players.

4. Luck - Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You make the right call, but once you make the call it is out of your hands. Exhibit A - Bears Defense against Brock Osweiler scored -1 this week.

5. Pay the Commissioner - Just saying...

Prible is My B*tch (3-3) v White Condomints (5-1)

This was the week for night game comebacks. The matchup score before Sunday Night Football was...

White Condomints - 81.1
Prible is my B*tch - 125.7

That is a deficit of 44.6 points - have no fear... Hunt and Butker are here!! Kareem Hunt had a huge game, 80 yards rushing and 105 yards receiving. Harrison Butker made four field goals and four extra points. After that, this is all she wrote - WC didn't even need Kittle to play on MNF!

Overall, not a bad week for PIMB. If only Jones could catch a few touchdowns here or there. It is amazing how good he is, but yet always fails to snag a touchdown. The "X" factor for this team is Boyd. He gives this team a solid FLEX play, or replacement for bye-week replacements at the wide receiver position.

Result: White Condomints wins...RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Prible is my B*tch....WRONG!!

Hernandez Hit Men (6-0) v Team Dez Nuts (2-4)

This was a bit surprising, not necessarily the outcome - more the scores. Both teams scored well below their average in points per week... HHM fell short by 17 points and Dez Nuts fell short by 28 points.

Nonetheless, the result is what was a expected - the team to beat comes out on top, many thanks to Melvin Gordon and his explosion of points against a decent run defense in Cleveland. What is more amazing to me, every player (with the exception of Gordon) on HHM was on a losing team - yet somehow his team came out on top???

Dez Nuts can be scratching his head after this one. No points from his kicker and -1 from the Jags defense. JuJu turned in another stellar performance, as well as Luck - solid foundation in a losing effort for what might end up being the worst team in the NFL. If Dez Nut's wants to change his fortunes, he needs a little more out of Gronk and Kelce - or he needs to trade one of them, but which one? And to whom? The world may never know....

Result: Hernandez Hit Men wins....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men wins....RIGHT!!

Hoosier Daddy (3-3) v I AM STUPID (3-3)

Well, if you are going to lose - you might as well lose big! Unfortunately (or fortunately) it was not the absolute worst, that honor still remains Coach Morgan and his Aaron Rodgers is GAY squad.

With only one player breaking the 10 point barrier, this was a disaster from the beginning. It didn't help that Michael Thomas was on a bye week. This will not always be the case, it was just a matter of multiple bad weeks coming together and happening at the same time. Honestly, I would prefer this to happen - rather spread out the bad weeks, just have it all happen at once.

On the flip side, Gurley might be a demigod. A literal demigod. He is like Cam Newton playing in a pee-wee football....

Yeah, it is that easy for Gurley. Hoosier Daddy is a dangerous team with Gurley in the line-up, that is one position that he no longer has to worry about - and Gurley scores enough for a few other positions. This is one team that is primed to take-out a top dog, and I am ready to see that matchup!

Result: Hoosier Daddy...RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: I AM STUPID...WRONG!!

The J-Bones (3-3) v The Trashmen (2-4)

Wah-wah-wee-wah - not a good Monday night game for The J-Bones, but only because it was an extremely good game for The Trashmen!!

Going into MNF The Trashmen were down 133.7 to 88.2 - all but written off and done for. Then Davante Adams entered the building...

Adams had a huge game and was complimented by "Good as Gould" to comeback from behind and possibly stage the biggest comeback this season. A real heartache for The J-Bones!

Result: The Trashmen win....WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: The Trashmen win.... RIGHT!!

UrBlogIsWeak SucItAtkins (2-4) v Col. Erran Morad (1-5)

This was a huge week for UrBlogIsWeak - hhhhuuuuugggeee! He can really thank his defense and kicker - who both scored in the 20's - it wouldn't have mattered, but it's like you can give them back and save them for the next week. Also, complimented with good performances from Rodgers and Jeffery and Sanders. This week UrBlogIsWeak scored 5 positions in the 20's - too bad Cooper couldn't join the scoring frenzy, otherwise you might have joined the record book!

Nobody can fault Col. Morad for playing the Bears defense - what in the world happened?!? That won't be the case on a normal week! Winston is a huge addition if he can keep up this type performance. It is very interesting to see what the Chicago Bears are going to do with Jordan Howard - maybe continue to give him the ball in overtime as he continued to rip-off 10-15 yard runs. But hey, why do that when you have Benny Cunningham?

Result: UrBlogIsWeak SucItAtkins wins...WRONG!!
Competitor's Prediction: Col. Erran Morad...WRONG!!

Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood (5-1) v Sagging TD's (1-5)

This is getting harder and harder to watch. I am really beginning to feel bad for Sagging TD's - like genuinely bad.

On the bright side, he does get to join the Bluffton Bombshell Record books, placing him at the new number four for lowest points scored in a week. It does hurt to say that, because we were doing so well as a league, and then this week we place two new scores in the record book for lowest points scored. It didn't help that Sagging decided not play a TE this week....

THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL LEAGUE MEMBERS - IF YOU PLAY A PLAYER ON A BYE WEEK AND LOSE - YOU WILL FORFEIT YOUR SPOT IN THE LEAGUE!!!

Sagging TD's this is only a warning, don't let it happen again!! Especially considering you have a few players on your bench that you could definitely drop in order to fill a role, not that it would have helped - it is just a bad look.

On the flip side, Mr. Rodgers continues to rack up the victories. It will be interesting to see what happens with Cooper Kupp and his injury. He tried to play, but the tackle looked gruesome and he was carted off - so who knows!

Result: Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood wins....RIGHT!!

Competitor's Prediction: Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood wins....RIGHT!!

Matchup of the Week

Mike McCarthy is GAY (0-6) v Steady Diet (6-0)

Talk about a great matchup!! Let's just break this down...

After the one o'clock games...
MMIG - 102.4 points
Steady - 82.1 points

After the four o'clock games...
MMIG - 110.4 points
Steady - 93.1 points

After the night game....
MMIG - 132.2
Steady - 132.3

Doesn't sound that absurd right?

Well, let's not forget how that game ended - a game winning field goal? Nope, go back one more play. A Tom Brady kneel down. Yup, that is -.1 for Brady...

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT - MMIG LOSES ON A KNEEL DOWN!!!

There comes a point in time when you have to start thinking that this is a season of destiny for Steady Diet. There is always one player that has a huge week and somehow they squeak out the win. Unlucky for MMIG, but what do you do?

Result: Steady Diet wins....RIGHT!!
Competitor's Prediction: Steady Diet wins...RIGHT!!

Overall Record: 23-12
Competitor's Record: 21-14
