The Week In Review

The Week in Review…
Well, well, well once in a season is a fluke, twice in a season is awesome and that is what is Adrian Peterson, the Viking rookie is, simply awesome! The performance he had today was unbelievable; 296 yards and 3 TD’s against the Chargers. All I can say is WOW! I am sure if you were like me and faced AP you went down in flames this week as that is a big time performance. In a year when we are talking about QB’s and WR’s quite often the three of the top four scorers were RB’s as Jamal Lewis and Addai both had big days. As we head to week 10 there are only 5 more games left this season so it is gut check time in the fantasy world and injuries are playing a major factor as LJ went down, Ocho Cinco left on a stretcher, Henry, Cutler & Norwood are all banged up as well.
Now on to the games…
The Games:
Pats 24 @ Colts 20
The game was billed as “the real superbowl” and it did not disappoint the viewers and from a fantasy perspective as Mr. Brady threw for 3 TD’s one each to Moss, Welker and Faulk. Peyton ran for 1 and threw for another and Addai ran for a hundred and turned a screen pass into a long touchdown. Wayne, Clark and Stallworth had below average days but at least Wayne and Clark will bounce back as well as we should see the return of Mr. Harrison next week.
Bolts 17 @ Vikings 35
Wow what a performance by the team that resides in the land of many lakes. The Vikings proceeded to run all over the Bolts as AP ran for 3 and 296, Chester got 60 and a score as well. It is quite an impressive performance by the O-line and RB’s as teams know the Vikings are going to run and yet they still can which is simply awesome. LT found the end zone but that was all for the Chargers from a fantasy perspective as Gates, Chambers and Rivers disappointed many fantasy owners by getting shut down by the worst pass defense in football.
The Pack 33 @ Chiefs 22
Brett Favre is putting together a season to remember as he led to the Pack to victory while throwing for 360 yards and two scores as well. The recipient of the old man’s generosity was Mr. Jennings who caught them both one of which went for 60 yards. LJ was on a roll in this game until he turned an ankle and did not return but did find the end zone twice before he took his seat on the bench. Let’s hope LJ is ok as he looked like he was returning to form.

Broncos 7 @ Detroit’s Finest 44
The Lions pounded on the Broncos who lost Cutler early in the game and then Travis Henry a little later. The defense of the Lions scored twice and Kitna threw for two more; one to McDonald and the other to Furrey. All the Broncos disappointed today and things are looking gloomy in Denver.
Bungles 22 @ Bills 33
Folks, the Bungles are really bad and this week the Bills got their chance and did not disappoint. We can officially welcome back Lee Evans 9 balls for 165 yards and a TD but the real star was the other stud rookie running back Marshawn Lynch who ran for one, threw for another and scampered for over 150 yards as well. The Bungles and Carlson Palmer are reeling but Carlson did throw for 2 TD’s one to “The Housh” who is lone bright spot on this year’s squad.
49ers 16 @ Falcons 20
The Falcons won the battle of the really bad teams as neither squad to move the ball with any consistency, though the Falcons found a bit of a running game as Mr. Dunn ran for a c-note and a score. The 49ers continue to struggle and without Frank Gore there was no balance to their attack and were under constant pressure from the Falcons “D”.
Panthers 7 @ Remember The Titans 20
Lindale White scored the hat trick and ran for the century mark for third straight game and found the end zone as well. The Panthers could do nothing against the vaunted defense from Tennessee as the Titans sacked Mr. Carr 7 times and intercepted him once and for those who have them on their roster make sure to hang on to them.
Cardinals 10 @ Bucs 17
The Bucs D brought their A game to this one as they shut down the running game of the Cardinals completely though Edge did find the end zone. Jeff Garcia and Joey Galloway hooked up for a score but the story for the Bucs was Earnest Graham who ran for more then a 100 and found the end zone as well.
Skins 23 @ The Jets 20 in OT
Clinton Portis literally put the Skins on his back and he led them to a comeback victory against the Jets by carrying the ball 36 times for a 196 yards and found the land of milk and honey once along the way. All the other scoring for the Skins were done by their kicker Suisham who put it through the uprights 5 times including the game winner in OT. The new QB of the Jets Mr. Kellen Clemens did no better then the hanging Chad as he could only lead the team to one score on the day. At least New Yorkers still have the Giants to be excited about.
Jags 24 @ The Saints 41
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints look like they have found their mojo as they lit up the Jaguars whose defense has been playing quite well. Drew put the ball up in the air 49 times gaining 445 yards and three TD’s one each to Patten, Moore and Mr. Bush who also ran one in as well. Quinn Gray threw for 2 TD’s a long one to Reggie Williams and one to Dennis Northcut. The Jags running game was non-existent as they were playing from behind most of the game and were forced to throw more then they like.
Seahawks 30 @ Browns 33 (OT)
The second overtime game of the day was a high scoring affair as the crowd in Cleveland was certainly entertained by the offensive show. The Browns came out the victors and used the pass to get down the field but each time they got close they handed the ball of to Jamal Lewis who found pay dirt 4 times yet only managed to gain 37 yards on the day. The rest of the Browns certainly put up a lot of yards as Anderson threw for 364 yards a buck twenty-five went to Mr. Winslow and another 67 went Braylons’ way. The Seahawks on the other hand were led by Matt Hasselback who threw for 2 TD’s one to Bobby Engram and the other to a healthy DJ Hackett who has been on the sidelines all season.
Texans 24 @ Raiders 17
The Texans were without their starting QB and their #1 WR, yet they found a way to win today behind the legs of former Heisman trophy winner Ron Dayne who rushed for 122 yards and a score after replacing Ahman Green yet again who gave it a go and found the end zone as well. Sage Rosenfels peformed admirably finding Andre Davis for a score right after the Raiders had cut the lead to 7 in the 4th quarter. Justin Fargas was the lone bright spot for the Raiders carrying the rock 23 times for over a 100 yards and a score. It will be interesting to see who gets the majority of the carries for the Raiders moving forward as Lamont was healthy but only carried the ball 4 times and caught two balls out of the backfield for no impact whatsoever.
