Week 7 Recap!

Hey guys,

Week 7 is done.  Our first tie of the year occurred this week, Jake and Yuriy ended up with 149 a piece.  Great scores, but the same score.  We had the Gomez team drop 174 points this week, somehow catching Tannehill in his good week.  It was a pretty cool week, as all the high scoring teams played each other and all the low scoring teams duked it out also.  Russell Wilson once again proves that he's the best player in the game putting up 40 and breaking records.  Actually, this was a huge week for the NFL, quite a few records broken

• Peyton Manning broke the TD Pass record for a career, and Elway looks really smug like always.
• Russell Wilson becomes the first ever QB to pass for 300 + yards and run for 100 + yards.
• Demarco Murray is the first running back to rush for 7 straight games of 100 + yards in one season.
• Percy Harvin wins for most bye weeks in one season.

The Bills lost both of their running backs this week, Spiller for the season and FJax for a few weeks.  The Rams tricked the Seahawks a bunch of times and made them look like fools.  The Jaguars got their first win of the season, leaving only Oakland winless ( :( ).  The Bengals forget how to move the ball without the color green.  The 49ers give up 40 + points and everyone on the Broncos gets into it.

Despite all this though, it actually wasn't a particularly high scoring week.  Sure some teams look fantastic but overall there wasn't as many points to go around.

And finally half of our regular season is done.  Only 6 more games until playoff time.

Rivalry of the Week:

A Tie at 149 between Thomas Cobb and Demarius Derp! !

A rivalry dating back to twin day in high school, two tall blokes that play in the same division and are hard to get a hold of.  They're games haven't always been exactly competitive (Yuriy has had some bad... bad years), but they've been getting better and better as time goes on.  This year we have the battle of high points scored and a hard schedule, versus the good team with an easy schedule (I'll let you figure out which is which).  

These teams both had record breakers on them, in Yorke's corner was Peyton Manning, all time greatest forehead, and in Yedinak's corner was Demarco Murray, all time greatest injury risk.  Demarco Murray has been consistent, despite catching Ebola earlier in the week, he still had over 100 yards.  Peyton Manning also lit up the field, throwing a career high in TDs, but unfortunately he was throwing to Yuriy's hot receiver Demaryius (LOL DEMARIUS) Thomas.  Manning scored 36 and Thomas scored 37, so it was written. I would go further into details comparing the rest of these guys, but I figure it this way:  if any of the players had scored ever 1 more point, the game would have resulted in a win and loss.  So what difference does it make.  This tie keeps Jake atop his division and Yuriy in 3rd so overall it really was a win for Jake, even if it was a win in the most Middling of styles.

GAME OF THE WEEK:

(honestly it should be that same game, but because I don't like redundancy)

Freedom 35 beats Mary Kate and Greg Olsen 117-103

(Those can't be real glasses)

In a show of not wanting to look like an idiot for trading away two good players for whatever, Yaro's team came out and got a win because of the one that benefits from his traded player being out, Golden Tate. Hell, Golden Tate and Matthew Stafford put up about half the points from this team, and with the help of Kendall Wright and not much else he pulled off the win.

But what I really want to talk about is Kirk Cousins.  Kirk Cousins was the starting QB for Matt's team, and he showed to be the greatest of leaders, putting up 1 point and getting benched for Colt McCoy.  

This guy:

Benched for this guy:

I mean, what do I know?  My guess is that they decided that it was time for another Burke loss.  Or they wanted someone that would notice Pierre Garcon, the crazy french guy.  Simply put, when the TE position is your greatest strength it's hard to win when your QB decides it's time to take a job doing what a portable heater could do, bench warming.  As such Yaro came out with the victory, and a potential season of Megatron-less wins (probably not).

BOLD PREDICTIONS:

JARED'S PREDICTION:

"Payton throws 3 ints. Matt Ryan only throws for 175yds. And Carr comes back to earth with under 200yds and no tds."

Why do you hate me?  Do you want me to spend hours looking up stats?

Peyton didn't throw 3 ints, the 9ers are worse than that.

Matty Ice threw for 228, so a little under there.

Derek Carr came back to Earth for sure. 173 yards no TDs.  You got it.  Bastard.

OREST'S PREDICTION:

"I agree That Matt Ryan is going to have a horrible week AND The Jags will get their first win."

Super vague so even though you were completely right I can't give you the win.

Good call out on the Browns though!

ALEX'S PREDICTION:

"Colston goes 7rec/108yds/1TD. Bonus Prediction to spice things up within divison...I will defeat Valeriy Shishkin by more points than Eddie Lacy will have in fantasy this week"

6 receptions 111 yds no TDs.  Pretty damn close.  If Lacy would have scored 31 

everyone would have been amazed.  Keep calling these though, please.

NIC'S PREDICTION:

"75 yards for Murray, no TDs"

Last time I talk about any Cowboys players.

ALEX WINS FOR BEING MOST PRECISE.  COLSTON DID DO ALMOST THOSE EXACT STATS.
