Week 2 edition of FF weekly, another great weekend of NFL action, the lady was out of town so that means I was inebriated the entire weekend and spent a hungover Sunday watching the Bears/Steelers because the television nazis didn’t televise Broncos/Browns.
Speaking of the Broncos, they move to 2-0, which could be a matt dabbs style mirage, but at least they are beating inferior competition. Kyle Orton turned in a top 5 QB performance according to football outsiders, including a great finish which saw the neckbeard’s last seven attempts go for six completions for 134 yards and five first downs. With his two-yard touchdown to TE Tony Schefftler, Orton improved his TD to INT ratio within the redzone to 23:2. The Broncos are also among the best in the league at the tip drill… but enough Broncos glorification for one day…
The Bears had a bounce back win against the Steelers, but needed two missed Jeff Reid field goals, and Santonio Holmes left about 70-80 yards in catches on the field with drops and slips, including a likely game-winning TD. Jeff Reed’s face was priceless.Also, 5th rounder Johnny Knox is officially a draft day steal, check out his profile on draftguys TV located here, its good stuff : http://draftguys.com/index.php/articles/dgtv_1/johnny_knox_-_wr_-_abilene_christian/
I’m thrilled the Giants ruined the Cowboys opener; I particularly loved the part when Jerry Jone's massive replay screen showed a ball bounce off Jason Witten’s foot and into the arms of Kenny Phillips for one of three Romo INTs.

Weekly Recap
Game of the Week – Wolfy (104) over CO (93) – Dogmeat bounces back after a tough loss to the redhead in week one, I think at one point this game was 90 to 30 but then Peyton Manning and Ronnie Brown happened. Wolfy also won the battle of the Steve Smith’s, as Steve Smith of the NYG put up 21 points, while Steve Smith of Carolina only produced 13. Inexplicably, the Titans defense still contributed 1 fantasy point for Wolfy after being eviscerated by the Texans.
Dabbsie (120) over Atkins (96) – Dabbsie starts 2-0? Apparently the world is coming to an end soon, please review your duck and cover protocols in case of a nuclear event. But seriously, Dabbsie started McNabb who was clearly not going to play, as well as Fatdale White, the two combined for a grand total of 2 points. I’m not sure if Atkins is still alive, If he is he probably lives in a cat urine soaked house and works at Family Video, but if your life sucks that much at least try to have some dignity in fantasy football.
Brooks (159) over Jack (95) – Brooks had several players blow up including Andre Johnson, V.Jax, and Dallas Clark, as well as a standard Drew Brees day of 25 points, giving him the highest score of the year so far. Jack got an ‘average’ 15 point day from Adrian Peterson instead of a ridiculous, ‘I’m going to knock down every single one of your defenders on my way to the endzone’ type days, which wasn’t enough to best Brooks.
Dog of the week J Dub (124) over Jake (76) – I’m on the other side of the dog of the week this time around, while despite getting inexplicable goose eggs from both Greg Jennings and Zach Miller, I still cashed in for the second highest score of the week on the back of a ridiculous day for Chris Johnson, scoring over 50 fantasy points. CJ was the lucky recipient of the Texans Defense’s contractually bound obligation to leave one player ridiculously wide-open during the course of the game (Last week it was Chauncy Stucky, who will it be next week?)

Matt Dabbs Coaching Blunders of the Week
Jack – For playing Thomas Jones (5.3) against the Pats over Darren Sproles (23) against the Ravens. I had this exact same call to make in a different league and thought Sproles was the easy choice, neither back was going to find running room but Sproles was going to get a lot passes, and if someone was going to catch passes out of the backfield for the Jets, it wasn’t going to be Thomas Jones… bad call Asian.
Brooks – For playing Matt Forte (5.2) over Ryan Grant (10.8) – This one was pretty simple, Grant had the Bangles and Forte had the Steelers, and nobody runs the ball on the Steelers! Also Cutler won’t throw to the RBs as much as ‘captain checkdown’ Kyle Orton did, so Forte’s not the #1 option in the passing game anymore. 2 Weeks in a row on the coaching blunders list Brooks! Let’s see if you can make it three…
Non-Miller Lite Good Calls of the Week
Jake – Brett Favre (14.2) over Tom Brady (7/8) / Tony Romo (12.3) – I guess Jake had respect for the Jets defense, sitting Brady is a bold move, even if Favre did have the hapless Lions, good call Jake.
CO – Willis McGahee (20.9) over Brandon Jacobs (5.8) – Wow what a call, but I’m thinking you somehow lucked into this one, I don’t really see the rationale in choosing McGahee here unless you were really scared of the Cowboys defense in their new palace, but good job CO, however this decision is marred by the fact you lost to Wolfy.
Stay Classy Bitches,
