BIFL - Week 2 Review C

Don't sleep on Reviews Part A & B.

Chip Lohmiller (96) defeats Juse and the Argonauts (95)
Damn, this was a tight one. Both teams played hard, but it really is a shame that Dekker won because Juse's attack was far more balanced. Trent Edwards, Steven Jackson, Darren McFadden, Chad Ochocinco, and Dwayne Bowe were all between 11 and 19 points. This may be one of the best Argonauts teams we've seen in ages, although I admit that has has little to no meaning. But if those Argos had just gotten one more extra point out of Jason Elam (4), or anything at all out of Zach Miller (0), who was so good in Week 1, they would have pulled off a victory. But alas, they did not. Dekker's scoring was not nearly as balanced, but who needs balance when you've got Matt Schaub? Overcoming lame-ish performances from Ray Rice (7) and Reggie Wayne (3), Schaub went nuts against the Titans (who apparently aren't so hot defensively anymore without Albert Haynesworth) to the tune of 34 points. The only other notable outings by the Lohmillers were kicker John Carney (12) and Percy Harvin (11). Harvin, like DeSean Jackson last year, is seemingly out to prove that rookie receivers can be productive if you find creative ways to put the ball in their hands.

I'm Here for the Gangbang (93) defeats Merriman's Bitch-Chokers (80)
It's still mind-boggling to me that Shoaf's team is named after Shawne Merriman despite the fact that he doesn't have Merriman on his team. This would be like if I had been named Santonio's Blunts last year instead of Dois. It just doesn't make any sense. Commish, can we make a rule about this? Anyways, Shoaf got what he deserved this week, and it came in the form of Frank Gore. I've always liked Frank Gore, and I was disappointed not to get him on any of my teams this year. I'm glad he ended up on the Gangbang, though, since traditionally that has been the BIFL team besides my own that I have given the strongest support. Chuck didn't need my backing this week, though, since Gore's 43-point day put him pretty much out of reach. It's a good thing he did, too, because other than Matt Ryan (18), the rest of the Gangbangers were pretty much all just groping around in the dark. The Bitch-Chokers' receivers showed similar futility, combining for 0 points. It's always nice to get imaginary numbers into fantasy football; thanks, Donnie Avery (-2). Peyton Manning (26) was strong, but Adrian Peterson (15) failed to tear up the Lions like we all expected, so the Bitch-Chokers fell short of making this one a contest.

P&P's this weekend. See y'all then.
