Week 7 Recap

Crapped Out
The bad luck continues for the Nuggets. Going into the game with no options at QB, Romo’s decision to end his consecutive games played streak proved to be the difference. Despite a well balanced attack and 4 guys in double digits, they came up 8pts short, which would’ve been reachable had they been able to aquire Kyle Orton. The Toast on the other hand, are now running on a 4 game winning streak after their 0-3 start and have battled back into a 3-way tie for 2nd place in the East. Led by runaway train Brandon Jacobs they continue their top dog spot in the power rankings and would’ve reached triple digits again had they realized Philly was on a bye this week.


Carson City suffering from too much Beaver
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the team with the best record in the league through 7 weeks, YOUR Boston Beeeeevers! Who the hell would’ve predicted this one? With the most solid performance to date the Beavers have turned into a powerhouse, sporting 5 players in double digits and scoring a whopping 67 offensive points. Congratulations as well to Ben Watson for finally tallying his first points of the season in his 7th start. Carson City had no shot in this one, already dealing with Michael Turner’s bye week and going without an active kicker, they had to watch their #1 ranked offense lay a stink bomb at the hands of Payton Manning. Their faint Monday Night hopes were dashed quickly when Randy Moss decided to use Champ Bailey as his personal bitch, breaking out with 2 TD’s and his best game of the season.

Monster Mash – Ghetto Remix
Heavily favored Cal City went into Compton looking for an easy win against the beaten up Kings. They did manage to rattle Favre into a 0pt performance and rack up 65pts on the defensive end, however, their putrid offensive output was the difference. Drew Brees’ day wasn’t much better than Favre’s and the San Diego runningback combo proved to be a bad call, producing just 4pts combined. No player on the Gila offense managed to score more than 5pts. Compton’s acquisitions helped cement the victory with Dominic Rhodes matching the Gilas total offensive output and the return of Bernard Berrian leading the offensive attack. Despite the perceived notion that Compton is an awful place to visit, this marks just the first home victory for the Kings this year.


Burnin’ Butts
Apparently the Monee offense missed the team flight, or were left wandering the desert on the way to the game, as the Monkey Butts failed to field an active QB and kicker against Tempe. Offensive leader, Adrian Peterson, accidentally packed teammate Plaxico Burress’ jersey rather than his own for the trip, forcing game officials to eject him prior to the start of the game for impersonating a disgruntled wide receiver. Running 3 men short on offense all game, Monee struggled to score points which ultimately led to its demise, hitting an all-time low 59 total points. Despite not reaching 80pts and starting 2 men who scored 0, Tempe cruised to its 4th win and sole possession of 1st place in the Western Conference.
