Drew Brees had his typical stellar day, but who would have predicted 300+ and a TD for Chris Redman? As nice as the passing game was, who else was disappointed with the running game on both sides? Pierre Thomas was limited (althought had 100+ combined) and Jason Snelling too was limited, but threw in a TD, and the 100 combined number. And with all those yards flying around, there weren't any outstanding receivers, but a bunch that did nice. Reggie Bush did have to receiving TDs, but Robert Meachem fans were a bit disappointed with his 4-57.
Detroit v Baltimore
No surprises here. Outstanding game for Ray Rice, 200+ combined and a TD. Willis McGahee reappeared as well, with 76-2 TDs. Did anyone see Derrick Mason's TD catch, sandwich job and a long TD. Culpepper was impressive... NOT.
Green Bay v Chicago
Anyone counting on Aaron Rodgers to carry them into the playoffs were disappointed with his 18 yards and no TDs, but Ryan Grant was fantastic with 137-2 TDs. Did anyone start either Johnny Knox and Devin Aromashodu? Both had solid games. Plus JerMichael Finley continues to play well when he is healthy. Both Jennings and Driver were disappointments.
Seattle v Houston
Matt Schaub had a game by half time, finishing with 350+ and a pair of TDs. Glad I sat Big Ben on Thursday! Andre Johnson was huge as well with 11-192-2 TDs. There wasn't a single Seahawk worth talking about.
Denver v Indianapolis
Peyton was his usual self, with 4 TDs and yardage, but 3 INTs was a little big of a set back. Reggie Wayne continues to struggle with injury and is fading down the stretch. Dallas Clark is determined to take up the slack, posting 3 TDs. And we can't say enough about Brandon Marshall's HUGE day, and on top of his 22-200-2 TDs, he told everyone he was going to do it.
Miami v Jacksonville
Ricky Williams is continuing his excellent play since Ronnie Brown went down, with 108-1 TD. Now that he is healthy, Greg Camarillo is starting to look like a southern Wes Welker, with 7-100-0 TD. MJD was ok with nearly 100 combined and a TD, after a few quiet weeks. Nothing else much to say, except, if there is anyone in fantasy-dom that is counting on David Garrard, what the HELL are you thinking?
Buffalo v Kansas City
Jamaal Charles has played well since LJ left town (20-143-1 TD). And Fred Jackson had a nice game too (20-99), with Marshawn Lynch adding 84 yards on the ground. Matt Cassel was impressive with 4 INTs.
Cincinnati v Minnesota
Actually fairly pathetic fantasy play from both Palmer and Favre. Benson surprised me a bit with almost 100 yards against the stout Viking D. AP returned with a great game after last week's poor showing (97-2 Tds , plus 3-40 receiving). Both Rice and Ocho Cinco salvaged their days with TDs.
Carolina v New England
I don't know what anyone thinks, but Moss gave up in this game... what a waste of talent. Almost identical pedastrian numbers for Brady and Moore. Williams returned with nearly 100 yards, and Maroney posted about the same. The only good games were from Welker (10-105) and Smith (2-83-1 TD).
New York Jets v Tampa Bay
Really poor games for both QBs. For Tampa, there really is nothing to talk about from a fantasy perspective. Solid game again for Thomas Jones, 99-2 TDs. And that is about it. Thomas Jones.
St. Louis v Tennessee
Keep an eye on the VY injury, but I think, since this game got out of hand early, they pulled Young so not to aggravate his hammy, but I didn't see the game. Who in the heck is Keith Null and what in the hell were the Rams doing starting him? Chris Johnson is ALL-WORLD... 3 TDs, 117 rushing, 69 receiving. WOW.
Washington v Oakland
Jason Campbell almost sunk my playoff battleship with his 222-2 TD performance, but his second half was slow. Those who had to pick up Quinton Ganther didn't do too bad, with almost 100 combined and 2 TDs. When is Oakland going to figure out that McFadden is the most talented guy on the team?
San Diego v Dallas
The December tank keeps on rolling in Dallas. Both Romo and Rivers put up solid if not spectacular games (249-2 TDs vs 272-1TD). Vincent Jackson has to be considered an elite receiver now, with another great game (7-120), though lacked a TD. Tomlinson has turned into a TD guy, scoring once with modest numbers. While for Dallas, the RBBC is killing JOnes/Barber/Choice.
For the final notes of the night. 1) What a shoot out in the Meadowlands tonight... 37-31 and counting. 2) Welcome to the fantasy playoffs Drunken Irish, after posting a 7th straight Must-Win, winning the division and the number 2 or 3 seed in our league. Sweet!
