Well, the Packers had a shot at beating the Seahawks tonight. They should probably be down 3 points now with 16 seconds left in the game… were it not for another bad call in the NFL’s continual effort to baby the QB, a touchdown drive would’ve turned into a punt and who knows how the game might have ended. Oh well, it wasn’t the Packers night.
Wasn’t my night for Fantasy Football either. Once again, I started the wrong QB (Rivers instead of Brady) and simply went up against the wrong team. I played the 1st place team, who has Bulger, Tomlinson, Gore and Stephen Jackson. Alexander and LJ had decent games, but wasn’t enough to make up for bad weeks by Rivers, Javon Walker, Dallas Clark and Mike Bell… along with great weeks by the opponent. Had I started Tom Brady and Larry Fitzgerald (like I originally had), I could’ve only lost by 7 points instead of 40. Had my TE made it through the whole game, who knows. It wasn’t an impossible week to win, just some bad last minute changes by me once again. I’ve got to move up 1-2 spots in the last 2 weeks to avoid playing the 1st place guy again in round 1 of the playoffs. I play the 5th and 6th place teams in the last weeks… so here’s hoping.
