Week 8 NFC Review
by Greg Reedy
NFC Guy/Glad to see the Steelers are in that other conference
After that Steelers debacle, pretty much anything can happen. Thankfully in the NFC, things were pretty much normal. And finally an important fantasy decision that actually worked in my favor.
Arizona at Green Bay - It's nice to know Arizona still sucks and loses to everyone. Brett Favre threw three touchdowns and E. James actually had a touchdown for that team. By the way, tell Arizona to never wear those hideous red pants again. GB 31, ARZ 14
Ronde vs. Tiki AKA Bucs vs. Giants - Just what the NFL needs. An extremely blah game with 40 MPH winds that made the wind chill feel below 30 and the entire stadium smell like New Jersey. YUMMY! Bruce Gradkowski proves once again that if you're a QB from the MAC, you probably didn't have a good week. (Gradkowski/Akron, Roethlisberger, Miami (OH), Pennington/Marshall, Leftwich/Marshall and he didn't even play) Tiki didn't score a touchdown and neither did Ronde. Tiki 17, Ronde 3
Dallas at Carolina - Thank you NBC for making the final two minutes of this game the gayest football I've watched since Kordell cried in Tampa. A massive 25-point fourth quarter led to a blowout win and Bill Parcells kissing any player he could after the game including Keyshawn Johnson from THE OTHER TEAM. Oh ya, Dallas made a QB change in Tony Romo. You know what rhymes with Romo. Enough said. DAL 35, CAR 14, Bill Parcells 7.
Fantasy thrills and spills (ESPN Points total)
Thrills: Larry Johnson (4 TD, 41 pts), LaDainian Tomlinson (41 pts) Reggie Wayne (3 TD, 1 2-pt conversion catch, 33 pts)
Spills: McNabb, Brad Johnson (3 INT, 1 pt) Big Ben (4 INT, 8 pts)
OK, here's that decision I had to make. At about 4 p.m. I still had Brad Johnson starting for me at the QB. At the last second I make the change to Ben. And I freak out after that point with the four INTs. Until this morning when I found out Johnson had 3 INTs and no TDs. Starting Big Ben gave me enough points to pull out a 90-87 win on the season to push the fantasy team at 6-2. Only four weeks left in that season until playoffs. Good times. For now.
Today's Halloween. Have a good one.
