Having been elimatined from playoff contention last week, we asked our white brothers to take the field and play for pride this week. Always a mistake. We finally had what you'd call a bad week from Manning. I've been pondering a switch to Brady for a couple weeks now. It would have been better, as he had 16 points, but not much better. The true surprise was that we should have played Favre. Good old Mister Never Gets Picked Off. He had a solid 21 points. This means that this week was the first time something happened all season. But what?? I'll make you wait to find out.
Big day from Brian Leonard. I think 36 yards was his rushing high for the season. Less big from Packer John Kuhn. At least his name sounds really white. Some of you may recall that at one time we had a fullback named Madison Hedgecock on the team. He plays for the Giants. I use "plays" in the metaphorical sense. Well jokes on us. He had a TD in Sunday's win over the Falcons.
I'm going to call our receiving a massive victory this week. We had three receivers contribute one or more points. Welka was big, putting up 20 points without scoring a TD. Go Jets defense. Eight points from random white Packer was good too. I'd say more but I have no clue who he is. Collie only had one point, but with Manning having a bad day that is to be expected.
Crosby puts up 12. Pretty solid for a kicker. Too bad the defense let us down again. I don't know, if I was a Packer fan I'd be troubled by how inconsistent my defense is. Good thing I'm not. Speaking of troubled fans, how about those Lions? They never say die.
Now the moment of truth. Was 63 enough to win and get us over .300? No, it was not. Our opponent has Drew Brees, Jones-Drew, and the Vikings defense. Far too much for us to overcome. He only ended up with 71, though, so we were in range. We just needed Welker to have 100 more yards. So what's the magical thing that has happened for the first time all year? Well, if we had played Favre, we would have won. This marks the first time that we could have turned defeat into victory had we played a different lineup. That makes us 10-1 in some type of scoring system that is not the one we are using which has us in 9th place out of 10.
