Week 2 Results

After another intriguing Monday night showdown, the dust has cleared on the week. Here are the scores for Week 2:

If it's true that defense wins championships, then DharmaHelper may be thinking championship right now. Once again, his Jets defense held strong enough to clinch him the victory. Despite TurnipHead having one of the highest-scoring teams in the NFL on offense this week, his St. Louis defense proved porous enough to put him in a bind. TH needed the Colts to score just 19 points to walk away with the win (a seemingly easy task for one of last season's better offenses) but it wasn't to be.

Elsewhere this weekend, Epignosis had a great chance at winning. Metalmarsh's team was limited, as he had an offense and a defense playing against each other, resulting in a wash. The smart money seemed to be on Epi taking advantage of MM's weakness. But it seems that MM's Arizona offense is not to be underestimated. They single-handedly won the game for MM. Epi's team got the job done and scored enough points to beat five of the other six teams playing this weekend but he fell victim to a schedule working against his favor.

G-Man v. MovingPicture07 came down the the Dallas-Philly game. That game was a close affair but not close enough for G-Man to hold on for the win. Defense was once again a key contributor, as G-Man's Kansas City defense choked big time throughout the Thursday night game. MP07 benefited from a stronger game from Tampa Bay, though he has to be concerned about Dallas losing both their top wide receiver and the starting QB. For now though, he gets to bask in the glory.

Golden v. Leggyorlyb came down to the Sunday night game between Green Bay and Seattle. Golden's Buffalo defense let him down in a big way this week, leaving him in a hole that just couldn't dig out of. He needed a Green Bay blowout of the Seahawks of epic proportion but it was not in the cards, sending Leggy to 2-0.

The standings now tell an interesting story. The Baddie Conference shows signs of parity, with DH at 2-0, two 1-1 teams, and an 0-2. The Civvie Conference is less balanced. MM and Leggy sit at 2-0 while Epi and Golden are on the outside looking in at 0-2.

A new feature to not in the standings are the Top O's and Top D stats. These will note when a player had one of the top two offenses of the weekend and if they had the best defense for a weekend (fewest points allowed). In Week 1, nobody had the top two offenses or the top defense. These stats will be used as a tie-breaker if necessary later down the road.
