DharmaHelper 10 - GOLDEN 41
If the league didn't require bye-week substitutions, DharmaHelper could have added to his win column this week. Unfortunately for him, he had to pick a defense after the Atlanta Falcons were snatched up in the supplemental draft. His Ravens and Bears put up solid offensive numbers but his supplemental pick on defense, the Jaguars, proved fatal. We refuse to call this a bye-week blunder because the Jags held their opponents to an average of 18.67, not including their game against the Patriots. Furthermore, none of the available supplemental teams would have led DH to a win. On the flip-side of the game was the opportunistic Golden. He had all three of his drafted teams and they all did their jobs. The Giants and the Packers put up respectable numbers and the Bills held strong against a weak opponent.
Epignosis 12 - TURNIP HEAD 27
Picking bye-week supplemental teams led to two losses so far, but could Epignosis defy the odds? He came close but not close enough. Taking the Atlanta Falcons was a smart choice but they didn't put up the same monster number as recent week. Epi's Saints were the, well, the Saints and struggled. On top of it all, Epi's supplemental Browns defense got a win but they gave up a lot of points to get it. Turnip Head was left sweating by halftime Monday night though. His Colts scored barely enough points to leave him above zero after another iffy performance by his Rams defense. So it all came down to Pittsburgh, who were held to three points by halftime. Epi could win if Pittsburgh could be held to eight points or fewer but it wasn't to be. Pittsburgh opened things up in the second half and added to Epi's heart-breaking season.
G-MAN 51 - Leggyorlyb -2
The Chip Kelly experiment finally produced for G-Man in Week 5. The Patriots did their job and the Eagles lit up the scoreboard. Despite losing at the end, the Chiefs finally looked like the potent defensive team they were last season. On the opposite side of the game, Leggy's Broncos continued to underproduce and the Seahawks couldn't crack the Bengals defense in a meaningful way. Then there's the Detroit Lions defense. This year hasn't been pretty for them and Week 5 only got uglier for them as the Arizona Cardinals used them t get back into their high-flying form.
METALMARSH89 38 - MovingPictures07 17
Leave it to Mr. Perfection to find victory with only two of his three teams. The Arizona Cardinals scored enough points (again) to assure MM the win (again). His Bengals defense let up more than their average points against but MovingPictures07's team just couldn't keep pace. Tampa Bay's offense produced a huge score but the Dallas Cowboys looked more like cow dung, putting up just six points. His Houston Texans defense continued to struggle despite their supposed pedigree. By the end of the day Sunday, MM had a one-point lead with San Diego's offense left to simply increase his margin of victory on Monday Night Football.
Using NFL tie-breaking procedures, we have the following standings after Week 5:
In Week 6, MovingPictures07 needs to draft two supplemental offenses and Turnip Head is in search of a supplemental defense. MP07 will draft first, followed by TH, then MP07 again. This week, we start a two-week stretch of conference play.
WEEK 6 MATCH-UPS:
DharmaHelper (3-2) v. Turnip Head (2-3)
Epignosis (0-5) v. Metalmarsh89 (5-0)
G-Man (3-2) v. MovingPictures07 (1-4)
Golden (3-2) v. Leggyorlyb (3-2)
