Win Some, Lose Some
Tonight's Monday Night Football game wraps up a week where I will have evenly split both my fantasy teams and "real life" football teams. The highlight of the weekend was Penn State's thrashing of Michigan State up in East Lansing, the lowlight was the Redskins' inability to score more than 6 points down in Dallas. In both cases, I was left frustrated.
In the case of Penn State, it was yet another game where Penn State's offense chose to show up for one half of football, and left us fans shaking our heads about what could have been this season. Yes, we finished 10-2, but as my brother was very quick to point out (thanks Steve), what big wins did Penn State really have this season? The only two big games they had (at home I might add), they lost. And not just any loss, they collapsed. Where was this offense during those games? Where was that offensive line?
In the case of the Redskins, one week after showing signs of having an offense last week against Denver, they returned to their no-scoring ways down in Dallas, losing 7-6. You could not have asked the defense to play any better than they did, holding Dallas scoreless for most of the game. My biggest beef though from the game was the blatant bias that Troy Aikman showed in announcing the game with Joe Buck. When Troy told us viewers that Dallas was going to score at any moment because that's the kind of team they are, I did NOT appreciate that little bit of "insight" he was providing. Anyway, I look forward to yet another week of second guessing and disappointed fans.
On the fantasy front, I'm about to pull of my 5th straight win in a league I started 0-6, a mere win away from making the playoffs, and am about to lose in the other league that will put me one loss away from missing the playoffs.
You win some, you lose some.
