2004 Week #15
5th Place BeaudoinBrothers 118 pts
Red-hot OldNo7 won for the first time this season and for the first time in 20 weeks with 138.5 pts. Trent Green is having a nice season end while Priest is out. He scored 26 pts this week and is now the league's 4th best QB. Fred Taylor scored a rare TD and scored a season-high 20 pts. The Chiefs D surprised by holding the Broncos in check. The Chiefs' 14 pts was their best score of the year. Kevin Jones scored 14 pts, which gives him three straight solid games. Old quickly passed UJ in 5th place and is now 5 rank-points behind the Spitoons. It may be tough for Old to beat Spi with only 2 weeks to go, but it's doable. Old would own the tie-breaker against Spi.
The Decepticons beat the BeaudoinBrothers by 3 rank-points and are now almost assured of the league's championship. As he has done so often this year, Culpepper carried the team by himself by scoring 33 pts. The rest of the team was very average. E James had a good game with 12 pts, but O Smith only scored 2 pts. Chad Johnson also scored 2 pts. Julius Jones had his worst game since becoming the starter with 8 pts. On defense, drunk-driver and killer L Little scored a TD which was key to beat the Spitoons.
The Spitoons finished third and the coach can be blamed again. He started Zach Thomas and Aeneas Williams - both scored zero. Had the coach started Wesley instead of just one of them, they would have beat the Decepticons. The team was able to finish 3rd due to a rare good game by S Moss who scored 21 pts. Roy Williams exploded with 2 TDs and 23 pts. It was the first time since week #3 that Williams scored over 14 pts. The Spitoons failed to take a big advantage of Wax's late season injuries as they only took one rank on Wax this week, and they are now 2 rank-points behind Wax in the standings.
WaxOnWaxOff continues to get hammered by injuries. T Owens is lost for the season. He was the team's MVP and Wax will not recover from the loss and has to look for 2005. Owens was benched by Wax anyway, but L Coles did nothing in his place. It was a strange move by the coach who benched J Walker again. Walker is the league's 4th best WR. R Moss had his first good game since his injury with 17 pts. The Steelers D only scored 1.5 pt against the Giants offense, which was a shocker. Lavar Arrington played for the first time since week #2 and looked rusty and scored only 2 pts.
The roof fell on the BeaudoinBrothers' head as their late season woes continue. W McGahee got injured in the 2nd quarter and only scored 2 pts. T Owens' loss also hurt McNabb's stats. It now looks very unlikely that the team will be able to come back and beat the Decepticons because of all the injuries to the team. Aside from injuries, the team's WRs continue to underperform. A Johnson was benched but Boldin only scored 6 pts. Moulds was not used much since the Bills had a big lead on the Bengals. Backup Jerry Porter is starting to come alive and we will probably see him soon in the BeaudoinBrothers lineup. On the bright side, A Gates scored his 12th TD of the season and continues to lead all TEs in the league. In a week where nothing went well, a Dolphins' special team player was tackled at the one yard line on a punt return on MNF. A TD would have lifted the team over Wax this week.
UncleJack finished last as P Manning and M Harrison were held to 30 pts total. Kicker Akers was awful with -4 pts. The Pats D was very disappointing with only 5.5 pts against the terrible Dolphins offense. Rookie Clayton had a below average game with only 6 pts. Ed Reed also disappointed with 4 pts. UJ has surprisingly moved to last place in the standings despite a strong roster. Just one week ago they looked ready to take over the Spitoons, and now they will have to struggle to get out of last place.
