Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda!

Week #16 By Ryan Schoon

HOU at IND | DEN at BUF | ARI at CIN | MIN at WAS | TB at CAR | CLE at BAL | JAX at TEN | OAK at KC
MIA at NE | NYG at NYJ | STL at PIT | SD at DET | SF at SEA | PHI at DAL | CHI at GB | ATL at NO

What the hell is going on?  Two weeks ago the Colts were a LOCK for the #1 pick and taking Andrew Luck and now they'll fight it out with the Rams for the #1 pick thanks to back to back wins for the Colts.  This was a shocker for me....I thought ever right up until the end of this game that Houston would hang on and then the unthinkable happened!  Reggie Wayne snags the game winner in the closing seconds of the game!  It was sic.....Houston takes a shot to the yam bag they probably shouldn't have.

Well I finally get on the Tebow bandwagon and "he just wins" theory and this is what happens?!?!?!  C'mon this was a drubbing!  Not really the Broncos defense that gave up all those points either...3 special teams/defensive TD's for the Bills and a bunch of Rayner field goals.  Spiller had a great game and Tebow had the worst game of his short career...4 picks!

Had a feeling the Cards would struggle in the cold.  They're just a warm weather team.  Skelton had a crappy game with a couple picks.  He did hit LFitz for a score so that was nice for fantasy owners.  Dalton had a couple TD passes and the one to Simpson was just sick....I'm sure everyone has seen the flip by now right?  WOW!  Bengals get the job done and stay alive for a playoff spot.

Well the Vikings won but at what cost?  Going into this game they were 2-12...WHY would you risk a franchise player like Adrian Peterson on a throw away game like this?  Adrian ends up with a torn ACL and we all know it'll take 9 months to get even close to the AP we all know and love.  I think it's just stupid to risk so much for a meaningless game like this one.  You're not playing for a playoff spot and really you'd like a higher draft pick!  I don't get it.

So Cam Newton locks up ROY (Rookie of the Year) as he breaks Petyon Manning's rookie TD record and more importantly he and the Panthers get the win in impressive fashion.  What in the hell has happened to the Tampa Bay Bucs?  Freeman, Blount, and Williams have sucked all year long and just looked like straight crap.  I expect them to get back to the drawing board this off season and right this ship because they're a talented bunch.  Carolina will be a contender sooner ranther than later....watch out for this crew.

This game went way better than I thought it would for the Browns.  Hillis over 100 and Wallace played decently but not good enough as Flacco tosses a pair of TD's and the Ravens get a couple field goals and win this one.  The Ravens can't play this poorly and win in the playoffs so they'd better step it up.

The Titans didn't play Jake Locker and now it's pissing me off!  Locker when in the game clearly plays better than Hasselcrack and really how much longer does Hasselcrack have?  The guy is old......The Titans pulled this out and cook was a beast for the 2nd week in row.  Hass did throw for 350 but with 2 picks.  MJD continues to be a stud back and pile up the numbers.

These two teams blow.  Oakland was on a tear there for a while and they've cooled way off even though they pulled this game out.  Palmer continues to struggle with int's and if they make it to the playoffs he'll need to fix that.  Kyle Orton is a nice fit for KC and he makes Bowe fantasy relevant again.

Wow!  I knew this game would be close but this was so even closer than I thought it'd be!  Great game....Moore played well and nearly kept pace with Brady.  But Brady would not be outdone and ran two in with one passing score.  The two tight ends (Gronk and Hernandez) have cooled off but that's because of coverage so Brady went back to Welker and Branch and pull the game out.  Dolphins have a good QB in Moore.

Statement game right here.  The Giants beat the crap out of the Jets and took them nearly out of the playoff race.  The Jets aren't mathematically out but they need help to get in.  With a win here they would have controlled their own destiny and they couldn't pull this one out when they needed it.  Giants Vs. Cowboys week #17 for the division.  Win and your in!

Even with Batch in at QB the Steelers were dominate.  The Rams are now playing for the #1 pick in April's draft and I think they just might get it leaving Indy at #2.  The Steelers are on the way to the playoffs and are heating up that defense at just the right time.

Lions are IN BABY!  What an awesome display by the Lions, holding Rivers and the Chargers to just 10 points.  Stafford was awesome and Kevin Smith played well at RB....I still don't trust him!  Floyd was a beast for fantasy teams as was Calvin Johnson and Pettigrew.  Lions look good.....look out Packers!

And the Niners do it again.....how many times will Harbaugh play it safe and be content with a field goal?  It paid off this time but one of these days a better team is going to have 2+ minutes and drive down and score a TD on you to win the game.  You can't win in the playoffs by settling for a field goal every time.  You have to take some shots at the endzone.  Clearly Harbaugh doesn't trust Alex Smith as much as he says he does.  Hope all of you played Marshawn Lynch like I suggested.

HOLY ROMO SCARE!  Lucky for him nothing is broken.  Although I must say he screwed every fantasy owner in a championship game all the way from Dez Bryant owners to Witten owners by getting knocked out 1st quarter.  Can't control injuries but this one hurt some folks.  Philly out played the Cowboys and even though they're out of the playoffs they still took it to them in Dallas.  Maclin scored and DJax had a decent game.  LeSean McCoy went down with injury and screwed some owners as well.

Jordy Nelson at home IS MONEY!  If have a fantasy game next week play Jordy!  He'll get deep on the Lions.  Finley scored and Jones scored twice.  Doing the math you see Rodgers had 5 damn TD passes!  SICK!  No running game at all for the Packers as they're pack to full on committee.  McCown had some offense for the Bears through the air but the real stud for the Bears was K. Bell.  Over 120 on the ground....no scores though.  Bears got got.
