Construda Week 1 Recap

Dave vs Kirat
MNF
Going into Monday Night, I was down 58-67 with Scheffler and Packers D. Could I get 10 points between them?

It was over...
when the Packers returned a punt to the house. Scheffler had one 72-yard catch, and then dropped a pass in the endzone. If both the punt return and 72-yard catch don't happen, I lose by 2.

Could his bench have won it?
Starting the Titans D over the Bears would have given him an extra 5. Edge instead of McGahee is an extra 10. And Clayton over Stallworth is an extra 12. That's 27 points on his bench--Kirat lost by 11.

Mark vs ANN-TIX
MNF
Going into Monday Night, Mark was down 55-86 with Grant and Raiders D against Crosby. he needed a miracle.

It was over...
when Ryan Grant didn't get three scores.

Could his bench have won it?
Starting Johnson over Portis would have given him an extra 10. White over Housh is one more. That's 11 points on his bench--Mark lost by 28.


Matt vs MurphMan
MNF
Going into Monday Night, Matt was up 97-60. His opponent had Vikings D and Curry.

It was over...
Matt's player's showed up. A solid performance all the way around. 6 players in double digits and kicker with 9. Nice.

Could his bench have won it?
Starting Kitna over Eli would have given him an extra 8. Norwood over LT (yeah, right) is an extra 5. That's 13 points on his bench--MurphMan lost by 28.


Burnsy vs Showtime
MNF
Going into Monday Night, Burnsy was down 66-73 with Driver and Jennings. Could he get 8 points?

It was over...
when Jennings caught a 56-yard heave. Driver had a touchdown wiped out by an unrelated penalty, but it didn't matter.

Could his bench have won it?
Starting JaMarcus Russel over Brady (another yeah right) is an extra 14 points. Even Garcia would have been enough to win since he lost by 5. If he benches Brady against the Chiefs, Burnsy loses.


Anyone who starts a suspended Steve Smith doesn't warrant analysis.
