Burnsy 4-2 vs MurphMan 1-5

So after the 3pm games the score was:

Murphman 61
Burnsy 38

But Murphman only had Braylon Edwards left, and Burnsy had Thomas Jones, Jennings, Driver, Houston D and Houston Kicker. Surely Burnsy could scrape up enough points.

Well at some point when Houston's D still had lots of points from keeping Detroit scoreless, and Thomas Jones had gotten going, Burnsy took the lead.

At just about 6 pm, with 2:44 remaining in the Cleveland game, on fourth and goal, Joshua Cribbs scores for the Browns. Which gives Edwards the opportunity to catch a 2-point conversion pass, giving Murphman 2 fantasy points to end with 68.

Meanwhile, in Houston, Orlovsky connects to Megatron for a 96-yard touchdown (wait for it) with 2-point conversion. When the Lions add a 54-yard field goal they cross the 21 point threshold, deducting 2 more points from Burnsy's total. Oh and those 96 yards, subtracted 4 points from the Houston defense.

Once that game is over, Burnsy is losing 64-68.

But he has hope. Thomas Jones has 128 rushing yards and the Jets just went into overtime. If he gets 32 yards that gives him 4 points (fantasy tie) or 42 yards for the win. Would you believe on the 2nd play of the 3rd Jets possession in overtime, Jones runs for 10 yards for a overtime total of 33! Burnsy is now tied 68-68. On the next play, Jones loses two yards, the Jets punt and Burnsy loses by a point. Unbelievable.

This makes up for the Marion Barber incident.

A recap of everything that had to happen for Burnsy to lose this game:

• The Browns get a TD on 4th down, so Edwards gets a Re2P (+2)
• Frerotte throws 4 picks (-8)
• Barber fumbles (-2)
• Jennings and Driver combine for 6 points and no TDs even though the Packers scored 34.
• Vernon Davis gets 5 receiving yards.
• His kicker got 4 XP but no field goals.
• The Lions got a 96 yard pass play (-4) that added 8 points (-2) and then got a 54-yard field goal (-2)
• And my personal favorite, Thomas Jones gets to 161 rushing yards, before losing 2, to end with 159 and 15 points.
  

In non-Burnsy wackiness, Matt was robbed of an Orton PaTD when Desmond Clark fumbled on the 1. Matt's receiver, Rashied Davis recovered the ball in the endzone and was credited with a OFRTD, but didn't recieve any points for it.

It doesn't matter because Mark went bananas even though his 3 receivers combined for only 10. And I'm going to win even though I have 2 receivers that didn't catch any passes.

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.
