Reaction to Week 7 and 8

I guess I will double up on my reaction blog for the last 2 weeks. First off I've fallen back on hard times again. I technically had a chance to win on Week 7 (instead I lost 75-44 against the worst team in the league) but I would have had to know a few things about my starters that just wasnt possible at the time that the game would have started. So I dont feel too bad about that. Although I should have dropped Colston sooner because he has just disappointed me all year long. The only thing that makes me feel ok about him is that Brees has done poorly all year long as well, so if one did well the other would do well as well. I left Hillman on the bench and he gave me 21 points instead of putting him in place of Oliver (who only gave me 7), but considering the SF D/ST versus the KC D/ST, I think I made the right decision, even though that was a net change of 14 points against me. I also could have put him in in place of Bernard, but who knew that he would only put up 1 point (for a net difference of 20 points). Also I left Beckham Jr on my bench with his 16 points, and I could have had him in for Jeffery (scored 0 points, for a net change of 16) or Marshall (scored 4, for a net of 12). I honestly thought that the Bears offense would shred the Dolphins D/ST and score points for me, but I guess I was wrong. So between those 2 players the minimum net difference in players would have been 26 points, which would have given me 70 points and made me feel better, but i still could have won with other moves, but at that point the possibilities are so wide that i could not have known them from the beginning. So I guess being able to win the match is just a moral victory at this point in the season. With that in mind, Week 8 actually was easier for me to loose, because my opponent outscored me by 34, and I would not have been able to make up the 34 even with throwing my bench in to help me. And there is not much to say about it. My team is coming up short now, especially after starting warm with the points, then turning downward, then a surprisingly great game in week 6, now its been bad the last 2 weeks. I have both Bears WR and TE and QB....and the WR have let me down the most this year. I threw it all in with them and it just hasnt worked for me. So I'm turning my attention to the Broncos and cheering them on in real football and letting my team do whatever it can this year. Hopefully I will catch a break in the playoffs and get 7th place. Which at this point would be a plus for me and be just as good as making the winners bracket.
