The playoff push is well underway and there were some big games this week.

*Week 10 Review

I had a very nice Sunday. Colston had a big game and so did Roethlisberger. Hernandez caught one pass but it was a TD. Can’t wait to get Gates back one day. Folk redeemed himself a bit. Decent result from the Bears DST. Matt had an unfortunate game. He missed a couple of plays. Wouldn’t have been enough though.

Tim was hoping to get a comeback win against Dave. Needed a bit more from the Chargers DST but didn’t get there. Dave has been benching Fitzgerald a lot recently. But he came through on Dave’s bench. Tim made a smart move stealing TO. But he didn’t do a good job this week choosing between Best and Forte.

Derek gets a big win. He stays in a 2 way tie for the wildcard berth with this win against Rhett. Rhett had a strong game. Especially from the Ravens DST. Derek just went nuts though. Manning, 2 RBs and Bowe had great games. I just hate seeing Bowe do well. I think he’s a douche. Rhett had a shot on Monday but Orton needed to get it to anyone but Lloyd for that to happen. Derek was really nervous for no good reason. He always has the other guy’s best WR.

Brian is in the middle of a heck of a late season surge. Seems to be coming a bit too late but he’s been on a tear. Vick, Jones-Drew, Jones, Holmes and the Steelers DST all blew the heck up. Kevin put up a pretty good game with Jennings going crazy. But it wasn’t enough.

Alex was up by a bunch going into Monday. But Rivers went for 4 TDs and just barely got enough for a big time comeback.

*Best plays and worse plays

Alex played a injured WR.

Fitzpatrick would have gotten Rhett the win. Really wish I managed to get him off the wire that week.

*Interview – Thanks Matt

Newsletter: Prior to this week, I thought your shots of the playoffs were pretty good. You have a fairly easy schedule for the last few games compared to me or Derek. But now, it kind of looks bleak. Do you think you will make it?
Matt: Not likely, I’m pretty sure my hopes now rest more on you guys miraculously loosing than they do on me winning. Here’s hoping you and Derek put up some more of that playground football action. You can do it, I’ve got faith in you.

Newsletter: This was a must win game for you and me both. You made some unfortunate lineup choices. What made you finally start Bradshaw? How about those other unfortunate decisions?
Matt: I’ve started Bradshaw before this game, I’m surprised you didn’t notice. McCoy hadn’t been putting up as many points as he had recently, so it seemed like a decent choice. Ochocinco is the bane of my existence, if he’s in he does jack shit, if he’s not he gets decent points, plus he was injured this week. WTF on the tight end and kicker, both were bye week replacements I hadn’t dropped yet, those points were a big surprise. I know miller was still injured but he was playing and I figured he’d still do better.

Newsletter: Baby steps. Can you beat Rhett?
Matt: Yeah, marriage has sucked the life out of all those guys,

Newsletter: How about Alex and Derek after that?
Matt: I would be upset if I lost to alex, I’ll leave that to Dave. Derek will hopefully too break his mind on the jlpt and set a terrible lineup.

I don’t know if I explained this grad school thing to you, I have 0 free time. I was up all night finishing a paper last night. I took 15 minute naps every 2 hours. This is not unusual. I don’t have time to research my players, if I win I thank CBS analysis, if I lose I curse it. (ed: I have no idea what that is like. I’m unemployed.)

*Final thoughts

Derek and I win key games. We both are 1 win away from wildcard berths. If Brian and Matt lose one, we are both in too. Tim and Chris are in. All this is of course assuming our 99+ point lead in total points stand tall.

Love how we have our division and league set up with division winners plus 2 wildcard spots. Shame there isn’t more drama at the end of the season. Have to put that on us letting Tim and Chris go on huge tears and not the format.

I am going to bitch about my WRs. WTF. They are all injured. I am deep at RB not WR. Grrr.

Hope this week’s hottie makes up some for last week’s.
