In-N-Out The 64/60 Week 4

Finally a competitive week in the 64/60. The first three weeks of the season has produced blowout after blowout. Over the first three weeks only three contest had been decided by ten points or less. Week 4 provided three such contest. Also absent in Week 4 was the 40+ point blowout that had happened in each of the first three weeks. The blowout win of the week was a mere 19 points which was accomplished in two contest. Tree Fiddy and Bo's Bad Asses both got their first wins of the season and no doubt used last weeks In-N-Out post as bulletin board material in walk-thru's last week. In the same week as the Asses and Fiddy get their first wins the Bounty Hunters, Jitsuers and steelerdomination were handed their first losses. Now that every team has a mark on both sides of their record the standings are rather balanced. Five teams have a 3-1 mark, one team is at .500. Two teams have a tie on their ledger and have identical 1-2-1. Leaving four teams at 1-3 marks. Week 5 could go along way in determining which 1-3 squads have a run in them as Tree Fiddy faces off against his rival Chocktaw Shock-n-aww while the Barboursville Stars take on Bo's Bad Asses. The winners will be another game closer to the .500 mark while the loser will be a long way from playoff contention and will likely need to go 6-2 down the stretch to have any hope of a playoff spot.


Game Recap

BC Fightin Amish(please note this is not a trademarked property)103 vs. steelerdomination 101.

Other than the tie in week 2 this has been the closest battle of the young season. steelerdomination was the much more balanced team with six players posting in double digits. However steelerdomination was void of any primetime performer. That was not the case with BC Fightin Amish(please note this is not a trademarked property) who had a negative point defense a 0 point WR and six other players who failed to top double digits. However CHRIS-TO-PHER Lee had huge games from Antonio Gates and Arian Foster who even after missing a quarter of action posted 33 points a piece.

MOP- Foster, Gates 33

Tree Fiddy 137 vs. Jess's Jiu Jitsuers 130. The Fiddy get their first win and a victory over Ward makes it that much sweeter. The Whitley vs. Ward rivalry stems from Comment Wars on this very post and is no doubt the biggest rivalry going on in the 64/60 today. And quite frankly the 64/60 is in need of more rivalries that go beyond the action on the field and into the Smacktalk and Blog realms of the 64/60.
This rivalry does just that. In this rivalry The Bad Guy tends to have the edge in the Smacktalk but the action on the field here of late has been all Whitley. Much like the Amish contest the Jitsuers had more consistent play with 8 double digiters while the Fiddy had 6. The Fiddy however posted huge days from Johnson 26 and Tomlinson 30(I wouldn't buy much stock in a repeat of that performance), while the Jitsuers only had a high of 20 from Frank Gore.

MOP- Tomlinson 30


Argumentative 9irons 110 vs. Barboursville Stars 102. At least something would good would happen to the 9irons this week. After losing in the title game of the Fantasy he loves he gets a win in the Fantasy he hates. Karma can be a bitch I suppose. Typically a team will emulate the personality of their coach but since this squad is off to a 3-1 start I tend to think this team is rallying around the hatred of it's owner and wants to force the hateful old geezer to play more games. For the Stars it has just been a bad month for a owner who enjoys the game. The Stars had a early exit in the baseball playoffs. Lost to a girl in the consolation bracket to finish 6th on the season and has started with a 1-2-1 record over the first month of the football season. This contrast in recent success just shows that the game of Fantasy doesn't play fair.

MOP- Chargers 28


12th Rd Kicker 95 vs. BCFP 83. A bizzare game that it seemed no one wanted to win. The Factory posted -1 points from Cutler who didn't play in the second half. Portis posted 9 points but missed nearly the entire second half. Combine this with 10 total points from 2 WR's and you would expect a 30 point blowout. However the Kickers attempted to give it away. Despite solid performances from Hillis and Mendenhall the Kickers posted 0 points from two WR's and a negative performance from the D which alloweed the Factory to hang around. Losing to the Kickers is painful enough however Nate Kaeding outscoring my Kicker was just salt in the wound.

MOP- Addai 22


Bo's Bad Asses 118 vs. FV Slobber Knockers 99. Finally the Asses shit out a victory and used the Knockers as the toilet paper. Big day from TO, another performance I would likely not buy stock in, and Mike Tolbert who's addition could bring some controversy to the 64/60 but at the moment no complaints have hit my desk. Perhaps this is the win that can get the ball rolling for the Asses. Although the Knockers didn't get a W this week they certainly got my attention this week by actually paying attention. For those who may be wondering that is indeed the FV Slobber Knockers who's name appears under the Recent Transaction tab.

MOP- Owens 38


Bounty Hunters 69 vs. Chocktaw Shock-N-Aww 50. A win is a win I suppose but neither team can be happy about their performance from this past week. The Shock-N-Aww have had struggles from a record standpoint but this 50 point total is nearly 40 points below their average. Of course having a full lineup in would have likely helped. Though the BYE guarantees your team will not lose it is not a good matchup from a Fantasy standpoint. This week the Shock decided to go with three players who had a bye this week given that a K, RB and WR were the positions 19 points could have been attainable. During the course of the season eventual playoff teams have occasional weeks when you get a W more on luck than results and this is one of those weeks for the Hunters. When you can get a W with 2 points from your QB, 0 points from the RB position and a combined 8 points from two WR position and a Flex whom one of which was Randy Moss consider yourself lucky.

MOP- Wayne 33


Pick Up Of The Week

Dustin Keller- Bounty Hunters. Keller is clearly the favorite target of Sanchez and seems to be a redzone threat. Keller could be a Top 5 player at his position at years end and it cost the Hunters 0 dollars from their FAAB budget.

Head Scratcher Of The Week

Pierre Garcon- 12th RD Kicker. Garcon has been injured and Collie has emerged as the clear cut number 2 but Garcon will return soon and is the number 3 WR on the best passing attack in the league. Garcon is worthy of a reserve roster spot and should have been kept over Orton or Maroney.

Coleman vs. Ward/Hobson/Hardy Challenge

Kicker- I don't want to claim victory just yet but in case you missed it the first K selected has already been benched. So I could have some clear sailing from this point forward.

BCFP K- 8 YTD 22
Hartley- 0 YTD 19

BCFP DEF- 7 YTD 31
JETS - 8 YTD 32
