I guess I have to start off with the Steelers getting Teboed. In the most shocking game of the week, the Broncos passed all over the Steelers. Tim (the savior) Tebow had his best passing performance of his career. He still didn't complete 50 percent of his passes. The Steelers did have a ton of injuries and stacked the line to stop the run. Not taking anything away from the Broncos, they executed a good gameplan. 
     The Texans beat up on the Bengals 31-10 in their first ever playoff win. Behind backup rookie quarterback T.J. Yates and the explosive running of Arian Foster the Texans offense had their way with the Bengals. Cincinnati is a young team with a lot of upside for the next few years.  
     In the game of the weekend the Saints beat the Lions 45-28. Drew Brees indoors is just amazing to watch. They had their way with Detroits defense. The Lions hadn't been to the playoffs since 1999. It was good just to see them make it. God knows Detroit needs something to be excited about. Another young up and coming team. My prediction next year the Lions have the 2nd or 3rd best offense in the league.
     In one of the worst offensive performances I have seen the Falcons lost to the Giants 24-2! Yes that is right they failed to score any offensive points. The Falcons have way to much talent to not come away with at least a field goal. The Giants are getting hot at the right time again. I don't know if in the end they have enough fire power to keep up with GreenBay or New Orleans, but I guarantee no one wants to play them right now. 
 
The fantasy football season has come to a close. I made the playoffs in all 3 of my leagues. Winning one and taking third in another. Overall a good year and turned a nice profit. If it wasn't for McFadden being a mangina with a sprained foot for half the season and Fred Jackson breaking his leg, I would have won two of the three leagues. Sleeper picks this year would have to be Cam Newton and Ryan FitsPatrick at quarterback. Marshawn Lynch, Reggie Bush and Freddy Jackson at runningback. Jordy Nelson, Victor Cruz, and AJ Green at widereciever. Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski at tight end. David Akers at Kicker. And Bengals Defense. With no real off season or training camp this year was full of injuries. Big names went down early and ruined many fantasy seasons. Andre Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Peyton Manning just to name a few. The lesson I learned from all this is draft players with good track records of being healthy and draft depth or the backup to your key running back. I went with a formula I will be sticking to from here on out. Get 3 solid running backs and a top tier QB early. I stole Brees in the 3rd round. It paid off in spades. I lucked out with the Gronkowski pick. I knew he was good and in a pass happy offense, but he scored more points than almost every wide out in the league. Wide receivers are becoming harder and harder to rely on. Of the top 10 scoring receivers this year only 3 would have been high draft pics. Nelson and Cruz you could have picked up in any leagues free agent pool. For 2012 I will be ramping up my fantasy football blog. In depth reports and strategies.
