1. Worst Week Ever. In the history of the league, this was the worst week ever statistically. The average points won was only 4.4, and only one member, Brandy, had a winning week. The rest of us suffered through 3-11, 4-10 and 5-9 and 6-8 weeks. Two members broke even — Peg and Jo.
2. Jo Widens Her Lead. Jo's 7-7 week was enough to widen her lead to 5 points over the Ghost. With the number of games dwindling, 5 points looks better and better.
3. What Happened? Lots of logical favorites lost, and some lost badly. The Jets, the Ravens, the Packers, the Eagles, the Rams, the Saints, the Raiders, the Broncos, the Seahawks and the Bengals all lost. Who could have expected so many upsets in one week? Except for Jo, of course.
4. What Now? The landscape has changed considerably after this weekend. With the Packers, the Bengals and the Broncos now suspect, this week should be interesting. The Broncos and Eagles will have a new quarterback, the Pats lost a key receiver, the Saints are in disarray, and the Cowboys will have Romo back but are 2-7 on the year. What is with Seattle? Losing at home by a lot? The Eagles lost to the Dolphins? The Rams benched their quarterback? The Saints fired Rob Ryan? Will Rex make him his DC? Yikes?
5. Week Eleven. Broncos-Bears will be an interesting pick, as will Packers at the Vikes. Bengals at the Cardinals will bring two strong teams together, and the Bills at the Pats will cause a crisis in confidence for some in the league. We'll see.
6. The Crazy 90's. With Jo at 102, those chasing her bunched in the 90's. Ed has 97, Karen 96, Patrick and Wayne 95, Luke 94, Brandy 93 and Marc 92. The Commissioner suffered his worst week ever at 3-11. His only relief was knowing Deland had a 3-11 week as well.
