Week 4 Recap - Boring Edition

Usually I have a day to process a Redskins loss before doing the recaps but this week we're not so lucky.  Along with alcohol and a late night I'll probably be less creative and utilize more plagiarism.  So here we are.   Week 5 has begun and it's the beginning of BYE weeks for some of us which means it's time for some waiver battles.  As a side note I'm incorporating a new weekly award which will be different each week.  The prize will either be disgrace or glory depending on the predetermined weekly category which will be a secret until it has been awarded.

Here are the current leaders:

AFC East:    Excederin Migraines (New)
AFC West:   ThoughtIHadAByeWeek
NFC North:  Tyrodasaurus Rex
NFC South:  My Pet Monsters

BLOWOUT OF THE WEEK:  League Champion Hard Knocks 58.12 vs GRONK OF THRONES 114.78.    GRONK OF THRONES is on a 3 game win streak and owns the highest overall point total in the league this season and is averaging 114.62 points per matchup.   They seem to be unstoppable at this point as they destroyed our League Champion Hard Knocks by 56.66 points, nearly double his score!  Hard Knocks had their lowest output of the season with 58.12 points.  Hard Knocks 1-3 goes to 4th in the NFCS and GRONK OF THRONES maintains 2nd in the NFCN.

PHOTO FINISH OF THE WEEK:  D-TOWN BEATDOWN 54.86 vs big blue 58.78.  This is the second week in a row where D-TOWN BEATDOWN has been defeated by the smallest margin of the week (3.92 points).  big blue has the lowest winning score in the league this season.

DUMPSTER FIRE OF THE WEEK:  Star Chasers 50.08 vs Gashouse Gorilla's 71.90.  How the projected mighty have fallen from projected grace!  Still unable to find an answer to the loss of David Johnson, Star Chasers was last in the league in scoring, had their lowest score of the season, and has underachieved every week this season.  From Yahoo:  "Dear, Star Chasers: Sorry to hear you lost. Toyota Hall of Famers don't really know how that feels, but surely it can't feel great. Next week, just win."  The margin of victory of 21.82 points was the biggest of the season for Gashouse Gorilla's.  Star Chasers 1-3 falls to 4th in the AFCW and Gashouse Gorilla's 2-2 stays 4th in the AFCE.

Bronx Bombers 100.14 vs ThoughtIHadAByeWeek 83.94: Bronx Bombers takes the W while earning their highest score of the season after doing some wheeling and dealing with the devil at the crossroads.  He managed to get Cam Newton who's been underperforming by not even earning 15 points a game but suddenly managed to score 34.04 points against God's gift to bandwagon fans everywhere the Patriots....    This was the first loss for ThoughtIHadAByeWeek because 5 of their starters scored less than their projected points.  Bronx Bombers 2-2 remains 3rd in the AFCE and ThoughtIHadAByeWeek 3-1 keeps representing the #1 in the AFCW.
