It's just week #1 and we already have our 1st major injury. The Pats Tom Brady was the engine that made Open in the Slot a division leader last year. So it wasn't a big surprise when JT drafted Brady again this season (despite that disappointing playoff no-show). Now that Brady is done for the season you have to wonder about his chances.
RECAP of Week #1
SLOT EDGES OUT TEAM TROEGLER (71-64)
No Tom Brady, but the Big O still had enuff to beat Marty. I don't know if they can count on the rookie RB, Matt Forte (20 pts.) to give 'em 123 yards and a TD each week. Marty was the victim of a sub-par nite from Peyton Manning who scores 16 pts (sub-par by Manning's standards).
RAZORS OUTPACE the TERRAPINS (81-72)
The Razors were paced by a break-out performance by D. McNabb (33 pts). But they were lucky to win after the gaff of starting an injured Willis McGee (Yo Rando, check out ESPN sportscenter next time). The Terps had good performances from QB Kitna (20 pts) and RB Peterson (18). But they look a little thin at wide out.
KOYOTES BLOWN-OUT BY SONIC FORCE (79-105)
The Force put the hammer down on the Koyotes to post the best score of the week. Who would have guessed Michael Turner (35 pts) would bust a groove in his first start as "the man". Turner had 220 yards and 2 TD's against the Lions. He can't do that every week, but it looks like he's the real deal.
TAP OUT GETS BIT BY THE PITBULLS (64-99)
Jesse, the rookie, fell prey to the Jedi Master. Don't worry Jesse. That was a Jedi mind trick you experienced last week.
RAIDERS FALL TO HITMEN (94-102)
The Raiders finished Sunday with 94 points, but the Philly Hitmen got double digits points from 6 of 8 starters. Nice.
OB'S METHOD HOLDS ON TO BEAT FLYIN' TIGERS (74-61)
RB Willie Parker broke out of the starting gate with a 138 yard, 3 TD, 32 point performance and OB was off to the races. The Tigers got a late start and could not catch 'em.
The league champ post the lowest score this week. I guess Dave would say he's got us right where he wants us.
Week two game to watch: A battle of un-defeated teams - The Soul Sonic Force vs the Dogs of New York.
