Week 4 Notes, or lots of 2s

 There are 10 team in our league. After Week 4, SEVEN of them are 2-2. And there were other seconds too.

Iron Ryan blows up, wallops Utah Falco 155-107.5

So, I-Ry messaged the Commish on Tuesday: "Hey, I won my first Tidwell!" Except it wasn't his first. It was his second. In his defense, his only other one came in 2019 (Week 11, 129.5 points), and it was pretty non-descript. So I don't blame him for not remembering. I do, however, blame Falco for not using his new toy. After the first trade of the year in the league (Falco got Cordarelle Patterson from The Effect for Jalen Hurts) and then didn't use him. Though, to be fair, the 20-25 points he'd have gained would only have made this less of a blowout. I bet he doesn't make that mistake again next week.



Bishop Sycamore keeps rolling, tops Hamilton Rod and Gun 108.5-99.5

It's hard to tell (I really need a better "database" so I can run queries and stuff) but this might be the biggest difference between the Tidwell winner and the second-highest score of the week. He might have a harder time now with David Montgomery slated to miss some time. I guess if Saquon keeps putting up weeks like that it may not matter. He's 4-0, and as previously mentioned, it looks like not many of the league can compete right now. HRG has a solid if unspectacular team. He might have some trouble when the bye weeks come around.



Death Valley Driver emerges, sacks Hardcore Sacks 107-88

So DVD's emergence also seemed to coincide with that of James Robinson. Urban Meyer apparently decided to use his best RB more, which is most certainly the best decision he made this weekend (and quite possibly his last good decision as head coach in Jacksonville). Hardcore got 49 of his 88 from Aaron Rodgers and Austin Ekeler, but not much of anything from anyone else. He's hoping CMC comes back soon.




Pedro Pickles topples Released Dix On Boobies 105-92.5

Most interesting thing I can see about this one is the defenses on Pickles' roster: he has two, and they combined for -9 points this week. Not that it mattered. Boobies (heh) defense scored 1 point. Boobies (heh) can basically go as far as Dalvin Cook can carry him: and if he's half-injured like this, it seems unlikely to go well.




The Jeff Fisher Effect tops Team Provost 98.5-86.5

As much as I had to say about the last matchup, I've basically got less to say about this one. Provost should have played Deebo, I guess. But not the Pats D. JFE is glad to have traded for Jalen Hurts, but still the rest of his team is "fine."


It's on to Week 5 now. Let's see if someone can beat Bishop Sycamore, if someone in the 2-2 group can go on a run, and if DVD can finally get over the 400 point mark.


(it's cringey because the guy writing this ALSO isn't over the 400 point mark....)
