Going into week 2 The Stewie Syndrome is looking good and I don’t look like the fool everyone thought I was when I took Randy Moss and Terrell Owens.
Unfortunately I didn’t start Randy Moss either week so I missed over 30 points for the season total (for cash on league scoring leader) but I’m still holding on with two solid 100 point weeks from my team and we’re 2-0. There are some other very tough teams in the league as well so we’ll see how things continue but I’m confident at the moment.
As for replacements for The Stewie Syndrome, I replaced Chris Henry & the Panthers Defense with Brandon Marshall & the Texans defense. Marshall was a nice pickup considering I was last on the waiver pickups and he could have some big games, otherwise he’ll still be a good bye week sub. The Texans have looked great (and btw were my most improved team in pre-season by adding a somewhat mobile QB, at least more mobile than Carr, behind a questionable OL) and their big draft pick is coming through on defense and I think they’ll be a suitable trade by week 10 (when both the Texans and Patriots are on a bye week).
BREWTALITY is a completely different story and close to the real situation in the NFL. We’re 1-1 (and feel lucky after squeaking out a 2 pt win) because of the Bears defense/special teams. McNabb isn’t looking great, Jones-Drew and Lee Evans are busts so far and McGahee isn’t doing much either. I did pick up Derrick Ward after week one but that’s a temporary fix and I pulled Evans for Wes Welker this week to see how he does again… I don’t see Evans doing much against New England’s defense. I also added Antwaan Randle El and replaced McNair with Garcia so I have about 4 new players out of the 15 on the roster.
So we’re off to week 3 to see what happens…

Go Bucks! Awesome game today against Northwestern… I turned it on and at the beginning of the 2nd quarter and was happy to see a 28-0 1st quarter!!! Nice to see the Wolverines back on track as well. Can’t completely hate your biggest rival until the big game.
