Week Two Addendum

I'm back from the wilderness. Morgan ran off into the woods and started yelping, so we don't know if she saw a wolf or was chasing some smaller animal. We called her for about five minutes and then she finally ran out of the woods, completely out of breath.

That leads me to the final results for the week (which I shortchanged in my earlier recap):

Ocean Beach Surf Riders 92, Rolling Blackouts 49:

Ron wins the loser sweepstakes (but not the Chump of the Week -- that goes to Matt) by getting the absolutely lowest point total. Tiki Barber and Roy Williams showed up to play, but everybody else was in the lower single digits. Had he only started Houshmandzadeh, who connected often with Carson Palmer, I hear, he could have added another twenty to his woeful score. Glen continues riding high, with bullish performances from Hines Ward and the Eagles defense. Am I just imagining things, or are the defenses scoring much higher this year?

Perhaps too high?

Here's a preview of tomorrow's match ups:

Rolling Blackouts at Bay City Steamrollers
Ingleside Instigators at Ocean Beach Surf Riders
Mission Manhandlers at Joe's Mother Tuckers
Arcadia Bobcats at Chicago Long-Horned Beatles
Rolling Rock Wild Things at Emerald City Chimps
The Juggernauts at Bloodthirsty Scalping Savages

Something is definitely messed up with the defenses!

But that might just be some lingering bitterness. But seriously, the scoring for defenses has seemed a little weird. Like how they start out so high and then gradually lose points. You know, until they hit, like, -18 or so.

I agree with the Defense scoring, that needs to be adjusted next season. I only made a few minor adjustments to the scoring matrix for them this year. . . go figure.

I don't think there's anything you can do about the points ticking down. Overall, I'd vote for decreasing positive and negative D scoring (34 is too much for what the Bears did, and -18 is too much (little?) for what the Vikes did). And get rid of the steep drop offs, like 27 pts allowed = 2pts, 28pts allowed = -5pts?
