What a week, I failed miserably on my predictions and I could not believe it was as bad as it was. Generally when the game is on the line the big performers will take over, however this week it seems that the guys I felt would be the go to or not go to guys when the game was on the line were not there for me. We all have our bad weeks. In this week I was only happy that most of my pickups were on target, however I felt that was the only way I helped you this week and I don't feel good about that. Hopefully I right this wrong from here on out because thats the only thing we can do is columnists after a bad week is succeed the next time.
Week 11 Successes and Failures
Success- Bowe, D. Cutler, J. Shockey, J. Mcallister, D. Johnson, L. Rosenfels, S. Thigpen, T. Hill, S. Avery, D.
Fail- Hightower, T. Driver, D. Daniels, O. Drew, Maurice J. Hill, J. Hasselbeck, M.
Surprises
Peyton Hillis - Where did this guy come from, the Denver running game looked horrible but another Peyton in the NFL steals the show. This guy is a very good runner with unbelievable cutting skills, Looks like a very good pickup and not to mention he gets a favorable match up this week against a Raiders Defense that can not stop anyone. Great pickup this week.
Justin Gage - The Titans look unstoppable, and this guy broke for some very big pass plays. All the talk about Kerry Collins' age and his arm strength have been shut up the past couple of weeks and Gage has been the beneficiary. This week not so great of a match up if the Jets have one thing it is Darrelle Revis. The Titans will have a hard time running so we may see a huge game from Brandon Jones and Bo Scaife.
Matt Cassel - What a week for the rookie, set a NFL record and the next match up looks great this is a time to start all of your Patriots, the Dolphins pass defense isn't really great and coming off the performance this week Cassel will have a lot of security in throwing the pigskin.
Tyler Thigpen - I can not say anymore about this guy than I have said previously he has a lot of Talent, This week he has only Bowe to throw to and they will both have big games.
JJ Arrington - I hope that it was a fluke but he had a very big day, albeit it should have been Hightower, big day nonetheless.
Disappointments
Donovan McNabb - Also insert Brian Westbrook, Horrible game against the Bungals who they should have ripped apart. Every dog has his day and this is exactly the opposite of that comment.
Timmy Hightower - I can not contain my disappointment, and I have to admit it is not all his fault he is in a pass happy offense and when your backup comes into the game and blows up, really is not much you can do.
T.O. - Single digits the last 5 games, Grant it Romo was hurt, and like another 81 this year TO suffered, but still it is a big Disappointment for those who have him on their team.
David Garrard - The Titans really did not stop the running game, however Garrard couldn't sure up the win with his throws. He threw a bad pick and only threw for 135 yards the whole game, very big disappointment for the receivers. Very good for MJD.
Antonio Gates - Best TE of the year? I think if he keeps having games where he gets 2 catches for 10 yards he may drop around 30 spots in the draft next year. It only gets worse for him with LT "really back."
W2W4
Titans Offense how involved does Justin Gage get?
Clinton Portis is he a go and how solid of a go is he?
Does Kellen Winslow go?
Can Phillip Rivers pass the ball?
Does Matt Cassel Break 25 points again?
Does Randy moss outshine Wes Welker?
