BQBL: Week 12 Scores

Another good week for the real fan - the Cowboys squeaked a win, and the rest of the NFC lost horribly. Except the Redskins, but they were playing the Seahawks. I did less well in BQBL, but at least I edged Rob!
  • Nan: 126
    • Panthers - Cam Newton: 0
    • Jaguars - Blaine Gabbert: 48, Luke McCown: 8
    • Chiefs - Tyler Palko: 52
    • Buccaneers - Josh Freeman: 18
Whew, the two top scorers were just about all he needed this week. Let's look at the weeks to come for his teams:
Jaguars: Chargers, Bucs, Falcons, Titans, Colts
Panthers: Bucs, Falcons, Texans, Bucs, Saints
Bucs: Panthers, Jaguars, Cowboys, Panthers, Falcons
Chiefs: Bears, Jets, Packers, Raiders, Broncos
  • Alison: 58
    • Cowboys - Tony Romo: 8
    • Eagles - Vince Young: -7
    • Browns - Colt McCoy: 18
    • Lions - Matthew Stafford: 39
I lied last week about Vince Young! He threw for 400 yards this week and one interception. But he's still the only QB in my history to have been on suicide watch, and that's got to count for something in non-game-day points. This is what remains for Alison, and I think we can solidly expect the Browns to start contributing big points, with 4 out of 5 games against their beefy divisional rivals, and the Lions are also facing some stiff defenses in the last games.
Cowboys: Cardinals, Giants, Bucs, Eagles, Giants
Eagles: Seahawks, Dolphins, Jets, Cowboys, Redskins
Browns: Ravens, Steelers, Cardinals, Ravens, Steelers
Lions: Saints, Vikings, Raiders, Chargers, Packers
  • Me: 33
    • Redskins - Rex Grossman: 6
    • Bills - Ryan Fitzpatrick: -5
    • 49ers - Alex Smith: 39
    • Bengals - Andy Dalton: -7
When I saw the game on Thursday night, I patted myself on the back and eagerly looked forward to a great week, but alas, the Jets, Browns, and Seahawks defenses were just too little to overcome for the rest of my QBs, who were all made to look like Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers with no one even trying to stop them. Here's the rest of my schedule, which is a bit more optimistic:
Redskins: Jets, Patriots, Giants, Vikings, Eagles
Bills: Titans, Chargers, Dolphins, Broncos, Patriots
49ers: Rams, Cardinals, Steelers, Seahawks, Rams
Bengals: Steelers, Texans, Rams, Cardinals, Ravens
  • Rob: 32
    • Dolphins - Matt Moore: 9
    • Raiders - Carson Palmer: 9
    • Broncos - Tim Tebow: 2
    • Colts - Curtis Painter: 12
So, to recap, NONE of the original starters are playing for any of Rob's teams, and, to add insult to injuries, Curtis Painter is often benched repeatedly. One day he's going to get benched twice in one game, and I'm not going to be held responsible for what I do after that. On the bright side for the rest of us, many of these replacements are actually doing better than the original article, contrary to all expectations (and intentions, in Denver). Let's look ahead to the remaining schedule for Rob's teams:
Broncos: Vikings, Bears, Patriots, Buffalo, Chiefs
Dolphins: Raiders, Eagles, Bills, Patriots, Jets
Colts: Patriots, Ravens, Titans, Texans, Jaguars
Raiders: Dolphins, Pakcers, Lions, Chiefs, Chargers
  • Xian: 83
    • Texans - Matt Lienart: 11, TJ Yates: 13
    • Steelers - Ben Roethisberger: 11
    • Ravens - Joe Flacco: 16
    • Seahawks - Tavaris Jackson: 32
I really thought Matt Lienart would do more for you, Xian. I suppose now that they're on their third QB, you might have a good week next week vs. Atlanta. The bad news is, the rest of their schedule is as soft as a marshmallow puff to act as a landing pad for whoever will be QB for the Texans the rest of the way: Bengals, Panthers, Colts, Titans. And it doesn't get better for the rest of your teams:
Ravens: Browns, Colts, Chargers, Browns, Bengals
Steelers: Bengals, Browns, 49ers, Rams, Browns
Seahawks: Eagles, Rams, Bears, 49ers, Cardinals
  • GOOD QB NPC: -41
    • Patriots - Tom Brady: -14
    • Chargers - Philip Rivers: 6
    • Saints - Drew Brees: -29
    • Packers - Aaron Rodgers: -4
  • MEDIUM QB NPC: 28
    • Giants - Eli Manning: -5
    • Falcons - Matt Ryan: -3
    • Cardinals - John Skelton: 32
    • Jets - Mark Sanchez: 4
  • BAD QB NPC: 83
    • Titans - Matt Hasselbeck: 48
    • Bears - Caleb Hanie: 27
    • Vikings - Christian Ponder: 6
    • Rams - Sam Bradford: 2
Wow, negative 41. It'd be a bad season for anyone out there who has the Saints.
