Hakkapeliitat / ‘99ers - week 7
Got thoroughly swept in both leagues, and am now worrisomely sinking towards .500 after a great start for the season.
Hakkapeliitat lost by a whopping fiftynine point margin (yes, sports fans, 59 points of separation). Not on account of bad playmaking, but just being in the business end of truly spectacular running back display - Redskins’ Clinton Portis was a known threat, but Tennessee Titans’ LenDale White tore through the hapless Kansas City defense for three scores. Marques Colston caught no passes in his return from a hand injury, and all in all the entire receiver squad of Hakkapeliitat was very much on the quiet side. Aaron Rodgers played an effective game, his fourth on a sprained shoulder - no picks, and respectable yardage against the Colts. But all in all the team had their worst collective performance of the season. There’s only one way from here - up.
Niners on the other hand had a less conspicuous loss, but a loss nonetheless. Apart from Chicago Bears fabulous defense (two turnovers returned for touchdowns) there wasn’t much to celebrate. Drew Brees had his first scoreless night, and apart from Jonathan Stewart none of the offensive players managed to complete a touchdown.
Bring on week eight.
