This was clearly not the week to leave Joe Horn sitting on the bench. That was an error in judgment, although sometimes, it’s just clearly not your year. A bad week for Jeff Wilkins can happen, but the complete uselessness of Jake Plummer against a pathetic Oakland defense is almost enraging, especially when you’re only playing him on Peyton Manning’s bye week. I wasn’t asking for much, I mean, Spacebunny could throw for 150 and a TD against the Raidess this year.
I have proof that it could be worse, though. I was starting Rex “Kordell” Grossman in my more prestigious league since Palmer was out on a bye. That, combined with no less than four starters on byes, left me with a grand total of six (6!) points against Big Chilly. Needless to say, that team is still winless.
I hate bye weeks. Oh, and before I forget, thank you, Drew Bledsoe, for throwing that interception at the end of the game that gift-wrapped Philadelphia a 101-yard return for a touchdown. Instead of an eight-point win that would have me in fourth place even with the loss to Nate, I got stuck with a tie that has me hanging with the bottom-dwellers.
