Week 12: Unbelievable

It looks like Distillers and Eggers had a shootout, but I couldn't believe my good fortune on MNF. I was down 40-12 to Quags entering the Giants-Saints game when I caught a break when WR Manningham NYG was a scratch for the game.

Then the even bigger shocker was watching QB E. Manning NYG and TE J. Graham NO score 15 Finks points each to bail me out for a 42-40 come-from-behind victory. A stunner. I can't remember the last time I have been four games over .400. Maybe never.

Here's the lowdown on the Distillers-Eggers match from Eggers owner Mike Miazga:

"I show a distillers 75-62 win with Brees pulling out the come from behind win with 27 points.

Put me down for idiot owner of the year. I went back and forth on whether to start janikowski over Akers on thanksgiving and contemplated changing during the fox pre game show that morning. Janikowski scored 28 points and Akers 11. Akers had the hot hand of late for me and that game figured to be field goals which it kind of was just not enough. If I start him I win 79-75. I knew there was no way I was getting away with a 12 point lead heading into Monday night against Brees at home.

Nice win Dan. This was a fun game to chart during the course of the holiday week. You have a good team."

From Distillers owner Dan Cassidy:

"It was a great matchup all weekend long. And I almost didn’t start Brees. I thought about starting Cam Newton since he was playing against the Colts, but then thought better of it (thank God. I would have been doing a lot of kicking of myself today."
