What do you do when a marginal QB like Wentz PHI pretty much ruins your Finks League season?
This is not an obituary (yet), but merely a report that Dah Commish has placed a "Do Not Resuscitate" order on the 2020 Triangles. Through 12 games of a roller-coaster COVID season, the Triangles are .500 after a devasting loss in their last Finks League matchup.
I was working Monday night and didn't get to watch the SEA-PHI game, but read about it the next day about QB Wentz PHI's Hail Mary pass near the end of the game. CBS Sports reported that the desperation pass ruined the day for many sports bettors. What about fantasy fans?
If Wentz PHI put some of his fantasy owners over the top in a close fantasy contest, that means someone has to be on the receiving end of a loss. That person was me. Wentz's pass to his TE I've never heard of was worth six Finks points in a 49-45 victory for the Jays over the Triangles. The Monday Night game had both QBs in action from each team. The Triangles' Wilson SEA scored six Finks points while Wentz scored nine.
Yes, Wentz outscored Wilson, which seemed unheard of entering the game. My trust in Wilson by trading away Triangles backup QB Rodgers GB in Week 7, has not been returned. Wilson was the NFL MVP favorite when he averaged 18.5 Finks points per game in his first eight games. Now he has averaged five Finks points in his last three games. The Triangles are 1-2 in those weeks featuring a struggling Wilson.
Just when it seemed Dah Commish has put together enough solid starters in positions beside QB, now our Triangles QB starter is underachieving.
And so it goes in another .500 Finks League season. Only two more games left in the regular season.
That is a TOUGH way to lose...I believe this same Richard Ridgers caught a famous Hail Mary from Aaron Rodgers. But he may also be the guy who cost them a playoff game by fumbling an onside kick. He was cut loose very quickly after that loss and raced out of Green Bay.
ReplyDeleteWhen Carson Wentz was entering the draft, sports talk was either fawning over him or warning that he was overrated. I was a little leery of him, but I didn't want to be a college football snob. I mean now everyone can come out of Alabama, Clemson, etc. But he's not working out. Maybe a change of teams will help. I don't know.
