I won two out of three matchups this week. The strange part is, the one I thought I had the best chances of winning ended up being where I was absolutely crushed. This being my strange QB heavy league that I never figured out, I don’t quite know what I ought to be doing differently. Get better players, I suppose. I went out and did a bit of that by securing Taysom Hill as a TE/Flex. Nice to have a QB at flex where he can do serious damage if given the snaps. His team won last week–if barely. My team won last week by an equally bare margin. They go into a week 2 matchup with an 0-1 Panthers team that is hungry, growing, and dangerous.
Still, I think the Giants win this.
Some other matchups:
Chiefs over Chargers
This is a major battle for years to come, but PattyMo is entirely on fire right now, and I don’t know that Herbert has enough weapons to keep up in this shootout.
Ravens over Dolphins
Dolphins have an explosive offense and they still could not score 3 TDs on the Patriots. The Ravens ought to be able to pull away in this one
Browns over Jets
These two AFC divisions are going to be banging all season. I don’t see any East team outside of the Bills taking a single game.
Some Thoughts:
- I imagine a world where gender stratification is deeply lessened. However, I don’t live in that world. I am supposed to conform to the role I am given as a man–especially when under pressure. I am not allowed to break. I am not supposed to get enraged. I am left to merely be. I need to go back to Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings and find in that my pathway to inner peace. I say I because in order to be part of something more, you have to first be secure in self.
