Well, I'm putting all of my eggs in Lance Moore's basket. (That sounds a little creepy.) I'll need a yardage bonus or some catches and a TD if I'm to split the Hawkins Bros. regular season series. If you had told me that Manning, Portis, and Brown would all go for about 30 points, I'd have been fairly confident in a W this week. Unfortunately, my D/ST laid an egg, and for the second week in a row, the Pack cost me 5 points for my HC.* If both of those "players" break even, I in much better shape come Monday night.
*How good of a coach is Jeff Fisher? He never seems to have any studs, yet he consistently fields winning teams. If only I'd learn to start him weekly...
My team seems to plateau around 115 points each week, and that's not good enough to realize any success. If Edwards and Holt can return to 2007 form, I'll feel pretty good about a Manning, Portis, Brown, Edwards, Holt, and Welker lineup. If that doesn't happen, though, it could be a disappointing season.

truth be told little buddy, I getting a little worried about your team for the playoffs. you are in the lower 5 for points scored and you've been under 122 points 4 of the 5 weeks (case in point - adam has only been below 122 twice and I have never been below 125.) Braylon scares me as his schedule does not get easier (NYG, Wash, JAX and Balt) and Holt is playing on one the worst QB/o-line teams in the NFL. Like you said, I think you'll need 30+ for your core of Manning Portis Brown to compete the rest of the year. And complete turnarounds from Barylon adn Holt (I was shocked to see that neither of them have broken 80 yards and Edwards hasnt had 50 in a game!)
It doesnt help when we play in the toughest conference by far.
Well, I take solace in the fact that I'm only a game out of the WC race, record-wise, and that I'm finished with Kent. Also, I've shown myself at least capable of putting up a 150+ point performance, and I've improved my score three weeks straight. Even if the improvement has been minimal, I like that trend.
