Week 11 brought with it the surrender that comes from a decision to rebuild, the acceptance of falling into one's old ways, the delusion of believing that some may still have a shot, the joy of staying on top, and the clarity of witnessing true incompetence.
Let's get to the summary:
Average score fell again this week to 83.3 from last week's 86.7 points from last week's 93, while the average margin expanded to 20.9 points. There wasn't a lot to brag about in the scoring department as the bye weeks wrapped up and full rosters will return this week.
Performer of The Week:
Just one team made it into triple digits this week - Jamie Harris and his team's 105.5 points. Let's not get too full of ourselves now, James. Statistical anomalies do occur from time to time.
Senorita Of The Week:
For the second week in a row, Mike D. has wowed us all with his team's awful-ness. 36.1 points is bad. Real bad. And I find it most depressing that Hauser was his opponent and some how rewarded with a win despite trying to cancel a trade offer of his own making. Really?!?!?
The "Close-But-No-Cigar" Match (es) of The Week:
Just one close on this week as Devo clipped Lance by 4.5 points and trashed talked him on the boards all the while (and managed to disparage our Performer of The Week as well):
Devin Devin (Nov 21 12:38 PM): You might have to fellate Stafford if you manage to pull out the win tonight. I'm sure Harris can show you how he and Brady do it...
7-3-1 Club:
Devo has once again been left alone in the leaders lounge. It keeps its terrible name, but the mob outside has grown in size and ugliness:
Ashby at 6-4-1 with Alls, Hauser, Mike D, Madge, and Gregor at 6-5.
The Jason Madge Memorial "Why Didn't I Start THAT Guy" Fantasy Player of The Week:
Your beloved Commissioner could have used Cutler's 32.8. It totally would have been worth the broken thumb. Ugh.
State of the League:

Still tight. Far too close too call with the playoffs looming. I'd say nobody is out of it, but with Kevin's eye towards rebuilding through trade, I'd have to say he's thrown in the towel.
Happy waiver wire auctioning. US Thanksgiving this week, so 3 games on Thursday. Gobble, gobble.
