Week Two...Not Sure What To Make Of It

Here we are two weeks into the 2021 Hughes season, that's a seventh of the way to the playoffs and things are beginning to take shape.

Not particularly how I envisioned the year to start but I guess that's what makes all this interesting. Take for example the Kuhlmann Division. Those four teams happen to be the top four scoring teams of the young season. If I was up for some research I'd love to find out the last time something like that happened. 

The 132.0 PPG put up by the Blizzard is pretty impressive. No team has approached that mark for a full season. The 2018 Holes averaged 125.3 points and that is our all time high mark. 

And don't sleep on the Sticks. They have put up exactly 124 points in each of their first two games. That gives them a 124.0 PPG (who said math was hard?) which in any other year would have been the lede for this blog post.

And what do you know...the Blizzard and Sticks face off this week! Easily the Game of the Year so far. The other game in that division, the Strawmenn and Pirates should be a shootout as well. Speaking of Portland...Aaron Jones' four touchdowns/40 points on Monday night brought them from three back of the Giants to a 25 point win. 

The way the Flyers started off on Sunday I was expecting a massive beat-down at the hands of the Nationals. But my guys rallied late to pull away. Looks like the many Lamar Jackson naysayers might be wrong. 

Random Stuff, Mostly League Site Related.... I've been tinkering around the edges of the league site. Found a few things that were not working as expected and fixed most of those. I moved a few modules to places they made more sense. The Fantasy Matchup box is now below the calendar. It looks pretty lame but it's an easy way to get to the starting lineups. And it also has a link to the Fantasy Game Previews. I don't write that nonsense, it's machine generated but the 'featured' game is usually on the mark. For example this week it has the Sticks-Blizzard featured. 

I've mentioned elsewhere that the Overview module has a ton of numbers for you. You will find it at the top of the 'Numbers' section and you click it to open. 'Today's Calendar Event' is near the top of the right hand column on the front page. I put it there as a way to remind you of waiver deadlines and Thursday lineup deadlines.

Any and all feedback on our league site is appreciated. If you find something that doesn't work as expected please let me know ASAP.

Good luck to all this week. the next time we meet here I will be a TWO time grandpa as Brooks' wife  Ashley is about to present us with Ellis Rose Andrews. Two grandkids within six weeks is a nice way to salvage the hot mess that is 2021!
