Good Day For The True GURU, Bad Day for Mcnabb

The first week for the 2007 NFL season is almost over. With only 2 games its already shaped up to be a strange first week. As with all analysts and bloggers the first week is always the hardest to call. You just don’t know how the teams and players will play out.

In my fantasy leagues, I’ve had mixed results with many players left in the final 2 Monday night games. In the Extreme Expert Challenge, I simply did awful. I had Mcnabb, LJ, and Colston. Nothing much there to gain or talk about for those players, they just did badly. However, in my 3 other leagues I have a chance to win all three depending on tonight’s action. I need a huge performance from Frank Gore, who I own in all three leagues, and Matt Leinart. I also have Larry Fitzgerald, Carson Palmer, and Chad Johnson, so lots to watch. Tomorrow I will post my final results of week one at: http://www.fantasyfootballsearch.com/guru_leagues.html.

Mcnabb
We had high hopes for Mcnabb this week and he fell flat. Except for 1 TD throw there isn’t much positive news to talk about. Watching him, he looked very uncomfortable and unsure of himself. We picked him for our #1 QB this week, and knew it was a risk. We were hoping for the confident Donovan McNabb, not the one we saw. Some good things that came out of the game were his attention to Kevin Curtis. We counted 5-6 looks for Kevin Curtis. He finished with 2 for 53 yards, only 1 catch behind the leading WR for the Eagles. I think as time goes on and McNabb finds a rhythm, his chemistry with Curtis will build. The points will come.

Tomorrow we will post the results of our picks this wee and analyze how we did. Look for that post!
