ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FOOTBALL, I LEARNED IN WEEK FIVE!

To quote one of the awesomest, most rocking sitcom theme songs of all time, "You take the good. You take the bad. You take them both and there you have - the Facts of Life!" Now, sometimes the good is good because of the bad. Sometimes the good could be even better except for a bad. And sometimes the good is just real good! We had a little bit of each in Week Five!
THE GOOD THAT IS GOOD BECAUSE OF THE BAD!
1) Marcedes Lewis scores two touchdowns and makes me look real bad for not telling my bro to start him!
2) Ryan Fitzpatrick (3 TDs) and Steve Johnson (2 of them) make me look like a genius with good scoring fantasy days - thank you Jags secondary!
3) Kyle Orton throws for over 300 again....because they were getting their butts beat by Baltimore. (Still counts in fantasy!)
4) The Bears D is real good, but it looks even better against the Panthers O.
5) The Bucs beat a quality team to go 3-1...or are the Bengals just that bad!
6) Hakeem Nicks had 130 yards and 2 TDs...but he was playing the Texans (this could also be a "Could have been better" because he missed a wide open 50 yard touchdown!)
THE GOOD THAT COULD BE EVEN BETTER
1) Owen Daniels had 3 catches for 45 yards. Not great, but it may lead you to believe he's back!
2) Felix Jones had 136 yards total and had 15 carries to Marion the Barbarions 6, but it looks better in a win!
3) LeSean McCoy was making people McMiss all night, but why do you fall down with the game on the line?
4) Michael Crabtree was everywhere on the first drive of the night, but we didn't see him again until late in the fourth quarter.
5) Kevin Kolb completed a high percentage of passes, ran for a few first downs and looked good, but he didn't look like Mike Vick!
6) Jamaal Charles finally gets double the carries as Thomas Jones....but they lose!
7) Maurice Jones Drew has his second solid game, but he has gained a total of 58 yards through the pass this year and hasn't caught more than 3 passes in any game.
8) Fred Jackson had 12 carries compared to CJ Spiller's five, but he still plays for the Bills!
9) Brandon Jackson had 10 carries for 115 yards. It would have been better if he'd have done that while on my team!
THE REAL GOOD!
1) Matt Forte having 188 yards and 2 TDs!
2) Ray Rice getting 159 yards and 2 TDs - he's back!
3) The Chiefs D being for real!
4) Joseph Addai coming up with 89 yards even though he was injured. He's so reliable!
5) Brandon Lloyd having 135 yards and 2 TDs. Everyone has to believe!
6) Mike Williams, TB, netting 99 yards and one amazing TD catch!
7) Peyton Hillis as a solid starter every week in fantasy (77 yards, 1 TD).
8) Kevin Smith being back!
9) Malcolm Floyd (213 yards, 1 TD) and Miles Austin (166 yards, 1 TD) being on my fantasy team!
10) Jason Campbell coming off the bench to lead the Raiders to victory!
11) Alex Smith being booed (loudly), being yelled at by his coach, listening to chants of "We Want Carr!" and leading two scoring drives to almost tie the game!
12) Ken Whisenhunt leading the Cardinals to a 3-2 record. That's a miracle!
13) Roddy White - every week!
14) Matthew Berry, from ESPN, always says "touchdowns are hard to predict." That's true....except for Antonio Gates. He's scored a touchdown in nine straight games. That's real good!
15) A ton of people running 26.2 miles and getting cheered on by complete strangers!

And remember, it's not just in the NFL. In life there's some good because of bad, good that could be better and just real good. The key is to figure out which is which!

Thanks again! We really appreciate our fans!
