Second Half Awards/Analysis

Best of the best, second half.

I'll start off by showing what really happened in the past 7 games. This should help answer the question of why certain teams are in the playoffs, and why certain teams aren't. Though if anybody can explain to me how YAH is in the playoffs, it'd be appreciated .

Most Valuable QB

Carson Palmer (Feisty Klowns)
The possible MVP candidate did even better than the first half, and he did it with a bye too.

Honorable Mention: Peyton Manning
He had a slow first half (by Manning standards, anyway), but came back strong, leading Rhode Island's 5-2 second half.

Best Running Game

Larry Johnson & Clinton Portis (IwillCrushYou)
Consider the fact that these guys were on the outside looking in the first half. Now, IWCY is in the playoffs thanks to high scoring from these two.

Honorable Mention: LaDanian Tomlinson, Brian Westbrook, & Carnell Williams
Nor Cal is number one right now. But these guys had less of an impact this time around (heck, Westbrook is gone). Still, when together, these three were nasty.

Best Receiving Game

Marvin Harrison & Joe Jurevicius (west coast style)
They did a heck of a lot better than the first half, just missing out of the playoffs. Yeah, the rest of the team had its problems (including losing T.O.), but when WCS needed to be carried, those two were there.

Honorable Mention: Chris Chambers & Lee Evans
The Hurricanes' receivers were nigh unheard of the first half when they were 2-5. But these two led the Canes to a 4-2-1 second half, again, just missing the playoffs.

Most Valuable Kicker

Neil Rackers (FIRSTforce)

He's only missed once, and that was a longer one. The Cardinals may inhale audibly, but Rackers isn't the cause.

Honorable Mention: Mike Vanderjagt
Hey, Indy actually used their offense in the second half! Vanderjagt was a prime benefactor of that with PATs, as well as the Empire, despite just missing the playoffs.

Most Productive Offense

Nor Cal Crushers
Well DUH! The appropriately named Crushers had Tomlinson, Westbrook, the Cadillac, Plummer, Porter, Robinson, and Peterson. The first three were great, the other four were better than decent. And they're in first. What more can you ask for?

Honorable Mention: Pelan's Bobcats
You've got to be kididng me? The Pelancats? Hear me out. The Bobcats may have been the first team eliminated, but that was becasue they were a very late bloomer. They had two excellent players in Shaun Alexander and Antonio Gates. McCardell and Green picked it up in the second half. Even Wilkins contributed worthwhile pointage. Their downfalls came from the gaps due to injuries and a sub-par defense, but if that offense was at full strength in the first half, I imagine there would've been a different outcome.

Most Dominating Defense

Stevies Scapegoats

Hey, they won half a game more than the first half! Okay, not that exciting. But it's still very difficult to go against the defense of the Scapegoats. They chopped their defensive personnel down by one, but they still had Demorrio Williams, Antonio Pierce, and DeAngelo Hall adding big points. On the team side of things, they had Denver and Atlanta, two very competant defenses. Now if only they had an offense...

Honorable Mention: TeamTHRUST
Vilma, Fletcher, and June have been racking up points for them all season long. This would've probably won the top prize if they had stuck with Minnesota as their DEF. Wait, this seems oddly familiar...

It's at this time (you know, while I'm copying the defensive awards from my midseason reviews ) that I now notice that I said Rhode Island had Atlanta in the first half. They actually had Tampa Bay. It's a typo. Just as good a DEF though.

Playoff Picture
IWCY came back from 17th place in the course of a four-game winning streak to make the #8 spot. But they have yet to face Nor Cal. Would that have cost them their playoff spot had they played? Thrust and Tacoites have yet to face either. This should be the most even match on the planet, but Thrust had a total of 90 more fantasy points over the season. Rhode Island and the misspelled Klowns played an excellent game in Week IX, with Rhode Island taking it by 1, and even that was after Yahoo corrected a scoring mistake. This could be the greatest matchup of the year if both teams play the way they've been playing. And finally, YAH started their season around Week XI, and even then, they lost to FIRSTforce by 10. Is YAH the odd man out with the low fantasy score?

Keep in mind that absolutely nothing that happened in the regular season matters now. For the eight teams fighting for the Kamen Bowl, it's a clean slate. So IWCY vs. YAH is very possible in the finals. But it's not a question of what can be, it's a question of what happens. And anything can happen.

I'll see you next week for the Round I postgame.
