With the Giants pre-season offensive woes, I elected to start Ben Tate. After all, I had told some naysayers he'd be a Top Ten back if he didn't get hurt. I was tempted to start my rookie wide receiver, Brandin Cooks but played it safe with Frank Gore, instead.
It would be a rough start. Both my Browns players, Ben Tate and Jordan Cameron, got injured in the first half! Meanwhile, my Ravens defense was putting up a big goose egg against the Bengals. I fell behind 40-50 points and needed some big games from Manning, Gore, and Wayne.
But it was not to be. I couldn't recover.

Well, it's hard to overcome 2 first-half injuries and a big fat zero by your defense. I should have known to start Steve Smith and a rookie wide receiver over Frank Gore and Ben Tate? I guess.
