Put out to Pasture
Week 2 Recap
TANK Sinks While Tom Rockets to the Top
Week 2 in Put out to Pasture delivered one full-blown massacre, one technically-a-nail-biter that absolutely was not, and a benching decision so criminal it deserves its own 30-for-30. TANK1227 turned in the league's most complete disaster, cratering three spots in the power rankings while benching a $39.50 corpse-reviver. Tom1884 authored the week's loudest statement, torching RaiderNation0409 for the league-high score and the biggest blowout on the slate. Meanwhile DJGG keeps quietly going 2-0 like nobody's supposed to notice, and StableSlinky proved you can play a near-perfect lineup and still just look average doing it.
Awards of the Week
The Matchups
StableSlinky played this one like a proctored exam, starting 98.67% of their possible ceiling and leaving a measly 2.2 points stranded on the bench — that's not a lineup, that's a fortress. TANK1227 countered by benching Davante Adams (39.5 points!) while DJ Moore rotted in the starting lineup for a stomach-turning -0.10, the kind of decision that should require a permission slip. A 61.56-point bench total isn't bad luck, TANK, that's a self-inflicted wound, and a 68.12-point margin is the receipt. Zero wins through two weeks and the power rankings just noticed.

Tom1884 didn't just win, he set the league's high-water mark at 199.82 and buried RaiderNation0409 under the week's biggest blowout, a 69.32-point avalanche. RaiderNation left 30.28 points on the table, running their own roster at a shaky 81.17% efficiency, so even their optimal lineup loses this one going away. Tom, meanwhile, still had 12.8 points of ceiling left in reserve at 93.98% efficiency — he beat you with a hand he didn't even fully play. The power rankings agree with the eye test: Tom1884 just jumped four spots to number two, and RaiderNation's 1-1 record is starting to look like a mirage.

Officially a nail-biter by the numbers, but a 66.58-point margin says DJGG strolled to victory with a coffee in hand. Jaxon Smith-Njigba dropped a league-best 42.5 points for DJGG, whose lineup ran at a chilly-efficient 96.2%, leaving just 7.04 points unused. mission909 wasn't hopeless — they left 22.5 points on the bench at 83.24% efficiency — but against a DJGG squad now sitting 2-0, that gap was never closing. Somebody tell the schedule-makers this 'narrowest win' label needs a rewrite.

Power Rankings
Rank trajectory through this week, best at the top — same rankings as the Power Rankings page.
| Manager | W1 | W2 |
|---|---|---|
| DJGG | 1 | 1 |
| Tom1884 | 6 | 2 |
| StableSlinky | 5 | 3 |
| mission909 | 2 | 4 |
| RaiderNation0409 | 4 | 5 |
| TANK1227 | 3 | 6 |
DJGG sits alone at 2-0 with 366.6 points for, quietly building the best résumé in the league while everyone else stares at the box scores. TANK1227 is the only team without a win and just fell three spots in the power rankings, a combination that should worry them a lot more than it apparently does.
The Bottom Line
Let's recap: Tom1884 authored the week's loudest performance and rocketed four spots up the power rankings, DJGG is 2-0 without breaking a sweat, and TANK1227 benched a 39.5-point corpse-reviver in Davante Adams while starting a literal negative stat line in DJ Moore. StableSlinky quietly ran a near-flawless 98.67% efficient lineup and still only gets a golf clap because the opponent handed them the game. RaiderNation0409 and mission909 both left real points on the table — 30.28 and 22.5 respectively — proof that close finals scores can still hide sloppy Sunday mornings. Next week, TANK1227 either fixes the bench or starts measuring the drop to 0-3.
