Jaguars 12, Ravens 7
It may not have been a Slufgest, but it was pretty darn close. The Baltimore Edgar Allen Poes and the Jacksonville Gaguars staged a re-enactment of the Pit and the Pendulum last night- at least it must have felt like that to their fans. Just kill me now!
16 punts. 146 total yards of offense from the Ravens. The Ravens didn't get a first down until the 3rd quarter. The Gaguars were not prepared for this level of competition from the Ravens, and, despite not even scoring a touchdown, prevail in this MNS (Monday Night Stiff) that outdid the other 6 Doormat-worthy games they've had on Monday night this year. 16 penalties. SIX fumbles (2 lost). Seven sacks. 23 total first downs. Lord God Almighty, it's a crowded Basement.
I guess we could call it stalwart defense, but....the Doormat Division knows better.
Good grief Jack Del Rio saved his job. By coaching to lose but winning anyway. What a league.
Well, a fitting end to an amazing weekend of football. As DT Rocks said last night, "I'll stop complaining about soccer being boring if this continues." Now them's strong words.
-wacko
Once upon a Monday dreary
ReplyDeleteWhile football droned to make me weary
Like pendulums swung the punts across the field, oh what a bore
Quoth the Eagle on the barstool...
Nevermore...nevermore...nevermore
Go, man, go.
ReplyDeleteThese hideous games are no good to watch, but they make fantastic highlight shows! The ESPN guys are having a field day showing the botched third downs, the fumbles, the interceptions, the timely penalties. When you watch it all unfold with some fast forward and some fun music and sound fx, it makes for an entertaining 2 minutes of folly. They are Doormat brothers and they don't even know it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they do know. They're just stealing our idea.
