Well, Doormat fans, it's week 12 in the NFL, and the season is about to start winding down. Greatness will start slipping from the grass-stained and bloody fingers of many teams as they lose their shot at the Moldy Carpet. And we can hardly wait to see the coming meltdowns and locker room tornados,.
So the Oracle spins the frozen Retsina bottle (now only half full--or is that half empty?) and here are the predictions for the worst teams in the NFL in Week 12.
Saints- 50
Falcons- 17
Buccaneers- 12
LIons- 24 (700 yards offense)
Vikings- 17
Packers- 13 (let the meltdown deepen)
Panthers- 36
Dolphins- 9
Steelers- 24
Browns- 17 (Steelers back on track)
Bears- 36
Rams- 14
Titans- 21
Raiders- 16
Cowboys- 21
Giants- 24
49ers- 38
Redskins- 10
Texans- 36
Jaguars- 10 (Texans finally get a win)
Gentlemen, make your predictions!
correction! Saints are playing the FALCONS. Toxins are playing the JAGS.
ReplyDeleteYep, and the Toxins will finally get a big "W" Hey, you realize that this is probably the deciding game of the year for who in the AFC gets the coveted trip to the Doormat Bowl? The season is on the line. This deserves a serioius preview. OK everybody, chime in, how do you think this game is going to go?
ReplyDeletepersonally I predict Gags by one over the toxins 13-12.
DeleteOther games to watch: KC vs SD, if cheeps lose rest of games will still be above .500 ouch!
yikes over pack it ins 23-20.
boots vs lions in fumble fest '013
and watch the titans at Raiderz to see if you can see me in the black hole!!!
out.
Elvis, are you really going to be at the game? I'm jealous, you get to see a Doormat play. And hey, maybe Mcgloin is the start of the Raydurz climbing out of the basement for the first time in over 10 years! I would love that. But probably not. Probably just another memorable Doormat stumble through the bonehead forest!
Deletebeen to 3 raiders games in the recent past and all three have been classic doormat events. In one game the jets ran for 200 yards in offense (in the 1st half). In another, down by 17 in the 2nd quarter, the raiders ran back a kickoff for a TD. on the very next play the Pats ran back a kickoff for a TD. man that was something, back to back Kickoffs for TDS, raiders go down 24-7 at the half. Had the privilege of seeing the ultimate doormat QB, Jamarcus Russell "play"? in another game. Oddly enough it is very expensive to witness these games in person. go figure.
DeleteI almost went to one of those Jamarcus games. I forget why I ended up not going. Perhaps sanity prevailed.

Good call on the Bucs-Lions game.
Deleteyep- nice. I contradicted myself in predictions and the wrap-up last week. If things are going to form the Lions should have taken the loss, which they did, and you (that's you whoever you are?) nailed it.
DeleteI forgot one- and so did Jimbo: Titans 45, Raiders -7
ReplyDeleteI think Matt McGloin's gonna throw 4 interceptions.
ReplyDeleteTitans 17
ReplyDeleteRaygunz 31 (no explanation...it should not happen)
jg
I've forgotten that the Titans' Locker is OUT for the year. Fitzpatrick, the interception machine, is hitting the field. should be a turnover party. I'm move the Raiders up to 34-29..but they still lose. Or they win. It depends on the point allocation, and the team that ends up ahead at the end of the game.
ReplyDeleteAnd the GAGS do it, they win game 2 and the Toxins are now the official crap team of the AFC. And they are mine! You guys almost called it. Low score decided on a bonehead play--not a punt--but bonehead anyway. And speaking of bonehead, how about the Fins game? Who uses up all three time outs, on defense, with 2 minutes to go,when your opponent has only one time out and is on your 50 yard line? They gave up a TD, but if they had just let the clock work, the worst that could have happened was a tie with a field goal. They pulled out the stops at the end and it worked, the Fins lose!
ReplyDeleteOK, two of you called the Saints/Failcons score. Wow. Rams and Cardinals Romp! Dallas still on life support but season not over yet. Gnats are officially in the commissary mopping up the spilled beer....
ReplyDeleteI guess I spoke too soon about the Kittens.
ReplyDeleteraiders had a chance to lose it and they did. 10 seconds left- TD titans. the titans started the final drive with 6 minutes on the clock. other than that pretty good game - not many mistakes and there was one or two super plays. will have to take a break from live NFL for awhile though... need to detox.
ReplyDeleteKITTIES are back to 6-5, and looking great. Two people called the Saints Falcs score because they did it AFTER Thursday! Elvis- you were there! Looks like the Raiders spoke too soon about making the playoffs- JINXED!
