Well, the snORACLE keeps hitting the snooze button out there on the couch, so it's up to me, intrepid Basement Blogger that I am.
WEEEEEEEK 17 FOR ALL THE MARBLES and OTHER THINGS IN ME POCKETSES
Carolina 14
Atlanta 28 With nothing to play for, the Panthers rest up for Wild Card weekend, and hand the Falcons a victory, ruining their final game and snatching away their NFC Doormat Division hopes. Better luck next year, Flailers.
HOUSTON 3
TENNESSEE 71
Houston can't mess this up. Tennessee has no chance to lose. The Toxic Cloud gets everyone.
How did they ever win a game?
JACKSONVILLE 17
INDIANAPOLIS 21
Jags bring home loss #12 and call it a great season, but it could have been one for the ages. I think this may have been their last chance at the Moldy Carpet for a few seasons. They may even sell out a home game next year...but let's not get too unrealistic today.
DETROIT 12
MINNESOTA 13
The Yikings, distraught over the tie that renders their chances at the Doormat Bowl down to nothing, come up against a team far more determined to lose. Lions finish with another losing record, but, alas, at 7-9 will only qualify for the Parity Party out on the patio.
WASHINGTON 24
NY GIANTS 31
The Giants stand between the Redskins and Doormat glory. And, I think that's all they have to do to win this one. Stand up.
CLEVELAND 0
PITTSBURGH 9
It would salvage a disaster of Blank Helmet Football for another year, beating the Steelers. Steelers have a shot at a playoff spot. Browns have a shot at the Basement. Steelers roll.
DENVER 400
OAKLAND 0
Not sure why they are playing Manning in this one, but here goes. Terrelle Pryor gets thrown to the wolves for one last chance to throw 5 interceptions and create one more 3rd and 48.
BUFFALO 19
NEW ENGLAND 21
The Nils will get that 10th loss. Must have.
TAMPA BAY 10
NEW ORLEANS 17
Saints don't really seem to keen on making the playoffs. Bucanneers have far more motivation to win the Moldy Carpet. It's no contest.
KANSAS CITY 3
SAN DIEGO 24
The worst team in the playoffs gets their lunch handed to them in the surf.
MAKES YER PICKS OR FOREVER SHALL YE BE BANISHED TO THE PATIO.
Tanks for reminding us of the 3rd and 48 ! one of my top two moments of the season. Along with the Browns giving up 16 points in less than 2 minutes. fun times
ReplyDeleteI got every pick except the Falcons, and I was going to go back and change that. but, I'm on vacation. Atlanta- the team you forever think is going to finally win just one. They lost more close games than anybody, including the Redskins.
ReplyDeleteNow what do we do ? the playoffs have started and the doormat teams are headed for the showers?
ReplyDeletewe have to actually look up at the top of the standings. Kansas City, I think, will be our representative in the playoffs. Green Bay, at 8-7-1, has the worst record, but with Rodgers back in the driver seat, they may even beat the Niners.
ReplyDeleteJust when you thought it was let down time because the Doormat excitement is over....stay tuned for some Doormat playoffs...
ReplyDeleteI think you need spell check, you spelled excrement as "excitement" !
