Never, never, never, would we have thought that tonight's game between the Lions and the Packers would look like this. We expected it to be a Packer tuneup for the playoff run; maybe give some players a little game time so they are seasoned for the big push in January, while for the Lions it would be that final slip at the basement steps resulting in a head over heels roll to the basement floor. Instead, we have a desperate Packers team--that is losing and nobody knows why--facing an overconfident Lions team--that is winning and nobody knows why--in the Kat Box in Detroit. If the Pack loses tonight, they probably won't even make the playoffs this year and the fans will take them to the woodshed. If the Lions win, they probably will be eliminated from Moldy Carpet competition, but everyone in Detroit will get a DUI. It's lose lose on a grand scale. All of America will be watching, and we Doormat fans love it when one of our bumbling bonehead-forest bozo franchises gets a moment in the limelight.
But, just in case you don't care who wins this game, at least take a look at the Lions cheerleaders-- who, BTW, are not official so do not have to behave--and the Packers.
I don't know, I guess they can both use the barcalounger.
And now, for the Oracle's predictions:
Packers- 28
Lions- 24
(Yes, the God's will not allow the Pack to lose twice to the Lions in one season)
Cardinals- 38
Rams- 10
Falcons- 16
Buccaneers- 20
49ers- 17
Bears- 13
(Stiff of the week)
Jaguars- 24
Titans- 7
(Other stiff of the week)
Ravens- 38
Dolphins- 17
Bengals- 48
Browns- 9
(Field goal for Browns with 3 minutes on clock)
Chiefs- 30
RRRRaiders- 23
Broncos- 21
Chargers- 18
Eagles- 10
Patriots- 48
Panthers- 36
Saints- 35
Cowboys- 10
Redskins-13
they can use the Barcalounger, as long as I'm comfortably reclining in it first.
ReplyDeleteHow on earth are the Niners going to beat the Bears at Soldier field? They were 0-9 (and really 0-11, if you count the failed 4th downs) on 3rd down last week AT HOME. The defense plays well at home, and is just plain horrific on the road. Plus their O-line coach and defensive coordinator now run the Bears O and D over there, and will just stuff whatever the Niners try to do. Blaine Gabbert has actually looked better than Scamperklunk, but he still can't convert a 3rd down, just like he couldn't for the Jags.
ReplyDeleteBears 24,
Niners 3
Jags 21
Titans 20
Ravens 8
Dolphins 31
Bengals 62
Browns 0
Chiefs 13
Raiders 35 (this is complete and total Raider fan rivalry hubris. It has no basis in reality. But neither do any Chiefs-Raiders game)
Broncos 40
Chargers 7
Eagles -13
Patriots +24
Panthers 17
Saints 19
Cowboys 2
Redskins 3
Packers 16
Lions 13
Cardinals 27
Rams 10
Falcons 20
Bucs 20
No way Bears lise but I gotta obey the spinning frozen turkey.
Deleteraiders chiefs game is anybodies, and is this the weekend we finally get some big time college score blowouts? Patriots (2nd string) +50 over the Feebles, Bengals +35 over browns, and Bears +28 over 0-9ers (who are really living up to their name).
ReplyDeleteAnd just what is a "bumbling bonehead forest bozo franchise”?
That would be any team that is systemically bad.
DeleteI agree. We are going to see some college style blowouts this week. Patriots are fuming from last week's loss. They are hungry for raw meat.
DeleteThe Lions, like the Browns on MNF, sure know how to make losing exciting in the end.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the game- I finally saw the next-to-last play- a crazy botched lateral play that got the face mask.
DeleteGrant said score would be 28-24 - final was 27-23 !
ReplyDeleteI can’t stop watching the Hail Mary - I saw it live at the pub - it makes cheer out loud or laugh, depending on if I pretend to be a Lion hater.
A purrrrfect loss by the Kittens. With the game clock at zero desperate Lions pull a facemask to give Rodgers one more 60 yard shot at the end zone and seal the loss. I can't watch, but I have watched it dozens of times. There is no joy in Mudville tonight!
ReplyDeletethe 'extra' play gambit is really more total Doormat than the Browns' "kick-six" last week. Any time you have 'won' the game, and then you get one more chance to lose it- whew.
