Proving once again that women like guys for who they are, not how well they play.
But now for the serious Doormat news. It rained all day Monday and the sump pump broke and there is about half inch of water on the basement floor now, but I am wearing rubber shoes in case the computer shorts out as I type so I think I am OK.
Some top quality bad performances were seen in the NFL this week, and here are some of the lower lowlights of the week:
Passer Rating Leaders
Matt Cassel (DAL) 3/8, 37 yrds, 13 passer rating
Kellen Moore (DAL) 15/25, 158 yrds, 52.2 passer rating
TJ Yates (HOU) 6/10, 68 yrds, 40.8 passer rating (and they won)
Punting
Matt Darr (MIA), 8 punts, 40.9 yrds avg. (most punts in NFL this week)
Mike Scifres (SD) 3 punts, 31.3 yrds avg. (lowest avg. in NFL this week)
(By they way, MIA and SD played each other)
Bradley Pinion (SF) 7 punts, 40.7 yrds avg.
Pat McAffee, 7 punts, 38.1 yrds avg. (all stats considered, doormat punter of the week)
Net Pts (through 15 weeks)
NFC-SF, -137
AFC-CLE, -134
(If these guys play each other score could be -3 to 0)
I wish safeties were deleted points. That way a team could conceivably score negative points in a game. Wouldn't you love to see a score of Seahawks, 28, Browns, -4?
The funnel is narrowing with just two weeks to go in the NFL season and, though it is too early to make the call, it does look like the Doormat Bowl this year will be a fruitless exercise in futility between Cleveland and San Francisco.
Though teams at 5-9 are not mathematically eliminated, here is who Vegas considers still in the hunt for the Moldy Carpet. Point differential would be the tie breaker (right Commish?), so not likely Cows or anybody else, if they tie with Whiners, will finish at the very bottom:
DOORMAT STANDINGS, WEEK 15
NFC
W-L PF-PA PD
Whiners 4-10 202 - 339 -137
Cows 4-10 246 - 324 -78
AFC
W-L PF-PA PD
Browns 3-11 253 - 387 -134
Titanics 3-11 269 – 359 -90
Chargers 4-10 280 – 348 -68
Cravens 4-10 292 – 360 -68
Predictions for Week 16 coming tomorrow!
NIners and Browns DID play each other, and the Browns blew them out.
ReplyDeleteThe tie-breaker I think is head-to-head matchup FIRST, then point differential. But I could be wrong. The commish will know...or make up a new rule on the spot. The Craven-Poes played the Browns, and got the loss there. Cravens also lost to SF, so they're sitting pretty, if the head to head applies, and if the Browns somehow win a ballgame.
Cincinnati's punter also had 8 punts, but a gigantic 51.6 avg.. I got that mixed up with the Niners, and thought they had 8.
Yes head to head would probably be the first tiebreaker but it dont matter for Browns and Niners as they are in different conferences. If they meet in Doirmat Bowl it will have to be decided by vibramatic football.
ReplyDeleteCravens had the misfortune of playing the Steelers in week 3 when Big Ben was on the sidelines, and they got away with one. Or, I mean, got stuck with a win.
ReplyDeleteSteelers had a rough start but look better every week. So do Seahawks. Super Bowl most likely those two, but I am pulling for a Chiefs vs Cardinal. I know Panthers look great and Cam is on his way t best QB of all time--his numbers are unbelievable--but Seahawks have the experience so I give them the edge.a
ReplyDeleteSteelers can be beat. Seahawks starting to look like that steam roller again. Chiefs defense starting to just manhandle people.
