| Crudinals hope to use the sneak crawl -between-their-legs-and-score-a-touchdown play against the Lambs |
The Gaguars, Yikings, and Pansies don't play this week. So not a lot of doormat action, but there are some great turkeys to see in Week 9 as we have some can't miss Doormat match ups among the worst teams in the NFL.
But before we get to the spinning turkey, here is a quick look at one of the greatest Doormat teams of all time. the 1933 Cincinnati Reds (that's football Reds, but they were so bad it may have been the baseball team having some fun and getting their teeth removed on the cheap in the off-season). In 1933 the Reds scored 38 points in 10 games (tying them for second with Detroit for the all-time low-scoring complete season). However, in 1934 the Reds only scored 10 points in 8 games before the NFL asked them to leave the league because they were so bad (and the owners were so crooked). To get some perspective, the St. Louis Lambs have managed 87 points in seven games (but 31 on them last week), and the Jacksonville Jaguars have mustered 98 points in 8 games (9 times better than the Reds). So the Reds really were about as Doormat as you can get.
But now it's time for our current Doormats predictions for Week 9 as the Worst of the NFL continue their quest for the Moldy Carpet. OK, Don, spin the frozen turkey:
Seahags- 8
Cowpies- 16
(This may be the doormat game of the week)
Dolts- 13
Falcons- 28
(Peyton wants back on the field, but not this week)
Floppers-21
Cheeps-18
(Actually, this might be the doormat game of the week and the Floppers finally get a W)
Brownies- 28
Texans- 14
Bungles- 10
Titanics- 31
Buncos- 7
Raydurz- 21
Lambs- 3
Crudinals- 14
(OK, never mind, this is definitely the doormat game of the week.)
Though the turkey spun to the Crudinals, I have to say, I believe the Lambs will ride the wave started last week and soak the Crudinals in Arizona.
The oracle from the basement has spoken. Gentlemen, post your predictions!

wait, which Detroit Lions team is that? the 1974 Falcons only averaged 7.9 pts. They're the modern era kings.
ReplyDeleteI think it was the 40's for the Lions. I will check.
ReplyDelete1942 Lions.
ReplyDeleteNobody noticed because start of WWII was in full swing.
ReplyDeleteSeahags- 6

Crudinals, aware that Sam Bradford may not start, are countering with back-up QB John Skelton. Gonna be a helluva game.
ReplyDeleteIf Feeley wins again, Bradford may be in trouble, and my bad season will get considerably worse.
ReplyDeleteBradford must hold onto the ball too long. Can't read his receivers, it's all going too fast or something. He leads the league in sacks. Feeley stayed off the turf most of the day last week. Crudinals are turning it up a notch, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteLook for the Deadskins to arrive in the basement sometime today around 1pm.....their entire first string is on the DL. we may need an extra couch.
ReplyDeleteYep. 9 ers ate giving them an unceremonious boot down the cellar steps. There's room on the couch, guys. Dolts are do depresed they win't come out of the utility room.
ReplyDeleteWow, I thought the Lambs were going to get the W, but they pulled out the loss. Almighty, you look good today. What's with the Buncos? They forget how to lose or did the Raiders forget how to win?
ReplyDeleteLambs just amazing. Taking care of business. Buncos played well enough, Tebow showed real poise, fought hard, didn't screw up too much, and the Rayyyyduuuurrrzzzz did all the classic recent bonehead things the Raydurz can do to lose a game. They really did them all. Name it and they did it.
ReplyDeleteLambs to slaughter...well, not really
