And another invert mirror score 13-31. Not long ago, this would have been an epic Doormat struggle. Not any more. The Carolina Panthers have cleared .500 for the first time in five years, and the Tampa Bay Bootineers rush in to take up the space left on our sofa in the Basement. And, BOY, do they look comfortable.
They even brought us all these super cool plastic magnetic can cozies. 'Fish can put it up on the metal plate in his forehead and use it like a drainage cup, were his head to start leaking.
0-7 for the seventh time in franchise history. Losers of 12 of their last 13. No turnovers, only 5 punts, but 51 passes and no touchdowns until 3 minutes left in the game- a garbage time TD, when the Panthers were already pouring Gatorade on each other.
Is there anybody they can beat? Why would they want to? In two weeks the Dolphins come to town on a Monday night, a Doormat Marquee headliner. After that, the Bills on Dec.8th, and then the Lambs on Dec. 22nd. The Lambs could be in complete Doormat Monster mode by then, and the Bucs may win a game. Those three are all that's left between them and a date with History, becoming the only franchise to lose them all TWICE.
C'mon BUCS!!!!!
Bucs v Lambs is why we watch football. "Let's make doormat together" is the new ad line. I've got that date circled on the calendar and will clear the schedule. Sweet beans and cellar dreams! jg
