Arizona is expected to feast like carrion on a dying San Francisco season. 49ers are rocketing to the bottom after an impressive, methodical, get everything wrong every time dismantling of what was supposed to be a dynasty. Our hats are off to what is probably the worst NFL organization--and team--of 2015. |
Not to be outdone, Cowpies serve up a stinker and the Panthers crush Dallas 33-14. This game may turn out to be the Turkey of the Week. Romo leaves the game after re-injuring his shoulder, so the Cowpies will not be getting out of the basement this year and are now a solid contender for the Moldy Carpet.
And Green Bay continues it's swan dive, losing to a weak Chicago Bears 17-13 in a doormat quality performance. What's with the Pack, anyway?
And now we move on to the doormat predictions for the rest of week 12 in the NFL:
Arizona- 35
San Francisco- 7
To ease the pain we post a baseball photo from a game where the Giants beat the Dbacks 8-2. Memories, memories, memories...
St. Louis- 14
Cincinnati- 22
Oakland- 27
Tennessee- 26
San Diego- 21
Jacksonville- 25
New Orleans- 28
Houston- 33
Baltimore- 16
Cleveland- 20
New York Giants- 17
Washington- 15
New York Jets- 17
Miami- 13
And, wow, Tampa Bay and Indianapolis are both at 5-5 so this is technically not a doormat game, but it feels like one because the Dolts are mired in mediocrity this year and the Boots--who have a rookie named Jameis who is on fire right now--are on the rise but feel ready to stumble. So the Oracle predicts:
Tampa Bay- 24
Indianapolis- 21
The Oracle has spoken! Gentlemen, make your predictions.
Cleveland vs. Baltimore.......whoa. Johnny Foosball may finally win a game. The Chars should lose to the Jags handily. I don't know if the Bootineers can be counted on to win 3 in a row. It took 2 years to win 2 in a row. I'm picking COLTS.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, but that Giants pic reminds me of how I really think of the Niners as being NOT in San Francisco. Yes, they are truly two counties away, but it seems even more removed somehow.
I can't catch a break with Houston. New Orleans HAS to beat them, but Houston has a D and NOLA does not. Says here TJ Yates' comeback train stops here. Saints tag them with the loss.
Jets- Flops will have to be the STiff of the Week, and I have no idea who is pulling that one out.
got some good stinkers to watch this week, titanic/Raidurz, Brownies/Cravens, Flops/Nyets, Gags/Chars, Boots/Dolts, All doormat all the time, we need a new TV network for our games. NPFL network (national punt and fumble league)
ReplyDeleteand perhaps we should include nils/cheaps.
The Cheaps are at 5-5, but they sure aren't playing like it. They are the turnaround team of the season, so far. Of course, i'm sure the Browns are going to win the rest of their games from here on out. I mean, that's a given.
DeleteThe Raiders have returned, in case nobody's noticed. I can't say for certain the Titanics are going to get the loss on Sunday. The Raider secondary is a land of inexact science, and they've stopped scoring points. And the pass rush can disappear for weeks. Mariota, if he gets time, will kill them. Of course, he's only three sacks off the league lead (36 laid on the Brownies), so the Silver and Blacked Out may get some gifts they can't refuse.
ReplyDeleteThe Rams may be the most interesting team on the slate- they have a passing offense rated so low, their Expected Points Contributed By Offense is -33.30. That's right - MINUS 33. The 49ers are next in line at -1.04. How do you have MINUS 33??
ReplyDeleteMiami may be able to out-foul the Jets for the loss. They lead the league in penalties (combined) with 170 for a whopping 1431 yards. They've killed more drives than menopause.
ReplyDeleteThe Rams need to move back to LA, then the Cardinals back to St. Louis and Jacksonville needs to go west to the Phoenix area...If Portland had any vision whatsoever, they would make a play for the Raiders or Chargers. That is the only way to change some of the VooDoo for these teams.
ReplyDeletehey - the browns moved to Baltimore anything can happen. I like the idea of Rams going back to LA and the Chargers going to Portland, but they won’t do a publicly funded stadium there in all likelihood, City is just a little too progressive . Cardinals have been doing OK in Glendale, its Glendale thats not doing OK... Stadium has bankrupted that city. And Jags should just stay put - the beach town deserves them, but St.louis would still need a team, so maybe expansion?
