Wow, who left that salmon out? I like a nice hunk of fish and a cold beer as much as anybody, even Sushi, but not raw and weeks old. I guess we will be eating stale chips and fresh jars of salsa this weekend.
And speaking of bad fish smell, there are some teams that are not passing the sniff test; chief among them would be the NY Giants, who many pundits listed as a Super Bowl possibility this year. Maybe they were eating this fish.
And who else? The Toxins, Crudinals, Bungles, Seahags, and Fins are all seriously underperforming. Ravens and Steelers look shaky too. I think I saw all of them on the patio last night, standing in the rain, and peering in at the couch. Not yet guys, well, maybe the Giants. Yeah, sure, Giants, you can take a load off and flop on the couch for the rest of the season.
There were also some QBs not exactly making the sniff test last week as well. Or maybe it’s their O-lines.
Sure, Kizer of CLE was to be expected, but look at the bottom five passer ratings for Week 3 (from worst to least worst, attempts/completions, yards, passer rating). Four of these guys you would never expect:
Joe Flacco, BAL, 8/18, 28 yds., 12
Philip Rivers, LAC, 20/40, 237 yds., 37.2
Cam Newton, CAR, 17/26, 167 yds., 43.8
Deshone Kizer, CLE, 22/47, 242 yds., 50.1
Derek Carr, OAK, 19/31, 118 yds., 52.9
Whoa, Flacco! That must have taken a lot of effort. A 12? 28 yards passing? Is there a strategy here?
I would say Chargers, Carolina, Indianapolis, and Cleveland are facing a death sentence by week 6.
But now it’s week 4, and we load the frozen turkey launcher for the following prognostications!
Bears- 18
Packers-21
(Bears back in form, Packers still struggling)
Saints- 33
Dolphins- 10
Titans- 14
Toxins- 13
Jaguars- 24
Jets-21
Bills-10
Falcons-42
Steelers- 21
Ravens-14
Bengals- 10
Browns- 17
(Whoa, Brownies riding the crest of an almost 2-game winning streak)
Eagles- 28
Chargers-17
Giants- 24
Buccaneers- 30
49ers- 17
Cardinals- 21
Colts- 9
Seahawks- 17
at least Flacco's rating went up from 0.5
ReplyDeleteI dunno, going out on a limb, predicting the Jags will win two in a row. Of course, predicting the Jets to win two in a row is even more insane, so yes on the Jags. Just my luck I'd switch to the Hags and they dial up the Colts for the next game.
ReplyDeleteor worse you could’ve switched to the bungles and they play the blank hazmat suits
DeleteJets could win this game. But calling the Jags in a close one. The end will be something bizarre.
DeleteThe Jags should win big. That would be in keeping with the Bizarro NFL we are experiencing. Suddenly, the Skins/Chiefs game looms large as an indicator. In this Bizarro World, The Lambs could win the NFC West, The Raiders could lose on any Sunday, Monday, Thursday, or Saturday, nobody is afraid of The Patriots, The Steelers suck, The Cowboys could go 7-9, the Pack is hack, The Broncos are bunk, and The Seahawks smell like old socks. You gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteYet, through it all, the Browns endure.
DeleteThe Bears were BEYOND back in form tonight.
