Predictions Week Deux: Reality Bites


Nathan Petermen puts on a historic Doormat performance in just a few snaps. Here he tries to review the play he just botched while getting sacked by the Ravens. Nathan, ya gotta read the play BEFORE the snap.

Whoa, the Bungles already played...and WON!  The Oracle therefore predicts Ravens 23, Bengals 34.

And now for some actual predictions. In Week I we saw a lot of surprise performances, and even some big wins by our Doormats, but this week reality will sink in like a 6 penny nail through the sole of your Red Wing boots. Ouch.

But before we spin the frozen turkey and make our predictions, a quick list of the 5 worst quarterback performances of Week I (from worst worst to 5th worst):

  1. Ben Rothlisberger (because he should be a lot better than just OK)
  2. Derek Carr (he is hearing ghost elephants behind the pocket. I can't make fun of that)
  3. Matthew Stafford (Four interceptions. Doormat gold. Kittens are baaack)
  4. Nathan Petermen, passer rating, “0” (Look for sacrificial lamb on Wikipedia and you see a photo of him taking a snap). Bills made a strong statement in week one: “We will make only bad decisions this season.”
  5. Jimmy Garoppolo- The honeymoon might be over. The win streak definitely is.

And the predictions....

Colts- 12
Redskins- 14
Game of the week! Oh, oh, Skins might be 2-0.

Texans- 21
Titans- 17

Eagles - 36
Buccaneers- 12
Sorry, Ryan, reality is coming like a brick wall.

Dolphins- 10
Jets- 36
D'Arnold says, “I’ll be back.”

Chargers- 42
Bills- 7

Browns- 15
Saints- 33
1-1-33, wow

Lions- 16
49ers- 17
This one is worth watching. A game no one will appear to want to win

Raiders- 14
Broncos- 21
Did not think Raiders would be a doormat this year, but plunk, here they are.

Giants- 14
Cowboys- 17
Stinker of the week!

Seahawks- 24
Bears- 17
A team that might be a doormat defeats a team that is a doormat.

    3. Hey I figured out that the new Chrome (GOOGLE's own browser!) is the problem. If I use Safari, I can comment no problem. How ironic.

    2. Considering the Saints went 11-5 last year, they should have a tougher schedule. They are playing the entire AFC North this year. The Bucs were supposed to be better, but that's asking a lot.
