The Lions won a game, completing their rise from historically bad to merely crappy. Remember when you used to actively search for a Lions score, wanting to see whether they would stretch the streak one game further? Those days are gone, my friend, and so is the Lions’ hideous mystique. They’re just another bad NFL team. They didn’t even make the CrapTastic5.
5. Washington Redskins
There are several more teams out there at 0-3, but the 1-2 Redskins earned this through their lack of hard work, preparation or ownership humility. There’s that whole losing-to-a-team-that-hadn’t-won-in-a-couple-of-years thing, and the 9-7 home victory over the Rams two weeks ago was as good as a loss in our book.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Given that Florida is 1-8 in the NFL this year, somebody has to represent. Jax actually won this week (at Houston -- oooh) and Miami came close against the Colts a couple of weeks ago, so hello, Bucs!
3. Kansas City Chiefs
Anybody can go to Philly and get whacked, even against their backup QB and their felonious backup backup. But that loss at home to the Raiders a couple of weeks ago -- now that, that was special.
2. St. Louis Rams
Man, we thought Florida was bad NFL territory this year. Get a load of Missouri. The Rams are the new Lions. Or maybe the old Lions. We’re thinking nothing short of a zombie attack at the visiting team’s hotel is going to get the Rams a W this season.
1. Cleveland Browns
A thoroughly CrapTastic performance at Baltimore earns the Browns the top spot this week. It is the first time the Browns have lost to a team that’s actually good (are the Broncos the worst 3-0 team in NFL history?), but they put up so little fight in doing so that we wonder whether Mangini is already packing for his pending move to the Old Belichick Assistants’ Home. One blogger suggested chucking the QBs and going all Wildcat, all the time -- count us in!
Circling the drain: Raiders, Panthers, Titans (but not the Lions!)
