Here’s how competitive things are: Our first tie, at No. 5! The Browns managed to play their way off the list, and play the Bills on, by winning a 6-3 thriller in Buffalo. The Bills’ relief pitching sucks.
T5. Tennessee Titans
L: @Pittsburgh, Houston, @NYJ, @Jax, Indy
We’ve kept the Titans off this list so far, probably thanks to the close loss at Pittsburgh to open the season, but they’re 0-5 and they’ve lost to the Texans at home, fergawdsake. We probably should have done it after the embarrassment at Jacksonville, but the weak Sunday night home showing vs. Indy sealed the deal. This is another team that may just want to go to the Wildcat full time.
T5. Kansas City Chiefs
L: @Baltimore, Oakland, @Philly, NYG, Dallas
Saw the Chiefs’ retros on TV and thought Texas had invaded Missouri. Probably over barbecue. Chiefs had Dallas beat, but in the end their will to lose was too strong.
4. Buffalo Bills
W: Tampa
L: @New England, New Orleans, @Miami, Cleveland
That one-point loss at New England was a long, long time ago. The 6-3 home loss to Cleveland last weekend is a strong candidate for CrapTastic Game of the Year, right up there with the Rams-Redskins 7-6 barnburner.
3. Oakland Raiders
W: @Kansas City
L: San Diego, Denver, @Houston, @NYG
We know, we know, the Raiders won at KC in Week 2 and they’re ranked worse than the Chiefs. But we must recognize that the Raiders have momentum, or negative momentum, or something like that, you know what we mean. Combined score of last two games, at Texans and at Giants: 13-73.
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
L: Dallas, @Buffalo, NYG, @Washington, @Philly
The beatdown goes on in Tampa, where the schedule doesn’t look to offer much hope. This weekend at home against Carolina and trip to equally beleaguered Miami in early November may be Bucs’ best chances to avoid the oh-fer.
1. El Rushbo Rams
L: @Seattle, @Washington, Green Bay, @SF, Minnesota
Rams scored 10 points at home against the Farvikings and their scoring average went up. Tells you all you need to know. At least the Rams are losing to decent teams (minus the Redskins). The problem is, they’re losing really badly every time.

Tampa Bay will always be #1 in my book. Sorry, that's my bitterness talking. I'm bitter from 33 years of the NFL force feeding me crappy Bucs games because, as a cruel accident of birth, I live in their primary market. Just think of all the GOOD football games I've missed!
ReplyDeleteNow that the Bucs suck more, suck worse and suck harder at least I get to revel in their losses. Revenge is sweet.
We will admit to a similar situation from our childhood involving the Cowboys. The Cowboys were very good, mind you, but they were also utterly inescapable. Like you, we still gleefully hold a grudge.
