WEEK 6 CARNAGE

October 15th, 2008

There’s a really worn-out axiom that says, “Misery loves company”. And I certainly hate to drag out a really worn-out axiom, but for this week, that certainly applies to practically most of the NFL’s front runners’ fans. (as well as the CSS’s picks) Think you’re feeling alone in your angst, PantherFanz?

Naaaaaaaaaaah Ah!

Yep, we got our ass handed to us by a determined Bucs team. It happens. When the dust settled, and the disappointment began to wane, I realized that MOST NFL teams that got to the championship games and ultimately The Super Bowl had a stinker in their regular season. (Except the Pastry-Rots last year- remember what happened to THEM!!??) And boy, was there some stinkers this week!

Even without Tommy B, the Patsies were supposedly good enough to get back to the playo- OOPS! Sorry Coach Mora, I almost did it. The Chargers exposed them, period. Their defense is old, the secondary suspect, and Matt Cassle is just an average quarterback. Denver, at home, got fanny-paddled by the Jag-you-whyers. The supposedly unstoppable offense got stopped. And in miserable fashion. The Vikings, could BARELY beat a MISERABLE Ly-uns team. If Orlashavsky, or whatever his name is, doesn’t run out of the endzone early in the game, perhaps the Ly-uns get their first win. And ohhhhhhhhhhhhh-

The mighty NFC “Beast”-

Embarrassed.

Publicly humiliated.

The DeadSkins, anointed as the challenger to the NooYawk GEEEEEEEEEmen- Beaten, AT HOME, by the WINLESS LAMBS! The GEEEEEEEEEmen- got enmasculated by the ClevelandLand BROWNIES! The G’ints game was dormant on a national stage, on both sides of the ball. And ohhhh- the sweetest misery of all, SQUARELY on…. ***AHEM*** ****KOFF**** ***KOFF****

“Americas’ Team”

The Dallas Cowbabies.

They were outplayed for most of the game by the Cardy-noles, and exposed on top of that. Add to that, the loss of Romo The Homo, Felix Jones, and Matt McBriar, the suspension of Adam Jones, and you’ve got all the ingredients of an implosion.

So, PantherFanz-

You still feel terrible?

I’m not like James, who swore he wasn’t listening to the radio after that abomination of a game. I wanted to hear EVERYTHING. Out of all of the haterade being spewed this week, who’s getting the biggest glass? Sure ‘aint us. What I’m seeing and hearing about OUR game is how good the Bucs played. That victory isn’t registering around the league like that misery that’s piling on the Cowpuppies. Or the surprise of the GEEEEEEEEEmen’s defeat. Where’s the love for the resurgent Colts?

The teams in the NFC “BEAST” are getting practically ALL of the attention, which, frankly, most of us would agree, is the way we’d want it.

We’re back out of the spotlight, where we tend to excel, until Coach Mora lets us talk about, well, you know…..

Now, if we blow it against the Saints this Sunday, and that’s a distinct possibility, all bets are off. But let’s go back to the “Champions playing a stinker” angle again- As it applies to the Panthers- Our Super Bowl season? Thumped at home by the Titans. And beaten by the Duckies. Our ’05 season? Clocked by DaBears. I’m confident that last Sunday was just that. Come out and play, James- it’s safe to come outside, and cheer the ‘Cats.

The rest of the lot is.

Back on Friday, with, ehhhhhhhhherrrrrrrrrrrrgghhhhhhhhhh!

The picks.

****shudder****
