I went 4-1 last week, completely missing on the Tampa upset. I am now 50-19 for the season. I'll make only four picks this week and they will all be upsets.
Tampa Bay over New York (Jets)- It's Tampa at home and Kellen Clemons starts for the Jets.
Cincinnati over Minnesota- The Bengals will be fighting for the second seed up until the end of the season. The loss to the Cardinals could mean the Vikings are hitting the wall.
Buffalo over Kansas City- Would you believe the Bills have scored three more points this season than the Chiefs?
San Diego Chargers over Dallas Cowboys- It is December, ya know!
Have a great weekend!

Hump Day: Some early December Loser Rankings

1. Cleveland Browns- They just keep falling apart. They're the lowest scoring team out of all the 1-10 teams. But the worst news for the Browns has to be the loss of Shaun Rogers for the season. He was probably their only star. Things just look awful for Cleveland. I am still interested in the Browns GM position (hint drop).
2. St. Louis Rams- The Rams actually had a decent shot against the Seahawks, but it didn't work out. The good news for them is that they get a freefalling Chicago Bears team.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- I hate putting this team at #3 because they've been playing great football as of late. Josh Freeman is probably blooming flower for the Bucs. He has 793 yards passing, along with seven TD passes in five games this season. I hope he can keep this up, because Tampa needs something to look forward to.
4. Detroit Lions- Just wasn't meant to be their season. It happens you know!
5. Oakland Raiders- They're the lowest scoring team in the NFL. How can the Raiders not be on this list?
See you guys on Friday!

Hump Day: Your Loser Rankings for First Week of November
1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- They're the only NFL team without a win this season. They get Green Bay this week. Josh Freeman makes his first NFL start this Sunday. Maybe he can get Tampa their first win too.
2. Cleveland Browns- They got rid of GM George Kokinis. That said, I announced on Twitter that I was interested in the GM position. I still am Mr. Lerner. I have qualifications...Okay maybe not, but still, I can't do any worse than before.
3. St. Louis Rams- I knew they would win at some point. Every team has to win. The Lions did it earlier this year and now the Rams are in the win column.
4. Detroit Lions- The Lions find themselves back on the list. The honeymoon is over. You guys are 1-6.
5. Kansas City Chiefs- The Chiefs won a spot over the Titans this week because the Titans won over Jacksonville.
The season standings are put off until the end of the season, when we declare our winner...I mean loser.

Hump Day: Week 7 Loser Rankings

1. St. Louis Rams- So I have no idea when the Rams will win a game again. Maybe they can win against Detroit this week.
2. Tennessee Titans- Well the Titans didn't lose this week...but they didn't win either.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- They couldn't strike it big in England. The good news for Tampa is that they won't be playing this weekend. This gives Tampa time to get Josh Freeman ready to start against Green Bay.
4. Cleveland Browns- Things are just flat out awful in Cleveland. Can things get any worse?
5. Washington Redskins- The picture says it all. Monday's game was just ugly. The turnovers were uglier. Let's face it, there is no alibi for this team.
See you guys on Friday.

Hump Day: The Loser Rankings- October 7, 2009

So here we are at another week of the Loser's Rankings. And good news for Lions fans, they're not on the list. Can't say the same about the teams on this list now.
1. St. Louis Rams- You know you got it bad when Rush Limbaugh wants to buy your team.
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- The Bucs did release Mike Nugent on Tuesday...Maybe things will look up for them?
3. Cleveland Browns- They could easily be #1, but there's still a long season ahead. It could be much longer for Braylon Edwards though.
4. Tennessee Titans- They lost three close games. However, the Titans lost by 20 points to Jacksonville. I think you can understand why they're on this list now...right?
5. Kansas City Chiefs- Probably should be at #4 or higher, but they're not.
We'll have a full points update by week 6.
See you guys on Friday.

Hump Day: The Loser Rankings- The Aztec Tomb Edition

So here we are with another day for the Losers. However, this week, we're doing something different. We're going to take a look at all the teams that are currently 0-3. Is there hope still or should these teams just jump in the Aztec Tomb. Who's first!?
Miami Dolphins- So the Dolphins have no Chad Pennington for the season and their new starting quarterback is Chad Henne. But wait, the Dolphins traded for Tyler Thigpen on Tuesday.
The Dolphins are in the middle of the pack when it comes to offense and defense ranks. They have back-to-back home games. If the Dolphins split those games, they'll be 1-4 going into the bye week. The remaining non-division schedule includes Pittsburgh and New Orleans. However, the Dolphins also have games against other 0-3 teams like the Bucs, Titans and Panthers.
Verdict: I don't see the Dolphins making the playoffs, but they will win six games. So no tomb for the Dolphins.
Cleveland Browns- Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn? The problem for this team goes much deeper than the quarterback controversy. They're at the bottom of the NFL in offense and 30th defense. Things have gone from bad to worse. The Mangini Magic is not working. They have Cincy this week. The Browns have Green Bay, Chicago and San Diego still on the schedule.
Verdict: Get in the tomb! The Browns will go 2-14.
St. Louis Rams- The Rams are averaging 8 points per game. Steve Spagnulo probably should have held out for a better job. But it is what it is. They get San Francisco and Minnesota next. They have Indy, Chicago and New Orleans still left in their non-division schedule.
Verdict: Rams will go 1-15. I think it's safe for them to get in the tomb.
Tennessee Titans- All three of the Titans losses were by a combined 13 points. They've kept it close, but not close enough. Good news though Titans fans, they face Jacksonville on Sunday. New England and San Diego are on the schedule, as well as the Rams and the Dolphins.
Verdict: This might be the best 0-3 team out of the entire group. They won't win 13 games, but they still have a shot at .500. They do have the ability to go 9-7.
Kansas City Chiefs- They lost to the Raiders, which was their only winnable game. They also lost to Baltimore and Philadelphia (granted it was against Kevin Kolb). They have the Giants and the Cowboys for their next two games. The division isn't very strong (do you really think the Broncos are good enough to win the division?).
Verdict: Todd Haley will be lucky to win seven games for the Chiefs. I see them going 6-10, but no Aztec Box.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Josh Johnson starts on Sunday for the Bucs. There isn't a lot of bright spots for this team. They have Washington and Philly next. They still have the Jets and Patriots.
Verdict: 4-12, go ahead and get in the Aztec Tomb.
Carolina Panthers: Where do I begin? I have no idea what to think about this team. They should be good, but they're not...It's a bye for the Panthers this week (and it comes at a great time). They have Miami, Buffalo, Minnesota and both New York teams. It just doesn't look that good.
Verdict: 5-11, 6-10 sounds possible. I don't see it being any worse than 3-13 though.
I'll have a Loser Ranking next week for sure though.
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
The Loser Rankings: Week 2
1. St. Louis Rams- They lost 9-7 to a Washington. They've also been outscored 37-7 in two games. Things don't look very good.
2. Detroit Lions- 19 straight! My offer still stands Lions. If you win one game, you're off the list for sure by the next week.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars- Is the end drawing near for head coach Jack Del Rio? It's a road game this week, but maybe Jacksonville fans would prefer that the game was blacked out.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Central Florida is in for a long, long year.
5. Cleveland Browns- They did lose to the Broncos, ya know!
So many teams could be in the top five. Next week, we bring out the Aztec Tomb, for those teams that will start the season 0-3.
2. Detroit Lions- 19 straight! My offer still stands Lions. If you win one game, you're off the list for sure by the next week.

Friday Briefs: Time to pick some games
It finally happened, for the first time this season I went 5-0 for the week. I really nailed those picks. I'm now 25-10 for the season, which means the season is at the halfway point. Time for some week 8 picks.
Baltimore over Oakland- This seems like an obvious win for the Ravens. They need this win to keep with the Steelers in the AFC North.
Jacksonville over Cleveland- The Browns are falling apart, but then again so are the Jags.
New York (Jets) over Cincinnati- The Bengals will keep losing until they decide to win.
San Francisco over Seattle- Good luck goes out to Mike Singletary as he makes his head coaching debut for the 49ers.
UPSET PICK: Tampa Bay over Dallas- No namesake, no win.

The Mondays: A good day for Tampa

Sunday was a great day to be a citizen of Tampa. The Rays won the AL Pennant and are playing in their first World Series in franchise history. A big congratulations goes out to them, here at Oh No Romo. However, this is a football blog. We talk football here.
SUNDAY NIGHT RECAP: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20 - Seattle Seahawks 10- Sunday night was by far a big night for quarterback Jeff Garcia. Garcia threw for 310 yards and one touchdown in the win. The lone touchdown pass went to receiver Antonio Bryant. The Bucs are now 5-2 and tied for first in the NFC South. If the Bucs go through Dallas and KC, they will go 7-2 into their bye week. I'd have to say things are going well.
ROMO ALERT: St. Louis Rams 34 - Dallas Cowboys 14- No Tony Romo, no win? It could be the case. You can't deny that the Rams have been playing good football though. Steven Jackson had a HUGE day for the Rams. Jackson ran for three touchdowns and 160 yards rushing. The Rams have knocked off two NFC East teams in a row. Coach Jim Haslett could very well save this season for the Rams.
Chicago Bears 48 - Minnesota Vikings 41- The Bears are an offensive fire power. Kyle Orton threw for 280 yards on Sunday with two touchdown passes. The Bears special teams deserve the credit for the win on Sunday though. Two touchdowns were scored on miscues by the Vikings special teams. The first came when punter Chris Kluwe dropped the snap, with Garrett Wolfe recovering the fumble and returning it 17 yards. The second came on a fumble by Charles Gordon, with Zackary Bowman scoring the touchdown.
Monday Night Prediction: Denver over New England

The Mondays: Emotional day for Bryant

Week four saw many great moments. Some were good, some very emotional, some even surprising.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30 - Green Bay Packers 21- This day belonged to Bucs kicker Matt Bryant, who lost his infant son unexpectedly earlier last week. Bryant kicked three key field goals, including a 24-yard go-ahead in the fourth quarter to help the Bucs win. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Bryant. He goes out on Sunday and plays. Should he have stayed home? I don't know because it is not up to me. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bryant and his wife during these tough times.
Buffalo Bills 31 - St. Louis Rams 14- The Rams are falling apart. Even the Rams know that they are unraveling. The Rams actually led this game at halftime, but they were shut out in the second half. Meanwhile, the Bills are in good shape, despite two straight scares against the Raiders and the Rams. However, a win against Arizona next week will put the Bills at 5-0 for the season, going into the bye week.
San Diego 28 - Oakland Raiders 18- So...Is Lane Kiffen going to be fired now? I give the Raiders credit, they stuck with the Chargers. This team has a lot of potential, but we'll see what happens now. I don't think Al Davis will fire him. I could be senile with that thought.
Romo Alert: Washington Redskins 26 - Dallas Cowboys 24- Okay, even I admit that I never saw this coming. The big story has to be the defense on the Cowboys side. They couldn't stop Jason Campbell in the air and they couldn't stop Clinton Portis on the ground. Are teams starting to figure out the Cowboys defense?
Sunday Night Recap: Bears defeat Eagles- I never saw this coming either. This was a defensive battle, but the offenses weren't that bad. Kyle Orton threw three touchdown passes on Sunday night, which only happens once in a blue moon. The Bears are now tied for first in the North with the win.
Monday Night Prediction: Pittsburgh over Baltimore

NFL Preview Show Extravaganza Double Feature: Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers
Today is our last day of the month and a half long look at the preview of all 32 teams. This is saddening because I've had so much fun with these previews. I did what I could and did it gosh darn it! Hey, it was a fun ride and I hope you enjoyed these previews. They've certainly kept me busy since mid-July. Don't worry, I have every intention of keeping the previews going next year. So don't shed a tear, I have this day for you guys. Today enjoy this combo. Sorry if it seems mashed together.
What do the Bucs and Packers have in common? If you said they don't have Brett Favre then you're right on the money. However, that's not what I'm talking about. Both teams won their respective divisions last season and both teams lost to the New York Giants in the playoffs.
Only the Packers have a better team all around. The Bucs are a team that played well in 2007, but decided to slow up for the playoffs once the division was clinched. This ultimately led to the Bucs being trounced at home to the Giants on Wild Card weekend.
The Packers took a 13-3 record in the regular season all the way to the NFC title game. In sub zero temperatures, the Packers stood toe-to-toe with the Giants. Ultimately, the Giants had their way and the Packers lost the game.
Believe it or not, the Packers and the Bucs will face each other this season, which is probably why Brett Favre isn't in Tampa. The Packers play Indy, Dallas and New Orleans. The Bucs play KC, Dallas and San Diego.
Once more for these previews in 2008, it's time for those burnin' questions (yearbook style):

- Better season: Rodgers or Garcia: Rodgers
- Passing yards for each: Rodgers- 2900 and Garcia 2800
- Better rusher, Grant or Graham: Ryan Grant- 1013 yards
- Better receiver: I have no clue
- Better defense: Packers only because they are younger
- Who lasts longer, McCarthy or Gruden: McCarthy
- Coolest names on both teams (Top 4): Jovan Haye (TB), Jeremy Trueblood (TB), Atari Bigby (GB) and Mason Crosby (GB)
- 80s song to best describe both teams: (I've Had) The Time of My Life- Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes (AND I OWE IT ALL TO YOUUUU!!!!)
- For the last time this year, both teams will: Miss the playoffs

The Best of the Mondays: Week 2
So I'm doing week two of the Best of the Mondays. It is very exciting. I'm happy to do it. Oh, how it seemed to be so long ago. Matt Schaub was turning into a household name. The Giants started 0-2, GASP! So kick back, and enjoy.
Oh No Romo
- Houston Texans defeated the Carolina Panthers, 34-21- How about Matt Schaub, two touchdown passes and 228 yards passing. How about Andre Johnson, seven catches, 120 yards and two touchdowns. This team might surprise a lot of people come playoff time. Their next test will come against Indy at home, do I smell an upset?- Well it's the Colts.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New Orleans Saints, 31-14- The Saints knocked me out of a Survival Pool. Thanks guys- Oh those Bucs! I'm never picking the Saints in a survival pool again.
- Arizona Cardinals defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 23-20- This is a joke, right?- How strange is it to see the Seahawks lose?
- Green Bay Packers destroyed the New York Giants, 35-14- I'm not a Brett Favre fan or a Packers fan, but Favre is certainly a winner- Don't worry, the re-match is better.
- ROMO ALERT: Tony Romo threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins- Yep......
- Monday Night Pick: Washington Redskins over Philadelphia Eagles- Yay!

Week 16- Dec. 18, 20, 21 and 22
Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars- This game could very well have playoff implications.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans- We have another game with playoff implications. It could very well be a win and get in for the Titans- 1 PM ET on CBS

Week 17- Dec. 28
Just a personal note, I have no intentions of posting the times to these games, because the Sunday Night game will be selected the week of. I'm not about to assume anything at this point.
Oakland Raiders at Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Are you like me and wondering how will Jon Gruden coach against his old team?
New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills- 16-0 anybody?
Kansas City Chiefs at Cincinnati Bengals- What? This was the only other non-divisional game, besides Oakland-TB.
That's all I have.
I hope you enjoyed this presentation and stay tuned for my best of "The Mondays."
I'll keep you guys up to date on any news that might cross the wires and I'll get you ready for the NFL Preview Show Extravaganza.

How Wrong Am I? (The NFC Edition)
The NFL season is officially over. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DAMN IT WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Sorry folks, I'm good now. Since the season is over, it is time to do an entire recap on my picks for how each team team would do this season. Now we will play the game otherwise known as, HOW WRONG AM I? Today, the NFC edition.
NFC East (Early Season Predictions)
Philadelphia Eagles 12-4 (Division Winner)
New York Giants 9-7 (Wild Card)
Washington Redskins 8-8
Dallas Cowboys 7-9
NFC East (Final Results)
Dallas Cowboys 13-3 (Division Winner)
New York Giants 10-6 (Wild Card)
Washington Redskins (9-7)
Philadelphia Eagles 8-8
Analysis: I'm not entirely off-base here. My first and fourth place picks were wrong, but I'm not entirely wrong for the most part. Here are some burning questions I have for the NFC East, next year:
Can the Cowboys repeat their regular season success?
Will Jim Zorn being named coach help or hurt the Redskins?
Can the Giants win the division next year?
How will the Eagles improve their offense?
NFC South (Early Season Predictions)
New Orleans Saints 13-3 (Division Winner)
Carolina Panthers 8-8
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-9
Atlanta Falcons 4-12
NFC South (Final Results)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9-7
Carolina Panthers 7-9
New Orleans Saints 7-9
Atlanta Falcons 4-12
Analysis: Hey, I nailed the Falcons record. Other than that, the other three were somewhat close. I didn't anticipate the Saints starting the season 0-4. I do have some questions for next year:
How much longer will Jon Gruden be in Tampa?
How much longer will John Fox be in Carolina?
Will Vinny Testaverde come back? (I say yes)
Will the Saints improve their defense in the offseason?
Will the Falcons win the NFC South, or will the last place chain break?
NFC North (Early Season Predictions)
Chicago Bears 11-5 (Division Winner)
Green Bay Packers 9-7
Minnesota Vikings 8-8
Detroit Lions 5-11
NFC North (Final Results)
Green Bay Packers 13-3 (Division Winner)
Minnesota Vikings 8-8
Detroit Lions 7-9
Chicago Bears 7-9
Analysis: Clearly, I was wrong about this division. The Bears fall although not surprising, still caught me off guard. I was right about the Vikings going 8-8 and I wouldn't be surprised to see them end up with the same record in 2008. Come on people, did you really think the Lions would win 10 games? Burnin for you questions:
Will the cheeseheads reign supreme in Tampa?
Will 2008 be the breakout year for Tarvaris Jackson? (If he starts)
Will Detroit go defense in the first round of the NFL Draft?
Who becomes the new Bears quarterback in 2008?
NFC West (Early Season Predictions)
San Francisco 49ers 10-6 (Division Winner)
St. Louis Rams 10-6 (Wild Card)
Seattle Seahawks 9-7
Arizona Cardinals 6-10
NFC West (Final Results)
Seattle Seahawks 10-6
Arizona Cardinals 8-8
San Francisco 49ers 5-11
St. Louis Rams 3-13
Analysis: What needs to be said? It was terrible. My worst picks. I can't say anymore. BURNING QUESTIONS...
Will 2008 be the year the Seahawks NOT win the division?
Will the Cardinals win 10 games?
Will the 49ers score a touchdown?
Will the Rams win?
That's all I have. I'll do the AFC tomorrow.
See ya
Nos

Analysis: I'm not entirely off-base here. My first and fourth place picks were wrong, but I'm not entirely wrong for the most part. Here are some burning questions I have for the NFC East, next year:
Can the Cowboys repeat their regular season success?
Will Jim Zorn being named coach help or hurt the Redskins?
Can the Giants win the division next year?
How will the Eagles improve their offense?
NFC South (Early Season Predictions)
New Orleans Saints 13-3 (Division Winner)
Carolina Panthers 8-8
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-9
Atlanta Falcons 4-12
NFC South (Final Results)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9-7
Carolina Panthers 7-9
New Orleans Saints 7-9
Atlanta Falcons 4-12
Analysis: Hey, I nailed the Falcons record. Other than that, the other three were somewhat close. I didn't anticipate the Saints starting the season 0-4. I do have some questions for next year:
How much longer will Jon Gruden be in Tampa?
How much longer will John Fox be in Carolina?
Will Vinny Testaverde come back? (I say yes)
Will the Saints improve their defense in the offseason?
Will the Falcons win the NFC South, or will the last place chain break?
NFC North (Early Season Predictions)
Chicago Bears 11-5 (Division Winner)
Green Bay Packers 9-7
Minnesota Vikings 8-8
Detroit Lions 5-11
NFC North (Final Results)
Green Bay Packers 13-3 (Division Winner)
Minnesota Vikings 8-8
Detroit Lions 7-9
Chicago Bears 7-9
Analysis: Clearly, I was wrong about this division. The Bears fall although not surprising, still caught me off guard. I was right about the Vikings going 8-8 and I wouldn't be surprised to see them end up with the same record in 2008. Come on people, did you really think the Lions would win 10 games? Burnin for you questions:
Will the cheeseheads reign supreme in Tampa?
Will 2008 be the breakout year for Tarvaris Jackson? (If he starts)
Will Detroit go defense in the first round of the NFL Draft?
Who becomes the new Bears quarterback in 2008?
NFC West (Early Season Predictions)
San Francisco 49ers 10-6 (Division Winner)
St. Louis Rams 10-6 (Wild Card)
Seattle Seahawks 9-7
Arizona Cardinals 6-10
NFC West (Final Results)
Seattle Seahawks 10-6
Arizona Cardinals 8-8
San Francisco 49ers 5-11
St. Louis Rams 3-13
Analysis: What needs to be said? It was terrible. My worst picks. I can't say anymore. BURNING QUESTIONS...
Will 2008 be the year the Seahawks NOT win the division?
Will the Cardinals win 10 games?
Will the 49ers score a touchdown?
Will the Rams win?
That's all I have. I'll do the AFC tomorrow.
See ya

Friday Briefs: Picks and More
Happy Friday to you all. Keep in mind, I wrote this on a Thursday afternoon because I am going home for Fall Break. I won't be back on Sunday, therefore no College Football Updates are planned.
Last Sunday, I went 2-3 *keeps head down* and now I am 20-14 this season. I could use a little luck on my picks. What am I picking for this week?
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Jacksonville Jaguars- I picked the Jags before I picked against them. With David Garrard out, I think the Bucs have a better shot.
- New York Giants over Miami Dolphins- I feel bad for the city of London, they get to deal with Tony Siragusa.
- Pittsburgh Steelers over Cincinnati Bengals- Cheer up Cincy fans, at least Chris Henry can practice.
- Chicago Bears over Detroit Lions- The Lions D are about to get Griese'D (Made that up)
- A DOUBLE UPSET SPECIAL: Washington Redskins over New England Patriots AND Carolina Panthers over Indianapolis Colts- This may just be my stupidest picks yet.

The Monday's: Matt Schaub Rules
Oh the excitement of week two in the NFL. The Plethora of storylines should keep you guys satisfied.
Here are the storylines from Week 2.
Here are the storylines from Week 2.
- Houston Texans defeated the Carolina Panthers, 34-21- How about Matt Schaub, two touchdown passes and 228 yards passing. How about Andre Johnson, seven catches, 120 yards and two touchdowns. This team might surprise a lot of people come playoff time. Their next test will come against Indy at home, do I smell an upset?
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New Orleans Saints, 31-14- The Saints knocked me out of a Survival Pool. Thanks guys.
- Arizona Cardinals defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 23-20- This is a joke, right?
- Green Bay Packers destroyed the New York Giants, 35-14- I'm not a Brett Favre fan or a Packers fan, but Favre is certainly a winner.
- ROMO ALERT: Tony Romo threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
- Monday Night Pick: Washington Redskins over Philadelphia Eagles.

Thursday's: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Today, we continue with the Bucs. They finished the season 4-12, in last place in the NFC South.
They drafted DE Gaines Adams in the 2007 draft. The Bucs start the season on the road, as they travel to the Northwest and face the defending NFC West champion, Seahawks. The Bucs will also face the Rams and the Jaguars at home, and the 49ers and Colts on the road.
Time for some burnin Yearbook Style questions:
