The NFL's Worst: The Sad Sack Seven Week Ten

On the picture above Kansas City Chief Coach Herm Edward has that look of horror, which is normally reserved for B-list actors about to be eaten by a giant space monster in some bad B grade 1950's science fiction horror tale.

That's they type of season its been in Kansas City, no matter what they do the monster always seems to eat them at the end of the game.

Meanwhile in the Motor City, the Detroit Lions look like they are just jiving and jamming along to the long time Lion's losing groove. It's become a way of life, losing is second nature to those tame Cats.

1] Detroit Lions 0-8

The only glimmer of hope for the reeling Lions is that another breed of bad cat is coming to town, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jack Del Rio worked his magic against the winless Cincinnati Bengals, maybe he can get the Lions in the win column this week too.

2] Kansas city Chiefs 1-7

Even in Herm Edwards long, losing string, dropping 16 of his last 17 games, blowing a 24-3 lead has to rank high in raising the bile of Chief faithful.

Have faith Chief, Norv Turner's and his spectacularly underachieving San Diego Chargers loom and if Norv knows anything it's how to lose games he should win.

3] Oakland Raiders 2-6 

What a marvelous mess. If gaining only 79 total yards in front of a half empty stadium filled with boo birds wasn't enough, the Raiders cut high priced free agent bust CB DeAngelo Hall.

After paying him eight million for eight games. Just lose, baby. And lose large.

Hire a General Manager, baby.

4] Jacksonville Jaguars 3-5

The biggest disappointment east of San Diego is the Jaguars. Jack Del Rio has lost his team. Not that's a very big loss, as they seem to be a boringly bad, undisciplined bunch.

The Jaguars players don't seem to mind losing, but seem highly upset at music and cell phones being banned by Jacksonville Jack.

It's time to break out the old Florida tree stump motivational tool and let the players start whacking themselves on the shins again with an ax.  

5] San Diego Chargers 3-5

These guys were dreaming Super Bowl, but are playing like they are in a stupor. Norv Turner says they are prepped for a second half run, followed, of course, by his usual sudden first round playoff exit.

6] Cincinnati Bengals 1-8

Sure they out foxed Del Rio, but they are still the Bungles.

7] Tie San Francisco 49ers  2-6 and Seattle Seahawks 2-6

When did the west of the NFL get so horrible?

The Seattle Seahawks have quit on lame-duck coach Mike Holmgren, who has vowed to borrow a tool from the Mike Singletary motivational speaker box and give his pregame pep talk pantless while dressed as Matt Foley, motivational speaker.

Matt Foley:(while furiously pumping his arms) Now you kids are probably asking yourselves 'Hey Matt how can we get back on the right track!?'

The San Francisco Forty Niners coach Singletary responded that he would coach completely naked until the Niners prove they can stop embarrassing him on game day. 

Which begs the question which old coach taught Mike the pants dropping trick, Buddy Ryan or Mike Ditka?

Forget that. No one really wants the image of a bare assed, Buddy Ryan bawling out his boys at halftime burned in their mind.
