Falcons doing their best to score double digit points someday

I admitted last Sunday that I think that my Dolphins are the worst team in football. The reality of it hurts, much like a prostate exam from this fine gentleman, but this team sucks some big goat testicles right now. Well, after giving it some thought, I'll go out on a limb and say that the Dolphins are not the absolute worst team out there right now.

Minnesota tried Brooks Bollinger on Sunday, meaning that they should be banned to the Arena League. The Chiefs are a hazzard to everyone's eye sight, as is J.P. Losman and the Bills...but there's one team that's really shitting themselves uncontrollably. You guessed it, Peter King's fantasy team the Atlanta Falcons....

In the first two games, Miami has at least scored a combined 33 points. Atlanta's woeful offense has managed just 10 points and I don't think we can be surprised since Joey Harrington is lining up back there. The Falcons have realized that they probably need to score double digits in a game at some point this season and have decided to sign Byron Leftwich and kicker Morten Andersen. Thrilling.

Leftwich is definitely an upgrade over Harrington but that's not saying much because right now Pat Summerall would be an upgrade over Harrington. I believe Leftwich will be starting soon, but I'll still rank Atlanta a tad below Miami.

Why you ask? Well, both teams have anemic offenses, crappy offensive lines, first year head coaches, receivers that like to play "drop" and quarterbacks that don't scare anyone. Only difference is that Miami has a much stronger defense and it would probably lead to Miami winning if both teams lined up against each other right now.(that's what I'm trying to convince myself)

Actually, if those two teams lined up tomorrow, they're collective crap fest would create some sort of time space continuum breach and the universe would implode, taking Peyton Manning and his massive forehead with it.

So yeah, at least we're not the most pathetic of the bunch. Thanks Mike Vick. Couldn't have done it without your fine career choices.
