Let’s get right to it-
Pitt at Buff: Martavis should get a significant amount of time because he’s out for the more realer games. 35(!) year old dog’s life-fucker Vick is likely to get some reps as well. 35. Where did the years go, Mike? Oh yeah, prison. Better than Landry Jones I guess. ESPN ranks the Steelers 5th in terms of talent under the age of 25.
It’s E.J. Manuel’s turn to try and tame the wild beast that is the Bills O. The NFL’s biggest jawbreaker, Enemkpali, looks as though he will stick with the club. If you’ve got nothing to do this afternoon you could probably play rb for the Bills in the 4th quarter. Harvin has another hip injury-I think he’ll just move his comfiest chair on to the injury list and leave it there. Buffalo’s D-line looks awesome.
Atl. at Mia.: Here’s a backfield with potential. Smith can break any run, Freeman is a 3 down back coming into his own and rook Tevin Coleman is ridiculously fast AND quick. (there is a difference) However there’s tons of worry concerning the O-line and their blocking ability. Sean Renfree, it was nice knowing you. I think Julio is going to get Megatron levels of attention from Ryan and opposing D’s because it seems like Roddy is slowing down a fair bit at 33.
Tannehill looks better and better each game and I think Miller at rb will benefit the most. Never sleep on rb’s from the U of Miami. Cameron at te should also benefit from stability at the qb position. He’s a sneaky fantasy pick. Will The Dirty Sue make the Fin D ornery? I’m guessing yes and I think they need some sort of identity.
Clev. at Tampa: No Manziel no fun. Sir Duke of Johnson makes his debut. No one is surprised that the Brownies are 0-2. Terrelle Pryor as a wr? Good luck buddy. Bark Mingo, which is a great name for a hard as nails, whiskey-drinking P.I. with woman troubles, will not be playing. Boo. Here’s some sad sack stuff-the te battle is between Barnidge, Housler and Bibb.
Poor Gerald McCoy, a great talent wasted on a perpetually treading water team. Winston is damn lucky to have a wr set like Evans and Jackson to bail him out. After that the drop off in talent is precipitous however. From my perspective, management has taken the bold stance of not valuing the te spot, like, at all. How would you like to be stuck with a Rainey or James if Martin were to get injured? (100% chance)
Min. at Dal: Minny must, must, must take advantage of Johnson and Wallace’s down field speed to stretch the opposing D. AP should take care of the rest. I think this is his last shot at a monster year and if he stays healthy he will do it. Who names their son “Captain”? Looking over the D, they seem to have talent throughout the line, at lb and in the secondary: they might be an under rated unit.
Dez is out but COLE BEASLEY is in. I don’t think he can go anywhere in the Dal/F.W. area without getting his ass slapped HARD by multiple passersby. League sources have informed me that Brandon Weeden will be suspended for the first 4 games of the year. The reason being, and I quote, “Just look at his last name! It’s right there. Could he be more obvious about it?” McFadden is injured. I didn’t read that, I just felt it.
Jets at Giants: The Jets/Giants tilt is called “The Snoopy Bowl”. I didn’t know that. Ivory finally gets the chance to show folks what he can do, which is to get injured by week 4. DE rook Williams is getting rave reviews from anyone bothering to associate themselves with the Jets.
Stevie Brown, last year’s starter at safety, was cut by the Texans. The Texans. [weeps quietly for two minutes] It’s good to get that out of the system. “All injuries all the time” is the Giants new motto. They’re so banged up that Old Man Coughlin is allowing players to rest, relax and re-hydrate ON HIS LAWN! Surely these are the end times.
Chi. at Cin.: Forte only fumbled twice last year? That’s kinda amazing. If his name is any indication, David Fales will not win a spot at the qb position. I’m just surprised he’s made it this far. Royal, Jeffrey and Wilson are out so Cutler has no choice but to overthrow his new best friend, te Bennett. A Bears blog asked “Is it too soon to panic?”. No, it’s never too soon-you want to get in on the ground floor for these things.
Don’t Dalton and Cutler mirror each other with respect to the lack of respect they get from their respective fan bases? Respect. Are you going to hand the ball over to the completely untested A.J. McCarron, you “Skyline Chili-eating underachiever in whatever you decided to do with your life” Bengals fan? I thought Greg Little was going to be something and was rooting for him but I see that he went to UNC. Now he can drown in a vat of medical waste for all I care. Eifert has to put it together…wait, he went to Notre Dame? Clear some room in that vat!
Wash. at Balt.: Goodbye qb pressure! Galette has got himself an Achilles tear. I count about 6/7 guys this year with the same injury. PK has a word for this. 3rd round rook Matt Jones is making DC football fans smile-looks like he’s Morris’ backup. Count on DeSean to make one flashy play and be generally useless before and after. I hope Cousins plays well so that I can continue to hear the one note storyline that Washington sports writers continually throw at the wall. The spaghetti is DONE, boys.
Have you ever dipped a mayo sandwich into a glass of room temperature skim milk? Joe Flacco has. When you need to throw for 23 total yards and give away 2 intercepts that’s what you eat. It’s that simple. Byrn Renner, a 25 year old out of UNC [spits on floor] has come out of nowhere to challenge Schaub for the backup spot. Now where did I put that vat?
Sea. at SD: So they added Graham. Now word is that rook wr Lockett could be an impact player. They’ve improved their pass rush. God damn 1%’ers get even richer. Blah, blah, blah.
Melvin Gordon gets the start tonight. Given the size of Woodhead and Oliver it’s his job to take/throw away. I bet he takes it. As per Football Outsiders the Bolts are slotted into the 9 win spot. Stevie Johnson might finally be in his happy place qb-wise with Rivers. How he was able to squeeze out 3 thousand yard years in Buffalo will befuddle me for as long as I masturbate on this earth.
Phi. at G.B.: It’s Kiko Alonso Day today! Are you wearing your ceremonial cast? I was wrong about Bradford sucking last week. I’m counting on him sucking this week though. If he doesn’t, he’ll suck the first week of the season. Look, I’m trying to say that Bradford sucks. Kelly just exited his football lab and pronounced, “look out for my new ‘Laundry Basket Y minus 34 Headlight Potato Gratin Zee’ play. She’s a doozy!”.
Some Packer scribe screeched that their biggest weakness might be depth at the O-line. Oh, boo-hoo. If you’re that well off could you throw a safety in the direction of the Giants? Please? I won’t beg (for more than three hours) though.
Ind at StL: Despite being 0-2 I figger that Indy is going to go undefeatified in their division this year. And it’s not going to be much of an accomplishment. Hilton is going to be a beast this year. Mark this down. The Colts have a mere (sarcasm font needed) 38 missed tackles in only 2 games so far. Perhaps defenders will use both arms to take down opponents this evening.
Bring back Vince Ferragamo! Say a prayer for Foles-there’s quite a bit riding on his shoulders. Gurley should help a bit but I see nothing coming from the wr corps. The D looks good and they say that D wins in the playoffs you know. That doesn’t much apply here however.
SF at Den: I’m sure we’ve all seen a friend headed down the wrong path and were helpless to prevent it from happening. That’s the aura that the 2015 49ers give off. Folks that have left the yard include Willis, Borland, Ventrone, Smith, Gore, Iupati, Culliver, Cox, Crabtree and Johnson. Wow.
A writer who attends daily Bronco practices says that Hillman is tearing the place up. Maybe C.J. is going to get squeezed. Certainly the Ghost of Mike Shanahan’s Tan thinks so. This same guy thinks Ball may not make the final squad as well. The Broncos have 12 sacks so far this preseason? Impressive.
Andy Dalton left in 2nd, neck.
Randall Cobb left in 2nd, shoulder.
Timmy Jernigan left in 1st, knee.
Please let Rodgers be next.
Okay yep Tales from the Borderlands time
Cubbies are up 1-0 in the second. Have a nice big draft Sculpin and a Dodger dog and just living the life.
C’mon Lester, strike these motherfuckers out.
Go Dodgers.
How much is Sculpin at the ballpark? One kidney or two?
13 bucks for a 16 oz.
CBS has been 5 seconds late returning from every commercial break.
Holy shit. Kevin Hart sold out Lincoln Financial Field. The stand-up hipster in me thinks he hasn’t been good since he sold out to get a Comedy Central Presents episode.
And Fetushead goes down without being hit.
What a worm.
Glad you could join us, Mr. Beckman.
PROMDOWN 2: IFISAWYOUINHEAVEN BOOGALOO
Chip Kelly’s offense will rack up 8000 yards of offense this year. The only thing more impressive than that will be the 8500 yards his defense gives up.

Oh goddamnit, good thing one can’t choke to death on nice flaky swordfish.
Rivers to the locker room with hand injury.
Good thing his wife takes care of everything at home.

Any recommendations for dinner in SF?
Pizza
Guess I should specify: dinner with the lady in SF.
Corn dogs.
Magnolia Cafe
Pork store for breakfast
Buena Vista for Irish coffee.
North Beach for Italian food,coffee shops and book stores.
Chinese. There’s also some good sushi there.
PROMDOWN
I don’t care how proud you are of the finish you put on your coffee table, there’s only one reason ever to let the pizza guy into your house.

To create a flimsy, cliche premise for a pornographic movie?
To fix the cable?
I always thought it was to clean the pipes.
Whats up with Green Bays outer field line?
http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hEfa0C897H4/maxresdefault.jpg
They have the out of bounds line and then a line a foot off of that
But that comment has me checking the abv on this beer as well.
Looking forward to the Monday announcement that Rex was up all weekend sewing his 4 quarterbacks together into some sort of flesh golem that can only audible with the phrase, “Please kill us…”
Not if Chip Kelly beats him to it!
We would still leave Dirty Sanchez out.
Man. Fat Jim Miller is fat.
Is Keenan Allen elite?
I want to buy a new phone.
Iphone, Samsung, or Motorola?
Moto.

I liked my last Droid Maxx, but these Samsungs look so damn good…
BlackBerry Classic! Great fucking phone, runs Android apps now.
If you still value using a micro SD card and a removable battery, consider LG.
I like my iPhone, but it’s a 4 so you probably can’t get it anymore.
Samsung has been adequate, especially once you turn off the stupidity (air gesture, eye tracking, etc.). Death before iPhone
Cricket
I’ve got a GoPhone that I never use because I barely use a phone anyway and I’m not helping am I?
On contract or off? If off I might humbly recommend the Moto G; very adequate phone for only $200.
Tough to say, chicks are so much better at dealing with phone companies… I am looking at buying or upgrading depending on what the phone gods say I can do!
Samsung
Oh, Kirk Cousins.
Your moderate display of semi-competence against the Ravens’ second-stringers just sent every DC Area racist into a state of absolute apoplexy.
Anybody start watching the Pablo Escobar Netflix series yet?
Its actually really good imo, like an expanded Cocaine Cowboys
Looking forward to it, with Fargo and (sigh, yes I like this) The Leftovers not starting until October.
Besides the general Eagles hate, whats up with putting Bradford down?
We put everyone down here.
His knees have done the lion’s share of the work for us up to now.
So true, I just feel a kinship with Bradford, we are both really mediocre white guys who tore ACLs.
He’s 1/16th Cherokee, which means he’s just dark enough for Chip Kelly to run him off if he starts getting “uppity”
Kyle Emmanuel seems like he’s pretty good at playing football.
Chargers have had guys in the Seattle backfield all game. That’s…odd.
Alright. Halfway through week 3 of preseason, so I can legally acknowledge that there is a piss poor substitute for football games taking place, but not nearly soon enough to acknowledge Sam Bradford as an NFL-caliber QB in 2015. Also, first time on word press. Is there a way to make it not suck a dick on a desktop computer?
Yeah, gonna go ahead and download the new Tales from the Borderlands episode.
So you see Lone Star, the Falcons will always fail because dull is dumb.
FLAGKKAKE
Is it just me, or did the level of play seem better in week 2 than week 3, which is really ass-backwards.
It’s not just you – that Steelers Bills game was comedic for its defensive breakdowns.
Depends on your point of view.
Must really be looking forward to that national spotlight Raiders/Cards game tomorrow if this is gonna be a pattern, eh?
Jacoby Jones: “Punt return TD? I’ll show the–AW DAMNIT!”
Tyler Lockett will probably make the roster.
Well, the SEA WR corps is PACKED, so…
HAHAHAHAHA j/k He’s in like Flynn.

Talk about running to daylight.
What’s this Stone Thunderstruck IPA doing in my glass? It’s not supposed to be there. I’ll have to get it out immediately.
I appreciate that you liked this comment.
I clicked “Like” by accident and now I’ve liked my own comment and can’t unlike it. This is so embarrassing. I’m not even drunk yet.
you should take that as a challenge. 5 minutes until kickoff, assuming you have live coverage in the area where you reside.
I still haven’t been able to figure out if I do.
I am sadly stuck DVRing the midnight replay on NFLN.
Researching W’s new baldness, I found out that the freshman QB at Alabama is dating this:

Smokin’ hot, maybe*. Surfer? Hardly. You can always tell because there’s never any wax on those prop boards.
*definitely
Also, no surfer ever holds the board with the fins in front and facing you. That’s just stupid.
The Legacy of Joe Namath continues.
Yeah, the Bears game is turning ugly quick. Well uglier.
Starters playing like 2nd teamers
Bob Papa dropped Carl Banks’ birthday cake in the booth.
SD O-line may have more depth now, but they don’t have more talent yet.
But I do like Stevie Johnson’s hands and route running so far.
Stevie Johnson and the defense looking good so far. Offense is meh.
Woah woah woah.. what the fuck happened to George W. Bush’s hair?
MY MAN MAN MARTAVIS MARIJUANA MADNESS
Howdy gang! I was at our brewery watching the Bills/Stillers. How the hell is everyone?!
I was better before Bills/Stillers.
Well, at least you know you can count on Stephan Gilmore giving up 40+ yards on pass interference at least once a game. His security blanket as a child must have been a WR jersey.
Fuckin’ Bengals announcers. Not only have they called Matt Forte the Bengals’ second-leading rusher of all time, but they made the inane comment that with the injuries the Bears have piled up at WR, “some of their wide receivers are going to have to play wide receiver.”
When did the Chargers get a defense? I would hate to see the size of Boltman’s erection right now.
/countdown begins until Dok starts posting pics
It doesn’t make any sense to me, either.
Then again, this is the time of year where they tend to get one’s hopes up.
First down Tough Doug.

Randall Cobb to the locker room with unspecified injury.
This is what I get for picking GB to win the SB.
Hey, at least Seattle is looking…
Well, terrible.

Sorry…I just blacked out and had the strangest dream…
Intentional grounding? Must have skipped his #nanobubbles. #blessed
Wow. This [*Redacted] s/Ravens game is gonna get UGLY. This should be fun.
Punching a defenseless woman ugly? Or quasi-racist ugly?
I guessing “leave in the Ravens starters and run up the store to 55-0” ugly. One can only hope…
