I guess every team deserves a shot at the national spotlight at some point in the year, if only to remind the average fan as to why he/she has no interest in watching that team. But we are not average fans, are we? We will watch anything. Besides, it’s early in the season-we’re a long way from “The Late-November Turgid Battle of Teams That Won’t Make The Playoffs Blues”. (I believe it was sung by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee) Both these teams are win-less and the loser will be making an appearance on next week’s “Power Rankings of the 0-2 Teams” post.* What are we waiting for? TO THE GAME!
Jets/Bills-Many mentions will be made of the Watkins/Revis showdown but on the other side of the field wr Woods is up against a cb (Buster Skrine) that allowed opposing qb’s to post a 100 QBR against him in 2015. It seems to be just a matter of a few games before cb Marcus Williams, who had a pick last week and six last year, becomes more prominent in the Jets secondary. The Bills have McCoy at rb and still managed only 176 total yards of offense against a Ravens D that just doesn’t look very imposing. OC Roman takes all the blame and should open things up this week. The thing is, the Jets interior D-Line of Wilkerson, Williams and Richardson are run-stopping, pocket-collapsing goliaths. Look for LeSean to run outside/catch short balls in space. Equally uninspiring was the yard work of wr’s Decker and Marshall last week. They caught 54 3-foot increments of space combined. It does seem as though the qb that raises his game the most under what will be intense defensive pressure will be the one that comes out with the V.
Ladies and gentlemen, START YOUR TYPING!
*Stay tuned
Bill’s first down
dead silence from crowd
sounds about right
I just realized I have Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Forte going in one of the Insanity leagues and Eric Decker in the other.
I’m doing quite well in one of those games.
“17, unanswered” is the TL/DR version of the transcript of Mark Chmura’s interrogation.
Ditto Mark Sanchez.
What is it with “Marks?”
I just don’t know man

We’ve entered Insanity League territory. Godspeed, all.
Why wouldn’t you go for two there? Up 13 with 4 minuets left? Are you counting on extra points being so hard to miss?
Vegas over/under was 40. And like the majority of degenerates, I took the under.
No child support payment this month!
No one could blame you.
How is that different from any other month?
This month I couldn’t pay. Usually it’s I don’t pay.
Clear distinction.
Hooray for technicalities.
Our nation is built on technicalities.
Well, we’ll know for sure tomorrow.

So matt forte has to get injured by like week 7 right?
RIGHT?
Sill?
Yes?
Forte seems to have popped off. Comments?
/you saved me in my money league. Thanx.
Fun (allegedly) true fact: Buffalo Bill Cody killed as many bison is 1867 as were alive in North America in 1946, the year that the Bills started using their name in the AAFC.
Another fun (alleged) fact: there’s a county in West Virginia that is on Mountain Standard time thanks to clerical error and a refusal to relegislate the original mistake.
Boone County. YEE FUCKING HAW!!!
Fun (alleged) fact: George Wahington was appointed General of the Continental Armies because he was the only wealthy guy who already had a uniform.
Did you guys hear Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard?
A Stiller running back from Detroit told me that once.
I heard this rumor that Antonio Gates played basketball.

Please disregard the Snowden thing, I didn’t see that before I posted.
Can’t get a single yard in two plays? That’s good Bills’in.
Now the Jets’ll fuckitup. They think they just won.

That’s the biggest smile of Bowles’ life.
I would love a documentary, similar to Hard Knocks, on NFL officials.
Bill Leavy’s inspiring battle with early onset dementia
Perhaps Fancy Bears can hack the refs drug tests.
It’s a damn passing league!
Punt that shit!
You sound like one of Trump’s advisors talking into his earpiece when he’s asked a question about his tax returns.
guess AL East > NFL today
Coulda done without that last inning
Fumble?
What was the over/under for total points score for this game. It has to be doubled by this point right?
Five yard penalty on third and six? That’s good Jetsin’.
Just brought shame to Mouldin III and Jr, if he’s still alive.
Fuck Brian Cashman with a rusty pitchfork for trading Andrew Miller.
I mean, I’ll take it considering it was a white flag move at the time.
Yeah I have no problem with that. I would much rather they traded Betances but they needed to restock and Miller got them a lot.
Oh I know. It was a great move. I’m just lashing out.
Good going Joe. You managed to use Betances for 3 straight, lost this game doing it, and lost him for probably the next two games. Terrific stuff.
Manager of the Year my ass.
Don’t forget wasted a terrific performance from your ace in the pitching matchup that was most in your favor!
Excellent point
Considering their expected W-L based upon run differential is 71-75, just relax and enjoy whatever happens for them this season.
It’s not that they lost Buddy, it’s that they lost being stupid. And to the Red Sox. That’s just goddamn annoying no matter how the season’s going.
Expectations were low, but now it’s a race!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ1xHmQgXDM
Also it was the Red Sox. Fuck those guys and fuck the deification of Ortiz considering he’s not exactly clean himself.
What is this shit? I was promised NO OFFENSE!
Yeah, what the fuck was Chip supposed to do with THAT in PHI?
Ah fucking GritSaux
All right, show me Jets derp for the Senor’s mad at everything trifecta.
I am such a bastard, I assume everyone here is a 35-year old white male and looks like David Koechner unless proven otherwise.
Older, shorter, no crown line, beard.
Older, taller, bit of an accent.
Betances might be overthrowing a tad.
YA THINK?
And Girardi should shut the fuck up. We’ve all seen enough of what Betances is like on 3 straight days to know this was coming.
Aren’t expanded rosters supposed to prevent that sort of stuff from happening?
So for those of you who missed it, I encountered Milana Vayntrub as she was coming out of an elevator last night.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
There is a very small (but nonzero) chance she will come to a poker game I play in at some point in the future. Fingers crossed.
If that happens I will fly to LA just to loiter outside in the hopes that she’s irresistibly attracted to shorter, fatter Stone Cold lookalikes.
When I got into my car later – I swear to God – the song on the radio was Aerosmith’s “Love in an Elevator”.
Man, Rikki. Your fantasy are really boring.
I just remembered I can watch TNF, SNF, MNF, and NFL Network on my iPhone. I want Redzone, but that costs extra, so fuck that shit.
I am also regretting this decision.
Horatio and I are now in full uncomfortable mode.
Punt Ret for TD in 5…4…3…2…
God dammit.
Thank god Hanley Ramirez refuses to walk.
Wow, UC. Way to represent!
Hey, it’s only… *checks score* oh.
It was 16-12 in the 4th Quarter. Things happened, apparently.
“Betances has a lot of confidence in his breaking ball”
Well he certainly should, he’s 1-14 throwing it for strikes so far this inning.
They’re pissing this game away.
Oh indeed.
GO DOWN!
Decker
But I barely know ‘er!
“I prefer the term ‘carpenter’ but hey, work is work.”

And Taylor just made a miraculous recovery…
Jellybrain McPickleburger!!!!!
Let me back in there godammit!! This is the Battle of the Somme!
Something something maginot line.
NFL Concussion Test:
Doctor: “Do you have a concussion?”
Player: “No.”
Doctor: “You’re good!”
Except without steps 1 and 2
Doctor: Pounds Player on the head and tells him to get fired up and get back in there.
Are you more or less inclined to take a knee during the anthem?
Less.
Get back in there kid.
EJ Manuel is still in the league? How is this possible?
and what sorcery is this? HE COMPLETED A FORWARD PASS?
Bar tender just told me not to worry about my tab. I guess it’d my reward for not making a scene. On one hand, I am moving from Guinness to Glenivet 12 year…but on the other hand…what did he think I was going to do? 4 years of drinking at this bar I never did nothing but drink and pay my tab.
It’s like ” Hey man. I know how you brothers are….a seething cauldron of violence. Thanks for fighting your base instincts and not just attacking some clueless drunk person. I know it’s hard for you people…here is some free booze”
I need to take a knee….I know I am over analyzing this shit but man…it pisses me off.
As a white male from suburban Connecticut, I do not feel I am qualified to comment on this situation. You have my sympathy, though.
Nah man. You bros here are chill. Family. I’m just drunk ranting.
You gonna Big Ben that chick or what?
Yeah cause in the South, that is totally tolerated…
I kid. I actually like working in the South of the US than the. Northeast and Great Lakes Region.
Apparently you past some Secret Test by passing on the Drunken Crazy Chick, and your reward is free booze.
It’s got to universal that drunk chick is worse than drunk douche right?
Security always can handle a drunk dude.
I have a buddy who is somewhat known in NYC comedian circles, and he says all of his heckling incidents have come from “35-45 year old women who you can tell used to be hot and have never been told to shut the fuck up.”
Hey look, Girardi put Betances in for the 3rd game in a row and he can’t find the fucking strike zone with a map.
As opposed to finding the base to throw to with a map. And there’s a double steal because they know he won’t throw over.
Just stick Wetteland in and you’re set.
“We need to put Taylor through the concussion protocol!”
“Uhhh, Ed, that’s just what Rex Ryan’s offense looks like.”
I feel like if Phil was a coach he’d have his kicker boot it straight out of bounds and give them the ball at the 40 JUST IN CASE.
It’s the right thing to do!
Hit him inbounds….in the head…with his own head.
Wait — I almost forgot McCoy is a thug too.
You sound just like William Hatfield.
Jets don’t like leads apparently.
Or Malaysian pilots
I’m lucky. My hallucinations of me only chastises me for the mistakes I’ve made in my life.
