Your Sunday Late Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

Sea/LA-Pity the poor Rams. (but not their ownership or coach) They were blasted by the Niners on Monday night and now come back “home” to meet up with the Seahawks. Wr Austin was rated by Football Outsiders as the worst at his position last week. How does one go about accomplishing this? Well, what you need to do is catch a mere 4 of 12 targets for 13 yards. And he’s their #1 guy! Not much hope in Ramsville. BTW, qb Wilson’s high ankle sprain will play.

TB/Ari-Wr Evans, he of 99 yards/1 TD last week gets cb Peterson this week. On the other side wr Fitz gets cb Grimes. The former is not at the height of his powers any longer but his stat line of 8/81/2 begs to differ. Tampa lb Alexander has his eyes set squarely on rb Johnson. I really like both these youngsters-they’ll both be super productive for the next decade.

Jax/SD-Here is another Battle Royale of 0-1 teams. The Jags young D did quite well against a talented Pack team and despite the loss I bet they are coming to realize what they are capable of. Rb Gordon is the Bolts leading rusher with [is tapped on shoulder] Uh, hold on. Woodhead is leading the team? Really? C’mon! I’d just like to add that recently signed first-rounder Bosa is nowhere near game shape.

Atl/Oak-The Falcons leading rusher is Coleman with 22 yds. Yeah, as a matter of fact they did lose last week. I get the feeling that Atlanta’s small window of relevance is closing very fast. Qb Carr and co. found a way to beat the Saints in the Dome last week which should serve them well this week. Wr Jones will of course get his but on the other side Cooper should do the same.

Indy/Den-If you drafted qb Luck as your guy in fantasy, congrats on your 1-0 record! Today he’s up again a whole ‘nother kettle of horses in the Denver D. The Colts tissue-paper D ensures that qb Siemian will improve on last week’s pedestrian numbers. Look for the Colts to play catch-up all game long.

[tips hat] LET’S DO THIS, FOLKS!

It’s rare I look forward to an NFC North game, but this un coming up should be a good un

...

Midwesterners entertaining you? Now I’ve heard of everything!

*monocle falls out*

Gratliff

6 weeks til another Romo injury!

JustStopDude

Jason Garret-Bot-2000 seems to have gotten some updates to his firmware.

Doktor Zymm

Final plays are the best plays

JustStopDude

Holy crap the Browns were EPIC Browning today…

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It’s wild rice, man! It ain’t gonna listen to your rules!

American Pie Story

Please don’t die this year, Hodor

Doktor Zymm

The Amish do have excellent arrangements with local health care systems.

Doktor Zymm

Frangelico should become a hip hop liqueur, mainly because I would enjoy hearing things rhymed with Frangelico.

Moonbatting Average

Von Fucking Miller

King Hippo

BLEERGH cares not that it is a two-score game. THERE ARE RULES, Humps!!!

Doktor Zymm

Bortleback

Hey guys, I don’t know if anybody else noticed, but Von Miller is pretty good at pass rushing

Old School Zero

Wait, the Super Bowl is in “Houston” this year? But… I heard that teams that go there don’t come back.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I lived south of Houston. It’s a desolate wasteland, inhabited by inbred meth-cookers and uneducated rednecks.

But I’m from Eastern WA, so it felt like home.

...

The Spokane of the South!

Doktor Zymm

They haven’t had a Super Bowl on neutral ground before, INTERESTING

Dunstan

Well, not on TRUE neutral ground, i.e. Topeka.

Gratliff

If I can get 80 points out of Ryan Matthews, I’ll only need 20 points out of Dorial Green-Beckham to win.

JustStopDude

The moment I realized that I should have played Flacco over Brees…I think I saw oblivion…

litre_cola

AAANNNDDD Hippo exploded

American Pie Story

Also exploding: my head

King Hippo

I sorry, Pie. On the bright side…rest of AFC South!

American Pie Story

Jacksonville in London!! What could possibly go wrong?

American Pie Story

Game over

LemonJello

HODOR bed shitting!

King Hippo

VON!!!!! FOAR MVP

Doktor Zymm

Creepy Toddlers. RATINGS GOLD.

I much prefer creepy sheep. Black Sheep is a fine movie which I enjoyed rewatching yesterday.

litre_cola

Black Sheep was a great hip hop act that got no credit.

Doktor Zymm

That too. Really, anything named Black Sheep, regardless of medium, FANTASTIC

Doktor Zymm

My bench is ripening like a tasty peach, and has outscored my team at every position other than QB, K, and D. I say once again, SHOVE IT, YAHOO DRAFT GRADE

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Hey, Seahawks, thanks for wasting 3 hours of my life with your pathetic attempt at fubaw.

Jeez! You could have been out enjoying a craft brew or something with BACON!

Doktor Zymm

The Falcons continuing their trend of duping people into thinking they’re good in the first few weeks. My condolences, Raiders fans. Your team should actually be better than this, this year.

Bortleback

The Falcons D is currently trying their best to correct this. The Raiders just ran the exact same play 3 times in a row, with the pass going to the RB as he released out of the backfield, for a first down every time

King Hippo

just get enough for a FG, you idiots

Spur

I love Julio but dammit he is made of tissue paper

Doktor Zymm

Looking at games I paid less attention to….Cardinals, 40 – ppthht, Chargers 38- ppthht, a good day for teams starting with ‘C’

blaxabbath

Not ‘sea’ though.

blaxabbath

Haha! Rapey Jameis hit on the second to last meaningless play of the game and now he’s limping!

Oh — and he closed the game by throwing another pick (for whoever has him in non-rape FF)

Doktor Zymm

Sounds painful!

blaxabbath

Can’t believe they left him in there. TB is still embracing the Shiano Men culture.

LemonJello

So, MRSA for everybody?

Doktor Zymm

May he get an unrecognized concussion while charging a victory formation!

Doktor Zymm

I look forward to listening to some fantastic hemming and hawing about how the Seahawks are still good and why they’ll still be picked to win every game for the next 9 weeks
