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!

Holy shit. Commentators can’t imagine how someone could not like Jameis. “Everybody’s made mistakes” was actually uttered.

Doktor Zymm

Can you give me an address that I should send all my stabbing to?

...

When you properly recognize commentators are poorly-disguised PR shills for the league, then it makes more sense.

blaxabbath

Haha — CBS just showed Rapey Jameis throwing a block downfield in college. Then said, when Jason Licht saw that, he knew that was the QB he wanted.

LemonJello

His center does not share your sentiments.

LemonJello

Fuqit. That wasn’t supposed to be there. Hail Bleergh!

blaxabbath

The pro to keeping WInston on the field is, for the next 11 minutes, you at least know where he is and can be sure he’s not out raping someone — again.

litre_cola

Yeah in Glendale he could go to any one of those bars and get busy.

litre_cola

Insert South Park gif of hippo exploding after that pick

Doktor Zymm

So…it would be fun to rewrite Reel Big Fish’s song “Sell Out” as “Shut Out” yes?

...

Seems straight forward.

Unsurprised

God, kill me. I don’t want to go to work.

I’m not tired or anything. I just don’t want to go.

Doktor Zymm

I like my job and I never want to go to work. You are normal and healthy. But feel free to fake sick and stay home. I’ll write you a note.

Hi every day. especially tomorrow.

Sill Bimmons

Holy FUCKBALLS HODOR

Moonbatting Average

The guy I’m playing against in my work league left Tyrod Taylor, Larry Fitzgerald, and Travis Benjamin on his bench. BULLET, DODGED

LemonJello

HODORCEPTION!

King Hippo

TalibDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

litre_cola

The soon to be wife went to nap. Time for red #2!!!

blaxabbath

Dunstan

That’s true. If something were to happen to Winston, he’d pretty much be asking for it, standing there so provocatively in the pocket late in a bad game.

Doktor Zymm

Haha Pete Carroll almost knocking over Kearse

Sharkbait

Pete Carroll looks like he just found out jet fuel doesn’t have to melt the steel beams, but soften it enough to weaken its structural integrity.

Bortleback

Needs temperature dependency data…….

blaxabbath

No! That’s a conspiracy!

King Hippo

San Diego is REALLY running out of time to fuck this one up.

Old School Zero

That was ridiculous.

King Hippo

correction – TIME’s UP, bitches!!! Old Man Rivers and his cast of rejects got this one!

/stomp stomp CLAP

blaxabbath

That’s right, CJ2K bay-BEEEEEE.

Shogun Marcus
King Hippo

you don’t wanna pull swords on THIS mofo, Ben…

Unsurprised

That movie looks so fucking stupid I lost IQ watching the trailer.

ThePirateSloth

I love that someone has a Jeff Fischer fake punt statistic ready to go.

Sharkbait

MOAR PIMMS!

Running low on mixers for it though

Doktor Zymm

Gin is a mixer. Not a good mixer….but a mixer nonetheless!

blaxabbath

It’s after Labor Day.

Gin is a draft night drink.

Unsurprised

Gin should be on draft for easier access to liquid amnesia.

Dunstan

My cable box just gave up on this afternoon’s games. It clearly has better judgment than me.

Unsurprised

I should be watching the games on my phone and commenting on my otherwise paperweight of an Amazon kindle fire but instead I’m doing crosswords to keep me from going insane at work in twenty minutes.

Case Keenum : The Case of the Mysterious Loss of 9 Yards

blaxabbath

Sounds like another Jim Tomsula X-File!

Sill Bimmons

Case Keenum : The Case Of The Mysterious Loss Of 9 Yards

ftfy

...

Keenum: “For the last damn time, I am not a P.I.! I’m a quarterback!!!”

Ref: “I was signaling a 15 yard penalty and your second point is debatable.”

King Hippo

SEA needs to start tackling the fucking ball

Shogun Marcus

Old Spice I have no idea what you’re doing but that’s ok.

The Maestro

Lol lol lol the Bucs picked a kicker in the 2nd round who can’t fucking kick lol lol lol

blaxabbath

They also picked a head coach who can’t head coach.

King Hippo

yeah, he’d be cut if not for the embarrassment

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It takes some level of self-awareness to be embarrassed.

Old School Zero

That will never not be funny.

Moonbatting Average

Dear Bucs: Never go full retard

Sill Bimmons

The Clots entire secondary is dead.

King Hippo

a team with a QB would be going fucking nuts, eh?

Doktor Zymm

RAM IT CHALLENGE.

I’m going to have some tea biscuits with coconut jam.

Sill Bimmons

The easiest way to avoid your/you’re mistakes?

“Your friend is hot but you’re a beast.”

herodotus450

Stil confused about yore though

Beastmode Ate My Baby

It’s so much easier going full redneck.

“Yer lookin’ mighty fine there, an’ so’s yer friend.”

King Hippo

THURSDAY!!!! Cheer FOAR an imaginary team with your imaginary friends!!!

Aguayo may be a 2nd round pick but he’s crabwalking kicks to the right like a 4th rounder.

Dunstan

“Crabwalking? Dude, you’ve got to RUN when you do that.” — J. Winston

Bad challenges are bad.

King Hippo

HAIL BLEEERGH!!!!

litre_cola

Nervous Hippo?

King Hippo

oh yeah

...

I napped. It was nice. Seems I missed some derpy football.

Unsurprised

Shit. This sounds much better.

Ni hao to you Red Chinese

Fuck off about Goff!

LemonJello

Turn your head and Goff?

Old School Zero

Dirk Koetter returning to the losing ways he excelled at while HC at ASU.

Dunstan

Matty Ice-pick!

blaxabbath

Someone pump in some groans through the speakers!

King Hippo

he really has gotten a bit worse year by year, subtly

blaxabbath

Seriously. What happened? Did his line go to shit or is he just following his idol, Joe Flacco?

Trevor Semen

Well my CBS broadcast just went full retard for about 5-10 seconds

LemonJello

Yup, here too. I thought SkyNet was making it’s move.

litre_cola

I do not understand the insanity league.

Sharkbait

Nobody does. I’m losing to an empty bench spot.

Sill Bimmons
Doktor Zymm

It’s also misattributed!

Moonbatting Average

Guys! You won’t believe it! Bortles now has positive fantasy points!

Old School Zero

You’re right. I don’t believe it.

The Maestro

Hahahah I started Tyrell Williams this week lol sorry Hippo

blaxabbath

Rapey Pick-6 (Not investigated)

...

Hehehe

Sharkbait

I love how Joe Buck just assumes the starting job will be Jared Goff’s relatively soon. I mean he’s not wrong, just odd to hear from a broadcaster

The Maestro

He’s competing with Case fucking Keenum. My 5 year old cousin could tell you that Goff’s gonna replace him soon enough, and that little dude is confused as fuck by football.

litre_cola

I went down years ago and saw Case throw at UH and I was impressed. It didn’t translate to the NFL.

King Hippo

fuck a fucking fuck

Doktor Zymm

Is embarrassment really a strong motivator for NFL players?

blaxabbath

These men feel no shame.
