Your Early Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

N.O./KC-The Saints O is a thing to behold-they churn out an average of 413 yards per game despite the fact their running game is near non-existent. “Don’t talk about the D. Don’t talk about the D”-Saints fans. Let’s talk about the D. “GODDAMN IT!”-Saints fans. It’s a piece of crap that hands out 419 yards per game to opposing O’s. Gulp. Well, at the very least it’s entertaining. Look for the Cooks/Peters match up in the secondary and for rb Charles to break one or two.

Ind/Ten-The Titans are 2-14 on the road. Scratch that-that would be their home record the last two years. How the hell do they sell tickets to their tripe? Yikes! That being typed, if they win today they’ll have put together their first 3 game win streak since 2011. They should give the run game a try-rb Murray is playing well and the Colts give up a half first down each time that someone runs the ball against them. Plus, 11 Colts are ruled out or questionable today. You sneaky buggers out there that do the fantasy should take a look at te Jack Doyle-the fella has 3 TD’s but what’s more impressive is that he’s got 20 grabs on only 23 targets.

Min/Phi-Rook qb Wentz will have to earn his animal crackers today against a Minny D that has 19 sacks and a +11 turnover differential. I’ll wager he gives up his 2nd intercept to outstanding cb Xavier Rhodes. The Eagles may want to steal this game because going forward they have the toughest strength of schedule based on current records. The Vikes passing game gets an upgrade with wr Diggs likely to return.

Cle/Cin-Oh woe is you if you is stuck with this game. What happens when an unwinnable lack of force meets an under-achieving object? We finally get the answer to this via the quotation marks battle of Ohio quotation marks.

Was/Det-The Redacteds started 0-2 and the calls for qb Cousins to be benched were numerous. Now that the team has reeled off 4 straight and he has 7 TD’s and only 3 Ints in that stretch, the soul-less supporters of the club have chosen to grumble to themselves. The Lions have won two squeakers at home and look to grab a third. Qb Chunky Butternubbins has tossed 7 TD’s with nary an intercept. He’ll have to put some points on the board because his team’s D is the same one that gave up 19 consecutive complete passes to something called a Case Keenum last week.

Oak/Jax-Much like this whole “evil clown” thing being a thing, Oakland being undefeated on the road took me by surprise. How did they accomplish that? It’s not Indy or the Saints with the most yards allowed so far this year-it’s Oakland with an average of 444 per game. Neither team can run the ball consistently so both Bortles and Carr should go for 350+ and wr’s Cooper, Crabtree, Hurns and Robinson should all have a bellyful of footballs by the end of this, say, 41-38 whizbang of a game.

Buf/Mia-I larfed myself silly when HC Ryan fired his OC because his D was such a mess. [record scratch] Huh, well would you look here-some team has run off 4 straight wins including a shutout of the Pats. I KNOW NOTHING! On another personal note, I ditched rb Ajayi heading into last week’s games. Woo! is not me. Don’t you think the Billys are going to run the ball down the Fins throat and end up with a W? Even though rb Shady has a hammy issue he’ll still get his.

Bal/NYJ-Qb Flacco’s status was up in the air but I saw a report this morning indicating he was ready to go. Jets HC Bowles benched his guy, Ryan McHarvardface knowing that Monday he wouldn’t have to watch horrible decision-making by the ‘leader’ of his O. Instead he’ll be treated to horrible decision-making by Geno Smith. It’s the little things that make going into work bearable, isn’t it? The many faces of Jets wr Marshall are downcast.

A jaunty hat tip to all those that commented during the early bird special but your work is far from over. Now take a break AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

If they can keep it under 20 I’ll be astounded.

Nice 4 game losing streak, Baltimore.
No really, I mean it. It’s been a thing of beauty. Let’s see if we can make it 13 and get a high enough pick to get DECENT GODDAMNED QUARTERBACK!!!!!!

Sill Bimmons

YOU’RE ALREADY PAYING THE ELITE ONE YOU HAVE ELEVENTY BILLIONS DOLLARS

Not if I murderize him.
But yeah, don’t remind me about THAT contract. Jeebus.

Conspiracy theory: Solomon Wilcotts is employed by CBS to make Phil Simms seem competent by comparison.

Titans WOO!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

I swear, after watching just minutes of this Ravens’ fiasco, I might have to just say no to football the rest of the day and get caught up on Westworld. Already got caught up on The Strain. Hours in an ICU waiting room gives lotsa time.

LCSS lied to me, btw. At least a little bit. But tonight….NEGAN and LUCILLE.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh, and Hippo….dunno if you’re watching The Strain, but our favorite KGB fence sitter Oleg had a bit role in a flashback. WWII Ukrainian POW…things didn’t end well for him.

King Hippo

NOPE. Kept my word and quit cold turkey. Do NAWT miss it.

ThursdaySkyGoddess

I went to get something to eat (because oxy on an empty stomach is BAD), and Ravens/Jets WTF?

ThePirateSloth

Hahahahahaha. Nothing like being able to tell your mom when she is on vacation at your house, that because you’ve been drinking scotch since before 11am, that she has to cook lunch for everyone. I told her she’s just mad because she finished off all her wine last night, leaving her nothing to drink today.

I might be dead soon, so just to be on the safe side – y’all are great people and I’ll miss you.

Sill Bimmons

I look forward to the ID Discovery show about your murder.

Romonobyl

Isn’t he too old to be drowned in the tub?

Sill Bimmons

You’re never to old to be drowned in the tub.

Unsurprised

Oh, cool. This time I get to watch the explosion instead of just gawking at the aftermath like a goober.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Less than an hour until we land. How many derps will I have to sit through as my back spasms until we can exit this flying tin can?

theeWeeBabySeamus

O/U at 11.5

Sill Bimmons

DOESN’T MEAN IT DOESN’T HURT AND THAT THEY COULDN’T MAKE IT JUST A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE

Unsurprised

The slave berths in the Middle Passage had more shoulder room

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Can’t I be back- and butthurt in whatever the opposite of peace and quiet is? Din and mayhem?

Bengals are up by 14 against the Browns, but I’m still nervous they can still lose this game.

God I hate being a Bengals fan!
