Your “+1” Sunday Night Open Thread

Hey guys, isn’t it fun how KICKERS are missing all over the place today? I sure do love how much more EXCITING this is making the game of football! Roger Goodell knows a smart rule change when he sees one, and this certainly cannot POSSIB-LIE go wrong.

Scotchy is out tonight doing, uhhh, important adult things…

I am Low Commander of the Super Soldiers, and I will be carrying to the load tonight, but I know why you’re here so, ON TO THE GAME!

Green Bay Packers @ Washington Redacteds:

After getting dismantled in Tennessee last week, the Packers are looking to try to get their season back on track today in Washington, against the continually surprising Redacteds. Smart Packer fans will point out that Rodgers recent struggles go back to week 8 of last season, where they got beat up 29-10 by the Broncos in Mile High. Since then, the Packers have gone a collective 8-11, and have struggled to get much done at times offensively. Granted, that can be tough to do with a complete lack of a run game, but it never really seemed to bother them much in past seasons. They do get Aaron’s favorite long haired roommate back in Clay Mathews tonight, so perhaps the defense will actually be able to stop the run with some consistency.

Speaking of the run, Rob Kelley is getting the start tonight at running back for the Redacteds. After being part of their system for much of the year, Kelley seems to be the consensus starter going forward, and why not? On 60 rushes so far this year, only 2 have been for negative yards, and has had no fumbles. Maybe that’s not a big enough sample size to truly know what he is capable of, but it’s enough for him to get the nod from many of us in fantasy tonight, myself included. Don’t make me look stupid tonight, Rob! I certainly don’t need any extra help. Otherwise, Kirk Cousins has played decently enough as of late to not really lose Washington any games, but not always enough to win them either. Washington’s pass defense has played well with the addition of Josh Norman, but continually seem to struggle against the run, which totally plays to Green Bay’s strengths. I have hope that this can be an exciting and close game, but I foresee Washington winning at home by ten points.

Alright, you know what to do. Stretch out them fingers and get to the typity-type! See you in the comments.
