Your Second Round of NFL Action Open Thread

Man, is it ever dreary/rainy in this neck of the woods. What that means for me is that the piling of more firewood will have to wait for some other time. Ah, well-I’ll make the best of it somehow. [light bulb appears over noggin] I know what to do! Let’s go… TO THE GAMES!

TB/Ari: AP got his wish (sorta) and ends up in Arizonatown. Indications are that he’ll be fed the ball early and often although I can’t see the Cards straying too far away from ultra-dependable Fitz and his 32 receptions.

LAR/Jax: I like the look of this tilt. We’ve got two young-ish teams that seem to have their respective futures in front of them. That suggestion I made last week about stashing qb Goff at the bottom of your fantasy roster? I’m glad you didn’t take me seriously. [stares at Goff at the bottom of his fantasy roster] SHUT UP! HE STILL HAS VALUE, DAMNIT!

Pit/KC: The only team that’s been able to come within seven points of the Chiefs was Philly and that was way back in week two. Rb Hunt has piled up 609 yards on a mere 96 carries! This has allowed our favourite spaghetti-armed quarterback to toss the ball further downfield than anyone but his mother thought possible. Alex Smith has gone for 1400 yards already and has 11 scoring balls to go with nary an intercept. Everything’s coming up ribs and roasts and buttered-on-both-sides-toasts down Kansas City way. On t’udder side, Big Ben was recently enrolled in an Interception Aversion Program at the team’s urging after last week’s travesty.

LAC/Oak: Raiders fans are shouting hosannas from the tops of burnt-out cars over the fact that qb Carr and his “out for 4 to 6 weeks” prognosis was discovered to be a load of hooey. He and Marshawn and Amari and Khalil should be more than enough to put the one-win Lawnclippers to bed early.

Do that thing that you do.

Welcome back… Dirk.

Senor Weaselo

Touchdown Seahawks!

Welp. Chiefs blew it. Later.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Time for some food. Catch you fellers in the late thread.

Redshirt

KC #75 almost committed a foul. You’re not supposed to hold up your own player.

blaxabbath

Well, I’ve hit my capacity for commercials for the day. See ya all later.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Rut roh, the KHunt is open for bidness.

blaxabbath

Fuck this sport.

I hope Kaep gets his own franchise out of this lawsuit.

You know, I’m starting to think that Antonio Brown may be good at footballing.

Redshirt

If anything the Chiefs are doing the Bengals a favor. The Steelers should be overconfident going into next week.

blaxabbath

Ben is always overconfident.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Alright Alex Smith, don’t fuck this up for me.
ALL KELCE ALL THE TIME!!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

How much is a plane ticket to KC and an untraceable weapon upon landing?
/asking foar a friend

blaxabbath

You got Breaking Bad money?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey man, I’m flush, my shit is tight. If I cash some stuff in I could probably scrape together as much as $127.62. That’s not chump change there buddy.

Redshirt

Drive to KC, but go out of the way, buy a baseball bat with cash, and never go back to that town again.

There! No traceability.

Senor Weaselo

At what point do you shuffle though?

Redshirt

Now if I said that, there would create “traceability”.

No footprint, either digital or physical!

theeWeeBabySeamus

What if I was in KC just last year (hypothetically, of course) and there may or may not be a warrant for me there?

I’ll hang up and listen….

theeWeeBabySeamus

Never mind. I’m sure I was going fast enough that he never got a clear look at my plates.

Forget I asked.

Senor Weaselo

If you had your way, you wouldn’t be the only one saying that.
/Bad Senor, bad!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah….I’m….ummmmmm…..yeah……no.

The Umpire wasn’t in a safe place?! The NFL doesn’t have a problem with their players not knowing their family by age 45, but, DAMN IT!, we gotta protect the Umpire!

blaxabbath

If I were an NFL quarterback, I would be absolutely terrified each time the ball was snapped.

Mother Puncher

Girlfriend discovered the tgif shows on Hulu. The humor of Urkle doesn’t hold up now that I’m 30.

blaxabbath

I watch even older Simpsons and a lot of the jokes, if told now, I’d be like, “See?! That’s just lazy.”

We live lives of bias.

Romonobyl

I used to think 2 and 1/2 Men was funny, then my voice changed.

Redshirt

You should watch M*A*S*H. At the time funny. Now, some of what they did is gross insubordination and borderline treason. Also, I think that joke about rape in the first season wouldn’t go over well.

/ Joke was a guest actor was caught in the arms and she screamed “Rape!”. Hawkeye and Trapper John said “I’ve never been to a rape before.”

// There might also be an issue with how Trapper John got his nickname.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sadly, I don’t have Bell. My opponent this week does, however.

Thanks Obama!!!!!!!!

blaxabbath

Let’s defund insurance!

Mother Puncher

And give Iran an excuse to develop nukes!

Romonobyl

Puerto Rico is a US territory?

Redshirt

Congress slows things down. Let’s just let the President run by Executive Orders and Decrees.

blaxabbath

Which is actually about the way Congress has set things up over the last 30 years.

Romonobyl

This PIT/KC game is why I don’t do the fantasy thing or bet money on games…anymore.

blaxabbath

I wish I could get that. Home market game = not interesting.

Romonobyl

Not missing much, KC’s stats are pure dumpster fire stuff.

Petronel

Apart from a few Keystone Kops moments, it;s been pretty dull too. (Then again, something in me finds it impossible to find the Chefs at all interesting, so maybe that’s just me.)

blaxabbath

Tune in to Fox’s #1 Fall Hit!
Carson Palmer: Noodle Armed Bastard

blaxabbath

I’m no NFL GM but I think New Orleans should have been able to get, at least, a 5th round pick for AP, considering ARI’s needs….

Senor Weaselo

Survivor gods? That would explain how it’s still going.

blaxabbath

Scoring the reception (on a rub route) that gives the Bucs 6 against ARI’s 31 in the third, DJax gives the “shush” celebration to the ARI crowd.

So…..there’s that.

Romonobyl

Rodgers got Romo’d.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Means something different before December

blaxabbath

Mike Evans has quit. He’ll see you for Week 7.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yep, I’ve got him too.
Quite an impressive collection of headcases I’ve put together, huh?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh and Eli is on my bench.
LMFAO

This box score description of the KC Safety is perfect:

Alex Smith rushed to the right for no gain. Zach Fulton fumbled. Zach Fulton recovered fumble for no gain. Safety

Horatio Cornblower

My wife has agreed to drive me to the package store and get pizza because I helped with her friend’s birthday gift and I am now out of beer and shouldn’t be driving.

Truly I have out-kicked my coverage.

blaxabbath

Did her friend, by chance, want a threesome as her gift?

Horatio Cornblower

Oh dear God no.

blaxabbath

Oh – so she ugly.

herodotus450

Marry her

Horatio Cornblower

I have. Twice.

Romonobyl

But apparently you married well.

blaxabbath

Does east coasters get as weird about traveling west as we do about morning games? Like, anytime we play an AM east coast game, it’s like, “Oh, what will the early start mean to these elite athletes?!”

...

Yes. It’s used as an easy, lazy narrative to explain a bad road record.

blaxabbath

Ok — just making sure it works both ways.

Helen Mirren is a national treasure, and she’s not even from our nation!

Romonobyl

She seems like she’d be a lot of fun to shoot the shit with over a bottle of wine.

blaxabbath

Arizona deserves to leap from 24th to 22nd in the power rankings this week.

blaxabbath

Man, I feel bad for the suckers who started Ryan Fitzpatrick in fantasy today….

blaxabbath

Fitz threw that up like he didn’t care who caught it.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Did you know Caesars has a topless pool? It’d what you would low bar expect on a Sunday.

blaxabbath

I did not.

Gratliff

Even with the Chiefs, Andy Reid continues to disappoint me

blaxabbath

There’s still BBQ to be eaten.

Horatio Cornblower

“Even with the Chefs, Andy Reid continues to disappoint me”

Me, two people behind Andy Reid in line as the BBQ place 86’s brisket.

...

I hope the Bears go 4-12 but 4-0 vs. the AFC North.

Horatio Cornblower

OK, kids, I’m back. My debut as a calendar model is me in a tie and boxers, holding a briefcase and 20′ up in the air in a bucket loader.

Not surprisingly, I am also drunk.

Has there ever been a 5-0 or better team that laid an egg like the Chiefs are doing?

herodotus450

I’d put money on the answer to that question being the Chiefs, sometiime in the last decade.

blaxabbath

Peterson is the best CB in the game.

blaxabbath

AHAHAHAHAHA! Nice pass attempt, Fitzmagik!

blaxabbath

Remember when AP beat up that kid?

Me neither. Go Cards! Woooo!

Horatio Cornblower

Peterson always does well when he switches things up.

hippofant

Steelers-Chiefs is a shitshow.
Rams-Jags is competitive.

…. And Donald Trump is President?!?!?!?!?!?!

WE GONNA DECERTIFY IRAN! WOOOOOOOO!!!!

My Choco-Taco stock just tanked.

HARF! Potties have tank too, like on Call of Duty. PEW PEW!!

Geico didn’t want to show Luke Kuechly getting those dark spots on his brain all swole.

King Hippo

Was that his lead raping shoulder, too?

No bathroom stall door lock is safe!

Starting to regret starting the entire chiefs offense this week

blaxabbath

theeWeeBabySeamus

So are the Chiefs.

blaxabbath

See?

That’s the Cardinals.

blaxabbath

Wow — ARI lost that. They got lucky there.

Petronel

Who does he think he is, Ken Norton Jr.?

Redshirt

So eleven punches are okay, but twelve is illegal?

King Hippo

per Romo, you can’t use the post

blaxabbath

Joe Mixon only needs one.

Redshirt

How Bell has a better Stiff Arm Rating than Mixon in Madden I don’t understand.

blaxabbath

I’d like an update on this Quotables star, re: 2017 Jags.

Looks like somebody’s crystal meth supply ran out.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shouldn’t be hard to find moar because….Jacksonville.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Even with that; he is not aware of his surrounding or can comprehend them in any meaningful way. His mom will be pretty mad about the table tho.

...

This Papa Roach music video sucks.

Gratliff

Yeah. Don’t cover Fitz. That’ll work out for you.

King Hippo

I mean, you don’t want to let JJ Nelson beat you ,, smh
