Your “Pip, Pip, Huzzah And All That” Early Morning NFL Fixture Open Thread

Well, well, well-here we are again. Rise and shine, beasties because the NFL has got a treat for you! I’d suggest you have a bland breakfast of some sort since you don’t want it causing too much damage on the way back up. So tapioca it is! Man, do I hate tapioca. You know what? A nice bagel and cream cheese should do the trick. Let’s go with that. Now let’s go… TO THE GAME!

Min/Cle: By now you’ve heard that a gas leak in the kitchen forced the Brownies to get up in the middle of the night. The place they were staying at sounds like the most English-y spot ever-PennyHill Park in Bagshot. The more religious of the Browns players were surprised to discover that the Bible in the night table drawer was replaced with a copy of Charles Dickins’ The Pickwick Papers. For Cleveland it just gets worse and worse as things tend to get when you’re living in an 0-7 hole. The 311 on qb Kizer is just that-3 TD passes against 11 interceptions. With the exception of one time, each game he’s started has begun with a 3-and-out. The lone exception was a ‘drive’ four plays long. His pathetic wr crew hasn’t done him any favours either-they’ve got 13 drops total among them. How is Kenny Britt still starting in this league? Can I pile on some more? Sure. The team is without its best player in Joe Thomas and will also be missing starters at the dt, de, cb and safety positions.

Everson Griffin has nine sacks in seven games and is looking to get more while going up against the awesomely-named Spencer Drango. The latter sounds like the guy that Arnold lied to about killing last in that movie. Rb’s Murray and McKinnon have done well in Dalvin Cook’s absence as they both have a 100 yarder under their respective belts. Qb Case Keenum has had his ups and downs as one would expect of a perennial back-up but the guy is 4-2, cut him some slack.

Type away, my pretties!
