Your Saturday Afternoon Football Open Thread

Well, what have we got here? Looks like a double-header-each of which could be interesting in different ways. The Jags and Vikes will be upper echelon teams in their respective conferences and should take their divisions as well. As for the Raiders and Rams? Umm, hmm… This premise of mine has a big old hole right in the middle, don’t it? Nevertheless, we must go where we always go… TO THE GAMES!

JAX/Minny:

Second year (but still mostly first year) rb Dalvin Cook has been spotted by eagle-eyed watchers of Vikings practices running during 11 on 11 live sessions. Will you and I and that other guy get a wee looky-loo at him today? Zimmer hasn’t said anything either way. The way I see it from up here in the wastelands of northern Ontario, he makes the briefest of appearances this week and then next week shreds his other knee. [dodges multiple cell phones thrown by hardcore dynasty league heathens] Easy, boys-I was just joking. Word at Jags camp is that rb Fournette is the lightest he’s been since high school. The thought of him having more than a touch of breakaway speed is disheartening… for his opponents.

OAK/LAR:

Oof! If starter Goff goes down at any point this year the Rams are stuck with Sean Mannion, Branden Allen or Luis Perez. That’s lack of confidence in qb depth personified right there, folks.

Make with the typy-typing, my good monkey friends.
