And we’re not tilting at windmills, friends-this be the real thing and all. I trust you have a very many intoxicants and mood-enhancers at arm’s length, that you’ve finished tying the children up in the basement, (or crawlspace, either one is fine) handed the wife a few 20’s and said, “you haven’t seen [insert frenemy here] in such a long time-why don’t you invite her out to brunch?” You’re a regular Howard Roark from The Fountainhead, aren’t you? It’s your way or the highway-you’re not gonna watch the games with a bunch of damn collectivists. “It’s too important a day for ‘people'”, you say to yourself. “One must strike out on one’s own. Establish the trail. Go it alone. Stand tall.”
Damn, that was one fine #feverdream, wasn’t it? Just do what you do, barge into the comments as you see fit and make with the funny. TO THE GAMES!
Steelers/Brownies:
Did you stash James Connor at the end of your fantasy bench because you’re a sneaky weasel? Well done. Tire Rod gets the start in Cleveland and talent-wise the cupboard isn’t its usual bare shelf. It might be enough vs. a Bell-less Pitt team.
Bengalis/Colts:
Things are looking up in Indy now that Mr. Luck is back behind center. Starting rb Mack is out however but is he really going to carry the load this year? The backfield just looks very thin to me.
Titans/Fins:
Them Titans are putting together the old “Thunder and Lightning” backfield duo of Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis. Personally, I expect Henry to have a monster season in 2018 after being robbed of carries by the battered shell of DeMarco Murray last year.
Niners/Vikers:
Jimmy G’s short-passing game plan vs. the aggressive Minny D went out the window when rb MacKinnon blew an axle. In steps the very adequate journeyman Alfred Morris and the untested Matt Breida. That’s a step back, for sure.
Texans/Pats:
Last year Houston barely lost 36-33 to a Brady that was looking to go long to Cooks and Gronk. The pressure applied by the Texans d-line made the game close. I’m sure they’ll go back to the well game-planning-wise while the Pats feature a dink and dunk game with Burkhead, Hogan and some undrafted guy from East Boston Tech. Pats win.
Bills/Ravens:
Buffalo, this is Nathan Peterman’s team now. Govern yourselves accordingly.
Jags/Giant:
Much yackety-yakking focuses around the Old Dirty Beckham/J. Ramsey tete-a-tete but I think the key will be te Engram on lb Gipson. Gipson is a fine player but he doesn’t have the speed to keep up with Engram. He’s got that in common with every other lb in the league. Yes, the Giants O appears to be more dynamic (and more importantly) free of the influence of the Coughlin/MacAdoo mindset that resided there for so long. That said, if I see a delayed draw play on a 3rd and long obvious passing down I will murder everything on my street. Grandmothers, toddlers, puppies… I don’t care. EVERYTHING MUST GO!
It’s all yours now.
Hippo. Who was the Broncos QB in that mid-70s Supe they lost 27-10 to Dallas?
Craig Morton.
What has two thumbs and isn’t going to work for the first Sunday in 10 years?

/ my fantasy skills are still atrocious
Go Browns, Go!
I don’t remember, did the Chargers have a defense last year?
I think it was “If the stadium don’t fit, well, just quit.”

Ready for the heartbreak for the Browns?

Big Ben look broken. Big Been no play good. Big Ben says no means yes.
Jeeeeeem comes as the Hail Mary is short.
Mr. Nel, looking at the Ratbirds game: “And we can’t cut away from this for a competitive game? LIke the Browns?”
There is a statement not made by a broadcaster since ever….
strange days, indeed
New thread is up and running.
If it makes my fellow Giants fans any happier, the drive would have ended with Evan Engram dropping a 4th and 12 pass attempt anyway.
The stream here cut out right before the punt. I think the football gods wanted to spare my Wife, her bother and my sister’s husband
Saints are now one score from tying!
Make it Thomas!
Just remember folks, the Browns will Browns once you start believing
One foot, two foot, red foot, blue foot
So, if Pittsburgh loses the game, The Ben has to retire, right?
MOAR TIME TO EAT CHOCO TACOS AND RAPEY THINGS, HARF HARF
The Steelers fan base demands the coaches head and the racists in PA come out in mass.
There will be A LOT of burning trash tossed in his yard

Maybe throw a Saquon or a Beckham back there for the last punt. Someone that can break a long one?
