Your “Today is the Day” Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

“The day for what?”, you ask. It’s still too early to tell but I guarantee you something will happen and when it does we’ll both know. At that precise moment you’ll say, “Damnit scotch, you were right all along. I’d rather strangle my own mother than doubt you ever again!” I’ll just lean back, take a long hard draw on my Kool cigarette and say those magical three words that indicate that all is well in the world once again- “TO THE GAMES!”

Cincy/Atl:

Ridley me this statman-why does a rook wr with 3 games under his balls-protector have more TDs than his much more talented teammate has in the last 15 games? My Julio-than-thou take? Ridley is a burgeoning wr1 that is getting single coverage . T’were this to happen again today he’ll no doubt lengthen his 4-0 TD lead over Jones. Also, GO TEVIN!

TB/CHI:

Last I heard the Bucs were going to keep riding the Fitzmagic Bus all the way thru the Bears’ alimentary canal. GO MS. FRIZZLE!

Det/Dal:

Has Patricia The Stripper turned the Lions D around or was the stunning result last week only due to his intimate knowledge of how the Pats O works? If it’s the former than I look forward to the Cowjerks going into full panic mode when they are in possession of a 1-3 record.

Buff/GB:

Buffalo is t’udder squadoo coming off the massive upset. Despite fumbling 3 times rook qb Josh Allen inserted a wee bit of oxygen into the limp body of the Bills O. For his next trick he’ll try to make wr Benjamin relevant again. Just kidding, he’s very much prone to mistakes and will have a lousy stat line at game’s end.

Phi/Ten:

Rb Ajayi and his fractured back are a go this week. Makes me feel bad about that time I called in sick because I had a bad dream. (yeah, I had a waitress co-worker do just that-she was a bit loopy and more than just a little dramatic) There’s an indication that wr Jeffrey is a go today but I didn’t see where he was cleared for contact. If he does play I’m sure he’s on a limited snap count so don’t throw him into your lineup just yet. There, I just forced him to score a couple TDs and rack up 150 yards.

Hou/Indy:

You must think that de Watt is going to get to Luck at least a few times (Colts are down 2 starting o-line guys) before he breaks his ankleshoulder in an injury that is, in his words, “the worst injury anyone has ever suffered. Period.” Btw, start wr Fuller because the shaky Colts secondary will be all eyes on Hopkins.

Mia/NE:

I don’t have the exact numbers in front of me but I believe the Pats are eleventy-five and less than zero after a loss. The Fins are gonna be exposed as the worstest 3-0 team ever.

NYJ/Jax:

The Jets-now known as “The Browns Win-Givers” are coming off a loss much like the Jags. However one of these teams is not like the other and that latter team is gonna add another W to their record.

Time for you guys to have your fun…

Packers have learned their lesson and are now gently cuddling the QB to the ground

Yet another FF by Mack

King Hippo

The only blood in BloodSugarFitzMagic today will be in his stool.

King Hippo

ohhhhhhh Tanny Fanny!!!! Tanny Fanny.

/to tune of “Wooly Bully”

They are being serious. And don’t call them Shirley.

Gratliff

There is a goddamn terrible game taking place in Tennessee

King Hippo

at a certain point, y’all may commence worrying. Though the shittiness of the division shall save ya.

litre_cola

Yep, best of the mediocre.

Gratliff

Even beyond the fact that we really just got what we wanted last year, the fact is that literally no team in the division is even trying

fleshwound_NPG

evergreen post

Spur

That’s how Tennessee wants it. A 3-2 win would be ideal.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“That’s how Tennessee wants it.” – Mrs. Williams, explaining her outfit choice to a friend

Spur

Look at this, Princeton Red is feeding the ball to Zeke. What a weird idea.

Fronkenshteen

It won’t last.

King Hippo

11 for 11 for 111. How mathematically delightful.

herodotus450

Lemme know when Darnold playing for the JESTS gets to 9/11 for Building7 Yards.

Spur

Blatant holding by Green Bay on that Rodgers run but whatever.

C’mon, the humidity plays havoc with my hair.

Is that a fake mustache back there?

fleshwound_NPG

Bucs you makin the Biscuitcannon look like Joe Montana, what you doin???

King Hippo

My #HAILGAMBLOR looks mighty good (early window only).

litre_cola

Shhhhhhhh

Gatoraids

What a shitty pass and of course LoL phins let it score

King Hippo

Iggles fans enjoy seeing Dakota Jeebus bend his knee like that?

Spur

Titans look sneakily good.

litre_cola

I am going to lose a bottle of booze to Don T over this.

fleshwound_NPG

in that division, you don’t need to be THAT good

King Hippo

They’re about as fun to play as getting an unmedicated root canal.

Dallas and Detroit vying for the right to start planning for the draft.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If Derrick Henry can pretend to be a competent option today, I might have a shot at beating Senor

litre_cola

He is not. He is terrible. So disappointing.

litre_cola

Same here.

Spur

Heath got shook out of his jock.

GioDOWN WOO!!!!!

Touchdown, Geo Bernard!

JAMAAL ADAMS WOOO!!

Zebras missed a false starting Bengal.

Trubisky > DAK ?

Doktor Zymm

Ham on a biscuit?

fleshwound_NPG

Biscuit can AT LEAST hit 200 yards

litre_cola

Derrick Henry is the most disappointing FF player in the league this year.

King Hippo

sorry for the shit advice

litre_cola

Everyone put in Doug Baldwin NOW!

herodotus450

Like my grandpappy used to say, “don’t draft Alabammy running backs.”
Henry, Lacy, Richardson, Ingram(?), etc.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Multitasking with two games on tvs, one on gamecast, DFO, and a work memo may be slightly too much.

King Hippo

yeah, fuck off that memo.

litre_cola

Have a beer.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I have a flight in front of me.

Or rather half a flight left.

King Hippo

OR a bump…

fleshwound_NPG

even moar biscuitcannons!

King Hippo

Dreamboat looks cooked, y’all.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Guerrero has something for that

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Kind of hard to take something from “cooked” back to “juiced” but if anyone can…

Fronkenshteen

Yup

fleshwound_NPG

still don’t know what to think of a bears offense that’s even SLIGHTLY competent

Doktor Zymm

Don’t worry, you probably won’t have time to get used to it

King Hippo

Bet on Bearistocrats! looks a’ight, at least.

Gratliff

Well, Bucs, you had a good 3 week run.

Doktor Zymm

There’s even a couple gints fans!

Is there a place in this country that doesn’t have loads of obnoxious Cow fans? Maybe Philly? I bet Eagles fans are pretty good at keepin em down. Lots of Bears fans in Oakland too, unexpected. And of course some jackass in a Cubs shirt

Jameis Winston will make a fine GOP senator.

Doktor Zymm

He’s got the disdain for women down, but he’s got an awful lot of melanin

Spur

He’s one of the good ones.

King Hippo

You just look at that sociopathic plus moe-ron glare, and you wonder how he’s not on Death Row already.

Spur

Dak bomb.

Gratliff

Ohhh, I didn’t realize we reached that critical point where Fitzmagic starts a controversy and immediately turns back into Ryan Fitzpatrick

Redshirt

Fitzy’s like a middle reliever. He’s good once through the lineup, but by the 2nd time through the hitter gets wise to what’s he throwing.

Redshirt

Ridley tripped over the blue line on the field.

Fronkenshteen

Leonard got that sack, dammit.

Spur

God, i hate Bill O’Brien. Just wasting players in their prime.

King Hippo

Buttchinski gon’ buttchin!

Fronkenshteen

Gordon please?

King Hippo

goddamnit, Michel. I need you to vanquish DonT

litre_cola

He and I have a bet on the Tits Iggles game. PR rum for Canadian whisky

Redshirt

Thank you, ref. Way to force Cincy to burn that timeout.

yeah right

Hell of a guitar player. R.I.P indeed.

...

First time in 1st place since 2013 lol Bears

King Hippo

are you willing to BELIEVE the prophecy yet?

I just read that in Morpheus’ voice in “Matrix”.

#GOLOLphins.

Keep covering AJ Green, 1-on-1, Atlanta.

King Hippo

This is why I bet on youse, That defense might as well be paper mache.

Redshirt

Our defense is weak though. And hurting.

King Hippo

you at least have one good CB. And all things being equal, I like your skill players better.
