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…

38-33 would be a nice win, especially since I am fading Matt Bryant in fantasy.

I haven’t heard people in Atlanta boo that much since 1864.

It was the right call though.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sherman’s, right?

Mother Puncher

Sherman’s right.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup. He burned ’em too, just like the officials just did.

LOL, I’m cracking myself up over here.

King Hippo

Los Titanicos!

..and here comes a Blocked FG TD.

Or not. Just had a feeling.

I believe Dalton was down before the ball came loose.

Aaaand that’s why they call ’em the Bungles

25-12 Scorigami?

I just got a text message from the Bengals telling me to stretch out. I’m their 6th string RB.

Alex Erickson: Wide Receiver/Kick Returner/Punt Returner and now Running Back. Its official.

King Hippo

it’s a bird, it’s a plane, NO – it’s SUPER HONKY!!

Mother Puncher

*future Patriot. . .

Spur

On the 4 yard line, Zeke should have been running it 3 times in a row. Fucking Garrett.

Gatoraids

Osweiler vs Hoyer now Miami game is on

Redshirt

UPDATE: Bengals Backup RB is hurt. Emergency Backup is their 4th-string WR.

King Hippo

FEED GIO

Redshirt

Alex Erickson owners: “REST GIO”

Mother Puncher

Erickson? Figure they’d use a TE before that

King Hippo

yeah, I’d be exposing my half-ded QB to hits with a 19-point Q4 lead at home, too. Mike McCarthy is maybe the dumbest coach in the NFL.

Ian Scott McCormick

Mike McCarthy truly is a beaver because every decision leaves you thinking “Damn!”

Mother Puncher

I have no evidence, but it seems Dalton leads the league in interceptions via balls his receivers volleyball bump into the air

Redshirt

Per Bengals radio, he’s starting to be pissed about the receivers making him look bad.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Strong opinions based on no evidence? Sir, this is the internet.

Spur

Haha. that slowmo of Rodgers getting hit.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Apparently he plays best with limited organ function.

King Hippo

1-nil, Dirt Packers!!

Spur

Ridley Down! I picked well today

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ditto over here. But imma still lose.
I picked poorly elsewhere, as usual.

theeWeeBabySeamus

If Jordan Howard and Chris Ivory would wake the fuck up it would help, however.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Apparently Nagy wants Trubs to catch up to Mahomes in TD passes asap.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Oh Cincy, WTF man??????

Redshirt

Bengals are bad at Halftime Adjustments. Also Eifert getting his foot torn off did help things physically and mentally.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yeah, I just picked him up this morning but left him on the bench today.
I guess I need to go find another TE now.

FF’ing is hard.

litre_cola

Holy fuck does Derryck Henry suck.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

/checks FF score

Yup

Spur

Titans looking frisky again.

...

Goddam it. We only get one good bear team I guess.

King Hippo

2-nil #BFIB!!! And Los Tigres are starting somebody I’ve never heard of v. the Dirt Packers.

Gratliff

Zeke got fucked up on that hurdle

litre_cola

No complaints here

Fronkenshteen

Why does he do that shit?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Wow, I haven’t seen dolphins take a beating like this since the mid 80s before the tuna industry got woke.

theeWeeBabySeamus

How can it be roughing the passer when he didn’t even manage to get the pass off?
That’s bullshit.
Fuck Matt Ryan. Fuck Atlanta.

Per radio, Andy Dalton is red with fury after that last INT.

Redshirt

They called a Horsecaller on the guy who couldn’t see where he was tackling because he was being facemasked. Okay…

King Hippo

oh, Red Rocket.

Landry just blasted Wentz. That looked painful.

Kerryon Johnson can fucking play

Senor Weaselo

Visiting Hermana Weaselo was a much better idea than watching the Jets. We’re at Angry Orchard!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Don’t give these guys ideas.

Did they kick a field goal the wrong way?

The Bills turned back into the Bills rather suddenly, huh?

A Moment of Silence for those who started Tyler Eifert and any other Bengals offensive players.

King Hippo

/except Gio he a’ight though underutilized

Redshirt

They’re afraid to break Gio.

“Shatley” is a great NFL name.

Come on Cincy, do it for ol’ Peg Leg Eifert!

The MVP of this game has absolutely been my daughter who has napped for the entire time my wife has been out getting her hair done.

If I could spend money on my daughter in DFO, I totally would.

this is like watchin the old creamsickle shitty bucs

I just love how Julio Jones just stood there like his brain couldn’t process “I didn’t catch it?”
