Your “Let’s Keep This Bus Rolling” mid-Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

If the tilts keep coming I’ll keep doing the intros. TO THE GAMES!

 

Oak/LAC:

The things you learn when you do a bit of homework: rook safety Derwin James is by far the top-rated first year player that plays in the secondary, according to PFF. That rating system also places him 4th overall among all players. The guy leads the team in sacks, plays the outfield, plays on the edge and does work at slot corner! Are you kidding me? This fella might just be something.

Min/Phi:

The Vikes D that was #1 in points allowed last year is now 18th after four weeks. (maybe you should play Ajayi, scotch) More bad news-Minny’s league-worst rushing attack figures to stay that way as Dalvin Cook sits another game out this week.

Ari/SF:

This should be the bestest of chances for the Cards to grab a W even though they’ve got a rook qb starting for them. C.J. Beathard, who otherwise shows no signs of being concussed, recently stated on the sports radio that the Niners are a playoff team! Everyone together now-say “Oof!”

LAR/Sea:

After much hand-wring and pearl-clutching and decisioning I’ve decided to split my chances between Goff and Brees in my money leagues. I can’t go against Breezy at home and I have to play Goff until he lays an egg. (note to my fantasy buddies in Ottawa that don’t read the site-how did you let me get Goff in the 10th round in one league and for $4 in the auction?) Methinks The Goffer is going to expose the once mighty Legion of Boom for what it is now-older, missing some key parts and quite vulnerable in the secondary. Prove me right, youngster!

Let’s do that thing we do.

Dakota Jeebus is really, really stupid.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m just glad the NFL gifted the Raiders that win so I don’t have to spend time worrying if they are going to join the 0-16 club.

Senor Weaselo

Who made the offerings to Shan’khor this week? They should do it more often because she is definitely been doing her thing today.

Gatoraids

Sacrificed Mason Crosby career to the doink lord

Back to the Home Depot parking lot he goes.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

O HAI SHAN’KHOR

King Hippo

Have a day, Gurley Man!

King Hippo

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! thanks BLEERGH!

Mr. Ayo

Praise SHANK’LOR

Kate Beckinsale to Star in Charlie Day’s Directorial Debut ‘El Tonto’ – Hollywood satire about a mute simpleton who gets off a bus in Los Angeles and accidentally rises through the Hollywood scene to become a celebrity.

Unsurprised

He also wrote the film. I’m intrigued.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That sounds suspiciously similar to “The Jerk”.

Gatoraids

Being There sequel: I like to watch

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Well, last time I turned the Raiders game off in frustration because I expected their opponents to casually kneel out the clock it turned out good, so let’s see if I can make it two for two.

Unsurprised

Hey

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hey your username is how I feel about the Raiders’ performance.

Pederson has a very large pair.

King Hippo

quien es un CATCH?

Brocky

Alright knuckleheads, I’m putting a story together for later tonight, I’d like your opinion on 2 questions:

What quarterback do you associate the most with the phrase “lack of arm strength”

And which one do you think of most with the phrase “inaccurate”?

Sharkbait

Tebow?

nomonkeyfun

Active: laserface and peypey
Retired: pennington and most jests

King Hippo

1) Alex Smith (unless historical, then Pennington)

2) Elisha or Brokeback (unless historical, then TEBOW!!111 or Akili Smith)

Spanky Datass

“Arm strength lack” Gary Hogeboom.
“Inaccurate” Vince Young

King Hippo

why isn’t OAK going for the win???

Senor Weaselo

Because that wouldn’t be a GRUDEN GRINDER thing to do?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Ha ha, I just realized if you drop some letters from Jared Goff you get Ja’goff.

King Hippo

The Donks’ potty-mouth humour guy goes withn “You’re Not Beatin’ Goff”

Col. Duke LaCross

For chrissakes Goff, you still have Woods on your team!

Senor Weaselo

I’d be okay with more Gurley touches!

King Hippo

I wanted a passing score to Gurley Man, but will take this. I need a buffer for tonight, when I just have Hopkins left, opponent just Watson.

nomonkeyfun

Only with her consent.

King Hippo

Let’s RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!!

Good job not fumbling in the open field, Bryant!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The defense is on their heels! Checkdown time!

#BabySteps

blaxabbath

One takeaway from seeing Carr live, that dude has a touch with little room for error. Those passes are jjuuuuussstttt over the linebackers when he goes across the middle.

Senor Weaselo

Run-scoring balk, 3-0 Dirt Packers. #Rocktober might be a short month this year.

King Hippo

Tis ok, they DID THEIR JOB.

King Hippo

26-3, the door is ajar, Raiders!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s within three scores!

King Hippo

Convert all 3 2-pointers, y’all WINS now

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“IT’S NOT FAIR THE WAY THEY MAKE US THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO GET A SACK BUT THEN THROW IT OVER OUR HEADS TO A RUNNING BACK!” – Raiders defenders

blaxabbath

With Fitz in, what should be, his last year it’s nice to see Chandler Jones will be the next HOF individual to waste his career stats away in the desert.

blaxabbath

How high were expectations for RTD with this Raiders team as of, say, July 15th?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You saw my preview; I had them at 8-8. They’re worse than I expected, but not that much worse.

blaxabbath

Are they .500 with Mack then?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[benefit from 10 yard penalty]

[give up 12 yard play]

[benefit from another 10 yard penalty]

[give up 20+ yard play]

That’s My Raiders!

blaxabbath

46 is not a number I see often…

King Hippo

Captain Dingleberry is still a terribad QB who telegraphs his passes. Sorry – the IGGLES have just been shittastic.

King Hippo

the differential in play quality between the two windows has been stark

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I hope Carr is taking money to shave points because at this point he might as well profit from it a little.

Who wouldn’t want to cover up a tight end?

One REALLY hopes he took fifties all day for some private time with THAT particular corpse.

Okay the Raiders have left me dead inside; I can now watch the rest of this game in a state of relative calm.

Mother Puncher

Any chance for some Cooper garbage time TD?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Who? Amari Cooper? No, they cut him two weeks ago.

LemonJello

In a just world, Cowherd would die in a freak burning woodchipper accident.

nomonkeyfun

Too humane.

Fire ants all the way.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Maybe he dove into the flaming woodchipper to get away from the fire ants?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The second squadron of fire ants. The first was already stinging him half to death.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

I might allow it if it is feet first.

LemonJello

As long as no fire ants are harmed in this process, I’m ok with this.

Preferably during a Brett Kavannah-led bender that somehow involves a clumsy Susan Collins and Joe Manchin.

Cooks ded.

Gratliff

DEs are gonna start throwing lariats at QBs cause fuck it, you’re getting the flag anyway

Doktor Zymm

That would be really impressive, proper lasso technique is difficult!

Unsurprised

That would be hilarious and awesome.

fleshwound_NPG

soon there is gonna be a d-lineman that’s gonna get pissed at a shitty roughing call and next play dives at the QB’s knees

hopefully it’s brady

fleshwound_NPG

ref: hitting the QB, 15 yard penalty, first down new england

ref 2: pats don’t play this week
