Your “Slouching is a *kind* of Posture!” Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

Only three games on the late sked but we’ll make the best of it, won’t we? My couch groove is making it really difficult for me to ignore these games that are completely ignorable. Plus I’ve got dry-roasted peanuts! (I mix them together with regular salt and vinegar peanuts. That way, you can really taste the salt) And beer. And scotch! And spiked lemonade! And ice water! My options make this basement seem like a Horn of Plentiness. TO THE GAMES!

Bolts/Raiders:

There’s nothing much stopping Phil and the Gang from running roughshod over this lousy crew. Unless Gruden has found a way to channel overall discontent and disinterest into turnovers, TD’s and an effective game plan. Nope, sure looks like Gordon is gonna get his third straight 100+ game. But the bigger question-will he average more than 7+ yards per carry for the 3rd week in a row? That stat is mighty impressive indeed. Chargers romp in a game of no interest to anyone outside the betting/fantasy community.

Fins/Packers:

Hey look here-we’ve got an inter-conference yawner on our eyebulbs! Just… how is Miami still a game over .500? Smoke, mirrors, bells, whistles, charms, blackmail, pipe dreams, voodoo-most likely all of these have factored in at one point in the season.

Seahawks/Rams:

Damn, does it ever bother me that wordpress doesn’t recognize ‘Seahawks’ as legit. Anyway, the Rams gave up their loss virginity last week and now face a Seattle squadoo that doesn’t have their collective butts up their collective ani(?) any more. Whatever. Goff at home is nothing to be scoffed at.

Let the footballs fly!
