Your [checks with Brick] “Mid-Morning, Maybe Early Afternoon, Late Autumn-ish, at the very least” Open Thread Featuring Football

Can we just all agree to disagree and pretend as though it wasn’t important yet silently grumble to ourselves about ‘that guy’? It’s The Passive-Aggressive Way! Let’s wander once more into the britches.

TO THE GAMES!

Jets/Titans:

Tenny had plans to ram the ball right down its opponents throats all year long but then Henry did his very best Trent Richardson and everything went kablooey. Well, at least the signing of rb Lewis saved the running game… What’s that? He’s averaging even less per rush than Henry? Oof! The Titans would be wise to attack the Jets secondary-they’ve given up a total of 441 yards to wr’s the last two game. As of this scribbling Bowles hasn’t stated who his lousy qb is for this tilt.

Chiefs/Raiders:

Nine wins vs. nine losses. The respective records will tell you who gonna be walking away with this by halftime. “But Wait!”, RTD screeches. “These AFC West games are always close because this is still the 80’s and 90’s in my mind!” Oh Rikki, I just wish you would lose that number. As the tale of the game tape piles up, Mr. Mahomes has tossed 4 int’s and been sacked 10 times in the last four games. I can’t help thinking he’ll get well against pre-Vegas though.

Vikes/Pats:

Minny’s run D has tightened up quite a bit in the last few weeks to the point that they are 6th-best on a per rush basis. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they still have to deal with New England’s passing game and the refs. Shutter-downer corner Rhodes is a game-timer but I never feel good about cb’s and wr’s with hammy issues and late decisions. Never seems to work out in the player’s favour.

Niners/Seahawks:

These fellers are the new “Not Ready For Prime-Time Players” as decided by… pretty much everyone. I don’t have the exact number but some typer out there stated that San Fran now has the record for being flexed out of the most games. Easy to believe.

Tell me some lies.
