Your “Come On Down, You’re The Next QB Up!” Monday Night Football Open Thread

So I was listening to the fantasy football channel on my way home from work today (not a sponsor) when I heard a yeller describe a specific play as “bananacakes!”. Sure it could be just a coincidence but I think the long reach of DFO is manifesting itself, peoples! Let’s head over to that thing that gets done on Mondays…

Fallout:

-Is this the year of the backup qb? Sure seems like it. The whole football got rolling with a bit of news that resulted in Brissett being under center. From there we’ve seen Minshew, Rudolf, Bridgewater, (Taysom is just a matter of time) Rosen, McCown and tonight Sieman. And Daniel Jones is right around the corner. That’s about 20% of teams leaning on the guy they feared they wouldn’t have to lean on. And we’re all of two weeks in.

-Speaking of the Giants Jones, coach Shurmur won’t commit to Eli this coming week. He’s in a wee tight spot because owner Mara/GM Gettleman are Eli guys but now he’s asserting himself. He’ll win out eventually with the help of the NY media.

-Those fantasy owners that took a flyer on the Steelers James Washington, don’t throw in the Terrible Towel just yet. New qb Mason Rudolf and JW were teammates at Oklahoma State very recently and did some good things together. I’m not saying that they’ll be gangbusters but just give this a chance.

“J’accuse…!”  So says a lady mural painter employed by Mr. Antonio. An unsubstantiated rumor started by me just right now was that the mural was of an id running wild…

-Broncs fans can take solace in the fact that Manny Sanders is back and doing damage again but be aware that he was matched against the incredibly awful cb Buster Skrines yesterday.

-Adam Vinatieri, unless you get your shit together next week, the noble thing to do would be to take the decision out of your coach’s hands and hang up that kicking tee for good.

TO THE GAME!

Browns/Jets:

Good lord, New York is almost literally limping into this tilt. I fear that rb Bell and his wonky shoulder are going to be called on to carry far too much of the load because Siemian and he’s going to break down. Cleveland had a letdown last week and should come out super aggressive. As with all things Cleveland, this one won’t be pretty.

Do that thingy that you do. It’s so sexy!

Just tuned in. Have the Browns looked competent, or are the Jets just Jetsier than the Browns are Browny?

Sharkbait

Yes

Jets are doing a passable imitation of the Iraqi Air Force, circa 1991.

Dunstan

Well, they seem to have borrowed the uniforms of a CFL team.

JustStopDude

It’s…almost….like the Browns.. .should use Chubbs more….

Crazy right?

herodotus450

Hey it’s not easy getting a little Chubb and Browns to fit together smoothly.

JustStopDude

What is this “touchdown” thing?

LemonJello

Touched by Downs? I thought Darnold wasn’t playing?

Spur

this is over now. Gentlemen till Thursday.

jjfozz

I drank a bunch of vodka and tonics at a wedding last night. A bunch.

Sharkbait

Who gets married on a sunday?

jjfozz

My wife’s cousin and her groom paid for the wedding, so they got the place cheap. Nice wedding. My wife’s fucking insane uber christian family was bearable, probably because i drank a gallon of vodka. And ignored them

Sharkbait

Legit. Good move drinking rather than dealing with crazy

JustStopDude

Well the special teams is getting work….

Have the Jets achieved a first down yet?

Sharkbait

By penalty

entropy

Technically, they get one every possession, and Gase thinks that oughta count.

Sharkbait

Baker, you might wanna throw the ball FARTHER than the yards to gain. Not shorter

JustStopDude

Sack by the Jets…we get relegated for this week right?

entropy

The Jets believe pressuring an opposing quarterback will limit his growth as a person, and so do not subscribe to that particular defensive mindset.

JustStopDude

That “Monday Night Mic” was NOT necessary….

jjfozz

I’ve heard of a PB&J sandwich, but never an OBJ Sandwich!

enjoy the trout, i’ll be here at week

Sharkbait

Sure. Trevor Siemian being rusty is making his O line forget how to block

jjfozz

“Gotta help out defense out.”
“Ya think?”

JustStopDude

Fucking LOLjets…

LemonJello

Ah, yes…the turnstile blocking scheme in action.

entropy

They call that the “Holland Tunnel at 3 AM” scheme.

JustStopDude

Random person off the street. Same coordinators as current….win/loss total of you replace the head coach.

Id it is my mother …+2 wins over Hugh Jackson with the Browns (at one point 1-31)

Sharkbait

Will we see a touchdown tonight?

entropy

Well, they’ll do a week 2 recap at halftime, so…. probably then, yeah.

JustStopDude

What do you think this is Thursday Night Football? They need the Rush Uniforms for that!

JustStopDude

Just make it two hand touch ..

Sharkbait

The body weight roughing the passer penalty is insane

King Hippo

Like I said last year, it’s a secret conspiracy to turn me into a raging reactionary

“‘Backup qbs suck!’ ‘Rules that protect the quarterback suck!’ What do you people want!”
-Roger G.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Agreed.

entropy

The 2019 New York Jets: two steps forward, holding penalty, ten yards back.

Unsurprised

Apparently the Disney+ streaming service will have The Simpsons. So there goes $6.99/month for the rest of my life.

King Hippo

hey look, the Jest made a first down after all!

JustStopDude

Forrest Whitaker? Am I gonna have to get cable?

Unsurprised

Nah

JustStopDude

Did you see him in “Battlefield Earth”?!?!

jjfozz

That shit looked awesome

jjfozz

Check out the tits behind the Jets O coordinator! Nice

entropy

Did Siemian just give a “the fuck was THAT playcall” look to Gase?

Unsurprised

Probably. It’s probably his default reaction.

jjfozz

I will never get used to the Bob Burger guy appearing in a commercial. It’s freaky deaky

JustStopDude

I want to eat at Bob’s burgers….I have never been drunk and desperate enough to go to Arby’s.

Sharkbait
JustStopDude

RUN THE FUCKING BALL FOR ONCE!!!

King Hippo

Surprised they didn’t flag that perfectly clean, tough hit

Sharkbait

We’ve replaced Baker Mayfield with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Let’s see if anyone notices

jjfozz

Oldest Fozz Span: “Who in the hell would want to spend time with Adam Schefter?”

Spur

A fate worse than Death.

Unsurprised

At least you raised the kids to be smart.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Free WiFi.

entropy

Gregg Williams looks like he just noticed his toilet is backed up, after he sat down, shit, and flushed.

Sharkbait

This game is gonna get progressively worse isn’t it?

Unsurprised

Cleveland’s playing, so …

JustStopDude

I really hate how we use apostrophes….I mean fellow black people and our names

herodotus450

Trenton Cannon is a pretty fucking awesome name though.

JustStopDude

Don’t get me started on white people names ….

Y’all went crazy…

Wow, this is a first. A simian is coming to New York but he’s being welcomed.

Unsurprised

Adam Gase: Last Defender of the Wildcat.

Spur

No, there is another comment image

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Deep cut!

entropy

Ah, yes. The Joker’s origin is an incel failed standup comedian.

Redshirt

I’ve seen the spoilers. Its worse.

jjfozz

Wow the people at lego’s ad agency are fucking crazy bonkers tripping balls

Spur

Those wacky Dutch

Viva La Tabula Raza

Glad I wasn’t tripping on acid or shrooms when I saw that Lego ad. Though for a moment I thought I was.

JustStopDude

Is there any team that refuses to acknowledge the run game like the Browns?

King Hippo

Bleached Assholes very much appreciate

herodotus450

Isn’t there a football player somewhere, sometime named Will Butcher?

jjfozz

My most hated teams this year: Browns, Patriots, Steelers, the entire staff of ESPN

entropy

You leave Katie Nolan alone.

King Hippo

#HumpMyStump?

Unsurprised

He did make a porn movie after it got reattached

Redshirt

Are you threatening or propositioning?

King Hippo

CHRIST, that’s hot. I need a lithe, angry brunette to verbally abuse me for a few hours

Unsurprised

And she’s clearly pro-choice so she’s probably down for whatever.

King Hippo

NO RUBBERS FOR US AMIRITE!!??

Redshirt

Hey you guys treat my future ex-wife with respect!

Unsurprised

We already banned him from the clubhouse, right?

herodotus450

But his no pants stance is quite intriguing…

herodotus450

That’s dangerously close to pantsdering, get him out of here.

Redshirt

I dunno. He is a beer enthusiast.

entropy

Ugh this fucking team

JustStopDude

Of course Baker tries to get his receiver murdered…

Unsurprised

Butcher. Baker. Coffin Lid Maker.

jjfozz

Bullshit call

King Hippo

Hold my beer! – yesterday’s Donks crew

Spur

Some fighting will keep the at home audience engaged.
Good job Jets.

Spur

yeah, that hurt.

Sharkbait

Wait, Berman is hosting a show on another platform, that I need to PAY for?

King Hippo

ah, the halcyon days of Trever Siemian sucks! v. no, Trevor Siemian is a God amongst men

/ideal cost-controlled backup and I really hate my fanbase (DFO folks and the old It’s All Over Fat Man site excepted)

Unsurprised

I miss Trevor Semen. He seemed like a good kid.

King Hippo

we should have Missing Commentist Day sometime
