Your “On To Victory! (*Not Applicable To Jets or Fins)” Sunday NFL Football Open Thread

Why don’t teams have V-L-T (or draw) records? How did the short and curt ‘win’ win out? Is it because ‘victory’ is a bit melodramatic? Perhaps. I’d suggest a new word and that is ‘wictory’. It’s new and exciting and just rolls off Elmer Fudd’s tongue. TO THE GAMES!

Ravens/Chiefs:

All corneas should be on this one. There was lots of chatter about Arizony picking up the pace with Kingsbury showing up but the team that is the Hurry Up king so far is Baltimore at an average of 72.5 offensive plays per game. PFF’s highest ranked O player is… tight end Mark Andrews? They’ve remarked that he only plays 55% of the teams snaps and that is a travesty. But perhaps his grade is so high because of his limited participation?

Bengals/Bills:

Well, he’s gone and done it. Thanks to Singletary’s injury Frank Gore is the very first solid RB2 at the age of 36. Why? Because the Bengals are the worst tackling team in the league and Mr. Gore loves to break himself tackles. He’s got to go for at least 80 and a score.

Miami/Dallas:

The Fins are leading the league in fewest points scored, most sacks allowed, most INT’s allowed and most points scored against by opposing D’s. Call a family member rather than watch this Atrocity Exhibition.

Broncs/Pack:

Fantasy owners of Aaron Jones were the opposite of delighted at the news that coach LaFleur wants to up the number of touches that Jamaal Williams gets, creating a potential RBBC. Kudos go out to wr Sanders for his phenomenal recovery.

Falcons/Colts:

We were told that Brissett was a very conservative tosser of the football and this has been proven the first two weeks. No one aside from T.Y. has more than 40 yds. receiving so far. That’s a recipe for a losing record. Am I right, yeah right?

Raiders/Vikes:

Minny’s running game is all roses and pink unicorns but the same certainly can’t be said about Cousins and the passing game. Of the 42 players that have tossed at least one pass so far he ranks dead last. His QBR is a nasty 16.6-for comparison’s sake Mahomes is at 92.9. Sure he’ll get better but he won’t ever be good enough to take the Vikes to a conference championship game.

Jets/Pats:

The spread is 22.5. The Pats D hasn’t given up a TD yet. The Jets are playing their 3rd string qb. Is this what you want NFL? Really? Probably.

Lions/Eagles:

The Eagles secondary as a unit has handed opposing qb’s a 127 qb rating. They’ve just one INT and given up 5 TDs. Start Chubby Bubblegum. Now. By the by, you may want to pick up J.J. Arcega-Whiteside while he’s still cheap.

Did I miss anything? I hope not. There’s also some soccer going on. DAZN tells me that Sassuola/SPAL, Brom/Hudder, HAM/MAN, Lecce/Napoli, Palace/Wolves, Chelsea/Liver and Arse/Aston among many others are on offer this morning.

Have at it.

Motherfucker I may take a trip to Jersey next weekend just to tackle Falk myself to show him it’s not the worst fucking thing to take a hit and still deliver the pass

entropy

Jets are threatening to turn ut over dangerously close to the red zone.

Spur

Can Cincy score?

Doktor Zymm

What’s with the existential philosophy questions?

Redshirt

HA!

Spur

Brioche

Dunstan

Neither. But if those are the options, pretzel. Brioche is too sweet.

LemonJello

Yes.

entropy

Pretzel!

Doktor Zymm

pretz

Spur

Dak looking good.

Redshirt

You misspelled decades.

Doktor Zymm

How fun would it be if the refs ejected Brady from the game for being a dick?

Gatoraids

Nfl would sooner eject the ref over brady

entropy

They’d shoot that poor bastard

King Hippo

yeah, he was RIGHT but will be looking for work on Monday I bet

I’m having flashbacks to the 1990s Bengals. I don’t know whether to cry or to dig out my SNES and play some Zelda: A Link to the Past.

King Hippo

good Christ, Jest…

entropy

“WE STOPPED EM ON THIRD DOWN!!! What? Penalty? Yeah, take it. We’ll stop em again!”

Spur

Donks Lineman suplexes Lindsay into the endzone.

King Hippo

Lindsay Bluth WOO!!!

Doktor Zymm

That was pretty damn impressive!

King Hippo

especially given he’s smaller than me!

Spur

Quinn rides the Rosen pony

Doktor Zymm

So in December I have an AA flight scheduled on the MAX 8 right when it comes back into service. Also AA has been in labor disputes with their mechanics and one was recently arrested for intentionally sabotaging a plane. I figure the combination of the two will bring the safety level of flying down to be about on par with driving on the highway with a Takata airbag.

LemonJello

With the rain in KC, it was good fortune that today was “Andy Reid BBQ Bib Giveaway Day.”

herodotus450

NTY

Doktor Zymm

TY AND GOODNIGHT

Gratliff

Think Darius Slay just fucked his achilles trying to grab a shoestring pick

entropy

Hmmm. How on earth did Falk ever lose his college starting job? He’s so calm under pressure!

King Hippo

THERE is your Founding FathersDOWN, Fronk!

entropy

I may be rooting for Falk to get injured now.

Spur

MUCH IMPROVED Dallas drive. Kellen Moore can make adjustments!

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMFAO

King Hippo

DAK DAK DAK DAK!!!

/fucking FINALLY

Gratliff

I’m only following Cowboys-Fins through play by play and it sounds like absolute clownshoes

Doktor Zymm

Patriots receivers are expendable commodities. Why do they even bother putting the names on the jerseys?

entropy

Makes it easier to identify the bodies?

Dunstan

Well, put the names on the white ones, so the crowd knows which names to yell.

entropy

They just yell “WHITE GUY” with an inflection approximating the white guy’s name, anyway

Doktor Zymm

I really should have started Valdes-Scantling, he’s doing aight

entropy

Jets OC: “now, you see, Luke, what you did here, is you SUCK. Try to do that less next series.”

Doktor Zymm

The Jets may be sucking like a brand new Dyson, but at least their helmets are a spiffy shiny green!

entropy

Apparently they were told that college-level play came with the college level uniforms.

Dunstan

None of whom work in the Dolphins’ front office

entropy

Who in the Falk was that throw even TO?!

bk109

To Gene Skeletor for his cogent explanation why we were only shown one angle on the Dorsett catch?

entropy

Yeah… that was a catch. No idea how that got upgeld.6

LemonJello

I will now believe that Skeletor’s first name is Gene…

Dalton just underthrew a Hail Mary attempt.

entropy

Watch how fast we can get this 3 and out!

King Hippo

Wow, Dreamboat lost his challenge!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Today’s Jeopardy:
Clue: I’d really appreciate it if the Ravens could stop being stupid.
Answer: What is…a bridge too far?

ballsofsteelandfury

I apologize. That’s on me. Earlier, I said your team was good.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I KNEW YOU HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING DO WITH IT SOMEHOW!!!!!

entropy

Hey buddy!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey my friend. How’s things?

entropy

Still a Jets fan, so y’know. Awful.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hit me up on email when you feel up to it.

entropy

Will do.

Doktor Zymm

Chest injury? So Edelman has a bruised nipple duct?

entropy

Am I the only one who thinks all these Apple TV+ whatever shows are all fakes or parodies? They all seem like jokes

Col. Duke LaCross

Like every movie or show on Seinfeld.

ballsofsteelandfury

So, who is ready for some Sevilla-Real Madrid action?!?

/ducks

BLEERGH’s about to screw over Cincy.

King Hippo

My fantasy squadron NEEDS same.

entropy

Because that is what Buffalo fans need: more stress on their clogged arteries!

King Hippo

He really is a dumbass out there. Athletic dumbass, sure.

King Hippo

“Special” >>> garden variety stupid

Doktor Zymm

‘Encroachment’ is called far more often than ‘Enroachment’ which involves flicking the spent end of your joint at the QB

herodotus450

About as rare as “butt-ending” in hockey

entropy

Alternatively, “enroachment” refers to infesting your opponent’s locker room with cockroaches before a game.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I think the ref on the KC game has had a cleft palate surgically repaired.

Redshirt

Dalton showed anger? He knows how to feel anger?!

Gratliff

Dolphins are going to do a good enough job making Dallas look bad, but they’re physically incapable of actually winning a game

Doktor Zymm

I appreciate the making Dallas look like crap though

Dunstan

CBS reports that Andy Reid said “I’m not sweating the running game.”

It’s true. He’s sweating gravy and BBQ sauce.

Viva La Tabula Raza

LOLfins

Dunstan

You can’t make me watch.

Redshirt

THEY DID IT!!! THE BENGALS GOT A FIRST DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gatoraids

They’re going the distance… they’re going to punt

entropy

While I am screaming mostly about the Jets ineptitude, Mahomes/Jackson really needs to be a more frequent matchup. It looks like it will be infinitely better than Brady/Manning.

Gratliff

Joe Flacco has exactly 0 points after 1 half. The gritty reboot is not great.

Spur

who’s the backup?

bk109

Brandon Allen… yeah, drawing a blank here too!

Dunstan

Fouts won’t let this “the crowd is winning the game for KC” thing go. Having been wrong about the Ravens going for it on 4th down, he’s now blaming the failed 2-pt conversion for KC scoring on the next three possessions.

Doktor Zymm

And here I thought it was their superior ability to score TDs that was winning the game for KC

Dunstan

But the crowd is WILLING the Chiefs to those TDs, buoyed by the excitement of only having given up six points instead of eight!

Redshirt

Zac Taylor has burned through both Challenges in one half. That’s good hustle!
