Your “Pass That Torch!” Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

TO THE (late) GAMES!

Panthers/Cards:

Things don’t look very good for Kyle Allen. The left side of his line is in lousy shape and this fella wasn’t even able to finish the one game he got into last year. Carolina will have to lean even more heavily on McCaffrey, who is my choice for the next star player to be dealt a significant injury.

Giants/Bucs:

If you’re in a deep league you could do worse than picking up wr T.J. Jones of the Gmen. Hear me out. As evidenced by his 60+ yd. kick return and his TD last week he’s the only guy with explosive speed on NY’s wr corpse. As backup, Danny Dimes (god I hate that nickname) dealt with seconds (in the literal and metaphorical sense) and so has worked with T.J. often. Usually when a sub plays, the guys that he’s most comfortable with will get extra reps. I don’t like the Giants chances here but I do look forward to the opening up of the playbook for the first time in four years or so. Now available are some Run/Pass options, more believable play action, rollouts and deep throws downfield. You should play Evans and Godwin and even O.J. Howard (despite his big zilcho last week) because the secondary is in really big trouble at the moment

Texans/Chargers:

L.A.’s wr Allen should feast on an underwhelming Houston crew whose safeties are adequate in the run game but useless passing-wise. Their best corner is the very pedestrian Johnathon Joseph.  They’d better pray for tons of pressure from the D-line.

Steelers/Niners:

Say it with me-Richie Jones Jr. Who? He’s the guy that has run more times (11 more times) out of the slot than Goodwin. The Steelers slot corner is basically a pylon that has given up 31 catches for 435 yds and 4 TDs. After 2 games!

Saints/Seahawks:

It’s The Teddy Taysom Show! Coach Payton is right to make this a timeshare at the qb position. Bridgewater was an average guy way back in 2015 but has done all of 31-51 for 235 yards, one TD and two INT’s since that time when his leg/knee went all kablooie.

Enjoy the tilts!

Felicity Huffman joke, drink!

Wow, Best Actress in a comedy series category is stacked, and I mean that mainly in the non-creepy way.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Wow, all those people around that announcer at the Cleveland game have had lobotomies, apparently.

So Philadelphia, Dallas, and New York all have their franchise QBs for the foreseeable future. Washington appears to not even care if they have a QB.

Well, that shaman DID warn Danny that FedEx Field was built on an Indian burial ground.

hippofant

What are you talking about? Washington has like 10 QBs.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Oh poor Texans having to play when its in the mid 80s! Fuck, where they practice it’s 100% humidity and 95 fucking degrees all goddam day for 6 months of the year. They can handle that namby-pamby SoCal 85 degrees.

How has Floatlord not figured out how to throw a spiral in 25 years of football?

Spur

Wow that untimed down, may have won me DFO FFL.

King Hippo

This a pretty fun late window, eh?

Eli will be all sad and unhappy being pushed to a corner and drinking an off brand juice box (only winners get brand names) while the new guy gets all the credit and adulation.

Spur

Eli’s sneaking in a beer. he’s earned it

LemonJello

Maybe a butter beer.

ArmedandHammered

He was thinking of a ginger beer, but he thought heard his mother say that gingers steal souls.

Bolts vs Starry Eyed Steer pretty fucking good game so far.

Spur

I prefer to call them the Concussed Steers

Viva La Tabula Raza

That’s more appropriate. I just pulled the starry eyed thing out of the air.

King Hippo

Believe it or not, the ML was only +240. Rapey Jameis and pals suck.
