Perusing team stats it’s remarkable how playing the Fins skews pretty much everything from ‘good’ to ‘wowzers!’. Average rushing yards, sacks, pressures, passes defended-it just goes on and on. You’d think that players on teams that have Miami on their sked towards the end of the season might have to pay out a part of their individual bonuses to the Fins, especially dudes on the Pats, Bills and Jets.
TO THE GAMES!
Titans/Falcons:
Good news for Matt, Julio and Calvin-the Tennessee secondary is giving up passes to outside receivers at a 75% clip. Yeah, that’s right, three of every four passes is successful.
Pats/Bills:
Dare we dream the dream? I’ve got faith that Josh can escape pressure from the ends with those wheels of his but that Pats secondary of Jones, McCourty and Gilmore is a crack unit. Not helping matters is that Bills wr’s have eight dropped passes already-good for third in the league. I think the Buffalo front seven can hold up their end of the bargain and force Brady to quicken his throws and he might not get much help from Edelman, who has some chest/ribs thing going on.
Chiefs/Lions:
Do you have T.J. Hockenson Buyers Remorse? It’s a real condition that might just be cured by playing from behind the entire game to K.C. Catching just one pass for more than eight yards will shatter his previous two week’s combined output.
Raiders/Colts:
A player prop to consider? How about Brissett throwing for less/more than 221.5. He tossed more than 300 last week but is a very tentative guy usually and has no T.Y. this week. What to do, what to do…
Chargers/Fins:
All (most) of L.A.’s skill guys are off today-wr Williams, rb Jackson, te’s Henry and Green among them. Is your fantasy team all banged up like mine and you’re looking for a spot starter at the flex? You could do worse than Dontrelle Inman.
Potato Skins/Giants:
These guys should be able to score at will on each other, just not on the ground. I’m throwing rook wr McLaurin in there today because Janoris Jenkins is giving up a 140 QB rating to the guy he covers.
Browns/Ravens:
When does Baker, Baker The Touchdown Maker come out of hiding? Betcha Jarvis Landry is re-thinking his open-arms approach to OBJ joining the team. He’s averaging less than 60 yards receiving per game.
Panthers/Texans:
The Carolina D is allowing a paltry 189 yards through the air so far this year. Deshaun should murderkill that number this week.
Do your blurst!
KMFDM down 1-0. Fuck absolutely everything.
Every time I see “KMFDM” I hear decent industrial music from the 90s.
this is why I have nicknamed Oslo’s lesser side thusly (are actually KFUM but close to shit enough)
Hey Entropy, thanks for the tip on Planetary, bought the omnibus on sale, really good so far.
Seriously one of my favorite series, ever. The twist as to who the bas guys are is freaking sweet.
As a bonus, Amazon let me get the Lucifer omnibus for free as well.
Immediate Brokeback INT, least surprising event of the day
Did anyone bother to tell Scotchy that McLaurin is out with a hammy today?
Yes I found out.
Good. I found out about 12:45 today.
Clippers from downtown!
streamed the ATL defense instead of NYG. The fuck is wrong with me??
Crossed the 50 dolphins touchdown
On review of course there was a penalty and reversed
The nice thing about the Slurs is you don’t have to worry about them going 0-16 and picking up a savior in the draft because they’re a garbage organization no matter who they have
Folks
Yo.
The raiders beat someone this year?
D-O-N-K-S!!!
So the nfl and similar HAVE a replay official, but they still make the on field ref go and review the play themselves? Seems very inefficient.
Another union victory!
top coaching, Fatty Gruden
Jesus, is Redzone going to be all Pats all day? Because if so, i may as well stick head in a vice and try to rupture my eardrums with an ice pick all day. Be more enjoyable.
This just in: Tom Brady sucks.
He really doesn’t though.
Brady is 1-of-8 throwing to humans not named James White.
He stinks.
Gonna need Chefs and Tits to go off today
Why? Are you cooking at a topless bar?
Pornhub search term?
you NEVAR can tell, well well well, Sony Michel
Little known Chuck Brady version.
Survivor pick: Fat Humps
Loser pick: changed from MRSA to Fuck Liouns
Uh oh.
goddamned seriously
Andre Reed just walked in an hugged my boy like they’ve known each other for years, and my buddy goes, “the fuck was that about? I’ve never seen him before,” afterward.
Off for a walk.
Games are recorded.
See y’all on the other side.
Fuck, Dan Fouts is calling the P*ts-Bills tilt.
How does one properly root for the Saints? Wear a pope hat? Paint a stupid picture? Murder a stranger in a dark alley and get away with it?
Drink cheap domestic beer and absinthe and have some shrimp and crusty French bread.
Jax. Drink Jax.
Nah, just be a brash asshole that doesn’t learn from past mistakes and just hope that “whomever” ‘s supreme talents would bail you out yet again… Or as people call it “The Tomlin Maneuver”
Blame EVERYTHING that goes wrong in your life on referees.
I thought “rooting for the Saints” was a kind of code within the Catholic church for…um, stuff that leadership made a point of turning a blind eye to.
That’s “rooting the altar boys.”
I am pretty sure it’s already been said previously here, but it bears repeating repeatedly: those smack-talking fan ads for Thursday Night Football are fucking annoying.
Afternoon lizard people. Senorita Weaselo and I just had brunch with Maestro and Lady Maestro, and I’d like to think all parties had a lovely time.
Ah, a gathering of the music minds!
Lovely!
KMFDM needs to get they heads out they arses too. If you can’t depend on Norway 2nd division talisman sides…

Something is getting braised in this house today, and I’ll be damned if it’s gonna be me.
There are like a dozen people wearing Bills jerseys here, and I know it’s only to make Reed feel like he has fans. I’ve been in this damn town for most of my life and I have NEVER seen more than four Bills fans in all that time. Posers.
Drink MOAR. Start fights.
Been a long time since I was in a bar fight, but this is my buddy’s favorite bar and smashing it with the littered remains of what were once fake-ass Bills fans would cause him problems.
but down deep…he’d approve
Oh, he’d join in, which is the real problem
misty water colour memmmmmmories…
Unfortunately, this too shall pass (the plastic fans)… That said, I prefer my Bills fans drunk, friendly, rowdy and flying through tables, so might as well give some of them the necessary kinetic energy to … well… go through some bar tables 😀
Would they have gone out and bought jerseys just for the event that you are attending?
They might, this is a weird town
How many hundreds of yards will Ingram rack up on the Brownies today?
I hate Danny Amendola. Picked him up this week and he’s declared out for the first week I have him. Went from having a top 3 receiver to spinning a roulette wheel every week. Thanks for being a rapist and/or psychopath, AB.
Meanwhile… wifey just discovered what I’ve ordered her as an x-mas present, because apparently no one fucking told the Ford Motor Company, that leaving a message that the car you EXPLICITLY said was a gift for someone and to be kept Geheim and need to know is ready and awaiting shipment, is a good bloody idea….
Look on the bright side; at least this way you’ve now learned never to buy a Ford as a gift for your mistress.
Eh, no mistress for me, for I actually love my wife (and also realize how fucking lucky I am that she has enough deep-seated issues to be willing to settle on me 😀 )… That said, I found it wrong on a deep and painful level that she likes Mustangs, buuuuuuut on the other hand she’s also the one that didn’t raise an eyebrow when I went to look at some “sensible” Audi (or VW) sedan and came back with an order for an S6 (tho with the uprated mill from the RS7)
It’s not yet noon here in the Central Time Zone, but since I was born in the Eastern Time Zone, and it’s past noon there, I’m going to have a drink. Not that I need to justify it.
Certainly not to us, anyway
I have been up since 5 am mountain, I am an edible, coffee and Baileys, and now a white wine in. We would never judge.
I feel like the Bills pull it off today and then go 4-12.
Howdy folks. The bar I’m watching the early slate at has Andre Reed coming in for the day for a meet and greet…. and the owner informed me Reed is appearing for “$300 and pick up the bar tab.”
That is either the saddest thing I’ve ever heard, or the highest confidence in one’s drinking ability.
Sounds like Rickety Cricket, NFL edition
“Challenge accepted,” said Wade Boggs.
that might be my absolute favourite It’s Always Sunny episode

In addition to being their usual dirty cocksuckers, Barcodes are also wretched this season. Look forward to their going the fook down.
I know a team in West London that would be more than happy to take their place.
Weather in Leicester looks lovely.
y’all comfortably top 2 at present?
Oh no, not even close, we will be there in the end though. Pissing away points in the last ten minutes as usual.
Afternoon pervs, how’re ya this fine Sunday?
big money on CSKA-Sofia WOO!!!
/passed on Ruse this week
Good plan, pass on a relegation (and/or oblivion)-bound team when it’s playing the league “winner” like 8-9 years running 😀
CSKA were my Dad’s team before he discovered that lesser footy can actually be enjoyable and fast-paced, so I can’t say nothing against those fucking useless cunts!
Not bad, actually. I took it easy last night so I woke up with a nice clear head.
Same here. Feeling pretty chipper after an early night. I remember playing guitars for awhile, then not much after that.
And here and the wife, as model adults that we are, drank some craft beer that’s stronger than most vodkas and played NHL up to the first crack of dawn 😀
Edit: Found it https://www.drinksupermarket.com/brewmeister-snake-venom-330ml-bottle
It’s funny because last night I was at a friend’s birthday party where we were drinking very strong craft beers and playing NBA Jam. But I was driving so I couldn’t go overboard.
Or… you could’ve just drank more and slept in the bathtub and driven back later 😀
McLaurin is out.
My gut re emergency backups? P*ts’ (and NC State alum) Jakobi Meyers, who could share more slot time with Jewkah a bit gimpy.
Whew! DJ Moore is still available so in he goes!
pretty shallow league ya got thar
We’ve got 2 guys that ‘aren’t up to speed’ just yet. And haven’t been for three years.
y’all have peoples die yet? We had our first this offseason.
Surprised Dredelman didn’t catch on, frankly.
welp, he is made of clay apparently
Morning!
Could sleep in since we’ve got a 1:25 local time start but I’ve got a walk to do!
And some cooking to do!
And those beers aren’t going to drink themselves!
Game day!
everyone noes today is all about Jaguras/Donks:

I’m a pretty weird dude. We had a nice lunch at Majordomo yesterday and the highlight of the visit wasn’t lunch, it was walking out back to a nightclub (Apotheke) and discovering that their herb garden was overgrowing their fencing so I was able to harvest a bunch of free seeds.
Also…FREE LEMONS!
so it was…a lemon party??
You can’t have a lemon party without old dick
Did Antonioo Brown sign with the Browns yet?
So to my great delight yesterday I found out that the new car also has a USB port I can just plug memory sticks into. So there’s no need to even burn CD’s! I probably will, though, just as a backup.
Or a smartphone?
Oh, absolutely, and it’s got bluetooth for the smartphones too but the music on my phone is for workouts and there’s not really enough room for that plus car music too.
Anybody who seriously considers betting for a quarterback to throw for less than 250 against the Raiders “secondary” (more like “quaternary”, amirite?) needs to find out when the next G.A. meeting is and attend it.

I think trump could get re-elected if his platform only consisted of changing NFL TV rules to allow both networks to have two games on Sundays.
If you lived up here you get Bills and Seahawks every week plus perhaps a game of the week. This is why I pay for Redzone.
They are so young here.

Since I am alone in the clubhouse I should play some tunes.

Godwin v Diggs when everyone wakes up who ya got?
have to play Godwin if active
Concur. Diggs just hasn’t been targeted in the run first, run second, run always Vikings offense.
looks like Godwin will play, per Rotowire
McLaurin is banged up with a bad hammy but should play. I do not trust hamstrings, more of a cheese string sort of guy.
If I go to the grocery store too early, they haven’t finished stocking the shelves yet. But if I go too late, it’s full of old people clogging up the aisles! And don’t get me started on airport food…
Wife goes at 7 am on Saturdays, tries to catch the same no old people but enough cashier sweet spot.
2 PM Saturday. Kind of an in between time. The store is restocking from the morning rush so you can find everything you need and it’s prepping for the afternoon/ dinner rush. My store does a lot of deli and prepared food sales. Plus the beer and liquor aisles haven’t been depleted yet.
