Your “But I Wanted a Quadruple-header!” Sunday Football Open Thread

T’aint fair! The NFL giveth with the one hand and taketh away with the other. AS ALWAYS! Hey, as long as I’m shouting… TO THE GAMES!

Cards/Bills:

Not a lot to like here. I’d just like to add-poor Joe Mixon. Poor, poor Joe Mixon.

Bills/Titans:

The hits keep coming. What’s the over/under here-14.5? Matt Barkley is not an NFL qb by any means and there are rumblings the Tennessee head office feels the same about Mariota. The end result? A run-heavy Gore (maybe Singletary?) and Henry grinder. Fade to black Corey Davis. And while you’re at it do the same to te Delanie-the Bills have given up 76 yards all season to the position.

Bears/Raiders:

There are plenty of kudos out there for te Waller but the fella is looked at between the 20’s and not at all in the end zone. This is not an exaggeration-he doesn’t have a single look yet.

Bucs/Saints:

Tampa has a good overall D but defending the slot is an on-going problem. Since the beginning of last year they’ve given up the second-most yards, completions and TD’s. Guess who grades out as the best slot receiver over the last three years? Yeah, that’d be one Michael Thomas. Shaquil Barrett and his nine sacks has an interesting matchup vs. tackles Armstead and Ramczyk, who have not given up a sack yet.

Vikes/Gmen:

Minny just barely avoids the dreaded Saquon-sanity showdown. This one is a real, actual test for Danny Ten Cent, given the pressure up front and cb Howard’s tendency to take players out of the game. (though he did get burned last week or the week before, I don’t remember and I’m running out of time)

Jets/Eagles:

Philly is completely exploitable at the wr spot and Anderson/Crowder are above average, but then one must add Luke Falk into the equation and just like that it all falls apart.

Rams/Steelers:

As I said, I’m running out of time. This should have been up two hours ago.

Pats/Potato Skins:

Another walk in the park W for New England is on the sked. Qu’elle surprise! Washington’s point total has gone souther and souther-from 27 to 21 to 15 to 3. I’ve a notion what the next number up is.

Jags/Panthers:

Bettors have no doubt noticed that Minshew is 3-0 vs. the spread but he now faces the only D that allows less than 200 yards thru the air. This is not the week to go Full Mustache Ride.

Falcons/Texans:

Lingering memories from last year tell me that Houston has an above-average D but when you actually peruse the numbers they’re in the 24-ish range. Same but the t’udder way with the Falcons-they’re knocking on top 10 status.

There she be. Why don’t you catch some Other Football while you wait for the games to commence?

Jets missing 50+ yard field goals is the most automatic thing in football

blaxabbath

Control, steps, and “football move”, Mr Blandino?

What’s a more football move than having your head slammed into the ground?

Redshirt

I look forward to the referee saying the Bengals WR dropped the ball when he lost consciousness after being slammed on his head.

Porky Prime

London camera crews always fun because the play action actually works on them.

Redshirt

Just wait until they see a flea flicker. The cameraman may have to sit down for that one.

Col. Duke LaCross

This feels like an exact replay of that Bears v. Giants game from last year.

hippofant

Bill must have forgotten to sacrifice any orphans this week.

King Hippo

and YOU MENTIONED him as a sleeper play this week

Gratliff

The least rapey can do is throw it to Howard

King Hippo

I finally cut that asshole this week. Eifert also has 0.00.

Gratliff

On second look, I started Mandrews, so this is okay

Porky Prime

These first 17 minutes of Raiders/Bears have me waiting to see my cat walk by twice after the Matrix resets.

Gratliff

lol Chase with the kiss of death double tap

blaxabbath

This Cincinnati crowd did not turn out today.

Redshirt

The fanbase apathy is real. People are talking openly about the city letting the team leave when the lease is up in 2026. Get ready for either St. Louis Bengals or San Diego Bengals.

blaxabbath

Good. I wish Phoenix had let the Suns walk last year.

Porky Prime

Sacramento keeping the Kings is an egregious Turd Polish. Put em in Seattle and be done with it.

blaxabbath

Phoenix is like the 6th largest population center in the nation. It blows my mind that they’re too stupid to leverage that in these negotiations. Not with the team owners, they don’t give a shit. But call in Adam Silver. See how the NBA commission feels about losing out on a market where MLB, NFL, NHL, and an up-and-coming soccer team all exist.

If nothing else, they’d move to the front of the line when a good owner wants to speak to a city.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s kind of hilarious how little respect the Raiders get from ESPN’s win probability calculator. 0-0 game, ball in the Bears half of the field, it gives the Bears a 65% chance of winning. Raiders go up 7-0, calculator now gives the Raiders only a 62% chance of winning.

Mr. Ayo

How about now?

Gratliff

Should be illegal for a white RB to catch a TD imo

blaxabbath

Wait — do they call the Red River Shootout the Red River Showdown now?

Given it’s Texas and Oklahoma, I’m surprised the renaming didn’t make it the Christian Jesus Kiddie-Rape-Is-Ok And So Is Fucking-Your-Pool-Boy Gunz 4 All School Shoot Out Presented By Russia: Russia, America’s Greatest Non-Middle Eastern Ally.

Bengals already have a ready made excuse for Loss No. 5.

That Bengals Pennywise fan mask was legit.

bk109

OK, how’s that a first down for us against the Redacteds?! I mean, nothing against freebies from the refs, but that was in no shape way or form a first down!

hippofant

Jay, that’s not how belts are supposed to be worn.

blaxabbath

I like that the NFL 100 footballs, highlighting the history of every team, actually has ONLY recent Seahawks players.

Mr. Ayo

As any 12s fan will tell you, this team never existed before Russell Wilson.

Col. Duke LaCross

That Geico ad was creepy as fuck.

bk109

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait, Newcastle WON.. and wifey didn’t curse and come to complain to me?! … Better send one of the kids to investigate!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

3rd and 20, 3 yard crossing route and 7 YAC. But Chase Daniel is the answer, Jimmy.

bk109

Ghost’s on IR, yet we keep fucking up +1’s… DOES NOT COMPUTE 😀

Gratliff

Goddamn, Watson

Redshirt

Oh, yeah. That’s right. The Bengals suck.

Gratliff

A pick by god 6 by a fucking Eagle is apparently a thing that’s allowed to happen

litre_cola

White DB down!

Gratliff

JETS DERP

bk109

Glad to know some things never change…

Doktor Zymm

Hey, when you’re a Jet you’re a Jet

bk109

Unless you meet a steel wall. It’s name is the Eagles 😀

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That catch by Montgomery was simultaneously a statement of how impressive he is and an indictment of Chase Daniel

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Of course Chase Daniel immediately committing a false start is also an indictment of Chase Daniel

Spur

oh Cincy.

Spur

Dirty Steelers being dirty

Gratliff

Steelers D throwing dirty hits? The hell you say?

bk109

Awww, not the Yinzers?! They’re pure as the driven (from Colombia) snow that the Coasties intercept …

Doktor Zymm

It’s not gonna happen, but I would be hugely amused if the one W the Redacteds get this year comes today

hippofant

Ooo that’s gonna make Bellichick mad.

The Maestro

WHAT THE FUCK NEW ENGLAND

GOD DAMNIT YOU ASSHOLES

bk109

Plot twist – 70-ish TD run for the Redacteds…

Spur

With all the Green jerseys, Eagles fans are having trouble with which team is theirs. They’re being asked to only throw D batteries when they are sure. They can throw AA batteries at everyone.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh, Richie Incognito did something dirty? How shocking.

Gratliff

Am definitely okay with Pats losing to the worst team in football history

bk109

Oh, Ritchie, never, ever, eveeeer NOT change, you big crazy bastard

Gratliff

I will never understand the thing where writers try to rehab Incognito’s image every other season despite the fact that he routinely demonstrates what a pile of garbage he is as a human being for pretty much his entire career

King Hippo

white ppl NEVAR run out of 2nd chances

Fronkenshteen

I Ubered till 4:00 in the morning. I was up at 11:00. I have a turkey in the oven, southern greens on the simmer, cauliflower washed and prepped. I cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, and started a load of laundry. Go football. Take me away for an afternoon.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Dude, what time are we coming over for lunch and/or dinner?

Gratliff

jfc never do that again philly

litre_cola

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!

Gratliff

A shocking exhibition of dumb luck

BrettFavresColonoscopy

This quasi competence by the Raiders offense must be a result of jet lag

Spur

or proof the metric system works.

litre_cola

Cousins seriously has lost all confidence.

bk109

He had confidence?! When?

Redshirt

The family reunion in West Virginia?

litre_cola

YOU LIKE THAT guy.

bk109

That was like 2016? And if anything that was a bewildered “You like that?! You like that?!?!”

Redshirt

We may not be worse than Arizona? We may not be worse than Arizona!
