Your Sunday Early Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

Yeah, I know westies, it’s still morning out there. But for just once could those of us in the eastern time zones pretend that the world revolves around us? [runs away while giggling]

TO THE GAMES!

Fins/Bills:

I’ll actually tune in here and there for this one just to watch Josh Allen’s What Will He Do Next? Show. A sixty yard bomb? An intercept on a screen pass? A thirty yard scramble that nets five yards? All of these and more are on the table. He can do it all.

Jags/Bengals:

Auden Tate was targeted 10 times last week. It’s as though Dalton has no one else to throw to. Okay, maybe Mixon out of the backfield but that’s about it. The draft picks received by Jax are not expected to play today-one has tweaked an ankle and the other just needs to get up to speed on the defensive schemes.

Vikes/Lions:

Minny has won two straight and the Lions have lost two. The former need this one badly otherwise they’ll go 0-3 in the division. Odds are it’ll be close because all of Detroit’s games have been decided by 4 points or less.

Raiders/Packers:

Scanning the waiver wire looking for help? Green Bay’s wr corps are all kinds of banged up and someone named Allen Lazard came to the fore last week and caught everything thrown his way. You best scoop him up while he’s still in His Majesty’s good graces-2 weeks from now he may fall out of favour for tying his shoelaces incorrectly or somesuch.

Texans/Colts:

J.J. “Look at Me” Watts has found his form again with all kinds of hurries, hits and pressures. All that and 5 sacks to boot. Brissett is slowly but surely opening up his play-calling and the O is benefiting.

Cards/Giants:

Kyler and Daniel have some things in common, one of which is multiple articles written about them that goes something like this:”Rookie QB’s Are Playing Like Rookie QB’s”. Comparisons of all sorts will run amok today just like David and Saquon. The first one to 125 combined yardos wins.

Niners/Potato Skins:

San Franny is so committed to the run that ever since Coleman returned from injury both he and Breida are top 25 in carries per game. Is rook wr McLaurin matchup-proof? Today we find out. My bet is “no”.

Rams/Falcons:

Will Jalen stop the bleeding in the Rams secondary? Perhaps not immediately-doctors have officially declared that wound ‘suppurating’.

Have at it.

Watson is starting to use his TE corps very efficiently

Not Throwing To Hopkins At All Costs: A DeShaun Watson Story

litre_cola

So, Fuller and Jacobs are hurt. Well that wraps up this week quickly.

hippofant

Why can’t you sub injured players in Fantasy? Isn’t the whole point of picking starters and having a bench to emulate real football?

Brocky

Like make substitutions at the half.

Would take some of the fun out of the game

King Hippo

I had a random urge to plug in Hauschka this week, which I ignored. Self-hatred…RISING

King Hippo

Don’t yeeeewwwww quit me, Brokeback!

Brocky

Colts score with a bad call on Houston’s 4 and 1, and a non call when a tipped ball catch was clearly out of bounds.

The Houston Texans, making mediocrity look spectacular since 2002

Spur

Good for the Fuck Lions.

Redshirt

The Chain Gang in Cincinnati is running back to the field because their assumed extended break is over because the Bengals actually got a first down.

hippofant

Do the Giants know they’re supposed to tackle the running back?

Fronkenshteen

I’ve made a huge mistake

King Hippo

what, you ignored the only good advice I ever gave??

Fronkenshteen

I got home from Ubering at 3:30 in the morning. The only NFL update I’d missed was that Johnson would play and get his full workload blah, blah, blah. I caved. When I tell you for whom, you are going to punch me through my tablet screen. Already projected to lose by 25+ points, I went looking for Contrarian Fireworks, and landed on…

[hangs head]

[winces]

…AJ Brown.

Don’t hate me.

Spur

Damn Giants, you suck

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Fuller ded. David Johnson getting vultured. I’m doomed.

Fronkenshteen

Is David Johnson out?

Brocky

Month of macabre continues

King Hippo

Fronk – you DID play Edmonds, I hopes?

King Hippo

are the Qardinals…not that shitty??

Redshirt

I’m really gonna miss Geno Atkins.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“I’m gonna miss Atkins too.” – a tearful Andy Reid after being told by his doctor that consuming 40 lbs of meat and cheese per day does not qualify as a “diet”

Fronkenshteen

Will Fuller is a shame.

Fronkenshteen

Goddamn Aaron rodgers

King Hippo

also godfuckingdamnit, United

Brocky

So in addition to john Ross, Josh Gordon, DeSean Jackson, marquise brown being injured, will fuller has decided “brocky has me? Fuck it I’m out.”

I sat cooper. now he’s gonna light it up tonight

King Hippo

Only A.A. Ron could have made that throw.

JustStopDude

Lol foreskins….

Gratliff

Fuller hurt? JUST HAVE TO THROW TO HOPKINS I GUESS

King Hippo

at least my Chase Edmonds advice were good

hippofant

Da fuck defense was that? One cut, untouched?

I do like these maroon Washington jerseys

Jesus Christ Jags, what the hell was that??

hippofant

The Doug Marrone Special.

Spur

Cincy did good?

Redshirt

Holy shit! The Bengals stopped somebody?!

King Hippo

OF COURSE. I have both Chark and Horny Fourny.

Brocky

……is it too early to make a Chris Henry joke?

Spur

Josh Jacobs, not bad at his job.

litre_cola

Have him in all 3 of my money leagues. GIVE HIM THE BALL.

King Hippo

he die

Mr. Ayo

And… he’s hurt

Spur

I think Amos might be dead. Jacobs ran him over

herodotus450

If I were a nigerian scammer, I would find a way to target exclusively people who purposely watch nfl pregrame shows, cause then I already know they are the stupidest of the stupid and will probably fall for my schemes.

King Hippo

yeah, *if*

King Hippo

Wearing my Donks WOO!!! slippers because I am a man of great resistance to change.

Redshirt

There are acres of seats in the lower bowl of PBS. Bengals fans have had enough of the Bengals BS.

I’ve seen more people at a High School Marching Band Invitational.

Spur

Jacobs needs to run that ball all day. FUCK YOUR CHEESE

Spur

Tony Romo is doing the Raiders – Punk Ass Packers game.

litre_cola

Have they dialed back the Romo this year? I have noticed him way less.

King Hippo

becuase of the immense, well-deserved RESPEK he has for A.A. Ron

Redshirt

Time to see what Fu Minshew looks like.

Why do I think I need a new encyclopedia set suddenly?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The Merck Index is a chemistry book and the top one is obviously math – I wonder if she’s a dual major.

Redshirt

Yay! My migraine is back!

ArmedandHammered

Oh, good, when mine finally left I was hoping it would find a good home.

King Hippo

Where are Wakey and BK’s wife? Because It’s Happening!!

Game Time Decision

Somethin somethin two in the bush somethin somthin

litre_cola

I am still drunk I think.

Spur

keep drinking

litre_cola

But then I will miss tonight.

/Probably will watch Dakota Jesus get murdered in the 1st half and pass out.

yeah right

Glad I did all the heavy lifting for today’s dinner yesterday. Now it’s just warm everything up, bring it to a simmer for a few hours and watch some damn football.

Gonna alternate between my boys vs Detroit and Indy vs the 500’s.

Happy game day everyone.

Aroldis Chapman forgot how to throw strikes and blew the save?

comment image

Senor Weaselo

Non-save Aroldis to boot? (Game was tied.)

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Those last two at bats were basically the same as Charlie Sheen’s character’s first mound appearance in Major League.

Dunstan

Yeah, the Astros just abused Chapman. He probably feels pretty battered today.

blaxabbath

I did pick up Bills’ returning RB, [name unknown], as a bye week FF plug. Hit paydirt with AD last week, feeling like it’s a good time for ol’ blax to cash in on “bet against the 2019 Dolphins”.

Fronkenshteen

Cole Beasley for me. Go flaming tables!

Singletary. Good football name, Singletary

Thankfully Disney has Star Wars now so Lucus can’t do this to us.

Unsurprised

Redshirt’s banner quote is on fire. Much like JoePa in Hell.

litre_cola

Oh my god, I didn’t even notice this morning. That is Gold.

Redshirt

..and that was a throw away comment. I didn’t expect it to leave the park but it did.
