Your “Let’s Get It Started!” Sunday Afternoon Football Open Thread

That’s a Black-Eyed Peas tune, isn’t it? Well, at least I didn’t reference I Gotta A Feeling like I just did. Damnit!

TO THE GAMES!

‘Hawks/Falcons:

Man, I’m glad I didn’t chase after The Big Three (or Four) tight ends in fantasy this year. I decided on a middling dude and am glad that Austin Hopper paid off after a slow-ish start. There were enough balls to go around and now with Sanu gone there will be 6 more targets to spread around.

Eagles/Bills:

Philly can be exposed by long throws on either sideline and Josh has a big arm. That arm is also wildly inaccurate. Once again the Buffalo D will lock down its opposition and say a prayer that goes something like this, “Oh mighty Football Goddess, please don’t let Allen attempt any dumbass high school throws”. Much like every other god, this one doesn’t exist and their qb will eventually do something stupid.

Chargers/Bears:

Does rb Ekeler have Spidey gloves or somesuch? He’s caught 49 of 52 balls sent his way and has broken 15 tackles along the way. He looks to be the guy that will relieve the immense pressure that the Bears D-line is able to bring. The Titans have moved past Mariota, the Bengals are looking beyond Dalton and Chicago should do the same with Truth Biscuit.

Giants/Lions:

Is it Ty Johnson’s time to shred the Giants porous D a la Chase Edmonds? You can run on them, you can pass on them-all to your heart’s content. By way of response they’ll bend over and ask for more. Like Josh above, Danny Tencent can be an entertaining watch-if you like the long ball, tight-window throws that are as likely to be intercepted as caught and devil-may-care rushes down the field.

Bucs/Titans:

Tannehill did it all last week. Well, yes, he was efficient but he did not throw a single ball over 20 yards all day. Expect Todd Bowles D to creep closer to the line of scrimmage and bring that pressure. So if that happens maybe rb Henry is in line for one of those 20 rushes for 67 yards stat lines. The mitigating factor is Taylor Lewan’s exceptional run blocking talent.

Broncos/Colts:

It’s The Battle of The Equuses! Watch Your Eyes! Against every expectation Indy is the lead pony in their division and Brissett (and Reich’s game planning) is to blame. Er, you know what I mean. It must be added that Quenton Nelson has aided the process by giving up just one penalty, just 8 pressures and nary a sack.

Bengals/Rams:

Stay away from Tyler Boyd, fantasy dudes. His catch rate the last two weeks has been 43% and 38.5%. If you must start a Cincy wideout (and I’ve no clue how you fell into that well of depravity) go with Tate or Erickson.

Cards/Saints:

Brees is back behind center so look for the Saints to throw the long-ish ball that Bridgewater refused to. DJ is out so shall we Chase Edmonds last week’s points? I’m going to give it a go despite New Orleans’ D tightening up significantly over the last 4 weeks. If Fitz drops a pass this week you’ll witness history because he hasn’t yet this season.

Jets/Jags:

Unfrozen Caveman QB saw the spirits of his forefathers on the playing field last week and they told him tales of other tribes stealing his MILFs, his food and his will to win. Rattled by this vision, UCQB’s ball did not fly true to its a target. So now a sacrifice must be made. Will it be a Cave Lion? Maybe a Gazelleasaurus? Perhaps just a small token can be offered, say, a toenail?

Enjoy what’s on offer.

Doink!

Charge of the Light Brigade

It’s almost as if we’re playing someone decent at the American footies.

Btw, don’t you all find it amusing that Kliff Kingsburry has more superbowl rings than Dan Marino?

Mr. Ayo

Nice play Danny Two-Nickels.

THANK FUCK I finally benched Brandin Cooks, I hate that waste of carbon MOAR than life itself.

Someone flipped fatty’s switch to “Bad”

Hippo was half right: Bengals/Rams got the fabled extra hour for this game.

Charge of the Light Brigade

-2 yards is also a very Bills way to END a game.

Establish the run

D-O-N-K-S!!!!

First…down…Bengals?!

Redshirt

Now a 11-yard run. WHAT IS THIS?!

King Hippo

I actually has a little moneys on y’all. Methinks either CIN or MIA gets a win this week. No logic, just a gut feel.

ArmedandHammered

Maybe the Jets need a Saudi coach, because only a Saudi directing a jet seems able to bring anything down.

Redshirt

I don’t care if the Bengals go 0-16 or 0-7-9. If the only thing the Bengals do is that their white color rush jerseys their full time away jerseys, this will be a productive year.

Charge of the Light Brigade

Shit, I guess I have to watch football.

Fourny horny

King Hippo

HORNY FOURNY!!

Moments like this make me sad that the chant culture hasn’t made it across the pond… Just imagine the happy “You’re getting fired in the morning” chants they’d be getting if it was an european stadium..

King Hippo

I have tried hard to spread the gospel of you’re gettin’ sacked in the moooooorrrrrning

Frank Gore is older than I am, and I’m pretty sure my body started dying 5 years ago. How the fuck is he still going?

And it’s Red Zone time, woohooo…. And judging by Scott Hanson’s enthusiasm, someone put the really potent stuff in his coffee 😀

King Hippo

coked out RedZone guy deserves his nickname

Charge of the Light Brigade

I’m chasing a hangover from last night, lets do this.

King Hippo

Huzzah, I don’t have to keep any NBC Gold windows up during Most Precious RedZone Time

Charge of the Light Brigade

Looking forward to my ban before kickoff.

Redshirt

If they still allow my troll ass here after all these years, you’ll be okay.

Just try nice and understanding and have an irrational hatred for Goodell and Peter King.

bk109

… uhm, hating the Ginger Hammer and Peter Drivel is hardly irrational…

Charge of the Light Brigade

I’ve watched you specifically… We’re gonna get along.

Redshirt

Oh, God. My stalker has finally showed up!

King Hippo

Just don’t say nice things about the Redshite and we good.

The ManUre Brand or the Scouser knock-off ? 😀

King Hippo

I have NEVAR heard Manure called the Redshite??

In a forebodding incident, my Amazon Firestick just killed itself rather than be subjected to this Sunday’s slate of games.

Gratliff

Apparently, the game in Buffalo is going to be a shitshow. Kickers are nailing 60+ with the wind in practice and missing 40’s against it with kickoffs landing between the 10 and 20 yard lines. Could be a lot of good derp there.

King Hippo

may RedZone show most of this madness

Charge of the Light Brigade

It’s worth a watch if you like shitty horror movies from a 80’s

Charge of the Light Brigade

Holy shit, here I am! (I got permabanned from twitter)

King Hippo

GOOD FOAR U!!!

Charge of the Light Brigade

Some of you dumb fucks added me to the worst feed ever without any of you knowing I was part of DFO. I feed honorary now.

Charge of the Light Brigade

Feed is not a typo

bk109

How did you manage that?! Knowing what sort of scum doesn’t even get a slap on the wrist there, what could you’ve possibly done to get Goodell’d ?!

Gratliff

Did you make the mistake of insulting a nazi, or make fun of Elon Musk’s haircut?

Charge of the Light Brigade

I threatened to kill a racoon stomper, but I did all the rest of the things mentioned,

Uhm, Arsenal… is winning? What is this damn sorcery?

Redshirt

You can’t choke away the win if you don’t get a lead.

bk109

Of course we can – we just play down to our competition, go in a hole early and never recover… Preferably in a way that is so bile-inducing, you start reminiscing fondly about the endstage Wenger side 😀

King Hippo

Palace is a weird fucking side

Radio: “Last Friday’s pregame show in London was amazing. Bengals fans here in London were excited to see Kenny Anderson and Chad Johnson.”

Me: “Wow! We have Bengals fans in London? We have Bengals fans outside of Ohio?!”

Shitstorm at a HBCU yesterday that had a bunch of Dems boycott an event that decided to give Trump some stupid justice award thing he did nothing to earn. That’s all par for the course. What I can’t get past is this quote:

Badly failing presidential candidate @KamalaHarris will not go to a very wonderful largely African American event today because yesterday I recieved [sic] a major award

Everyone was upset that only 10 students from the African American college was invited to Trump’s speech, but I’m actually impressed they found 10 students from the African American college who wanted to go to Trump’s speech.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

So many grievances about to come the Jets way, they’re installing a Festivus pole outside MetLife Stadium!

King Hippo

They should do a bronze sculpture of Casper the Friendly Ghost two. WOO, BUDDY!!!!!

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

If I am a d-lineman playing the Jets today I just go ‘woooooooooooooooooooo’ the entire game.

And make everyone wear white face.

bk109

Festivus Pole? Nah, that’s just a classic (if jumbo-sized) stake to go all Vlad the Impaler on Macc and Gase. I just hope the J-e-t-s-JETS-JETS-JETS faithful have the basic decency of first killing those incompetent twats before they ram the poles up their arseholes …

bk109

Happy extra-long NFL day lads and lasses.. Now, can someone tell me why I’m passing my affliction of making model kits to my kiddos?!

yeah right

The glue?

bk109

Doubtful, I maintain a well ventilated hobby area… Oh well, they seem to like it and the destroyers they’re building seem to be coming along nicely (with the bonus that they’re staying the fuck away from wifey, which is currently enduring yet another ManUre fuckup

Edit: In case anyone is wondering – a Clemson, a Tribal, a M1936 German and a Hayanami

bk109

Slight correction: It’s the Ayanami (of the Fubuki class) …

Gratliff

Mariucci sounding like he’s about to choke on his tongue trying to say Josh Allen could be the next Jim Kelly

Fronkenshteen

Hippo! Jordan Howard @ BUF, Ty Johnson vs NYG, or Devonta vs SEA?

King Hippo

Hunch is PHI tries to establish run, plus wind effects. Howard.

King Hippo

WAIT – I misread original query and thought only 2 options. Ty fore sure.

Horatio Cornblower

Terry Bradshaw is just embarrassing at this point.

King Hippo

This has been true for at least 15 years.

Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, “at this point” was really unnecessary

In other news, the sky is blue and beer is fun!

Morning Folks.

yeah right

Hola Senor Spur!

I like to think of them more like those stand up reflector strips, the spring loaded ones, when you run over them they slowly stand back up.

The local theme park closed early last night due to high winds.

“Come to Kings Island’s Halloween Haunt! Face your fears! Embrace your– What? We’re getting Tropical Storm force gusts of wind tonight?! PARK’S CLOSED! SAVE YOURSELVES! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

King Hippo

I could swap out Brokeback for Laserface, and/or Bleeding Kansas for Golden Taint (revenge game!!111). Whatcha think?

yeah right

Something is off with Rivers. Watching last week’s game he wasn’t crisp or on target, his passes were sailing. He’s a tough old bird and won’t admit it but I think he’s hurt. Caveat emptor.

King Hippo

Went with Taint (see Scotchy advice below), maybe will flip coin at QB.

King Hippo

Had to cut Jones for an indoor K, otherwise I’d likely just start him.

King Hippo

fuck, with Allen active I thinks I has to go Laserface. I agree, he looks done, but he’s uber-prideful and will have a last gasp or two left.

Horatio Cornblower

Brian Kelly thinks this sounds like a perfect time to break out the old scissor lift and send a student up to videotape formations.

litre_cola

Mornin. I took the DFO advice of drinking through my hangover yesterday. I am hungover again! This seems like a never ending cycle.

Redshirt

Your problem is you quit drinking. Next time setup an IV to insert alcohol directly into your bloodstream while you sleep.

yeah right

Think I’ll toggle between Philly Buffalo and Chargers Bears but in reality I’m probably going to do a 7 mile walk instead.

blaxabbath

I hope the Saints bring back QB bounties this week.

Redshirt

These Bengals, I call them Harold Godwinson because someone is coming all the way to England just to beat their ass.

Fronkenshteen

That giants/liouns preview makes the game seem simultaneously Too-Exciting-To-Be-Missed and Too-Pathetic-To-Be-Believed. Genius.

Not to bust my arm patting myself on the back, but if you have a daughter away at college, I’m exactly the kind of Uber driver you’d hope she’d get every time.

Funny thing is, with the way space travel is, its true. Almost everyone one of their decisions are a life-and-death situation.
