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.
Jameis doesn’t deserve Mike Evans
Or even a starting job.
Remember last week when I said the Schaub Falcons would be the worst team in the NFL?
Good times in Chicago
BEARISTOCRATS
the mother was really fucking the son there
Chi**** gonna get like 12 plays this red zone trip.
AND WILL KICK A FG INSIDE THE 1
Pretty smart of the Seahawks to let Atlanta get back into field goal position.
Just saw that Bucs play. Relegate them and void their SB win.
I really hope I can YouTube that FOAR the morning.
“Check out Young Sheldon”
No, I do not think I will.
“Suit yourself.” – Brad Childress (remember him?)
Bollo still esta Bollo. No Verdad.
11-7 but why
wind, analytically better expected points total going for 2
Because we deserve it.
Christ – do I almost feel bad for the Falcons?
Oh right; 28-3. No I don’t.
Jesus fuck, can we just be a good team for once?
“Show me that smile!”

Was worried about Goff in London. No worries now.
Rams just scored on the Tecmo Super Bowl WR-flea flicker play!
jolly good show
Slayton Down!
is he the new prima donna receiver for the Giants? You must always have one.
Right now he’s a rook that knows his place. All the Donna’s (no matter the position) were traded or released.
What’s up with the Donks? It’s like they’re trying on offense.
Bengals running game…good?!
Just as everyone has given up on Mixon.

Bengals go on fourth down…and converts…with a run?!
First time seeing a lot of Josh Allen. Not bad. Stomp those Birds.
He’s a goddamn adventure in football cleats.
If you like a heart attack he’s your man.
“Pfft, there are far more worthwhile ways to get yourself a heart attack.” – Andy Reid, through a mouthful of pork rinds
Not wrong.
Hurry up, halftime. I’ve a run to the beer store to make.
This is why I have a radio.
That’s pretty awesome that you can just radio the beer store and get stuff delivered. Please tell me your callsign is “Redshirt Five”.

Hippo, you dropped Cooks just in time. He concussed.
Atlanta is trash.

Tight end wide open vs. Giants. The more things change…
3rd and Witten.
I’m liking the Kingsbury offense.
What’s the hole-like thing the Bengals O-line created?
Bills defense is *looks at notes* much vaunted.
They sniffed out that 3rd down play rather easily.
Its taken me this long to find a way to watch.
They’re this close to putting it all together.
They are really good… but even when they do REALLY GOOD all I have defeatist nonsense. It is my fallback.
If you’ve started Cooper Kupp, your kupp is running over.
Goal henderson Liverpool
SlaytonDown!!!
Um, Bengals. The purpose of a Zone Defense is that the entire secondary is covered by an assigned defender covered an area. A “zone”, if you will.
Imagine what Saquon could do with an imaginative OC.
And an O-Line that’s not looking to trade for some traffic cones and blocking sleds…
And as scheduled, Arsenal are shitting the bed… HARD…
Like… you can pass the ball forward? What is this?
They call Beasley “The Dumbshit QB Whisperer”.
Yay, one penalty that isn’t against the Giants.
Nine games. Six touchdowns. RedZone must be going into crisis mode.
Goddamn it. Jim Schwartz is bad even with bad pieces.
Flacco giving away lots of souvenirs to the fans.
Hey, we get Sassy Ref!
I’m confused.
National Tight End Day?
/pics please
No, no, it’s national “tightened” day. Celebrating the hard work of the nation’s mechanics.
That’s nuts!
Please forget that your are the Bills for 5 seconds,
you’re
Just had a twisted vision of Dalton welcoming his would-be sackors while smiling like Brad Pitt the moment before he gets his head blown off in “Burn After Reading”. I’m high.
Btw, RedZone + VR glasses (and some tweaks) is heaven… I can actually pull up virtual big-ass screens with every game and quickly scan them in case something fun happens 😀
TWEAKS!?!?!?

Well yeah, by default every virtual screen emits audio (in this setup), so it was a bit of a pain to set it so that it defaults to RedZone regardless of your head orientation unless you focus on a channel (and even then with RZ at 20% volume)
Status of Giants Turnstile: ENGAGED
AJ Green getting traded, Red?
Doubt it. Mike Brown doesn’t like to trade players in season. If they can’t re-sign Green, they should trade him.
Problem is the team is still fighting. You trade your stars, you’re team will quit on the rookie coach.
One more time, Bengals. YOU HAVE NO OFFENSIVE LINE!! Adjust your play calling accordingly!!!
You have to explain what does mean to their sideline guys, ‘coz … I’m pretty sure they don’t know what the fuck does that mean (but suspect that jockstraps are involved)

Sorry, Bearistocrats! fans. I laughed.
So did I.
Ditto.
A Chicago DJ should make a dance track where the down beat is just a missed FG doink.
