Your “It’s The Playoffs For You And Me” Sunday NFL Football Open Thread

Did you squeak in? Did you get a bye? Tell us how it all went right/wrong down below. Me? I’ve got a bye in one money league and will get blown out in another unless my Fitzmagik/Parker stack comes thru in a big way.

TO THE GAMES!

Panthers/Falcons:

Atlanta’s O-line wasn’t very good to begin with (where have you gone, Devonta?) but now the threads are beginning to unravel. Even though Ryan gets the ball out quickly on average, he’s been put on his butt 15 times the last two games.

Ravens/Bills:

Lamar!’s outstanding play has papered over a wr unit that is pure fyre and not in the good way that the kids say. Do the kids still say that? Today they face a cb White (not a white cb, that would be ridiculous) that has not allowed a TD on 72 targets.

Bengals/Browns:

When was the last time this game mattered to both teams? The early 80’s? I’m glad not to have to lean on either Chubb or Mixon going forward. Dalton’s return to starter status means the ball will be in the air more (John Ross is back) and KHunt’s 43 touches have resulted in a missed tackle 23 times. Kareem is playing at a very high level.

Potato Skins/Packers:

After showing out last week, Washington might just have something in injury-free Guice. Add to that Haskins playing competently (tho he didn’t toss a 6 spot) and McLarin’s early season success-they just might be set up at the skill positions.

Lions/Vikes:

Cousins got off to a very bad start in the early weeks of the season, according to Thielin and Diggs but that run-heavy approach has paid back some delightful dividends now. The threat of Cook/Mattison getting the ball has resulted in Captain Kirk having the highest play-action efficiency rating in the league.

Niners/Saints:

You think this Kittle guy works on his game? Last year the only knock on him was that he had the 3rd-most drops-this year he hasn’t had a single one. As for the running game, good luck picking which fella will come to the fore this week. (I tried to work in a Cerberus joke but brain won’t let me)

Fins/Jets:

New Yawk has the fifth-most inviting secondary in fantasy so that’s why I’m heaving a prayer towards the Fitz/Parker combo. If you’re streaming te’s take a look at Mike Gesicki-he’s 5th in targets the last two weeks and has scored in both games. Rb Bell is out with an illness-my guess is he’s sick and tired of having 3.2 yards per carry.

Colts/Bucs:

Coach of the year has to go to Reich, right? He dealt with the Hodor retirement ambush, changed the O to suit Brissett and has weathered injuries to every one of his skill guys. And his team is still sniffing at a wild card spot. Well done.

Broncos/Texans:

Houston is riding high after last week’s W over the Pats. Now comes the fall? Or do they roll? Courtland Sutton owners are praying that rook qb Drew Lock can keep the fantasy points flowing.

Give it to me!

…Wow… that was shite even for these New Age Bungles…

Fun observation, watching redzone projected on a wall here in the (converted) barn, while doing engine run-up tests is … FUN! Also, pretty sure I’ve got a transient misfire in this fucker

Stuck in Dacteds-Pack limbo. Grrr. *shakes tiny fist*

…and that’s why the Bengals need to draft Joe Borrow.

I really like “pervosaurs”. I’ll use that in every day life.

Da Fuq is wrong with ESPN News? I thought watching poker was turrible.

They actually have a Cornhole Competition on right now.

Is it just me or is this the 2nd week in a row where Jameis Winston started 0/1, 0 yards, 1 INT?

Is it possible for the Bengals to beat the Browns but still lose? Are they allowed to forfeit with :01 left in the 4th Qtr. while leading?

Spur

they can start some mega brawl?

Spur

If Bloomberg wants to help he can buy Fox News.

King Hippo

Sure Mike Bloomberg wants to help…Mike Bloomberg.

ballsofsteelandfury

Bloomberg is the Democrat version of Trump.

King Hippo

in terms of empty-headed egotism? AGREED. But he is not Democratic at all. He’s a Rockefeller Republican who doesn’t like guns.

ballsofsteelandfury

Just like Trump is not a Republican. They just picked weak parties that could be exploited for their own gain.

He might win, too. America is that dumb.

Gratliff

I wouldn’t like guns either if I had spent my life hoarding wealth and had some concerns about imminent food riots

Gratliff

He has to make those commercials for himself. Otherwise, he’ll vote Biden in the primary.

Maybe bribe Trump to resign? I’m certain he could do it for $10 Billion.

Unless Fields gets healthy, we’re near certainly looking at LSU and Clemson for the Championship.

Spur

Ohio State should start hanging out in the wrestlers showers, prepare that butthole for Son of Clem

Redshirt

Yep. If Fields is healthy, they at least have a fighters chance. If that same sputtering offense from last night shows up in Tempe 20 days from now, Clemson will murderdeathkill them five times over.

Chance of Oscar Meyer Weinermobile…75%

litre_cola

So I picked up a Penny from Seattle in case Jacobs doesnt go. Or do I just play Marvin Jones Jr????

King Hippo

I did the same, but for Week 15, probably lean Jones

Spur

I have Shady ready to go if Jacobs cant go at 1pm.

I have a bye in DFO ball (thank fuck, brutal matchups plus Josh Jacobs problems), but my 3-10 Orange Slices & Cocaine trying to win our way out of the “toilet bowl” sub-bracket. It ain’t looking good, though I am finally getting to start Founding Fathers. Bleeding Kansas into the lineup over Will Fuller UGH.

100% rolling with BloodSugarFitzMagic

theeWeeBabySeamus

I kinda backed into the bye in DFO. Holy crap my late season slides get me every time.
OK, granted, a 10 week losing streak last year might not be termed “late season slide”.

Yeah, I suck.

herodotus450

If I’m out of the playoffs and don’t even have a chance to take some of Fronkenshteen’s money, what’s the point?
(Sees Fronk across the room)
Oh, uh, I mean, other than a fun, spirited competition where the real prize was the friends we made along the way.

So I guess Aaron Rodgers is going to be doing an AMA on 12/9.

King Hippo

Pitching or catching?? LIAR!!! – Spur

Senor Weaselo

All questions will be about his family. And Woody Harrelson’s Rampart.

Spur

Am going to need at least 20 burner accounts for this event.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

SPUR: Would you ever consider following in your brother’s footsteps and appearing as a suitor during a season of ‘The Bachelor’?

RODGERS: Don’t you mean ‘The Bachelorette’?

SPUR: No, I don’t.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I backed into the 5 seed at 7-6. My team has been leaking oil in a major way and I don’t expect to survive today’s matchup – my hopes are pinned on Better Mahomes and Gardens having a big day against NE’s defense, which I don’t think is likely.

King Hippo

How much self-hatred goes along with rooting for Andy’s Chefs??

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am probably getting a little too casual about my dismissal of the Chiefs this year. They haven’t used up their annual allotment of luck during the regular season, which means they still have some left for the playoffs.

Any chance I can get Fantasy Football advice?
If yes, great!
My question: Should I start WR Tyler Lockett (against Ramit) or Robby Anderson (against DaFins)?

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed. Anderson is the better matchup this week.
But it’s narrow.

King Hippo

yikes, tough choice but agreed

Fronkenshteen

Jamaal Adams: OUT. Heap big good news for Scotchy.

Josh Jacobs true game time decision. Do I have him in my 3 money leagues? Yep. Is it the latest start so you really could be as Hippo puts it “Fooked” Yes. SO Ekeler, AP, and some white guy from Miami are in!

Fronkenshteen

How in the fuck has the league been ok with Gruden playing a RB with a fractured shoulder, anyway?

litre_cola

Ahem, JUST WIN BABY – A. Davis.

Fronkenshteen

Can’t they just put Teflon hammys in Will Fuller’s legs, already?

Coach Epps & Harbs have to be in the running foar coach of the Year too.

Well down at the local Pegging Club, being in the Loosers Braket is actually a good thing. So there.
