Your “Can They Actually Do It?” Saturday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

I did everything right. I was smart about it. I had Cookie Monster as a starter and grabbed the handcuff Mattison in case things went awry. So both go down  and I put in a waiver claim for Boone but my opponent in the final had priority and he got him. Damn it! (It’s probably karmic payback for me grabbing Kenyan Drake when I never planned to play him because I noticed that the fella that had David Johnson needed him badly) So the waiver wire left me with “Come Mr. Perriman, Tally Me Bananas” and he pairs up with Jameis, McLaurin, Hill, Singletary, Henry, Hooper and McCaffrey. And I can’t even watch the games because stupid obligations. Everything sucks balls.

TO THE GAME!

Bills/Pats:

The first time around in Buffalo it was a one score loss courtesy of qb Allen’s three intercepts. All the talk was about the way New England’s D was destroying all the patsies they were skedded against. What was ignored and has become increasingly obvious is that the O is critically flawed. I’ll call it here-the Pats will lose before their supposed visit to Baltimore in the AFC title game. Brady’s increasingly noodle-ly appendage means that receivers must be in the exact spot where the play requires them to be otherwise the play is dead. And those receivers just can’t get separation and there’s not a home run hitter in the bunch. Look for New England to get sneaky with their blitzing in order to confuse the youngster Allen. (He’s the 6th ranked qb in fantasy, btw-who’da thunk that?) Singletary wasn’t around last time and could make the difference-we shall see.

Have at it, squirrels and boys!
