Let’s Do Some More! Your Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

Tilts? Matches? Confrontations? Matchups? Oh yeah, we got more coming your way. TO THE GAMES!

Chargers/Bengalis:

Cincinnati is yours for the taking young Burrow. That is, if you play up to expectations. And if you manage to succeed, could you do something about the lighting and decor? Thanks. Austin Ekeler is listed as the starter but he’s a mere 200 pounds, not nearly big enough to handle the rock the way a traditional RB1 does. Look for (reviews depth chart, sees that Jackson is 200 and Kelley is only 212) umm, someone to hit the weight room hard, I guess?

Cards/Niners:

The breakout seasons for Murray and Drake may have to be delayed for a week or so if San Franny’s D does their thing. Even Hopkins might be hemmed in because he’ll be tailed by the underrated but very effective Emmanuel Moseley.

Bucs/Saints:

This is the only team that Brees can play against whereby he be the younger qb. I thought for sure that the Jags would run Fournette into the ground and then kick him to the curb at the end of the year because I guess I’m just that cynical. But no, they did not because I guess being a cancer in the locker room can cause a change of plans. I read somewhere that rb’s that run for over 900 yards and score 5 td’s or less almost always bounce back into the double digits the following year which makes a great deal of sense to me.

Do your stretches, grab your snacks, pour your beverages, break some wind-do whatever you need to and get ready for round 2. GO!

The NFL is not really a fan of nature tonescomment image

Gatoraids

Korean news agency shakes head at that cgi Brady Brees montage

Doktor Zymm

I really want to take that Garropppopolloo scramble, edit out the field, edit in the Studio 54 dancefloor and some shitty disco

hippofant

Lol @ Buccs 23 & 24 waving their hands around incredulously complaining about the PI, while 33’s in between them, quietly pointing to himself, admitting it was him.

Gatoraids

2 tiny refs singing Kamaraaaaa

Bengals Offense is one offensive line away being a great offense.

Gatoraids

They made the mistake of underestimating a Cook from Louisiana

herodotus450

I guarantee!

Doktor Zymm

Arizona can’t stop the Coronavirus, but they can stop a single punt!

Gatoraids

Week 2 Arizona will ban face masks at home games

King Hippo

Look, I kind of knew that Everton’s masterclass would burn up my happiness quotient for the week. Maybe the month.

herodotus450

“We traded for one of the best receivers in the league!”
That’s good
“Then we renegotiated his contract to make him the highest paid non-QB in the league!”
That’s… ok?
“And we have Kyler Murray to throw it to him!”
That’s bad.

Brocky

“We have Kyler Murray”

“That’s bad”

Could have just led with that

Fronkenshteen

Every Cincinnator just made Skyline Chili in their Mack Wheldons.

Gatoraids

Burrows out with impacted bowels due to skyline chili

Hangover/drunk nap may happen.

Working from home never came in so handy

Woo Burrow!

Doktor Zymm

Grey Poupon-down!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Anyone else want to see RoJo take the starting job and leave fournette in his rear view mirror? Just me and the other guys who drafted him before the acquisition? Got it.

King Hippo

The (predictable) Brady ball-gurgling has made me mute the teevee.

ArmedandHammered

I thought for awhile I had clicked on that game instead of Red Zone.

Gratliff

Oh hey. Spectrum changed its packages during the summer and now I don’t have redzone. Folksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Gatoraids

Had to only up the 10 here since avoiding the sports bar

Gratliff

Pay extortion rates already for their “Gold” (wanking motion) package but was pacified by sports access, which apparently no longer applies

Gumbygirl

Me too. I AM PEEVED!

King Hippo

When I had to get a Spectrum box (old Time Warner ones were made obsolete), I asked the lady like 5 times “I still get RedZone, right??”

Gratliff

Ours was formerly Charter, which I would say is worse, but can you really say any of these are less evil than their peers?

King Hippo

Agreed.

Dunstan

Yeah, I discovered that this morning, too.

Brocky

Wouldn’t be the first time a lions receiver has dropped a game winning touchdown on opening day vs the bears

clint greasewood

49ers have fan cutouts in the end zone stands

The Maestro

Lions did too.

hippofant

The Lions replacing their fans with cardboard cutouts has nothing to do with COVID-19 though. It’s suicide-prevention month.

hippofant

Goddammit, Dreamboat’s passes look good.

Dammit.

Doktor Zymm

Good or bad, there’s just something a little unsatisfying about watching the modern 49rs

King Hippo

Will this walking corpse get all the bailout calls in Tampa, too?

Yes Other Hippo, he sure will!!

litre_cola

Who is this other Hippo? Does he like the outside?

hippofant

No, I do not.

litre_cola

Chubb had 10 carries for 60 yds. I am not a mathlete but maybe run him more?

Gatoraids

Hey referee Mr Brady I like your hair

Doktor Zymm

I would be so happy if Mostert starred in a Grey Poupon ad

King Hippo

whoa-ho!

King Hippo

I am thinking Pizza Hut (pie and wings) for RRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! v. Non-Gendered Cowpersons.

Yes, you should judge.

litre_cola

Oh no. That is good hustle, we did it on Thursday.
Remember when dine in Huts were a thing?

Doktor Zymm

They’re trashy family buffets in the UK!

litre_cola

We used to have all you can eat KFC in the prairies. That was a wild scene.

King Hippo

There was one on the way to my parents’ house when they lived on Oak Island. Stopped almost every time. Buffet still had old school KFC potato wedges, even.

Gatoraids

Doesn’t joe buck have a cowboys game to announce

Gatoraids

They shoulda made Brady and Brees play defense as well for this game

King Hippo

Yes, Dreamboat fucking dies, we know Breesus would come back 3 days later.

Doktor Zymm

Yes, the air quality is ONLY unhealthy, good thing football is unhealthy anyway, PLAY BALL

King Hippo

Man, I want the Mad Max hellscape feed!

Doktor Zymm

Eh, it’s not that great, instead of the awesome glowing red sky it’s just slightly more solid looking fog right now

King Hippo

that really is all disappoint

herodotus450

More like Joe “Can I Burrow a Feeling” amirite?

King Hippo

My addict brain wants to play some Footy Manager, but I don’t want to be semi-cheating on RedZone.

Gumbygirl

Here comes the Senior (citizens) Bowl!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I can’t decide which of these walking T-Mobile billboards I want to win the U.S. Open.

Dunstan

My logic is this: I’m a Fed fan. I don’t want Nadal to pass him on total Slams. That means we need someone to beat Rafa on clay. Thiem is the best shot at that, and the confidence boost of winning the U.S. Open might help him.

Also, I find Zverev to be a bit of a flake and tough to cheer for.

Dear browns,

At the request of my mother, I gave up smoking and drinking at the onset of Covid. Since Jan, not a drop or a cig.

Your performance today has resulted in me drinking a pint of gin and chain-smoking a pack of camel unfilters.

I hate you the same way you hate success.

That is all.

Yours,

JSD

P.S. Eat a dick you bastards.

litre_cola

We all need an escape!

Doktor Zymm

That’s about 9 months, you just birthed a hate-baby

King Hippo

RumoUrs of an improved Bungles OL may have been premature.

tomsellecksmoustache

There is no reason for Bengals vs Chargers to be a 4pm game. This is spiritually 1pm game with Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts calling it in front of a stadium with approximately the same amount of people in it.

Fronkenshteen

That Swift drop cost me all my early action. Penis.

Brocky

My hands are shaking

King Hippo

Pop a pill, always straightens me out.

So, this must be the U.S. Open final thread, too, right?

Right?

Hell, it took years but we are now a futbol site on Saturdays!
