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!
