Your “Talk Amongst Yourselves” Early Slate of NFL Games Open Thread

Because there seem to be so many of them we’ll go directly-

TO THE GAMES!

Rams/Bills:

Rook rb Moss is out with a toe ouchie so the problem for Coach McDermott now becomes, “How do I limit Singletary to under 20 touches? Hmmm…”. He’ll find a way.

Raiders/Pats:

I was thinking Pats for survivor because the Raiders are coming off the meaningful victory and all the hoopla surrounding their new digs, plus traveling cross-country and playing the early game vs. the Pats at home. Or I could stream the teams playing the Jets. Decisions are hard.

Team/Browns:

Much was made of the vaunted Team’s pass rush after wk. 1 and then wk. 2 happened. Quickly recapped, there was not much vaunt. Mayfield and Co. shouldn’t have much of a problem here.  Shouldn’t.

Texans/Steelers:

Pitt’s pass rush generates pressure within 2 seconds on 44% of qb dropbacks. Look for Watson to run around a bit more than usual to counteract that.

9ers/Giants:

New York will be looking Wayne Gallman’s way when they need a competent plodder (who was inactive last week) to get them 3 yards on first down. San Franny should walk away with this despite fast running out of Next Man Up’s.

Bengals/Eagles:

Burrows is tied for second in attempted passes with 97(!) so far. Kudos for him in that he has a 3:1 TD/INT ratio. Let’s call him Joey Ice (that elbow, postgame)

Titans/Vikes:

Perhaps this is the week rook wr Justin Jefferson hits the smash spot-he’s playing primarily in the slot so far and would be up against an UDFA that has given up 80+ yards and a score so far.

Bears/Falcons:

Julio is a game-timer that didn’t practice all week. PFF has given the Bears O-line the 3rd best ranking with respect to protecting the qb, noting that they didn’t give up a single quick pressure to the Giants last week. I feel that sometimes these rankings should be adjusted for ‘quality of opponent’.

Have at it down below. We’ll have our esteemed footski commenters start things off.

Can you imagine how cold Buffalo’s stadium is going to be in December without 20,000 cubic yards of beer farts in the seats? Or Green Bay?

Bengals actually sack somebody?

Aw, hell. I feel asleep during the game again. I’ll just sit patiently until the busload of schoolgirls show up and the beer trees bloom.

Glory Boy Josh Allen refuses to hand off to Singletary.

Fronkenshteen

Really? There’s only like 11 points scored so far.

Story of my life.

Fronkenshteen

I know the 3 year rule is for cue-bees, but if it applies to are-bees AT ALL, Joe Mixon is a flop.

Redshirt

When you gotta make your first cut when you’re getting the handoff, you’re not gonna have a good stat line.

King Hippo

yeah, that OL is still a tire fire

King Hippo

Sweet, I forgot to live bet Baby Buster and pals.

The Bortles?

rockingdog

found a funny:

I know this is so so so low on the list of big picture priorities, but we’ve got to stop acting like the majority of birds are good at singing.

The only good Dallas is hurt

Spur

figures, i just picked him up

Gratliff

I knew this was somehow the fault of the worst Dallas

Gratliff

May be a broken ankle. Neat.

Spur

Ertz’s voodoo doll of Dallas is most effective.

Game Time Decision

Raiders turnover that shouldn’t have been is given right back with pickerception

Bleergh is happy

Jordan Reed is the best Gingerbread Man football player in history.

rockingdog

Shit

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I like that the State Farm guy has bigger muscles than Aaron Rodgers.

Mother Puncher

Cool how the Bengals completely revamp their defense but still can’t resist personal fouling away the game

Fun Fact*: when their name was sent across the Atlantic it was garbled, and that’s why we call them Mott The Hoople over here instead of Meet The Rutles…

Does it factor in Offensive Line? 2 yards may as well be two miles.

JustStopDude

How the fuck do the Browns consistently disappoint? Its amazing. I could time my watch to it.

King Hippo

Maybe BUF scores here, I can live bet RRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!!

King Hippo

I find most TEs are nae fast enough for end arounds. Plus, not exactly used to catching laterals.

King Hippo

HUZZAH for benching Engram!!

Gonna be a bad year, folks

I thought Ridley might’ve turned it over there.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Cincy’s defense sucks and blows concurrently.
