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.

I see Jared Goff has reverted back to Baby Buster.

Gumbygirl

Jesus Christ Rams! This is embarrassing!

Yeah, I know. That shade of blue is too bright for a home color and that number thing on the bottom is just overkill.

Gumbygirl

That too!

I think the Bengals just broke their Radio Color Commentator.

I need an audio version of this because I know goddamn well Joe would literally say “Thank You, The Rock”

I’m starting to think that nobody here knows of the The Rutles.

Horatio Cornblower

I know of these Rutles you speak of

Mr. Ayo

Hey, hey, we’re The Rutlees
And people say we rutleey around
But we’re too busy singing
To put anybody down

Viva La Tabula Raza

I was aware of them in the mid-late 70s, I do remember seeing All You Need is Cash and the SNL appearances, but did not realize they had gone to the level of Beatles-satire thatyou have posted today, what with all the album covers etc.. Your posts made me go over and look at the wikipedia entry, and Holy Cow!

Brick Meathook

All the album covers are from the original “All You Need Is Cash” TV-movie.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I believe it; I might remember a little better if it hadn’t been 45 years since I saw it on a 19″ B&W TV, stoned out of my gourd.

Brick Meathook

“Meet The Rutles” was the first “Spinal Tap” and I think it’s even better. The attention to detail is extraordinary. Full of Monty Python and original SNL talent, plus an ex-Beatle here and there.

Oh, screw you, you worthless overpaid fatass!

Bengals OL used Pass Blocking. It was Super Effective!

Eagles weakness to air attacks X4

Fox is advertising the presidential debate like it’s a fucking boxing match.

Mr. Ayo

Ooh, can it be that? I’d watch the fuck out of that.

Brick Meathook

I’d rather see a gunfight

Mr. Ayo

Neither of those doddering boobs know how to shoot, must lest load, a firearm.

Then you give them claymore mines

I keep saying, if duels weren’t outlawed, we wouldn’t be in this mess!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

There’s a movement building to get Biden to bust out a few pushups during the debate, then challenge Tulsa Doom to do the same.

King Hippo

Diamond Joe would beat him senseless. I would enjoy.

bk109

That’s actually a good idea – you guys can do an MMA-style event and the winner takes … American Samoa 😀

Brick Meathook

“you guys?”

bk109

Americans as a whole, duhhhhrr… Or you DFOers of the American persuasion, but I’m pretty sure kidnapping presidential candidates is illegal and VERY hazardous

Brick Meathook

Who are you voting for?

bk109

Sinn Fein local / Fine Gael parliament, though I’m not sure why you’d care?

Brick Meathook

I might ask you to vote for me

bk109

I’m sorry, but my vote is my own and nothing.. short of a generous donation to the “Bk109 fund for moar booze” will change that XD

Jalen Mills entire career is built on a PI no-call against Julio Jones in the end zone in the NFC CG

Horatio Cornblower

Awfully nice of Rikki’s Raiders to carry Burkhead into the endzone on their shoulders.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It wouldn’t surprise me if they were singing “he’s a jolly good fellow!” while they did it.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I should be happy they aren’t broadcasting the game here in LA.

TheRevanchist

I’m getting the game. I’m just happy I’m not getting the Rams.

NFC

What’s weird here is I didn’t hit the post button, but apparently it was meant to be, so here it is

bk109

lol, watching the advert extolling how good iPhone is for protecting your privacy is so delightful… especially given how much celep spank material has already been leaked from there judging by something called “The Fappening” that we have to keep nuking from work-issue computers XD

Eagles got the wrong Dakotan QB. Josh Allen is the chosen Buffalo.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Interesting that Fox News had an ad for the debate – I assume it’s airing on regular Fox, isn’t it?

Spur

Why are the Viks so shiity now? Defense got old while waiting for Cousins to be traded?

Big play by Richard Rogers(?)!

Soooooo… you’re suggesting that Gase was giving Joe Judge coaching tips again?

Like, seriously, Aaron Rodgers’ pecs can’t be happy to have been upstaged by State Farm guy’s.

It’s weird watching the Bengals. I know they score points but I just can’t picture it

Philadelphia is starting to make the Bengals pass rush look good. That’s bad.

The fuck. Did Doug spend time with Jason Garrett during the offseason?

Jesus Christ, Browns

Brick Meathook

I just saw a Trump commercial in Los Angeles!

It convinced me, I’m voting for him.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I saw it too! I’m kind of amazed at how ugly the people in the ad were.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was particularly amused by the obvious immigrant from a “shithole country” who was basically voting to have herself deported.

bk109

Funny enough immigrants can be a bit more conservative when it comes to illegal immigrants than the baseline, probably because they fall into the “If I could do it the right way, why should we allow those people to take a shortcuts”

…or at least that’s my perspective as an immigrant from a shithole country 😀

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Oh, for sure. I just think it’s funny that they couldn’t find a native-born black man or woman who supports ol’ Tulsa Doom now that Herman Cain is dead.

Brick Meathook

Which shithole country? I consider Canada a shithole country.

Gratliff

So you’ve been watching the NHL again

Brick Meathook

I lived there for 8 months last year. I thought everyone knew that.

Gratliff

Well yes, but the joke is that Canadian teams suck

Brick Meathook

I learned to watch Montreal Canadiens games, in Quebecois. They lead for two periods then blow it in the third.

Tabernac!

bk109

Bulgaria, thankfully I’m a dual citizen of Ireland and Sweden nowadays, so the old country is slowly fading into memory 😀

I heard that shit from my grandparents who came in when there were basically no restrictions and also lied about their country of origin anyway

Gratliff

Well, great grandparents lied. My grandmother would have been like 6 at the time.

Gumbygirl

It convinced me those people are scary nuts! SOCIALISM!

And I saw an advert for Love Island and Big Brother and I feel that much stupider for it

BugEyedBoo

The British version of Love Island will break you of thinking that British accent == smart.

bk109

The British version of Love Island (or rather Professor Tosspot’s review of it) was enough to make me weep for humanity 😀

Big QB mediocre-off in Philadelphia

Also of note: sub-mediocre OL play

Burrow is back. Eagles tried to kill Finley though on that run.

The way they romaticize this “grew up on a farm” shit is really obnoxious.
