Your Monday Night Football Open Thread

It’s hard not to be excited for this one, isn’t it? But first, let’s do

Fallout:

-Foles is in and we’ve likely seen the last of Truth Biscuit in a Bears uni, barring injury. Looks like he becomes just another backup that floats around and you hear his name and say, “He’s still in the league?”.

-Another candidate must be Team’s Haskins. His QBR is 28, 10 points behind backup Kyle Allen’s 38. His percentage of uncatchable passes sits at 31.1% which is 10 points higher than the next in line.

-More qb news? Okay, Carson Wentz has also been all kinds of awful-on passes beyond 10 yards he throws an uncatchable ball an amazing 62.2% of the time. The next worst guy is at 50%.

-Josh Allen made believers out of some folks but not me. But then I looked at one stat and did a double-take. He sits at 13th in the league in adjusted pass completions and his PFF passing grade is 5th so far this year at 83.9. You know what might help to improve his play even more? (see below)

-I’ve whined about it, and Hippo has made mention as well-GIVE THE BALL TO SINGLETARY MORE! Yesterday he ran 13 times and had a 5.5 ypc average. He was also thrown to 4 times and made off with a 12.5 yard average. You add that up and it’s 17 touches. I’m not pointing this out as a fantasy guy but as a football fan. I just don’t get it-he’s a dynamic back that simply doesn’t get the opportunity to show what he can do. Gah!

TO THE GAME!

Chiefs/Ravens:

-there’s so much to talk about it’s hard to identify what is most salient but I’ll kick a few cans around.

-K.C. must be stout on early downs so that the Ravens are put in 3rd and long situations. The Ravens convert on 44% of 3rd downs which is a middle of the pack number but are still successful. That’s due to the fact that they don’t see that many because they’re getting fresh downs earlier in the possession. On 4th downs Baltimore led the league in conversions with a gaudy 71% success rate.

-The Chiefs need to target the lb unit because it consists of two rooks and 30 yr old L.J. Fort. Tight ends for the Texans and Browns have feasted to the tune of 16/148/2 so far this year.

-Speaking of te’s, Mark Andrews lines up in the slot 66% of the time so he should see plenty of Honey Badger. That matchup should be interesting.

-You figure this one will be close and high-scoring which means that someone will have to make a play to get the W. Lamar? Pat? Tyreek? Chris Jones? Dobbins? CEH? Who’s it gonna be?

Nine months nearly done and 2020 is still going strong!

Unsurprised

What’s the problem?

I take it that advertises just pay Baker Mayfield in gift cards and craft services . Its not that they want him he is just to cheap to pass up.

This theory has promise.

That is a lot of experience blowing simple calls. I am impressed.

Tampa Bay is a hell of a hockey club. Turns out this “draft as many skilled players as you possibly can” is a recipe for success. Who knew?

And trade for the Ice Giants’ captain, can’t forget that.

Harbaugh is going to punch a referee this game.

So we’ve gone from “What is catch?” to “What is Double Team Block?”?!

I love Fall. The crisp air, the radiant colors, the bleak realization that everything dies

King Hippo

Dog, I really enjoyed how much bleaker No Country for Old Men was in book form.

The Maestro

Folks.

Hope you’re well. God, I sure missed sportsing yesterday. It’s nice to be back.

So I noticed the MO is Baltimore is purple but the rest is black. Are they trying to be cute or did the groundskeepers just not give a uc .

just wait until Andrew Jackson takes office.

ESPN brought the A team…

Senor Weaselo

That’s why I suggested “feather touch.”

Ravens need a simulated fight in the stands to fire up the defense

Already some good stuff here. FITBAW as it should be.

I sat Mahomes thinking he’d get killed tonight, and started Newton instead. Fantasy sucks.

I’d second that…… wait a minute.

My fantasy of a Jessica Alba fuckfest weekend getaway to Jackson Hole in the winter is very much alive.

Hopefully she doesn’t get injured and is knocked out of your line-up.

So now that we brothers have taken over the QB position…white folk just have place kicking and TE now right?

It amuses me that all the ones with “brain” questions are honkies (Darnold, Brokeback, Bollo, Dakota Jeebus). My racist grandpa must be turning over in his grave.

I know we’re here to watch tonight’s really good football game, but can you please read this. I have this admirer that keeps contacting me. I’ve tried ghosting them, but its getting worse. I’m working on a reply to let them down gently. This is what I got so far:

I got your recent text message, telling me where you are going to be tomorrow. You keep telling me where you are going to be. How you need me. How I am a special part of your life. Please, this needs to stop. You don’t want me. You want to be loved. You want others to love you. Because you don’t love yourself.

I’ll admit, a small part of me wants to be with you. But I’m afraid that I’ll lose who I am and become merely a shadow of you. And that’s a disservice to both me and you. Part of me does feels like you do. But that was who I was. That’s not who I am. And that’s not who I want to be. I’ve grown as a person, and you need to do that to.

I don’t blame you for the person you’ve become. You’ve been told all your life who you need to be and how you need to act, and no one every just stop and said they love you just for being you. For that, you have my sympathies.

But this has to stop. All the text messages. Emails. Phone calls. All of it. This isn’t going to happen. Mr. President, please move on with your life.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Everyone talks about Mahomnes big contract. He has to get the MVP and the Superbowl ten years in a row to get that money.

JustStopDude

Oh and since it takes over a decade in between times I can point this out, the Browns currently have a winning record.

On pace for 15-1.

herodotus450

…the Browns currently have a winning record.

Uh oh guys I think JSD has finally lost it, that can’t be true.

JustStopDude

God bless the Bungles and the Washington Washingtons.

It would be a very Browns thing to go 15-1, and lose the first playoff game in heartbreaking fashion.

JustStopDude

A buddy of mine tried to make the argument that Lamar Jackson is a bust because he has gone 0-2 in the playoffs.

I pointed out that I would sacrifice his first born to the old gods if Baker had the same record.

JustStopDude

Its kind of crazy how the Chinese created and release the Covid virus just so the Ravens could not have fans at their Monday Night Football game.

At least that is according to Harbaugh.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Sounds legit.

ballsofsteelandfury

I am, for some reason, really looking forward to this game, which means it will probably disappoint.

Viva La Tabula Raza

For the first season in nearly two decades, my sphincter is not clenched about how the Patriots are doing. I kind of like it. It’s like I’ve traveled in time back to the 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. “Yeah, they might win a few games and maybe even the occasional division title,” but you knew they would fuck it up somehow.
Now it’s more like “interesting experiment with Cam; if it works out, great; if not, back to the future!”
Commence slings and arrows…

I actually like them now. I want Bellichick to do better without Brady than Brady does in Tampa.

Yeah, it took me awhile to figure out who I hated most, but it was Tahmmy by a mile!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Still close for me, Bill to a lesser extent, the owner and fan-base are good enough to keep the hate up.
