Your “Language is a Virus Also” Sunday Afternoon NFL Football Open Thread

I laughed way too much at my dumb joke. TO THE GAMES!

Jags/Bengals:

Do you have A.J. Green sitting on your team, mocking you for your draft decisions? Yeah, he hasn’t even caught 50% of the balls headed his way yet but Fear Not! He’s been covered by cb’s Hayward, Ward and Slay the first three weeks but this Jags D has the highest expected points per pass play so far this year.

Vikes/Texans:

I’ve never drafted Will Fuller, ever, because inconsistency and injuries but if you have him this might be a spot. The once formidable Minny D is giving up the 4th most fantasy points to wr’s.

Browns/Cowboys:

Dalton Schultz was on no one’s radar and only became a starter in wk. 2 but he’s already TE10. Cleveland gives up the 3rd most targets and receptions to the position.

Ravens/Team:

[wails “The Waiting is the Hardest Part”] The frickin snaps arrangement in the Baltimore backfield is Dobbins (38%), Ingram (35%) and Edwards (27%). Team’s D-line flashed in wk.1 but now Ioamidis is on IR and Young is listed as doubtful. Ravens win this running away.

Saints/Lions:

As mentioned by Fronk(?), “Stafford Smash!”. Since wk.10 last year all but two qb’s have thrown for two or more scores vs. the N.O. D. NO D. Get it?

Cards/Panthers:

Want some data that reinforces your noggin notion that Bridgewater is a passive game manager? On throws over 5(!) yards his completion percentage is 43.4. Meanwhile, on the other side, Murray struggles in the 10-19 ‘intermediate’ range-his passing grade of 54.2 is the league’s worst.

Chargers/Bucs:

You may want to start Brady this week because 1) he threw 3 td’s last week and 2) Tampa’s run game is in tatters what with Fournette out and Jones The II being who he is.

Seahawks/Fins:

Trying to decide whether to start Carson and I see Miami’s run D hasn’t allowed a runner more than 56 yards so far this year. That’s not really a stat, that’s just happenstance, right?

He’s more scar tissue than man now.

I just took my first lead of the season. It’s been bad.

“Is he a good running back though?”
“Well, he’s D’Ernest, at least.”

425 yards for Cleveland with a minute to go in the third. Mind-boggling

AJ Green is finally dead (but feels mostly like the end of Old Yeller).

Nah. Handed it off on 3rd and short to Gaskin who was dropped for a loss. 5th FG taken on 4th and 5. Hox still up 17-15

Goddammit Chargers, if you let that asshole lead a comeback, may Boltman remove your heads to make some new bongos or bongs, either one!

Unsurprised

Bongs for some. Little skull rattles for others.

Dak has a QB rating of 153 and is losing by 24 and that’s very funny

2 TDs off fumbles in the second quarter, one of which was Dak

Per the BLEERH Minion officializing JAX-CIN, the Bengals now play in Cincinnata.

Goddamn. Thanks to that Dallas D, you can’t tell the new Browns from the old Browns

Browns already have 350 yards. I don’t know if they’ve ever had 350 yards before

Unsurprised

Sure. In absolute numbers

Unsurprised

Wow. Gamer was actually not that bad. I miss never seeing it before. Although I still can’t get over how much of it was filmed in Albuquerque back when I lived there and never knew this. Or maybe I didn’t care. Anyway, entertaining flick. Neveldine and Taylor are maybe not geniuses but definitely good at executing their vision.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Brick worked on that film! I think. I know he was in the building when YuCo invited me in to screen it.

Unsurprised

Jesus. The idea of me when that was being filmed In 2007-08 meeting you or especially Brick is quite something.

Carson passed his concussion protocol and is back in.

Damn it, Scotchy. I was going to add that the NFL concussion protocol is such a joke that Johnny Carson could pass it.

Is Tom Brady done again?

Seriously, the P*ts starting Hoyer Country are in better shape.

bk109

And now you’re seeing why no one really threw a fit when Brady moved to that retirement franchise in Florida! I respect the guy, but he’s basically a slightly less ded version of the ZombieManning SB run since before the SB push against the Rams 😀

I feel like the league is making up for never being able to touch Brady on NE.

Really weird watching a Cowboys game without Buck and Aikman in the booth.
