Your “Let’s Watch Some Ball!” Sunday NFL Football Open Thread

The site’s been slower than Andy Reid reaching for a shot of cold-pressed kale juice but we’re making the best of it. Rest assured there are monkey-type creatures fiddling around inside your laptop or mobile as you read this. And don’t worry, your Mothra-centric insertion videos are just between you, me and the DMV.

TO THE GAMES!

Pats/Bills:

Looks like the league has caught up to Cam and Co. Them Pats have generated all of 28 points these last three weeks and issues at wr (outside of Edelman) and rb have manifested themselves again this year. There’s nary a playmaker on the entire roster and the time sure looks right for Buffalo to end that 7 game losing streak.

Titans/Bengals:

More of the same for Burrow? A little ‘gets thrown on his butt’ here and a little ‘makes a great play’ there. Cincy’s pass-blocking grades out as the worst in the league, save the Vikes. Some reason for hope though is that the Titans D is one of four that allows positive yardage on more than 50% of snaps.

Raiders/Browns:

Cleveland can’t defend the slot worth a damn so feel free to go with Ruggs (39%) or Agholor (31%). Something else that may sway you? Ruggs’ aDOT from the slot is 23.3. Really, just play everyone because the Browns D gives up the 2nd most fantasy points to wr’s.

Colts/Lions:

Is Detroit turning it around? They’re 3-1 in their last four and since Golladay returned they have the league’s most efficient passing game. The Colts D was being talked up here and elsewhere but the teams they shut down were the Jags, Vikes, Jets and the offenseless Bears. The last two weeks they’ve given up 32 and 27 respectively.

Vikes/Pack:

Maybe you don’t have the luxury of sitting Thielen but you should give it some thought because cb Jaire Alexander has given up a total of 54 yards since wk 1. If Minny gets blown out are the winds of head coach change going to blow?

Jets/Chiefs:

Worst vs. Best. Who ya got? I’ve got Mahomes sitting by halfway thru the 3rd with 300 yards and 4 TD’s in his mitts.

Rams/Fins:

Tua, Aaron. Aaron, Tua. May as well set the rookie on fire, uh, put his feet to the fire is what I meant. It’s a bit puzzling that he’s behind center given that Harvard was playing fine and they had won their last two. Fitz had an average of only 2.4 seconds to get rid of the ball due to pass-blocking woes and that number should decrease today.

Steelers/Ravens:

Game O’ Day? These two are the heaviest blitzers in the league so both qb’s should be under a bit of pressure. My money is on the one that doesn’t have mobility issues and it’s well known that there are holes in Pitt’s secondary.

Do your thing.
