TO THE GAMES!
Raiders/Chargers:
That durn rook qb Herbert is 4th in the league in QB rating while passing on third downs. It wasn’t supposed to be this easy but the slipper keeps on fitting. The Raiders don’t defend outside the numbers very well so wr Williams might see some action and your sneaky play is Jalen Guyton who ran 40+ routes last week. He’s leading the league in yards per reception at a gaudy 29. As you might expect, his YAC is enormous. (that sounds, umm, odd)
Steelers/Cowboys:
I heard a satellite radio fantasy talker guy say, “the Steelers sometimes don’t show up for big games”. HOW IS THIS A ‘BIG GAME’? Anyhoo, since Prescott went down Zeke has been RB36, just behind the likes of Philip “just the one ‘l’, please” Lindsay and J.D. McKissic. I guess he’s finally full-full of ballast, amirite? He’s listed as questionable and if you’re able to trade him away you should because there are only 2 easy games-Minny and Cincy-left on the sked. As for someone trending upward, look no further than Conner. He’s RB12 right now and he has the Bengals and Jags after this cakewalk.
Fins/Cards:
Miami’s D has slowly ticked upward and that has a lot to do with cb’s Jones and Howard being healthy at the same time. Still, it looks like the Cards get premo blocking te Maxx Williams back and Chase Edmonds has the rock. He does very well when he gets more than 14 carries in a game. The Cards love to run from a two te set and the Fins rank 30th when trying to defend the run from that formation. I don’t expect Miami to score many points on O because their rb position is a mess and because Tua didn’t exactly Herbert himself out there last week.
Go get ’em.
Seems like it would be advantageous to agree beforehand on a play to be run when you would normally spike the ball
That lass pass was thrown 3 yards short of the end zone, so that’s encouraging.
I mean, just put some air on it. That reffing crew likes a good BLEERGH.
Hmm.

How will this Cowpoker drive end?
a) Field Goal
b) Interception
c) Punt
d) Clock runs out
E) All of the above
Dallas coaching staff talking McCarthy out of going for the FG and then an onsides kick.
Honestly, I want Dallas and Pittsburgh to lose, and Miami and Arizona to win. I’m not sure how that can be arranged, but I want it.
In no way, shape, or form do you kick here.
/but then also don’t leave a guy open down the sideline, 30 yards downfield. IDIOTS.
It’s not going to matter.
If Mike McCarthy put half the energy into coaching that he does screaming at officials after his QB got sacked for the eleventeenth time, the Cowboys would be an unstoppable juggernaut.
Oooo, was that a horsecollar? I think that might have been a horsecollar.
Fire Mike McCarthy, but think better of it later that evening, and hire him again with a contract extension
You go to hell.
Did you notice that he’s gotten even fatter? Because he’s totes got even fatter.
In fairness, have you had Texas brisket!?
Since last week.
Koach Kliff has titties, and it freaks me out.
Reading the DFO thread from last night and saw a comment from bk109 being excited about Bioware working on a FOURTH Mass Effect game.
I miss when we could be that hopeful about the world.
Can’t believe everyone’s disrespecting Andromeda like this
*Clears throat, puts on serious face* Do you…*giggle, ahem* Do you think the Cowboys can regain the lead? *snort, uncontrollable laughter*
Think Ebron did that to the Eagles too
Can Gritty start coming to Eagles games?
That replay review will be a womp womp. He bobbled it.
Although thanks to him I have learned some interesting parboiled ham recipes

phuck u spanos
I assume Mike Williams would have had that if he didn’t break during the play
Clips should run a QB draw here. It’d work.
19-18 has to be some kind of scoragomi.
Gotta go for it, Yinz.

Does he not know he’s in Texas?
I mean, if the Clips’ 8th string RB ain’t go to Ball So Hard University, what a waste.
BLEERGH FEASTS
I contend that the PIT/DAL game, while not the anticipated snuff film, is still hilarious
Whaddya mean ya can’t just knock the receivers over!?
We probably would have held on to more Pacific colonies if we realized how many talented football (and rugby) players would grow up there
As long as Zeke is unhappy, I’m happy.
Huzzah!
Added bonus is that Ol’ Double J probably isn’t happy either.
“Who’s Intercepting Gilbert Grape?”
Goddammit, Zymm, how long were you sitting on that gem?
To be fair, he’s a comedian filling in at QB. You can’t expect him to know the rules that well.
I’m just waiting for him to yell “AFLAC!” as an audible.
SHIT. I don’t have the Dallas QB name memorized to make joke calls
“Blue salami”?
That can’t possibly be good.
What is that, an Al Franken pickup line?
Could have sworn it was a Dallas audible a few plays back.
Pittsburgh thought they ate a smart pill, but I guess it was just a goat turd.
Dallas’s ST seem really good, which I can only assume is the product of having received so many kicks this year.
Practice practice practise.
Unless this is a squib, semi-onside kick…I don’t get why PIT didn’t go for two after that BLEERGH.
SHANKLOR FEASTS
Does an actual block still get attributed to SHANKLOR? That’s like Trump taking credit for an Obama achievement.
SHANKLOR’S WILL MANIFESTS ITSELF IN MANY WAYS
Look at that, a one score game.
Oh good, the Steelers will be pissed off for next week’s game. Is it too early to start drinking?
Never!
Pretty sure you’re supposed to start as soon as you move to Cincinnati.
Just to get this one record, I wrote “Game over” in my Greggggggggggg endorsed notebook when McCarthy failed to go for it on 4th and inches.
“Ben usually hits that in his sleep.”
Just too bad he takes to same approach to dating.
Do not kick the FG here. You are 2-6 and have nothing to lose.
McCarthy you fat cowardly piece of shit.
Two-score *wanking motion* lead
Gee, I wonder if the 7-0 Steelers are capable of two scores in 15+ minutes.
He’s going FG for sure
I had no reason to justify any hope otherwise.
So they just call him Tua because they’re too lazy to learn how to pronounce his last name?
I can relate. There’s a reason I only refer to Pittsburgh’s QB as “Ben” or “Rapey.”
Elliott is still doing the “feed me” thing with a 2-6 record, in case you were wondering if he’d ever knock that off.
I wondered why he ever knocked it on
