There’s a lot not to like about the tilt on offer tonight if you’re a fan of well-played football. There’s not likely any meaty fantasy action to be had here. We’ll waddle on through as we always do though.
Fallout:
-Someone who has fallen out of a job (for now) is Takk McKinley who was just a bit too vocal about his desire to be traded. Did he at least play well? No he did not. What did running his mouth cost him? A 10 million dollar option. Movin’ on…
-Just when it seemed the Bucs were the best that the NFC had to offer, Brady lays an egg. By throwing 3 pics and barely crossing the 200 yard mark passing he had his third worst performance ever. There’s no doubt he and team will regain former footing but this came as a shock.
-Also shocking? Kalen Ballage-the guy who failed a Jets physical-racked up 84 yards of O and scored a TD. Completely out of nowhere! Doesn’t say much about Joshua Kelly, does it?
-Back on the injury bus is McCaffrey who was banged up on the Panthers last set of downs.
-Now This Is News! Danny Dimes went an entire game without turning the ball over, in just his 21st try! Yes, he did fumble twice but one went out of bounds and the other he recovered himself.
-Josh Allen sailed out of the doldrums with a fine performance and may have regained early-season form. A shoutout has to go to Bills OC Brian Daboll, a man that wants to shove the ground game down everyone’s throat. Recognizing that one can throw at will on Seattle’s secondary and that the game would likely be a race to 40 points, he unleashed all the dragons and got the W.
TO THE GAME!
Pats/Jets:
-This weekend of football flipped several narratives on their respective heads so maybe tonight Cam recaptures the magic? Or will it be the Elite Joe Flacco? The latter and his 52% completion look to do some damage vs a secondary that is without cb Gilmore.
-The Pats secondary has been coming around, allowing the third-least amount of fantasy points to wr’s the last 4 games. They’ll be dealing with (maybe) Crowder, Perriman, Mims and Berrios.
-Think that receiving crew is bad? Check out the Pats “”Posse of Inadequacy”, Myers, Byrd, Olszewski and some practice squadder whose name I forgot to write down. Lordy. There’s a few reasons why New England has only 1(!) TD pass through the air the last 4 weeks.
It’s all up to you guys now.
Death, Taxes and Cam Newton getting destroyed on a roughing call.
Hey, they called a roughing call for Cam for once!
It’s a Pavlovian response with the refs, hangover from when Brady was the NE QB.
Cam got lite up.
So the cat’s back from the vet. It may be a neurological issue, because her motor functions have deteriorated in the last week or so.
We’ll see how it looks this week, with a steroid to try and ease some inflammation, but I’m not sure if it’ll be enough.
Fingers crossed!
Good luck!
A neurological issue? So she’s a Jets fan too?
In ancient Gaul there was a city called Bagacum
Hey, i need about 8 more meaty fantasy points from Cam to win, so i take issue with your opening salvo
Sorry I’m late and salty
You know who else is salty? The residents of Bagacum.
Jets beating the Pats in an empty stadium is just the Jetsiest.
To destroy the tank.
“Can’t believe you went there. That’s my turf! Also, that’s a really good dog!
-rockingdog
The black face mask on Belichick is wildly appropriate.
Pats D fooled so badly that Flacco could throw against his body and still complete the pass.
The Jets are totally going to win this game , just shooting themselves in the foot on the road to Trevor Lawrence.
It’s 2020, after all.
Time to embrace the new QB/RB duo, Flacco/Gore!
And my 0-16 bet. Assdicks.
Goddammit, this is the week I pick the team playing the Jest in DFO eliminator.
TITS! HUMPS! Thusday Night Fitbaw!
Waiting for my food to get here so I can have some wine.
You should have some wine while you wait for your food.
You should have some now, to make sure it’s still good. You don’t want to spoil good food with bad wine
I’ll have a whiskey to hold you over.
Really enjoying the post Brady Patriots
@Joliet Jake – this may be from before you became a regular here but I did a version of the Aristocrats: https://www.doorfliesopen.com/2017/05/03/the-bearistocrats/
NE is never lacking scrappy white guys
“NO ONE DENIES THIS!”
I really enjoyed Bob Saget’s during the documentary. But Gilbert Gottfried is the gold standard,
Kevin Pollack’s Chris Walken is the only thing I remember about that movie. It’s too freakin funny

JETS UP!
ELITEDOWN
That really was a terrific pass.
Oooh, an elite throw.
Am off this Friday, next Friday and Thanksgiving week.
Praying i can keep my sanity.
Sanity is WAY overrated. Stay drunk.
FLACCO COMPETENCE ACHIEVED
Eternally.
A nickname to consider for Daniel Jones given his, ahem, generous nature: Danny Donations.
Danny March of Dimes?
A Sanchez jersey? We’re gonna need to check her ID, I think.
As you can tell by the size, it was originally for her much younger sister.
Jets linebackers don’t give a FUCK.
Everyone getting these “Cuups” bra ads? Nipples!
Does anyone have melting tundra insurance or are you having Nunavit?
I don’t abide hoar mongers.
Its the sneaky Canadian cultural reference. With Trebek gone someone has to pick up the ball and run forward before the snap with it.
yum. Sushi was a good call. nothing heavy
Sushi is usually a great decision
In the old times I would post a Tubes video and make some sort of Cherry Blossom reference. Those days are gone now.
Allow me.

Lame. That’s not how you wear a jersey.
wat
You feckless, gutless… YOU’RE OH AND FUCKING EIGHT!
(On the other hand full speed on the tank)
Gore could have run out of bounds for the first down but he turned back towards the defender, got extra yards, and hit him.
The movie was very very funny. And wrong. And funny.
We need a camera solely for Jest #77 waddling along the sidelines.
Nice to see Gore on the Jets and not have it be a Flight 93 docudrama.
WOOOOOOO
Gotta love that graphic with Cam ‘standing strong’ and his “2 TD, 7 Interception” stat line being prominently displayed.
I do love a good Rube Goldberg device (checks channel) PIX-11?
Mostly, I just want another buttfumble.
Is this going to be a classic “moveable object meets resistible force” match-up?
5-5 tie
All I need is 6 points from the New England defense to secure a fantasy victory this week.
God, this game is going to be awful. And yet my never-ending pile of marking is somehow worse.
Bring it on, world. You can’t beat me down any more than I already am.
Are the Navy women sailors called seamen too?
Seaperson just doesn’t sound right.
I think they’re all just sailors these days.
Actually women in the navy became more prevalent during the early 80s, back when Hall & Oates were at their peak. The women would joke about outdoing the men in day-to-day sailor tasks, often singing “Maneater” to show their superiority and camaraderie. Eventually the nickname stuck and the women became known as “SeaManeaters”
Was that too far to go for a weak payoff? As my wife often says, yeah, now can I get some sleep?
California folks – how many of you have earthquake insurance?
No need for it for me. I live in the Central Valley, which means I’m not on any major fault line. Those guys along fault lines need worry about it.
Here is a link to show where earthquakes primarily happen vs the central part of the state (the shithole) where we have a lot less quakes.
https://scedc.caltech.edu/recent/
Nope. Way too expensive.
If it shakes hard enough that the house falls down, you’re probably dead anyway.
I have it.
400 a year I think?
Seriously? Who’s your insurance company? $400 a year is not bad at all. Are you sure it’s not $400 a month?
EQ insurance is administered by the state, so doesn’t matter what company you get it through (although we’re a State Farm family because Aaron Rodgers is dreamy). There are also options on deductibles (either 10 or 15%). May also depend on location, like if your house is in the middle of San Andreas Fault.
Looked it up to make sure…paid $470 this year.
I think Beefcake Sunday Night was a success. Felt good to get back to some normalcy again.
USA USA
Now Andy Reid is sad (and hungry) he missed out on this “Beefcake”
Beefcake is what the nation needs to heal.
Worked wonders for me in that I achieved several erections.
Evening Folks!
bow wow
This should at least be better than last night’s game, but I still think I’m going to keep playing Civ instead of watching
Stillers starting tight end Vance McDonald has the rona. So, this season was fun while it lasted.
He didnt happen to kiss Mike McCarthy yesterday, did he?
If that was the case, McDonald would be suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure as opposed to Covid.
Even before this week’s beatdown, there is no way the Bucs were the best the NFC had to offer. Every NFC team has fatal flaws but the Seahawks, Packers, and Saints are all better than the Bucs.
Which means the Super Bowl is the Chiefs’ to lose.
I think the Bucs getting to the NFC Championship game is a no-brainer. The Seahawks D is very suspect, the Packers have lost to the Bucs and 4 of the Saints 6 wins have been by one score.
Yes, the AFC wins going away in the SB
I was worried about the Steelers being good competition for the Chiefs. But, then, they struggled a lot against the Cowpoke. I am no longer worried in the least.
On a damper note, non-politician thoughts and prayers for Gata Weaselo. She’s at vet’s getting an x-ray for we’re not entirely sure what. For the last week or so she’s barely left her cave in the basement, and even though she’s an older kitty (she’s 15) if it were degenerative it wouldn’t appear seemingly overnight.
Sorry to hear about that.
Booo.Sincerely sorry to see that. I lost my 15-year-old cat last month, so, I feel ya.

Sick pets are the worse. They cant tell you what’s wrong but they have the eyes and body language that say “please help me, it hurts”.
Stop making it dusty in here, please.
Awwwwww, fuck. Prayers indeed.
Best wishes – hopefully it’s nothing.
Do you like football and/or yourself? Well then why are you watching this game?
You like mayo on white bread?
Only if it’s in a bowl covered with room temperature whole milk.
Salt is too spicy for me.
I’m watching more to see if my 0-16 Jets bet lives for another week
It’s either that or Stepmom porn and honestly I’m a little suspicious of the whole “dad’s wife got her hands caught in the bed frame” angle.
