Your Very Second Sunday NFL Football Open Thread

Boy, that first slate was uninspiring wasn’t it? [is typing this at 6am] Perhaps we’ll have better luck this time around?

TO THE GAMES!

Rams/Cards:

Since their bye week the Rams have switched things up and thrown the 3rd-most amount of times and Kupp should be the primary beneficiary because Arizonny doesn’t defend the slot very well. Goff also does well against this division rival-last year he averaged 300 yards and 2.5 TD’s. Kyler is trying to play thru a shoulder ouchie and it has inhibited his ability to… run? He’s only had 10 carries for 46 yards the last 2 weeks.

Giants/Seahawks:

The Good? Rook o-lineman Andrew Thomas’ pass-blocking has steadily improved over the last month. [visions of Ereck Flowers have danced thru Giants fan’s heads] The Bad? For today’s game the lb unit is awash in UDFA’s, practice squadders and last round rookie picks. The Even More Bad? Qb fill-in Colt McCoy can’t make some of the basic longer throws required at his position. He’s that type that rainbows his passes to a spot on the field and prays that the wr runs under it before the cb/safety does. Guh. D.K. should have himself another good day, ain’t matter who defends him.

Eagles/Packers:

Speaking of long shots, I can’t help thinking that although Adams will get his, Rodgers will be looking for MVS at some point. Why? His 6’4″, 205 frame will be matched up against either Maddox (5’9″, 185) or Robey-Coleman (5’8″, 180). Jump Balls Ahoy, Matey! Rb Sanders will likely do well given that the Packers run D has given up an average of 101.1 yards per game to the opposing lead back over the last 3 games.

Pats/Chargers:

When you think about exploitable pass defenses the Pats don’t usually come to mind but if you’re a qb that likes to take deep shots, (like a certain acne-ravaged rook qb) only ATL and Detroit give up a higher percentage of completed passes. If you’re shopping for a safe, boring floor as far as rb’s are concerned look no further than Damien Harris. Since week 4 he’s fifth in rushing yards but 6 spots have been hard to come by. The dynamic runner that was ahead of Josh Jacobs on the Balallama depth chart has, under the supervision of Belichick, been turned into a dumb plodder. This further reinforces my theory every time someone puts on a Pats jersey they die a little inside-it could be physically or mentally or ethically but it happens.

The Yankees are leading the Mariners 8-5. I love a high scoring baseball game!

Horatio Cornblower

This ski race is in Finland and the winner, (Shiffrin finished 2nd), get to feed a baby reindeer. This is now the second best trophy in sports, behind only the Stanley Cup.

King Hippo

The only thing this late window has going for it is Sassy Ref.

King Hippo

MVS, showing why Devante is, and shall eternally remain, A.A. Ron’s only friend.

The Maestro

THAH FACKIN’ GREATRIOTS!!!!

King Hippo

Oh, Grumblelord is gonna be hard enough to cut glass at the half.

Game Time Decision

10 point swing there. Wow

King Hippo

one might question the wisdom in trying a 58+ yarder, down 21-nil, with a shitty kicker

Horatio Cornblower

McCarthy is coaching for two teams!?

King Hippo

hey, he’s big enough amirite???

ArmedandHammered

To assistant ‘Get the MILFs in the spread y formation’.

King Hippo

I don’t think Clippers du Merde watch much advance tape.

Horatio Cornblower

Too busy trying to avoid their medical staff.

herodotus450

Did doctors have to remove Wayne Gallman from the game? Supposedly you can live a normal, healthy game without one but, man…

Horatio Cornblower

Mikaela Shiffrin, best women’s skier in the world, is going to ski soon on NBC.

Probably dressed a little more warmly than this.

Mannish hands! 13/10 MARRY MEEEEEEEE

Horatio Cornblower

I’m absolutely comparing my hands to hers, and I am not doing well.

Gumbygirl

She could crack nuts with those thighs.

ArmedandHammered

Why do you think so many of her exes now sing soprano?

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t think she skips leg day.

Mr. Ayo

I think every day is leg day for her.

King Hippo

Continuing saga that is The Zane Diaries

Horatio Cornblower

My decision to start the Seattle defense against the Giants back-up QB seems sound so far.

/Seahawks give up 42 unanswered second-half points.

King Hippo

Nonetheless running over your neighboUr?

Recovery Whiskey

Thinking about just drinking til passing out, and joining the Hawks offense

Recovery Whiskey

Eagerly awaiting the “only 5-0 score in history” updates

Why has Seattle’s offense gone stagnant? Wilson get ED after a decade of banging?

Game Time Decision

Or he had the COVIDs and now has the ED

Recovery Whiskey

His throws look off. guessing maybe injury we didn’t hear about. he is missing stuff he normally hits.

Recovery Whiskey

Second week in a row they’ve flagged Wilson for throwing it away too well

Gumbygirl

Rrrrrammit!

Sharkbait

Need the over.

Horatio Cornblower

Just got back from helping a friend move in with his “significant other”, as I guess we call them after age 50, and I let them both know that they need to make this work, because I’m not helping anyone move ever again.

Now for some football, beer, and dick jokes.

King Hippo

Look, if you’re older than 20-something? You should make enough moneys to hire help for this shit.

Horatio Cornblower

He’s broke, (long stories), and if I didn’t help he was going to try to make the move with only the SO helping and he would absolutely have died trying.

King Hippo

And I bet there’s a certain Ontarion who could help in that respect!

Horatio Cornblower

If he asks me to help him move again I’m dming you his address and schedule.

Game Time Decision

That makes you a really good friend

King Hippo

as I am constantly reminded here, pretty much everyone is WAY nicer than me

Doktor Zymm

“significant other” is an ageless copout. That doesn’t change the fact that you should never, ever help them move again.

ArmedandHammered

The only move help i will ever do now, is helping to move food from the kitchen to the table.

Game Time Decision

As a wise man once said “I’m too old for that shit”

5-nil at the half!

Recovery Whiskey

Seahawks could have recovered for a touchdown, instead opt for the more difficult safety

Game Time Decision

Seattle safety. Hahahaha

SeaTruthers need to fair catch free kick!

The Maestro

Also, the correct hashtag for Jets fans this year clearly must be #abhorrenceforlawrence.

Gumbygirl

Ummm

ArmedandHammered

I have a sense of deja vu.

Gumbygirl

All over again! That’s ok, great minds think alike!

The Maestro

I see this now. There’s a reason that I never learned how to read. That way, I never have to admit I’m wrong.

Gumbygirl

You are never wrong! That’s why they call you The Maestro!

Sharkbait

Oh thats good

The Maestro

Did somebody accidentally put some black socks in the Rams’ uniform laundry?

Gumbygirl

It’s the same mystery substance that was trickling down Rudy’s face.

rockingdog

found a funny:

Release the vaccine in vape form and I promise no one will ask what is in it

King Hippo

As someone fading Aaron Jones, really appreciated A.A. Ron’s stubborn insistence that his only friend ever get the score.

Doktor Zymm

Unless you speaking of other league, with my D/ST and kicker done, you’ve already overcome my strength. I still rue the Dolphy trick play, but solid nonetheless.

King Hippo

stubbornly staying in the 60/40 range, though. I needed one more Magic Undies score (and he gave me a fumbre instead)

Doktor Zymm

Put not your faith in Yahoo estimates, put them instead in common sense

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I want to see an escalating tank-off between the Jets and the Jaguars. Like, by Week 17 I fully expect to see the Jags starting a Make-A-Wish kid at quarterback.

ArmedandHammered

How do you think Touch o Downs got his start?

I miss catchy tanking slogans, like “suck for luck” and “scoff for goff’

Oooh, good rhyme!

Gumbygirl

Abhorrence for Lawrence?

herodotus450

Allow torrents (of points) for Lawrence?

Is Tonyan a member of the Allium family?

Doktor Zymm

Much like the hook in boxing, catches are just violent hugs

King Hippo

“A Kiss With A Fist” was really about play-action passing ,, ppl forget that

Doktor Zymm

And “Raging Bull” was about a frustrated slot receiver they were trying to convert into a tight end

Doktor Zymm

Congrats to random Eastern European TD, and congrats to the commentators for pronouncing his name!

Recovery Whiskey

Wilson dropped the plate

Recovery Whiskey

Hawks doing the thing of dominating stats but not scoring. Thats a winning plan right

Doktor Zymm

“Buying time for the QB so he can throw it fucking nowhere”

Unsurprised

That describes at least half the offenses.

Thank you, ESPN, for the menu idea!

Jamal Adams looks recovered finally. Comment should’ve been further up

Whichever fat eligible receiver is next to the Bengals OT?

King Hippo

From reading Rotowire, it seems that every Gigantes supporter just hates Engram. Es verdad?

Doktor Zymm

So you think he might do better as a Jordan Reed style TE? (Although hopefully without the concussions of course)

King Hippo

Still can’t believe Donks hired Shurmur to coach Horse Cock Lock

Doktor Zymm

Is this the issue with the Giants in the past few years? I’ve honestly been having issues figuring out why they’ve been as bad as they have been, and lack of adaptability fits, though is kind of unexpected given they jettisoned Coughlin and Eli, so wouldn’t expect an attachment to stability after that

Doktor Zymm

Fair I guess, and very very NFC East…..not bad to have a solid run, but can’t be the only thing, smh

Recovery Whiskey

Major turnaround!

Doktor Zymm

Wentz’s goal for each game is just to survive. He knows that his ginger moustache bodes poorly for afterlife prospects

“If he dies I don’t have to pay him, right?” – “Diaper” Don T, Washington D.C.

Doktor Zymm

I like to think he has some sort of “Fuck You Pay my Estate” clause in his contract

Gumbygirl

Like he’s gonna pay him under any circumstance, lol.

King Hippo

beat me to it!

Unsurprised

Not an adequate sacrifice to the gods.

Gumbygirl

While I’m sure nothing can top the lulz of the last few minutes of the Raiders/Jest game, the Rams are wearing their dirty laundry uni’s. Always good for a chuckle.
