Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Let’s jump right in.

Fallout:

-Jalen Hurts has been announced as the Eagles starter next week. Funny how a bit of mobility upends a D that had a playbook predicated on blitzing the hell out of Wentz. Carson was the most sacked qb in the league when he was pulled. Hurts wasn’t sacked once and averaged 11 yards per scramble. He missed a few wide-open guys but Wentz was doing that anyway. At least this rook brings ‘watchability’ back to the position again. Any Eagles fans that screamed bloody murder when he was drafted care to backpedal?

-Guenther gone. The Raiders Defensive Coordinator (in name only) was in charge of a unit that had surrendered 29 more points than the 4-9 Chargers, including an average of 32.5 over the last four (1-3) games.

-Team is now fronting the most entertaining, fascinating and incompetent division in the NFL. It’s going to go down to the wire in the same way that “The Upper Class Twit of the Year” race did.

-Thank You For Being A Friend, is what I hoped Hassan Reddick tweeted to Danny Dimes after the former finished with 5 sacks and 3 fumble recoveries.

-[grumbles under breath] Stupid rook rb’s are finally getting their shit together after languishing on various benches. (in the league and fantasy) Jonathan Taylor and Cam Akers had themselves games yesterday and I’m sure Dobbins will bring the thunder tonight. [“sons a bitches”]

TO THE GAME!

Ravens/Browns:

-This won’t settle anything in the division but if the Ravens win they can muddy the picture a bit and if the Browns get the W they’re but one game behind the faltering, run game-less Steelers.

-Ravens will bring the heat because that’s what they do and because Mayfield struggles mightily in that scenario. Of the 32 qb’s with the most playing time Mayfield is ranked 31st and he’s had a 21-39 for 189 (1-1) line vs the Ravens and a 10-18, 119 (1-2) line vs the Steelers.

-Kareem Hunt is slowly being phased out of both the run and pass game as the season progresses. The under on his prop bet 46.5 rushing total looks tasty.

-If Marquise Brown is in your lineup things are looking good. He’s scored in 2 straight games and had the most receiving yards this year vs the Browns

-The Ravens Brandon Williams is back and he is essential to the Ravens run D. With him playing no team has gained more than 150 yards. When he’s been out the D has given up 194, 173 and 173.

-Also keep an eye on te Andrews if he’s a go. The Browns have given up 10(!) TD’s to opposing tight ends.

Make with the wheezing sounds and the jibber jabber, why don’t ya.

Also poop, apparently

TheRevanchist

This is a great ending. This is how Monday night football should be.

Horatio Cornblower

Well, next week is Pittsburgh vs. Bengals, so don’t get used to it.

Doktor Zymm

That could be fun in a car-crashy rubbernecking sort of way

Horatio Cornblower

It’s going to be a snuff film.

Mr. Ayo

Different strokes for different folks.

King Hippo

I mean, it IS a series that involved a recent crippling!

Gumbygirl

Let us pray!

Doktor Zymm

People think Baltimore’s nickname is “Charm City” but it’s actually “C-harm City” where the first C stands for Cleveland

Horatio Cornblower

That’s fantastic

Doktor Zymm

I wish we could have a banner gif

Horatio Cornblower

RGIII has retweeted this. Poopgate confirmed!

Horatio Cornblower

What a great game! There are no losers in a game like this! Except for you Browns, you scored less points, so you guys are losers.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Is that you, President Trump?

Recovery Whiskey

The New Factory > the old Factory? A loss is a loss

Doktor Zymm

I think that was possibly my favorite crazy-ass last play ever

Redshirt

They hook and lateraled to the wrong endzone.

Mr. Ayo

For the cover! Just a crazy game all around.

King Hippo

Scorigami??

Mr. Ayo

Holy shit, it is. lol

The Maestro

And just like that, we have a fitting ending to a Browns game.

Horatio Cornblower

Orlovsky Approved!

Mr. Ayo

Safety Dance!

Brocky

lol that kick knocked my uncle out of the fantasy playoffs.

he was league champ last year

SonOfSpam

Tucker, the Man and His Car is a movie that no one cares about but still a nice kick.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I liked that movie very much.

SonOfSpam

(never saw it but I will not make fun of it since you liked it)

Doktor Zymm

I think I speak for all of us when I say, Duuuuuuuuuude

hippofant

BOOO THAT WAS A BORING ENDING

hippofant

BLOCK IT AND THEN RETURN IT BUT ACCIDENTALLY FUMBLE IT OUT THE BACK OF THE END ZONE OR SOMETHING

Viva La Tabula Raza
Redshirt

If Cleveland runs the one back…

Recovery Whiskey

Didn’t even bother with icing the kicker

Doktor Zymm

Statistically it makes no difference, but I guess no reason not to if you don’t need the timeout

Recovery Whiskey

Damn millennials and their actual data

Horatio Cornblower

It’s gotten to the point that I think the kicker might be more inclined to shank it if he’s surprised that there’s no time-out on the first attempt.
