Your “Oh So Hot!” Saturday NFL Football Doubleheader Open Thread

It’s beginning to look a lot like Saturday games will be mostly the norm for a while. It is that time of the year.

TO THE GAMES!

Bills/Broncos:

-Drew Lock has a feisty/league-leading ADOT of 10.07 which is a little surprising. I guess his 4 TD throws last week were a bit surprising as well. Thing is, they all came from a clean pocket-when he’s under pressure his qb rating is a league-worst 25.

-The Long Game Needs Work-Josh Allen’s ADOT is an above average 8.81 but last week in the win over the Steelers he was 0-6 with 1 INT on throws over 20 yards.

-Both Denver rb’s Gordon and Lindsay are listed as questionable but expected to play.

-What to make of this? The Bills have the 32nd ranked rush D but they’ve kiboshed Ekeler (44 yds), Mostert (42) and Conner (18) since coming off their bye week. Looks like things are turning around just at the right time.

-Overlooked? Tim Patrick has averaged 14.6 fantasy points since week 9 with Lock under center. He should be okay today as it’s likely Jeudy that gets Bills airtight cb White.

Panthers/Packers:

-An interesting battle to watch should be de Burns vs David Bakhtiari-the former plays at both ends of the line so they should duke it out on about 50% of Rodgers’ drop backs.

-Under Fire: Carolina is missing five guys from the secondary that have started this year and they gave up 4 TD passes last week. Davante shall feast!

-Don’t underestimate Teddy B though-he had a 30+ fantasy game on the road vs the Chiefs. He’ll also benefit by getting D.J. Moore back. Curiously, starting at about halfway through the season Jaire Alexander started lining up exclusively on the left side so no one wr is going to be taken out of the game today as they’ll be moved around.

-Good For Me: (and you if you grabbed him) Te Rob Tonyan has saved some fantasy teams from the scrap heap by scoring a TD in each of the last four weeks. He’s bolstered a lousy position in fantasy (really, there’s no one outside Kelce and Waller that’s doing anything) with his recent shenanigans.

Since I do not get the NFL Network and I certainly won’t be lifting a finger to look for a stream, I’ll have to follow along via ESPN’s gamecast.

clint greasewood

yahoo app works for me

Doktor Zymm

Aw man, I was expecting this to be a lopsided game, which is why I didn’t bother rushing home, but this is pretty silly

King Hippo

I have since flipped to Johnny Reb/LSU (many points, played in monsoon conditions) and Football Manager.

rockingdog

Diggs with the rockin catch

that was ROCKING!!!!

Gumbygirl

This game is making me think putting up the tree would be soooo much more fun!

Al Michaels is COVID grounded. In other terrible news, Cris Collinsworth is healthy.

Aw, Notre Dame is being blown out. Not that.

Where’s the sarcasm tag?

Game Time Decision

Another Allendown

Brocky

another fantasy playoffdown!

my opponent has rodgers, who’s gonna have the Panthers defense motioning devonte adams to the endzone 19 times like an overenthusiastic third base coach

clint greasewood

I take it the recruiting checks got lost in the mail.

Game Time Decision

This half-time show makes me wish for Terry Bradshaw and crew. Woof

Mr. Ayo

That’s a ROCKING take!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

We can all agree it’s time for Peyton Manning to go away and never come back, right?

blaxabbath

TV Execs: “You see, Peyton, people are sick of you and that’s killing your value. So we’re going to have to cut your rate in half.”

Peyton Manning: “Ok.”

TV Execs: “Great! Now we can put you on the screen twice as much for the exact same price!”

Game Time Decision

He won’t come with me to Narnia.
-Eli, between sobs

Brocky

bruh his nephew starts college next year.

he’s gonna be annoying than a viagra induced hardon after six hours

blaxabbath

ND does not seem to be as good as Clemson.

King Hippo

Lookit yeeewwww, Fant!

Mr. Ayo

Backup kicker, WHOOSH!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I thought ADOT required an antifungal cream

clint greasewood

Jake Kumerow fantasy waiver pickup

ArmedandHammered

Holy shit, what a throw.

ArmedandHammered

Shit, 1st and goal and almost out of field goal range.

Mr. Ayo

1st and Goal from the 35?

NFL BLITZ!

King Hippo

1st and goal from the 30. What’s that call for, WCS??

Mr. Ayo

First there was Nurses, now FX is coming out with A Teacher.

Is there a cocaine shortage in the TV industry?

King Hippo

Brick is bogarting it all.

clint greasewood

Big Brain conspiracy is that Tennessee is laying down to Texas A&M to ensure the SEC gets two teams in the playoffs.

King Hippo

That…isn’t quite consistent with UT’s overall 2020 performance. I don’t think TAMU even covered the spread today.

blaxabbath

Oh – we got NFL today?

I’ll get to that momentarily.

Horatio Cornblower

I love watching downhill skiing, mostly because I’m too much of a kultz/coward to do it.

“Hey, let’s pump a hill full of snow full of chemicals to make it rock hard and icy, then send people down on it while wearing high-performance skis that have been waxed to a slippery mess!”

Me, on my couch with my feet up and beer in hand: “Yes, let’s do that.”

King Hippo

I mean, it just seems like a great way to get crippled.

Horatio Cornblower

They just talked about a girl coming off her 6th surgery…just to her right knee.

Ma’am, take a hint.

King Hippo

/says the Hippo who gave hisself a concussion coming back from the middle of the night pee (walked into doorjamb at speed)

King Hippo

Has ABC/ESPN already started making apologies for the Irish, starting the narrative how they are “clearly” still deserving of playoff FITBAW?

Horatio Cornblower

I wasn’t watching. Did the Irish do what they usually do against superior forces, (Anyone from the SEC, a healthy Clemson, Cromwell), and fold up like a screen door in a hurricane?

King Hippo

24-3 at the half. Also not watching, but eyeballing the score page.

blaxabbath

Man — I’m watching the Season 4 finale of The Wire.

This show is so depressing. No wonder JJ Fozz is JJ Fozz.

Horatio Cornblower

Is that the one with the public schools?

Because, yeah, that one was a struggle.

King Hippo

#5 ain’t much gentler. Just less coherent.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s, I think, the one were they focused on failing newspapers. I liked that storyline because I grew up in a house full of journalists, but I think I’m the only one who did.

King Hippo

Yeah, though they went back to the other storylines. IIRC, it’s been awhile.

King Hippo

Query – should Son de Clem end up winning by like 40-50 (quite possible), do they set it up for #3 TAMU and #4 tOSU, and leave ND out?

rockingdog

THATS ROCKING!!!!!

King Hippo

What a Melvin!

Gumbygirl

Woohoo Donks!

Josh running fast than a Beef-on-Weck running through my ass.

King Hippo

Only chance I’ll get to watch Donks in full, and I have to listen to Mark Schlereth suck off Brokeback for 3.5 hrs.

King Hippo

BULLSHIT SPOT

King Hippo

Was still right not to make a Lovie challenge.

clint greasewood

Josh Allen is getting the Brady treatment now and I love it.

King Hippo

It’s funny – there are TONS of NC State folk who support the Bills. Wake County, NC is like a far-flung exurb of WNY.

clint greasewood

Its one of the Buffalo outpost along with Tampa FL, Los Angeles CA, Atlanta GA,

King Hippo

Would seem that having Prison Girlfriend in the lineup makes a teensy bit of difference for Son de Clem.

Gumbygirl

Goddammit, when is someone coming to put up this fucking Christmas tree for me?

King Hippo

Where is Gumby, damn it??

Gumbygirl

Lazy ass planted on the couch. I am not feeling the Christmas spirit, must smoke some weed!

Weed only makes me lazier.

Gumbygirl

This hybrid strain I have (called J1 for some reason) gives me a weird burst of energy.

Horatio Cornblower

That’s the cocaine it’s laced with.

rockingdog

I wanna see some more Melvin Gordon screens

come on Horseas

King Hippo

/refuses to Google that

King Hippo

/screams into void

rockingdog

found a funny:

what if when we stretch our pets are all, “oh big stretch!”

King Hippo

Godfuckingdamnit. STAY ONSIDE.

rockingdog

I like these throwback unis for da broncos

King Hippo

Dunno if officially throwback (except for helmets), but I like the coloUr rush mango too.

King Hippo

Don’t do that again, Horse Cock Lock!

/just remembered there is some leftover Tussionex in the kitchen

Gumbygirl

Whar the fuck is Michael Irvin wearing? He’s back on the crackwagon!

King Hippo

One can nae get back on what one was nae EVAR off.

/also DONKS WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s currently 70 degrees with crystal clear blue skies on the LA harbor. It’s also quieter than a nun’s Tinder account.

This is why I moved back to Pedro.

I can tell how much more relaxed and happy you are through my phone!

yeah right

I love this damn town.

Also when we recover from the COVID nightmare I’m totally hosting a DFO SoCal gathering here.

The smells coming out of my kitchen right now are intoxicating.
