Your Second Round of NFL Games Open Thread

One blowout, one sorta interesting tilt and one helluva slugfest (though it could go blowout as well). Seems like a typical 4 O’ Clocker in there’s not much choice.

TO THE GAMES!

Jets/Rams:

Who are you taking-Aaron Donald’s league-dominating 75 pressures or the Jets 31st ranked O-line? Rb Akers has a stranglehold on ‘lead dog’ status in the Rams backfield as they (and you) play the important games. He’s had some nice production with 50 carries over the last 2 games. If you’re looking to stream a tight end (and the majority of you probably are) you could do worse than Higbee or Everett given that this New York squadoo can’t defend the position at all and has given up more TD’s to that spot than anyone else.

Eagles/Cards:

Hurts had 14 designed runs and 4 scrambles for 106 yards last week in their upset win over the Saints and you can expect more of the same as Philly heads down the stretch. Must be nice having this sort of wild card that teams, even though they now have a bit of game film, will still likely have trouble defending his tendencies. On t’udder side expect Hopkins to get double-digit targets as the Cards exploit a very weak Eagles coverage unit. Kyler has worried fantasy owners and fans alike by running only 5 times in each of weeks 11-13 but bounced back with 13 gallops last week.

Chiefs/Saints:

This is one for all the eyeballs. Too bad Mikey Thomas has been put on the shelf like an elf-Brees will likely need all the horses he can get his hands on if he’s to keep up with K.C. No matter what Kamara’s pass-catching prop is, take that over. That Mahomes kid just keeps on doing things-he has the 2nd-most 20+ yard completions, he has the highest qb rating under pressure and takes sacks at one of the lowest rates in the league. For a dude that goes for the big play as often as he does, he sure protects the ball well, don’t he? It may not be wise to start CE-H though-in his last 4 of 5 he’s averaged 3.5 ypc or less. I haven’t seen the phrase ‘hit the rookie wall’ yet so I’m calling dibs.

Hammer that keyboard like the god/goddesses you are.

This is all the logo and uniforms fault!

Recovery Whiskey

Makes up for Seattle bottling it against the Giants

Don T

My guess is Gase finally found a dependable supplier of vampire blood.

Gatoraids

Or Kroenke placing bets on side to cover the stadium

Recovery Whiskey

I think they have plenty of lucre from Arsenal FC for that

Col. Duke LaCross

Fuck you Rammmmmm It!

/out of DFO suicide

Gatoraids

tricky cuz Jets haven’t even practiced Victory formation all year

Doktor Zymm

It can’t be that much different from doing it without possession, right?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Please please please let this loss to the Jets cost the Rams a playoff spot. Please.

Look at MRSA Dreamboat w/o special lighting and makeup! Just looks like a random suburban Dad.

Gatoraids

He’s practically glowing from the Patriots being out of the playoffs

Doktor Zymm

Uh we did plays, and it was great, and a great win, we team, won

Gatoraids

Please don’t miss out on my TB13 drink silo for the holidays

A perfume commercial during an NFL game? What the fuck?

Doktor Zymm

Lattimore while injured is doing planks and shit that put non-injured me to shame

BAHAHAHAHA JETS HETS JETS

JESTS may just have iced

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Holy shit. Jets are gonna win this game!

[thinks back two weeks]

Okay, let’s not be hasty.

Gatoraids

macho grande

King Hippo

OH MY CATS TEH JEST ACTUALLY DID IT.

King Hippo

Remember – Iggles can’t kick a FG because they have no holder. They also maybe can’t punt!

Doktor Zymm

Good! I love it when teams don’t back up unique skills 😀

King Hippo

You’d think, especially after teams quit carrying a 3rd QB, that there would be a “jack of all trades” reserve specialist.

Doktor Zymm

Yeah, semi-competent long snappers/holder/maybe can kinda kick and may not block effectively but will totally try, kind of guy

Don T

Woo hoo! Cmon Iggles

King Hippo

would a 2nd Most Glorious Draw suffice? I am too pilled to do the maths.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Woo hoo! Come on, Wiggles!” – Elisha, looking at the after school TV listings

King Hippo

Two of the Good Ones needs to have playoff analyst duties. He fucking rules.

King Hippo

I’m willing to take out the “futures/if continues on this trajectory” caveat. Patrick Mahomes is the best quartered back Hippo has ever seen.

Doktor Zymm

Is he Athletic? Gritty? Poised? Well-spoken? YES!

Don T

You know… PHI going on a winning streak could mean… Team – Iggles Week 17 flex. Rootin’ for this; don’t want no SNF Week 17 blackout.

King Hippo

oh yeah, HATE that “no game” shit. Even if get trips each Wild Card weekend day.

Doktor Zymm

This is a STRONG possible.

Arizona trickery

Oh hey, it’s the alternate timeline where Al Bundy was sorta successful!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

His offense scored FOUR TOUCHDOWNS IN ONE GAME!

Recovery Whiskey

From Ed O’Neill’s wiki bio: He later transfered to Worthington High School, winning a state championship and earning the name Ed O’Winner.

King Hippo

of course, Prison Girlfriend knows his only plausible alternative…is Northern Florida

Gatoraids

They’re all out blitzing that first pick

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Okay it would be kind of cool if the Jets got the tie and went 0-15-1 and preserved their draft pick while avoiding the imperfect season.

King Hippo

I am actively rooting for this outcome.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am too, now.

King Hippo

Is nice to have a goal, yeah?

King Hippo

This window done gone plaid, ain’t it?

Doktor Zymm

I watch Jalen Hurts doing well, and I just hope he’s investing well, because nothing good is in the cards for anyone in the NFC East

King Hippo

HOLY SHIT HE COMPLETED THAT?????

Doktor Zymm

Dude!

King Hippo

I mean, I can’t believe I really saw that fucking thing.

Doktor Zymm

I only caught it proper on replay

King Hippo

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! gonna go FG, FG and we will get Extra Time and perhaps Most Glorious Draw

Gatoraids

The Spruce Goose was a more successful plane than the Jets this year

BLEERGH melts steel beams better than jet fuel ppl forget that

Bobby Trees is single-handedly keeping Baby Buster afloat.

We recently fired up a new piece of software on campus that apparently can’t handle a student with the last name of “Null”. This is software that has been used by campuses nationwide for years now, and somehow we’re the first ones to run into this problem…

Doktor Zymm

I love this. It is awesome and hilarious and seems like it should be fixed with quotation marks, but it’s even better if it isn’t

Petronel

My headcanon for young Null is that s/he has been going through life wrecking databases left and right, pointing out easily-fixable input issues that should have been dealt with long before release.

Doktor Zymm

I hope Null’s middle name is ‘ “

Sharting is technically a thing, yes.

Rams are now within six.

Rams-Jets games is a full quarter ahead of Chiefs-Saints.

TWO SAFETY DANCES IN THE SAME DAY

My all-time favorite joke from Futurama.

Two safeties in the same day? A safety of safeties!

yeah right

I know it’s early and I run the risk of jinxing this thing but somebody here (me) had a premonition and dropped 10 bucks on the Jets and the money line at +950.

I’ll be in the back waiting for the anvil to drop on my head.

THESE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS, I CALL THEM A BAKERS DOZEN CUZ THEY’RE TWELVE AND ONE.

Wow, that was some sad, pathetic, Grumblelord. I don’t know, of the two I kinda wish it was Brady who was doing the worst

Seriously though, those questions were bullshit. What do you attribute your shitty run defense to? We couldn’t stop the run.

Fuck. I dislike Grumblelord but fuck those questions.

Gatoraids

It was Don Shula’s kids in the press pool trying to break him.

Recovery Whiskey

Happy Patriots Schadenfreude Day everyone. Is that still a thing?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It will ALWAYS be a thing.

Maestro, Viva, Sharky have not felt this way since Steve Grogan!

We do not speak of the Before Times. It is forbidden.

Absolutely. But, for me, not today. Fins are legit.

Pats fans are all holding out hope that Rudy will help them just as soon as his NEW lawsuit destroys the nation.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I haven’t seen so many official-looking people running towards Andy Reid since…

[damnit, moment has passed and I couldn’t think of anything]

blaxabbath

He unwittingly stood next to that old abandoned well?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I was thinking some kind of slaugherhouse incident but drew a blank.

Fronkenshteen

…local police thought he was a hobo who had just murdered Jovan Belcher?

King Hippo

It’s fun to imagine, in 15-20 years when all our jokes just kind of trail off in the middle.

I’ll be dead long before then.

There was a Code Red at the all you can eat buffet?

I like my whisky the way I like my attorneys; stiff, aged, and not from a teevee commercial.

litre_cola

and from [DFO]?

blaxabbath

I’d rather not get the chair but, hey, let’s see what kinds of deals are out there!

Doktor Zymm

I’ve never met an attorney that’s Scottish and smells like a barnyard, but if I do I will employ such an attorney!

That “12 years old and mixed up with coke” doesn’t hold up very well these days.

Frank Gore must have an addiction or just really have nothing better to do on Sundays.
