“LET THE BELLS RING, LET THE BANNERS FLY!” It’s Your Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Sorry Ravens rb Gub Dedwards, this does not apply to you. That’s shitty, what your ACL did to you earlier today.

So I hope you’ve got an extra special beverage and your very favourite snackie for the opener. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? We powered through with the help of the Euros, the Copas, the CONCACAFFEINATED and the Olympics among other thingies. But the time for speculating is done. (I’m kidding, we’re just getting started)

Thought I Had While Hiking-

Brady doesn’t seem completely unlikeable anymore. Whaa? I mean, I haven’t by any means done a 180 on the guy but now I don’t reflexively wretch when I see his visage. This gives you an idea of the extent of the pall that Belichick’s curmudgeonly arrogance casts over the Pats franchise. I don’t buy into any of that ‘Brady showed up Belichick’ nonsense. The former is just a damn good football player that has always put in the work and should be respected for that.

TO THE GAME!

Cowboys/Bucs:

-some prop bets that may interest you-

Zeke 53.5 rushing yds (meh)

Brady 306.5 passing (too high?)

A. Brown 4.5 catches (who knows who will have the hot hand?)

-Much has been made of the Bucs returning all starters but I think that injuries might take a toll this year. As for much being made on tudder side, far too many folks think that DAK! and the gang are going to pick up exactly where they left off before he went down. I say ‘Nope’. They’re going to be good, sure, but I think it’ll be a while before they hit their stride. If they fix the D, they’ll crush the latter half of the sked.

-Speaking of that D, all eyez are on one Anthony Brown at left cb. He’ll be picked on by opponents until he wracks up some int’s/collapses under the pressure.

-This is where Brady is going to go methinks. He has that habit of probing weak spots early on and then seems to go away from that player but then comes right back at him over the course of two, three or four consecutive sets of downs.

-Are you picking the Bucs for your Survivor Pool?

Well, that’s it. Those folks that have been on the sidelines, “WELCOME BACK, WE MISSED YOU!” To others that have thought about dick jokery, (joke dickery?) climb on board, it’s gonna be a great ride.

Why did New England get rid of this guy?

Senor Weaselo

Update: Except for the part I nearly smoked an entire apartment out, the steak is quite good and furthermore has a very nice kick. I call this a win.

Steak too healthy for opening night needs more cheese

So Jones III drops an Interception in the end zone denying me points in fantasy. Then Jones II fumbles leads to me losing points.

SonOfSpam

You probably shouldn’t be keeping up with the Joneses.

I think Collinsworth just taught us something about Bruce Arians, but damned if I have any idea what it was.

Wasn’t Arians the guy that used to wear a beret?

Well, the good news about living in Grandpa Weaselo’s apartment is I get to try and cook. The better news is he apparently can’t have beef so I can season my steaks the way I want and not have to worry about killing an octogenarian Romanian man.

Welcome to Senor Weaselo’s Apartment of Pain, I guess?
