Your Early Sunday Afternoon NFL Games Open Thread

Are you ready for some white-hot alpaca, um, football action?

To The Games!

TEAM/Bills:

As noted by revered commenter/shut-in Hippo last week, Josh Allen seems to have reverted back to some more ‘interesting’ habits. Remember that fella what flung the ball willy nilly all over the field? He’s back! His rate of uncatchable passes is at 25% after two weeks. There’s plenty of time to right those wrongs but I think, deep in his unvaccinated heart, this is the way he likes to play.

Bears/Browns:

Fields of Fire? (Big Country reference, Woo!) Not exactly last week-6-13, 60 yards and 1 Int. Still, he gives Chicago fans something that you can’t quantify (yet) and that is Hope.

Ravens/Lions:

Marquise Brown has been something of a disappointment given his 1st round pedigree but if there wasn’t the 2nd year breakout there could always be the 3rd year one, right? The O/U on this travesty is 49.5 and one would think that the Ravens do most of the heavy lifting to get both squads close.

Colts/Titans:

Wentz wandered on to the practice field Friday on his wonky ankles so the fun of a two qb shuttle system has been denied us. NO FUN, always and forever. I’ll be harping on Henry’s yards after contact numbers all year long I suppose. His total of 201 would lead the league still if they were the only ones counted.

Chargers/Chiefs:

Is this where CEH (and his owners, oof, that doesn’t sound right) gets off? LA has allowed the most yards to rb’s at 287 over two weeks. Chris Liss of Rotowire pointed out that he’ll never be the typical back in an Andy Reid O because Patty doesn’t dump off to rb’s when the play breaks down. How many times have we seen him scramble, look for Hill/Kelce or just take off himself?

Saints/Pats:

The N.E. D has impressed so far but they’ve done it vs undermanned o-lines and squonky qb’s. Winston was somewhat limited in what he could do last week by the game script so the jury is still out to whether he’s gonna set the world on fire or immolate himself.

Falcons/Giants:

Dimes is the 5th ranked fantasy qb and should dine on an ATL D that did nothing to fix their defensive woes. If Golladay finally feasts who will he yell at? The Giants o-line is ranked 31st in pass-blocking. The good news? The Falcons pass rush is ranked 32nd.

Bengals/Steelers:

The Ben is dealing with a pec owchie and is missing his fave catchman in Johnson. Could we see an ambush here? I sure do like the quadret(?) of Burrow, Mixon, Higgins and Chase and the firepower it brings but maybe it’s too early to ask for a road win vs a squadoo that has a history of turning your lights out.

Cards/Jags:

There was plenty of squawking about Laviska’s breakout year and his role as a Deebo type-a guy that could take a short pass at/behind the line of scrimmage and find yards. Whelp, he’s got 47 of those yards on 16(!) targets. I’m betting on a heart ailment derailing Meyers’ year. You?

Go ahead and do it. And then comment below.

The Cincinnati Bengals are legit pushing the Yinzers shit in, and in front of their home crowd.

Mother Puncher

Apparently TJ Watt was keeping that entire team together

This is a dream. No way this is happening.

Brocky

So here’s an easy joke:

What the fuck is happening in Jacksonville?

LemonJello

All the meth?

Gumbygirl

VD and diabeetus.

herodotus450

New coach and rookie QB aren’t enough to turn around the worst team in the league? Fire em both into the sun*.
*is what they might say in Jacksonville if a majority of the population there actually believed the sun is real.

I forgot how much fun it is to play on MS Paint

Gumbygirl

God looks like George Washington?

Gumbygirl

And Brocky looks like Mr. Bill!

ArmedandHammered

Oh NO!

Brocky

Holy shit, how did I never realize this comparison?

Brocky

If Always love any excuse to post this:

Gumbygirl

That was great!! Did you do that?Fucking Renaissance Man!

King Hippo

Hollywoo Brown has dropped THREE walk-in TDs. In a HALF.

Brocky

He is no longer allowed to call himself hollywood.

he’s not fit for bollywood.

he’s not fit for dollywood.

he’s fit for wherever they film “god’s not dead IV: the revenge”

ArmedandHammered

Where do they film porn? He keeps fucking his team, so that would be a better name.

Mother Puncher

Arizona State Brown

Culver City Brown

Fronkenshteen

God damn. Getting my shit pushed in AGAIN. Really thought I had a winner today. Piss.

Mother Puncher

Can I still consider myself woke and feminist if I find Kate McKinnon intolerable

Brocky

eh, she stays off social media, and isn’t huge politically.

Focus your hate to someone more deserving.

Like Ellen!

Gumbygirl

Ellen needs kicked in the dick.

King Hippo

GUS JOHNSON MAGICK!

Redshirt

I guess JaMarr Chase figured out what a football is.

King Hippo

He just wanted to be able to get his value down, so could draft himself in fantasy

King Hippo

not-Pitts, neither

Brocky

I love how my projected fantasy points go down a chunk every time murray doesn’t attempt a pass.

Like 10 yard run? -8 for brocky. that playcall means brocky lost a touchdown.

King Hippo

Rapey Jameis, Reckless but Effective

Redshirt

Steelers Twitter says that Big Ben cannot be stopped. Way to rub it in to the accusers.

King Hippo

Prison Girlfriend, getting his Gus Johnson moment

Fronkenshteen

O please o please o please let Williams be down by contact.

Brocky

anyone seen lowcommander lately? feel like I haven’t seen him in forever

Viva La Tabula Raza

I hope that they are disinfecting the ball after each time Beasley touches it.

Horatio Cornblower

Mac Jones is sucking out loud in Foxboro today.

I am enjoying this immensely.

King Hippo

for some reason, the fans seem reluctant to boo

Horatio Cornblower

I’m sure they showed Cam Newton the same patience and understanding.

WCS

WE AHHH CAHHHSED!! NO ONE SUFFAHS LIKE US!! NO ONE DENIES THIS!!

King Hippo

tough day for White Mac

Don T

Hope the NFL is ready for El Tractorcito 2: He Catches Now

Brocky

Hey what he does in his personal time ain’t none of our business!

King Hippo

NFL MVP, coming right up.

Fronkenshteen

His O/U was 12.5 yds receiving on FanDuel.

Gumbygirl

Lol, the Mr. Pitiful outro song for the Bears/ Brownies!

ArmedandHammered

I think I figured out the issue with having to login multiple times, the issue appeared for me after the change to the auto refresh. So I log in once and hit refresh and I do not have to login again.

Don T

Gronk trying to mooch off the US military is waaay 21st Century for my taste.

Horatio Cornblower

“I’m special” just opens soooooo many doors that should probably stay closed.

Brocky

So for the second week in a row, I decided to check my work emails during the game….

and I felt relived to see there were none.

is this being an adult? little stupid victories?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

No, being an adult is constant crushing defeats

2nd and inches is a GREAT time to throw deep so your oline can false start on 3rd and inches

Don T

Indiana-grad YD in TEN. Hear that, Brocky?

Brocky

Nah i’m watching the bears game.

if he’s an IU grad, he’s most likely doomed to be low key underrated his whole career, but with a tendency to disappear in big games

Horatio Cornblower

The Chiefs have had three turnovers today. If only Britt Reid had thought to turn over his keys before he got drunk and hit a parked car, critically injuring a 5-year-old, amirite?

King Hippo

Somebody brought TURNOVERS? – Andy R., Kansas City, MO

King Hippo

Does DonT even know what that guy is???

The Maestro

Dawson Knox sounds like a porn name.

Yes, both straight and gay.

Brocky

anything sounds like a porn name with enough imagination

Horatio Cornblower

Matt Gaetz.

Will someone tell Burrow to quit scrambling? I’m getting nervous over here.

Redshirt

We may be seeing the end of Big Ben.

The Maestro

I said the exact same thing when the Brexit results were released five years ago.

Gumbygirl

They should have cut him years ago with the rapey stuff. I hope he has a horrible year and retires.

God, can you imagine if CEH played for the Patriots? Bellichik would have murdered his family by now.

Don T

CEH fantasy owners:
Is cutting him enough? I say burn in effigy too.

King Hippo

NUKE HIM FROM ORBIT JUST TO MAKE SURE

Horatio Cornblower

Is there a better illustration of fantasy expectations vs. fantasy results than CEH? Everyone thought he was going to put pinball numbers with the Chefs, and he has sucked out loud.

King Hippo

Ron Rivera looks like he misses his cancer.

Brocky

BANNER!

Gumbygirl

Oh, that’s bad. I laffed and laffed!
