Your Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Whelp, Morbid Curiosity, you win this round. I can’t ignore this game simply because the usual slobknockering of the established stars of the league will be noticeably absent. We’re entering unexplored waters here folks.

Newsy Notes:

-Truthfully, I wish that this tilt was Bucs/Pats so that we could finally be fucking Done With It! Give the sports media a Big Narrative that a 5 year-old could understand and of course it’ll be done to death.

-Welcome Back Josh Gordon! This is a story about persistence and drugs, more drugs and a damning indictment of the existing Chiefs wr’s. Well, Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson, either one of you could have been the 4th(?) fiddle on a potent offense and you weren’t up to the task. Gotta think they’ll be flushed at the end of the year.

-The Giants Golladay has brought his injury bug-ness to his new team as both Shepard and Slayton are expected to miss time. LamerKenny is banged up a bit as well. I look forward to OC Garrett not having a clue as to how to use Kadarius Toney. I’m thinking maybe a slow-developing end-around? Perhaps a flea-flicker that ends up being an armpunt? The possibilities are endless.

To The Game!

Jags/Bengalis:

-Did you hear the False Narrative about this being a revenge game for Burrow, in that he had to transfer from OSU because Meyer didn’t go with him as the starting qb? Fack off, media.

-It says quite a bit about both teams that the home squadoo is one of the favorites in Survivor. “Not something I’d ever considered or expected”, a certain Redshirt was overheard saying to no one in particulate.

-What to make of the Jags trading ninth overall pick CJ Henderson for blocking tight end Dan Arnold? Sure, the former has struggled and perhaps needed to start over somewhere else but the biggest beneficiary of this swap has got to be Ja’Marr Chase.

Do your thingy.
