Your “Time (And The Games) March On” Sunday Afternoon NFL Open Thread

I’m all for a slate that is 50% interesting. Meh, they’re all fine and dandy when one is playing the fantasy ball, really. Let’s see what’s on tap…

To The Games!

Cards/Rams:

Rarely has a trade met expectations the way that “Stafford to the Rams” has. So far. McVay, finally having a qb that can make every throw (and is tickled pink to be on a team that doesn’t have 70 years-and-still-going Losing Culture) has opened up the playbook and opposing teams have been caught flat-footed. Fatt has responded with a 9TD, 1INT, 942 yards stat line. Someone has to get the L tonight and the numbers say Arizonny-McVay is 8-0 against them.

Seahawks/Niners:

Both these secondaries suck balls so expect to see them flying. Kittle has had a nice run but he seems to be the guy that is going to have nagging injuries the rest of his career. Maybe it’s just me. As for Seattle, The Legion of Boom is long gone and teams can run/pass on them with impunity these days.

Ravens/Broncos:

A sticky D, a weak sked and surprisingly ubercompetent play from Teddy B have Denver sitting pretty at 3-0. Now comes the hard part. That run D that limits teams to 3.1 per go now has to deal with a ‘More hard ground game that cruises to the tune of 4.9 per.

Steelers/Packers:

Expect rook rb Najee Harris to fade at some point if he’s going to be utilized like this for any lengthy period of time. He’s played 96% of available snaps so far. Congrats to those of you that passed on an rb and grabbed Davante Adams in fantasy-especially in PPR. Over the last two weeks he’s given you 20 grabs and 253 yards. Here’s a stat for you-in Pitt’s last 11 games they’ve been outscored 64-6 in the 1st quarter. That lone 6 points? It was a interception run in by Joe Haden. Gah!

Enjoy what’s on offer.
