Your Thursday Night Football Open Thread

I apologize for the tardiness of this post but a tortuous hiking trail waits for No Man! And I am No Man! hmm that sounded better in my head I should grab one of them thar GoPros and show you what I do. But then I thought, ‘meh, the vast majority of commenters already have vids of sweaty old men grunting and breathing hard’.

-Our Sunday morning tilt say it with me Hippo, Which Is Completely Mandatory will not be featuring both Cal Ridley and Russell Gage. Fantasy owners everywhere yell, “throw it to Pitts (the Younger) please”. Meanwhile, Corduroy Patterson laughs in vulture.

-Baker ‘not TD maker’ Mayfield has a torn labrum and Browns fans nod their head, thinking that’s the reason he’s been tending to suck this year. Oh, but it’s his non-throwing shoulder though. Fans will have to go back to the drawing board.

-Do I have to mention the NBA? Fine. Some retired fellas tried to gouge the “Health Fund” with false receipts and whatever. I laughed reading the espn article because after naming the major characters involved there was this sentence. “Among those who were charged (names some random ex-players) were the only ones that averaged double figures in their career.” So congrats, dude that only averaged 9.4 points per game in your career, you didn’t get outed in an article regarding the fraud you committed.

To The Game!

Rams/Seahawks:

-Russ Wilson is 9-1 on Thursday nights as opposed to Josh Gordon who is 420 on all days ending with “Y”.

-I’m liking the look of the Rams this year but Fatt’s stellar play (last week excluded) has obscured the fact that L.A.’s D has lost Brandon Staley, three starters and has played Brady, Kyler and Wilson in successive weeks.

-If Kupp gets cb Udo Amadi defending him in the slot it’s all over. And Cooper The Catcher is getting thrown at on 33% of his routes, while Udo has a PFF coverage rating of 38.6. Yes, it’s just a number but it’s a bad number.

-Speaking of wr’s, will we see a bomb to DeSean? His steadily increasing usage rate suggests that we will. His aDOT is whopping 19.9 yards.

-This Just In: Christopher Carson will not risk his neck tonight so start your Alex “Shoulda Been Tom” Collins.

Type away. You know you need to.
