Your Early Morning London Calling NFL Football Open Thread

Well here we are again. The Shield has dropped a not-enticing matchup in our laps again. But let’s try to be a Lasso about it, huh? Grab a coffee and let’s go through this.

To The Game!

Fins/Jags:

-I’m not sure who is the home team but this is somewhat familiar territory for Jacksonville so that’s my guess.

-If there are any orchards in your area you could do some apple picking-Courtlands, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, Ambrosia and many other varieties are ripe right now!

-The Jags have yet to kick a field goal after five games, the only team in the Super Bowl era to have sunk so low. Coach Meyer’s comment was, “Wow, we haven’t kicked a field goal? Huh, that’s something”.

-Corn mazes are fun. Bring the whole family along and regale them with a recounting of “Children of the Corn” by Stephen King and then set them free. Hire some toothless country folk to hang out nearby in order to get the full effect.

-The Fins starting corners are out but Tua’s back baby and he’s gonna shine. He’ll have to do it without wr’s Williams, Parker and Fuller but that kid loves a challenge.

-“The fall colors are absolutely gorgeous” is a thing that is said that often gets on the nerves of one half of a domestic pairing. But you’re bigger than that-hop into your hybrid vehicle and putter on over to a ski hill or a mountain or, if you’re feeling murderous, an outcrop with a steep descent. They won’t find the body for days!

-There’s some talk that Fins coach Flores is losing the room. Numerous injuries aside, where is that 10 win team from last year that was in ascending mode?

Have at it.
