Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

On the surface this one doesn’t seem very compelling but there’s still the fantasy angle, right? [eyes McLaurin and Gibson nervously]

Fallout:

-Is it moi or is there a downright dearth of footballing news this fair Monday? Well, we can always do injuries.

-Yeah, a couple of bread and butter backs (refuse to use bell cow) went down yesterday and they’re not getting up soon. McCafferty looks like he’s toast for the year so Chuba is back in play.

-Same with Cook, so if you hung on to Mattison you’re a smarty pants. He’s put up some fine numbers and while everyone else deals with wear and tear he’s fresh as a daisy and we know Zimmer is just doing to ride him until the wheels fall off.

-Poor Jack Conklin-he just got off IR and maybe played two(?) series before his knee went all Fatty Arbuckle.

-Mike McCarthy got himself the Covid and won’t be around for the Thursday Nighter. As per the usual with these things, fans of the team should be holding their breath, hoping that a cluster of cases hasn’t worked its way to the team.

-Kingsbury has been badgered about the Okie Football job and has denied interest. I don’t know what the connection is there. Are reporters just being lazy? The Cards look great so all anyone is going to get is an emphatic denial by Kliff.

To The Game!

Seahawks/TEAM:

-Seattle is looking like a bad team right now. Pete wants to run but they’ve now gone 4 straight without hitting 100 yards.

-Ok, maybe Wilson can turn the team’s fortunes around by throwing to the very talented Lockett and Metcalf. Problem is, he’s throwing at a 51% completion rate since his return.

-Curtis Samuels and Logan Thomas are back! And they’re on pitch counts!

-Due to some tiebreaker wizardry, if TEAM wins this one they vault from 13th in the playoff derby all the way to 7th.

-Washington’s D is finally coming around to being the unit that many thought they would be. Early in the season they gave up 30+ in four of their first five but lately they’ve surrendered just 24, 17, 19 and 21.

Make the best of it.

My fantasy opponent needed sixteen points out of Metcalf. He got zero.

Mr. Ayo

I have Lockett, needed 2.5 points, and was absolutely certain that was going to be my fate.

I don’t watch Sports Center much anymore, but I do remember liking Scott Van Pelt. Is current late night show, however, is one of the reasons I don’t watch Sports Center anymore. It’s just terrible.

Anyway, fuck ESPN.

2Pack

Yeah I just watched him ask the dude a question that he’d just remarked on 30 seconds prior. If he could pay attention that would be great.

TheRevanchist

I am 80% on board. Mina Kimes and The V Foundation work are the only things that keep me from just switching to a lesser sports news source. Espy’s are a joke of an awards show.

Today wasn’t great. Tomorrow isn’t looking good either. I think I’m going to eat some gingerbread with whipped cream and read in bed. Goodnight, sweet princes and princesses!

Have a better day tomorrow, Gumbygirl.

You’re my favoUrite; don’t tell the others.

I missed most of this game, but the last few minutes seemed quite adventurous. I give this game a 4 out of 5.

Gumbygirl

Well, what a Derpy that was! I need a mint julep.

Well this game ended with a loud and wet fart.

Horatio Cornblower

The refs need to swallow that flag. Had nothing to do with the recovery and just ruins a fun moment in an otherwise utterly forgettable game.

Mr. Ayo

What a stupid rule

ballsofsteelandfury

Extremely stupid

Sharkbait

Oh fuck out of here with the illegal formation

ballsofsteelandfury

Brian Kelly texts Notre Dame players he is leaving for LSU (msn.com)

I would pay real money to be in that room tomorrow at 7.

Sharkbait

So can they snipe him mid season? Or is JV footy over?

/Does not pay attention to JV footy

Horatio Cornblower

Wow, now Notre Dame has no chance of winning their New Year’s bowl that they don’t deserve to go to.

Just like every other year.
