Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Not much going on today that I noticed but as always, we’ll do something.

Newsy Notes:

-The Old, Gray Mare, err, running back Adrian Peterson managed to latch onto the teat of the Seahawks. He’s a mere 367 yards away from supplanting Barry Sanders-a guy that knew when to quit-for 4th all-time in rushing. And he’s going to get there! Unless Seattle discovers what the Lions and Titans discovered-there’s no tread left on those tires.

-I Knew It But Ignored It: Saquon has yet to run for 60+ yards in a game this year.

-The NFL is going to be doing a “Responsible Gambling” PSA during games going forward! In related news, they’ve put a cap of six ads for gambling sites for any game. [meanwhile, Goodell blows his nose with a Franklin]

-More Related News: Nevada gambling houses surpassed the “billion dollars bet” mark in October for the first time ever. Woo!

-Pour one out for Bama: Their streak of being the favored team just ended at 92 straight. They are a 6 1/2 point dog to the Dawgs.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Saints:

-Coach McCarthy is a Covid no-show tonight so the mighty Dan Quinn, the DC, steps in.

-You know, to me it’s been a bit of a mystery as to why this supremely talented Dallas team just can’t seem to get its shit together. And then it all became clear. BEN FUCKING MCADOO (ex-Giants fuckup) IS ON THE COACHING STAFF! His sorta title is “Consultant to the Coaches”. What? Who the hell would want to know how to lose a locker room in less than a year? Sorry, Horatio-that stink doesn’t come out easily.

-Kudos to Zeke for trying to work through a nagging knee injury but he’s lacking that extra Oomph! that has put defenders on their backs in the past.

-Kamara is out and so are starting tackles Armstead and Ramczyk. In? Only the likes of Lamb, Amari Cooper and The Marcus Lawrence.

-These squadoos are a combined 1-7 over the last four weeks. I’m leaning towards the Cowboys winning but perhaps the Saints can get back to .500 behind a throaty crowd in the dome. They still play in a dome, right?

Have at it.

Game Time Decision

Watched 30 seconds of the game just before half time and then watched Ted Lasso with youngest. I’m sure that I made a good call and didn’t miss anything

Dammit, Kings are short-handed because of a hooking minor.

Damnit, we had Emergency Backup Goalies on the bench two nights in a row, but neither made it into the game.

Fun Fact: “Emergency Backup Goalie” was the original proposed name for RU-486.

Justice Kavanaugh just gave you the death penalty for that joke.

Susan Collins is very concerned about it, though. I mean, she won’t do fuck-all about it, but her brow will be very furrowed when you’re executed.

Well, at least Dallas has established that they can beat a team on the road when that team is missing its best RB and is led by a QB who probably shouldn’t be anything other than a 3rd-stringer, so they’ve got that going for them.

LOL
How does Taysom Hill have 4 INT and also 24 pts as QB in ff?

Horatio Cornblower

Dallas should go 4-1 over their next 5 games, meaning that they’re somehow going to find a way to go 2-3.

Horatio Cornblower

If Kellen Moore gets a head coaching job before Eric Bienemy I’m going to burn a cross in front of NFL headquarters.

Dallas’s commitment to shitty tackling keeps things interesting.
