Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Holy Jeebus! Did anyone else shovel snow to the point where they thought they were going to throw up? Just me? Between that and the lake that we’re on making loud and threatening cracking noises, I’ve just about had enough of winter and we’re just getting started. TL:DR? Woe is me.

Newsy Notes:

-If you’re a Niners rb you must be thinking that an invisible bullseye is sewn into your jersey. Trenton Cannon is the latest to be lost-this one’s a concussion.

-As a writer on SBNation’s Vikes site put it-“FIRE EVERYONE!” Zimmer didn’t exactly make any new friends by losing to a Swift-less Lions club. I felt that Detroit wasn’t going to let at least one get away this year. As Chris Liss said a week or so ago, “they’re the most dangerous winless team in the league”.

-Minshew Mania saddles up for another go-around! Thing is, Philly’s got a bye next week and Hurts is scheduled to be ready to go in two weeks. Still, he did what a backup is supposed to do-play as much mistake-free ball as possible so the rest of the team can get the W.

-Shall we call it a Fromm-palooza? A Jake-off? It looks like a wet behind the ears qb will get his first start for the Giants next week. If my dicey memory serves, he was out of Georgia and highly-regarded at one point. And then his senior season happened and he fell to the 5th round. New York poached him from the Bills practice squad instead of giving their own practice squadder a shot. Good luck behind that o-line kid, and I hope you’ve got wheels because you’ll need them.

-Another Giants Tidbit: They’ve been outscored 52-0 in the last two minutes of the first half.

To The Game!

Pats/Bills:

-Much like where I’m at, there is a wind advisory (gusts up to 55mph!) for Buffalo and environs that ends at 10pm tonight. There’s a 40% chance of precipitation as well.

-If anyone in the league has an arm to throw in these conditions it’s Allen and he will give it a try I’m sure. I’m also sure that the Pats will increase upon their 19 interception total.

-Mayhaps he should play it safe like Macaroon Jones. During the current winning streak he has a 9-2 TD/INT number.

-I don’t despise the Pats nearly as much as I have in recent years but I would like to see a Bills win. Why? Because then there would be a massive clusterfuck of 7(!) teams with 4 or 5 losses in the AFC. GO CHAOS!
