Let’s keep it moving, shall we?
To The Games!
Lions/Broncos:
Javonte! I’ll be happy that if Gordon does play-he seems to be trending that way-that he’ll be on a pitch count so my guy can duplicate near to what he did last week. Denver sits at 6-6 and has Cincy, Las Vegas, the Chargers and the Chiefs the rest of the way so a W is vital here and I’ve no doubt they’ll get it. Should watch their kneecaps though…
Giants/Chargers:
Oh boy. This has beatdown written all over it because, though they are inconsistent the Chargers do tend to beat up lesser teams. The statue behind center that goes by the name of Glennon gets the start today. Why do teams have backup qb’s that are nothing like the starter with respect to skillset? You’d think the Giants would have signed a more mobile fella so that they could accomplish some of the same things on O. Instead, this concrete-footed ungulate is going to watch his o-line collapse in slow motion and he’ll not be able to escape pressure.
Niners/Bengals:
This one’s a curious inter-conference affair that I don’t know what to make of. So, umm, weather? And why was Mixon semi-stymied by the Chargers laughable run D last week? Burrow has a great future if he gets rid of the ball when pressure comes. Too many times this year I’ve seen him take the sack instead of throwing the ball away.
Bills/Bucs:
Buffalo gets another spotlight dance and they’ll likely collapse once again. They don’t look remotely like the team that busted out of the gate in weeks 2-5. But looking back they beat a Fins team before the latter got its shit together, a reeling TEAM with no competent qb, the Texans and a Chiefs team that just hasn’t been that impressive this season. The Bills O is far too reliant on Allen because their run game is such a travesty and there’s no indication that anyone is doing anything to improve it.
As you were.

What is a catch?
We know you caught it, but it’s not technically an NFL catch.
— NFL Refs
THAT’S A CATCH!!!
Got to love a 4-0 football score.
I applaud the trailing teams in the late window for not totally sucking down the stretch
Buffalo is really making a game of it. Brady’s seeming insistence on forcing at least one pass to Gronk per possession is biting him in the ass this week.
YTaoyoGMouBcehnTgiamles!
Boredom all day til now!
#BUNGLES!!!
Goddammit
Okay, I kind of want one of those tiger striped velour hooded track suits those bengals fans are wearing
You have no choice now. Do it!
As long as I don’t have to go to Ohio to get one, I am in!
Zac Taylor: “TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!TIMEOUT!” (repeated for 15 seconds)
Referee: “Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want to call timeout?”
WKRP deciding they want us to pay just the faintest bit of attention.
Props to our Canadian friends for providing me with some interesting football to watch in contrast to these putrid NFL offerings.
This is the year of irrelevant offside kicks
Nbc, shut your whore mouths. 28 is nawt a cold weather game.
That’s practically Indian Summer in cheese-land!
Quite so. Especially with no wind.
Yeah that’s a good sportsin day.
As a guy in Finland said “I don’t have winter clothing for -3!”
I will walk everywhere (live urban) until it is – 20 C.
A few years ago I was at the annual ski jumps in Salisbury, CT. It was -7, without the wind, and my brother, father, and I stood outside and drank beer, as God intended. The foam was frozen, but the beer was drinkable as long as you worked fast.
A friend of ours asked one of the jumpers how they stayed warm at the top of the hill and the kid just looked at him and said “We don’t.”
I just went Nordic walking in -28 and it was fine as long as I kept my glove liners on while taking pictures with my phone
As a side note, I really enjoy living in a warm place where there are lots of people I can talk shit to about how they can’t deal with cold
Bengals are Jekyll and Hyde from quarter to quarter, nevermind game to game.
I’ve been a fan since ’92 and I’ve never seen a team like this.
That’s really the entire Division. Madness.
I am convinced the AFC North is secretly a Japanese game show
A combination of Jonathan Taylor having the week off, Dak! clearly being hurt and playing through it, and my opponent having George Kittle and, (of all things) Saquon Barkley, is going to result in my almost certainly losing in FF this week.
Despite all of those things, and my opponent, (the estimable Yeah Right), being projected to win by 19 points, Yahoo gives me a 17% chance to win. Ever the optimist, that Yahoo.
Maybe its a good thing McPherson missed that FG. That would make the score SF 20 – CIN 16 and possibly triggered some PTSD from those who watched Super Bowl XXIII.
My PTSD is triggered realizing this season’s Superb Owl number is double that.
CFL trying to recruit Reid with all these early turnovers.
I didn’t realize that the CFL uses a different rule on fumbles — you just have to be the last team to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds, not the last to possess it?
Look, 3 downs, rouges, pre snap forward motion, anything’s possible with their rules.
Facemasking is either 5 or 15 yards depending on whether you say you’re sorry.
Just kidding, everyone says sorry.
JaMarr Chase can only do impossible things easy. Only easy things are impossible.
Helluva catch
Jimmy G. brainfarted, thought he was the other Jimmy G. for a split second and attempted to dribble the ball. It did not go well.
Too bad it wasn’t AFL
And here I thought Neck was a Saturday thing.

Oh look there’s a new banner komment!
That’s good commentin’
Okay, I’m back from dinner. Did Burrow finally get killed off while I was away?
*checks fantasy lineup*
Basically, yes.
DONKS, WOO!!
FITBAW may be family, but some days it’s the racist uncle who ruins Thansgiving.
Josh Allen throwing a bone to his fantasy owners
I need a whole skeleton at this point because I started Zeke, Hunt and Mixon and so far against me Fournette is outscoring all of them
Quite the RB line-up. What do you call them, The Suffragettes?
Beasley dropped that ball like it was coated in luciferase.
RedZone, all the overturned TDs!
Why are we needed a Matrix IV again?

The purple powder is Rocking!!!
That would have been a much better movie
Is building a piñata around an injured ankle an approved medical treatment? If we hit Ekeler’s ankle again will candy come out?
Found a cool;
Here’s the huge and rapidly growing Southeast automotive manufacturing landscape following big EV announcements from Ford/SK, GM/LG, Toyota, and soon Rivian
I’m just worried that many of those jobs will go unfilled because the locals will fear that working at an electric car plant will cause them to become homosexuals.
I think some of those manufacturing jobs require you to wear a mask too, smh
Although I shouldn’t be too down, extremeist populism finds fertile soil in areas that are comparitavely economically disadvantaged.
That’s a good point; I shouldn’t complain about people being provided an opportunity to join the middle class no matter where they live.
It’s a legit struggle to listen to the rational brain
If I woke up from a coma today and watched this first half, I would’ve assumed four of the Bengals’ wins were COVID-related forfeits.
Uggh I am past the nap window!
I napped from 6p tp 10p yesterday. Did some billable work, then had hellscape nightmares from 5a-8a. So, I might be a wee bit extra unhinged.
I don’t think Roman Golladay was Audrey Hepburn’s best movie
It was actually Breakfast at Tiffany Rivers’ Nursery.
lol at CFL being preempted by JV wood ball.
These teams aren’t even ranked!
huh, Denver decided to have mercy on my (cold, black) soul for once
Oh hey! I totally forgot that I grabbed some matcha pocky while wandering the aisles looking for unsweetened lime juice! Yessssss
I should definitely go to the bar to watch the Bears lose tonight, let’s see how lazy I’m feeling in a couple hours
Dan Campbell gives ZERO fucks, which is absolutely the way to coach a shitty team.
Dan Campbell seems to be a coach that players want to play for. The problem is he doesn’t seem to know how to coach.
He seems like a great candidate for a Cyrano de Bergerac type thing.
What the hell is going on with Cincy? (Sorry, Redshirt)
Taking control of the AFC North is apparently the hottest of hot lava.
If Clippers du Merde left the pitch after this kick, think it would still end 27-7.
Okay, who hired Marvin Lewis back?
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Man, the Raiders suck. Maybe I should start rooting for one of the local teams.
[turns on Chargers game]
Bet on Paraguayan Supercopa? Don’t mind if I do!
Hilarious throwaway interception by Allen.
Most men wouuld be happy to have two muffs in one day
one YEAR. Or maybe even DECADE???
“That’s a slow day.” — Wilt Chamberlain
Damn right.
There’s a refractory period between upvotes.
Today’s Bengals game is rated X, because there are muffs everywhere!
this is the dirtiest I have ever heard Redshirt talk – the cycle of corruption is complete!
Wow. It’s like the Bengals all have money on this game or something.
I want an active NFl starter to write a fantasy football blog.
