Your Second Sunday NFL Football Open Thread

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.
