Your Second Post-Christmas Footballing Open Thread

To The Games!

Bears/Seahawks:

Is there anything riveting about this game? Both teams are wallowing in mediocrity and the most salient question regarding each is, ‘who survives the fallout at season’s end?”. I guess I should point out that with Fields out for Chicago, one Large Appendage Nick Foles gets the start. Oh, something else-I discovered yesterday that one of my nephews just started playing fantasy football this year. We had a nice chat about the merits of Lockett vs D.K.-that was nice.

Steelers/Chiefs:

The Chiefs are gonna break out tonight! [listens to earpiece] Uh, sorry. That was, outbreak, the Chiefs have had an outbreak. Of the Omicron, of course. As mentioned by Boris, Hill is back. Tomlin might be my dark horse candidate for Coach of the Year given that there’s nothing about this team that says, ‘above .500’ and yet they somehow are. Like Old Bill, he makes games ugly and weird and then seizes on opportunities when they arise.

Broncos/Raiders:

Well, well, well, speaking of .500! Shall we go over all the scenarios whereby these teams can snuck into the playoffs? Do you want to fall asleep? Ok then, we won’t. Denver’s Fangio-tastic D has an albatross around its neck by the name of Drew Lock. Of the 55 qb’s to drop back to pass more than 30+ times this season he is ranked 55th. I imagine he’s been told, “when you make a mistake-and you will make several-try not to have them be back-breakers, okay?”

Do a thing, word-wise.
