Your Early Slate of NFL Games Open Thread

Apologize for the tardiness-when there’s no bye weeks it takes a bit more time to put my half-thoughts together.

To The Games!

Falcons/Bills:

Has Daboll finally figured out how to properly use Singletary? I’ve always felt he was the more dynamic player, Moss seeming to be a bit more of a plodder. Devin now has 75+ scrimmage yards in three straight as the Bills woeful running game shows some sign of life.

Giants/Bears:

Behold the mighty Giants and despair-under Judge (who has another year after this. YAY!) they’ve scored 25+ points in a game 4 times in 31 tries! Saquon is now in a time share with Booker and there are no wr’s of note playing aside from Golladay.

Chiefs/Bengals:

You’re staring at the game of the early window, folks. Over the last three games Patty has gone 8:1 TD/INT, 73% passing and has a 9.2 YPA. His opposite number beats him in every category with 10:0, 75% and 10.1 YPA. Thing is, Cincy hasn’t won three in a row all year (hey, they’re a young team coached by a youngster) and they currently have two in their back pocket.

Fins/Titans:

Beware the Waddle today. The Titans D gives up the 2nd-most points to wr’s and this fella has been remarkably consistent for a rook. Perhaps he’s the reason that Tua is giving the team a glimpse of his potential, finally. That Fins D tho-they’ve only allowing 11.7 ppg during the winning streak.

Raiders/Colts:

Wentz is a go but it’s Taylor that makes the team go. To win the division they’ll have to win out while the Titans do the opposite. That’s a tough request because Tennessee gets Houston next week.

Jags/Pats:

Whatever happened to the dead coach bounce that Jack Town was supposed to enjoy? Perhaps the rot goes even deeper than we thought… The Pats lost their grip on the division last week so I expect Old Bill will take out his frustrations today on the Jags-and it will be ugly in more than one way.

Bucs/Jets:

Tampa is strolling into the playoffs because the Jets and Panthers are left on the sked. Poor Zach, given the dearth of talent around him he’s decided to take it upon his wheels to make a difference, scoring 4 TD’s on the ground in the last five. Braxton Berrios who, in another timeline is a billionaire cereal magnate that wants to take over the world, has scored in two consecutive games!

Eagles/TEAM:

What is going on with teams (or TEAM) revolving their qb’s in and out of the huddle? It never works and yet Rivera is the latest to say that he’ll give it a shot with Allen and Heinicke. Philly’s backfield gives weight to the old adage that ‘the sum is greater than the parts’.

Rams/Ravens:

If you have a loved one playing in the Ravens secondary today it’s best to just close your eyes and say a prayer. I’m guessing Kupp goes for 15 catches, 150 yards and a brace of TD’s vs this cast of castoffs. Lamar didn’t bother limping thru practice on Thurs/Fri and is listed as questionable.

Type away…
