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…

Jet Fumes got to AB?

Sharkbait

Did AB just rage quit?

ArmedandHammered

I’m watching that I can’t believe it, what the hell, does feel he needs to be in the headlines again?

King Hippo

It’s almost like full-grown people tend not to change very much.

Time to see if KC will guard that Bengals rookie WR out of LSU. If not, I’ll have to refer to a translator to keep counting in Spanish.

KC/CIN is getting a bit chippy.

Josh Allen still in the Xmas spirit with 3 pickerceptions so far today

Sharkbait

Same for Trevor Lawrence!

ArmedandHammered

I have a feeling that we will never see how good Trevor Lawrence could actually have been without being messed up by Urban Meyer.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

With the Bears scoring again the Giants are going to have to ask Glennon to open it up and BAHAHAHAHA I can’t.

Redshirt

How is that stat line even possible?

Not wrong!

Joe Judge is going to get shot into Jupiter’s orbit before Matt Nagy. 2022 is already full of surprises.

You can get Stafford out of Detroit, but you can’t get the Detroit out of Stafford.

See Fat Sackford is back

Gumby says Greg Olsen is Bam Bam Rubble all growed up.

SAFETY 0:54
B.Bredeson and W.Martin reported in as eligible. D.Booker right guard to NYG 1 for no gain (A.Blackson). The Replay Official reviewed the safety ruling – and the play was REVERSED. B.Bredeson and W.Martin reported in as eligible. D.Booker right guard tackled in End Zone for -1 yards – SAFETY (A.Blackson).

Early candidate for Play-by-Play Play of the Week.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand why they allow Mahomes to play with what, based on his passes and the apparent effort he uses, a Nerf Zoom Football.

Sharkbait

NOW he gets his head out of his ass. Where was this last week?!

Redshirt

Its mostly the Bengals. They’re playing zone defense like they have to stand in the center of their zones at all times, regardless on where the receiver is.

Cecil Rhodes

Kyle Pitts has sustained an owie away from the play. This might spell the end for my championship caliber fantasy squad.

rockingdog

Oh my.
That means CPatt gonna get the ball more, right??

JimU

I wasn’t prepared for how truly awful the Giants are. Another rotten apple from the Belichick coaching tree.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Some of it is coaching. Some of it is lack of talent. Some of it is coaching untalented players.

rockingdog

What’s the weather looking like for Seahawks vs Lions??
I’m flip-flopping btwn QB Taysom Hill or Russell Wilsonnn…

Clipboard Jesus

The rain is coming down now, doesn’t seem windy though.

King Hippo

Brokeback is still a moe-ron, and McDermott illogically averse to running the ball.

A booth review safety? Oh my lawd.

King Hippo

Trying to make my brain work, but have trouble seeing what might qualify for SNF in Week 18. A little help?

Gumbygirl

Kupp saves the day!

hippofant

I see the Bears are back on their, play just well enough at the end of the season to save Nagy’s job, schtick.

Bears are hibernating? Not shocked at all

I was in San Francisco last week. The Bears in that city were definitely not hibernating!

Cincinnati Bengals Pass Defense is more a theory than a tangible fact.

Even if they are able to make it work, the half life needs to be more than nanoseconds

Who will have more points at the end of their games? The Ice Giants or the Jaguars. Both currently have 3

Twitter permanently suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal account (msn.com)

So, she keeps her personal account but keep her official account as a Congressperson (and I use the word “person” loosely)? That’s like taking away the keys to a drunk person’s car but allowing him to keep the keys to the company car.

Gumbygirl

I bought a box of Cap’n Crunch. Do I regret it? Hell no!

Top of your mouth will but damn it’s worth it!

Yeah, that stuff can tear you up!

Found a funny;

a streetcar named desire. a roomba named bonecrusher.

Sadly, this game is showing why the Bengals are a year away. However, Chase continues to be a cheat code.

pick out some navel lint then smell his finger.

I’m thinking she was raptured by God; she was the only one who made the cut.

It’s almost like Idiocracy and Don’t Look Up aren’t satire.

That commercial would have been more realistic if one of them drowned and the first responder stole the Apple watch off their lifeless wrist while pretending to take a pulse.
