Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Hello again. Just one more game to cap off a wonderful day of footballin’. Let’s get at it, shall we?

To The Game!

Bucs/Cowboys:

-It’s hard to imagine Micah Parsons playing any better than he did last year but that rat bastard (he’s a Cowboy) is my pick for DPOY.

-Godwin must surely be on a pitch count so the question becomes, “Evans or Julio?”. I’d pick Evans as the one that the Cowboys should pay most attention to. Sure, Julio can move the ball downfield but the likelihood of him actually getting into the endzone is thin.

-Tampa is a miserable 1-12 when they wander down to Dallas.

-Hopefully the Cowboys have Pollard in the mix more than they have had in year’s previous. He adds a bit of juice to that backfield. Don’t get me wrong-if you want to salt a win away by running the ball, Zeke is the best in the league. (let’s pretend that Derrick Henry doesn’t exist for a moment) But Pollard has a ‘take it to the house when you least expect it’ quality about him.

-A bottom 5 o-line? That’s what one Sirius football talkin’ guy accused Dallas of having during a fit of hyperbole. That said, that unit must be the central concern of most fans of the team. Zach Martin is still around but the rest of the line is a mess.

-Last year them Cowboys had the highest turnover Expected Points Added of any team in the last five years. They’ll get theirs as long as Diggs & Co. are around but they can’t expect to approach that number again this year.

I haven’t talked much about it (even via the voice of DJ 3000) but Ukraine is kicking some serious ass this weekend and I’m about to have a shot of Wild Turkey in their honor.

My belly is full of fancy wine and carnitas.

A couple of my stupid futures bets are looking halfway decent after today, here’s hoping things stay interesting deep into the season!

I walk away for five minutes and Dak gets fried?

“Mmm, fried Dak.” -Andy Reid

Dak is slowly turning into Tony Romo, all that’s left is a series of backbreaking 4th quarter interceptions in games with post-season implications. It’s a sad and horrifying thing to watch happen to a kid

TheRevanchist

McCarthy is a terrible HC, so I’m not sure why any Dallas fan would expect anything better.

JimU

Let’s see if he coaches more games this season than Scott Frost did.

For the record I’m still watching this game. I just am also reading the paper and drinking, because this game is really goddamn boring and the Cowboys look terrible.

I had them going 9-8, 4-2 in the division, and missing the play-offs this year. Watching this game I think the only thing I got right was the “missing the play-offs” portion. The rest may have been wildly optimistic.

And now Dak may have broken some fingers or his hand. 2-15 it is.

Wakezilla

I think it’s really courageous of Dak to be playing so shockingly bad and unwatchable, he’s raising awareness to the Mississippi water crisis.

Someone dented the can of ham.

Too bad, I prefer the west side.

Only 3 partial baths? What a hovel.

I bought the James V. D. Lanier House and there were tube socks hanging from the ceiling next to the chandelier

TheRevanchist

But it’s still in New York. And cleaning all that shit would be a bitch. Hell no.

Senor Weaselo

Hmm, right off the 6…
