Your Thursday Night NFL Football Game Open Thread

Lookit that white helmet! So much blather about so little. Has Kenny Anderson weighed in yet? What is Carl Pickens’ take? Is there nothing else going on in Cincy? That may very well be rhetorical.

Newsy Notes:

-Brett is just a good old boyshyster. I did love coming across the transcript whereby Favre said something like, “This can’t possibly come back and bite me on the ass, right?” After being assured that he was in the clear he jumped up and clicked his heels (in my imagination) and replied, “Well golly-be, let’s do this thing then!”.

-Shoutout to Myles Garrett’s shoutout to Ralph Nader. According to the Highway Patrol, our hero was traveling at an “unsafe (at any) speed”.

-Much Ado About Ian: Actually, no. The Chiefs-Bucs tilt will go on as scheduled in The Bay.

To The Game!

Fins/Bengali’s:

-Tua is listed as questionable but I heard that drugs are readily available for injection in NFL locker rooms for anyone that wants them. Shhh…

-I’ve mentioned before that I do love the cut of McDaniel’s jib. He’s made such a big impression on me that I’ve referred to him as “Mike McDonald” in previous posts.

-Waddle was invisible the first game of the year but has come on like gangbusters since then. After two back-to-back 100 yard affairs, he leads the team in total yards at 321.

-Grumblelord Cracks a Smile: The Fins used U of Cincy’s field for a walkthrough which was promptly taped and then thrown on Twitter.

-Burrow has had his struggles but his passer rating keeps climbing-from a low of 61.7 in week one, he’s posted 89.9 and 114.9 in the weeks following-playing the Jets helped.

-Miami’s O is fine and dandy but that D needs some “refining” shall we say? It’s giving up 413 yards per which is good for #2 (heh) in the league.

Bathe in the football.
