Your Week Seven (already?) Early Slate of NFL Games Open Thread

I was going to write ‘early afternoon’ slate of games but west coasters tend to get cranky if they read that before having their first cup of meth in the morning. Tee-hee.

To The Games!

Falcons/Bengals:

Life at .500 can mean different things to different teams. Cincy didn’t expect this at all and Atlanta fans (there are some you know) are mildly surprised to be at 3-3. The Falcons run game continues apace without Patterson-Huntley, Allgeier and Mariota racked up 160 yards vs the Niners.

Lions/Cowboys:

Dak is healthy immediately after Cooper Rush was exposed by the Eagles. Imagine that. Of all the one win teams in the NFL, the Lions have the most energy.

Colts/Titans:

Tennessee has righted the yacht after starting out 0-2. Is it a bit weird that these guys just played 3 weeks ago? Anyway, the Titans are looking for their second straight season sweep.

Packers/Commies:

Taylor Heinicke and Scary Terry will need a bit of luck against the league’s best passing D. Qaron is playing at a Heinicke-like level these days, his o-line doing him no favors. Perhaps he could have Tom come over and yell at them-it would be a nice change from the usual simmering disdain.

Bucs/Panthers:

The suddenly McCafferty-less Carolina must make do with Hubbard and Foreman. Tampa was once fearsome vs the run but they are now in the middle of the pack at 14th.

Giants/Jags:

This is bizarre-Jacksonville hasn’t beaten an NFC team since 2018, that’s 18 straight losses. The bad news is that the Giants were their last victory. Saquon is on a nice roll but the Jags rank 3rd against the run.

Browns/Ravens:

The AFC North is muddled with 3-3 Baltimore leading the division at 3-3. DeSean Jackson was just signed, his designation being, “an injury to be named later”.

Have at it.
