Will you be watching the N’Keal Harry revenge game? A Warning: You’ll see plenty of positive Belichick stuff tonight as well. It might be too much for yours truly. The prime time games so far this year have been less than stellar and this one slots perfectly.
Newsy Notes:
-As far as fantasy is concerned, Mike Williams, (ankle) Breece Hall (ACLU) and D.K. Metcalf (patellar tendon, maybe) are crushing your dreams for a few weeks or the entire year.
-Oh Melvin: After another putrid outing by Mel the Broncos have brought on board also-ran Marlon Mack. Probably just a depth move but I wouldn’t be surprised if Gordo was shipped off somewhere.
-You Hate To See It: The Bucs and the Pack are floundering and it’s downright wonderful to experience.
-The NFC East was supposed to be a two-time champ in the “Lousiest Division” competition this year but the NFC South couldn’t let that happen on their watch. Led by Tampa Bay at 3-4 they have all of 10 wins between them. (the AFC South has the same number of W’s but they at least have a winning team in the Titans)
To The Game!
Bears/Pats:
-Welp, I guess a reason to watch this tilt would be if you have the New England D and are down 15-25 points. So there’s that.
-Matt Jones’ ankle, feeling a bit of pressure from Zappe, is back under center tonight. Stupid Pats have two capable qb’s that are both on their rookie deals. Nuts to them.
-Oh, you won’t get tired at all of all the positive Belichick talk tonight as he chugs towards the all-time victory title. He passes Halas tonight.
-The Bears will need to score 11 points to avoid being the league’s lowest-scoring team-they sit at 93 and the Rams are at 104 (and have had their bye already, not so with Chicago)
-They do have a very effective run game to lean on but the Pats D hasn’t allowed a TD on the ground so far this year and they shut down Chubb and Hunt last week.
Good luck out there tonight folks!
Boo comment awaiting approval.
Approved even though it’s scary

I see Fields gets the “black guy QB” roughing rules
fields is gonna be dead by week 9
This game thread is just going to turn into a Zap Brannigan gif/image thread and I am here for it
That’s the best thing about Ol’ Bailey. Oh hey, we can also do English criminal court jokes!

Does this score mean i can’t just take a melatonin and fade out?
I say go for it unless waking up and not knowing who won would bother you
Seems like an optimal game to fall asleep to.
Just once I’d like to see the B roll city scape shots for a Pats game to show Providence. It’s closer to Foxboro, production crews and the visiting teams stay there, and is a very underrated city
I’ve always wondered why Rhode Island is called that when it is very clearly not an island
Nor a road
Not one worth driving on, unless you hate your car. You could be driving on 95 from CT and know exactly when you hit the RI border.
Blindfolded on 95 from CT.
It’s a great city so long as you don’t mind a never-ending circle of one-way roads that don’t actually lead anywhere.
Well, hell of a run Mac.
Now go get your fucking shine box!
Sudden change. What was the O/U on this tilt?
MGM is saying 48.5 but that seems way too high
must be the live line?
It just changed to 47.5 so yeah, you got it. Still seems high, but I assume they know more about suckers than I do.
Has to be. I was thinking 40.5 ish
bears have repaired their T-34 and are back on the march to draft day glory
So is it time for us to crank the Sarah McLachlan in the [DFO] clubhouse now or what???
detroit loves their former pats players/coaches
welcome to the lions, mac
Needed a Harrisdown there. Pains me to cheer for the Pats.
NC STATE WOO!!!!!!
Welcome to the Washington Commies Mac Jones.
We DO have an opening for a seasoned overseer! – Daniel S., Fairfax, VA

Or possibly “Doing the WormDown”
Man did Mac Jones get bailed out of that horrible throw by his receiver.
Wrong white guy
PLEASE GOD LET THAT TD STAND
(sigh) congrats you win
Damien Harris will still backdoor my loser arse

Is this the way the NFL triggers Belichick’s self-destruct sequence? If so, neat

Ball(s) dont lie
If you swap the ‘s’ and the ‘c’ Manningcast becomes Manningscat which would be useful if you ever have to hunt one of them through the forest in a deadly, deadly game.
“But I’m really good at hide n’ seek!” — Eli
I thought it would just be a double box of their cats playing with laser pointers with the game on in the background
Next week’s guest is Jay Cutler
Manningcats!
Would be the real life version of Goldeneye Big Head Mode
he spiked him in the nuts

Montgomery is one of the two types of players that can succeed on the Bears. Those types are:
1) Scrappy RB that can somehow eke out yards after contact
and
2) Linebacker that gets at least one sack against GB and is ‘Midwest charismatic’
So while Obama’s on the Bears are out to a 10-0 lead. Masshole Trumpers planning another assault on the Capitol.
How about NFL HQ. There’s a riot that should have bipartisan support.
what is happening
This is….less than ideal.
bears looking waaay too competent here. needs to be a fumble/int for balance sake
You can’t lose an insurmountable lead without getting the points first.
Even an incompetent clock looks competent twice a season

This is reminding me why I really liked Candidate Obama. He’s charismatic and likable. How’d I like him as President? Uh, I…. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BEHIND YOU?!?!

These Massholes LOVE them some Lost Zappa Brother!
2-yard checkdown. #PeakWhiteMac
How I’m feeling right now:
OAN and Newsmax are having a seizure right now.
Over what? Did DeSantis bite the head off a puppy live on stage?
Obama on the Manningcast.
Obama ‘s on the Mannings, being welcomed and joking around like he thinks he’s people
Pey-Pey’s even a Republican. TRAIDER!!!
I know. I hope it’s full on Scanners there!

My projector just told me to replace the bulb soon. Didn’t I *just* do that like 5 years ago?
Well, P*ts losing the shutout dooms me in my derp-off with spam (we each track to score in the 80s at best). Hey, we were 5-1 coming into this failure pile in a sadeness bowl.
First safety wins obvs
The Continuing Legend of White Mac.
This is required viewing right?
I barely remember when I last showered, but IIRC the only “firm mandatory” is the 14-hr bloc when there is a Euro-fixture. That replaced the old “TNF is mandatory” rule.
/reminder – I do a lot of drugs and have less than zero actual authori-tah
I usually work Monday nights but have tonight off. At least there is the Manning cast.
The Returning Legend of White Mac
Also acceptable!
Still White. Still Mac.

Barry HUSSEIN O’Bummer will be on the Mannings. Hoping he’s got some declassified intel on Belichick to drop.
just dont be (too) embarrassing and lose a close one. embrace the tank. it will set you free, chicago
But enough about dealing with a hangover, what about tonight’s game?
Jrob to the Jets is a thing apparently.
Great trade. Jets are finally winning, lose their stud, the Khaaaaannns capitalize because “Prison girlfriend” is still erratic.

Need a bunch of Harris tonight so place your bets on Rhamondre getting ALL the action.
Heads up, BC Dick:
“Crafton Ingram Lanes in Pittsburgh is hosting a ‘Balls Out Bowling Naked Cosmic Bowling Night’
The event is being hosted by the Pittsburgh Area Naturists and will be held on Sunday, October 23 from 4:00 PM- 7:00 PM.
Pittsburgh Area Naturists say that nudity is required (with the exception that women can wear bottoms) and they suggest bringing a bag to secure belongings.”

Please do not give him any ideas.
Is it a foul if a foot goes over the line on the ground or any body part over the line in the air? This might come into play.
There’s a watch which holes you put your fingers in joke that I don’t have the brain power to make tonight
TRUE WCS FACT:
This is where I bowled in high school. It’s literally 20 minutes from where I’m typing this.
BOTG…?
Balls on the ground?
Princess didn’t make you castrati for slipping one past the goalie?
You have to be nekkid. It’s mandatory! Go take one for the team!
You’re telling us about it AFTER it happens? Talk about your (very) sloppy seconds.
I really need to vote early. Some Democrats are saying stuff that triggering me and I really don’t want to reflexively relapse into the Fourth Reich.
If it helps I’ve heard Republicans say that both raising and lowering taxes will increase inflation. Also keeping taxes the same.
It does. It helps offset Pelosi saying it’s time to move on from inflation.
I’m down 40 points and I have the New England Defense.
DO I HAVE A SHOT?
Yes.
Based on that Thousand Yard State by Fields last week, anything’s possible.
Zappe Brannigan is being shown the bench? I guess Belichick isn’t panicking. Yet.
