Your (Dreadful) Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

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!
