It’s Round Two!-Your NFL Football Open Thread

By now you must be fully awake. The coffee has kicked in and now it’s time for other stimulants. By that I mean more football-don’t put words in my mouth-hole.

To The Games!

Panthers/Falcons:

2-5 Carolina can tie for the division lead with a win. And I thought the NFC East was bad last year! (Narrator: “It was.”) No one gives a rat’s tiny dong about this one except the participants.

Bears/Cowboys:

Not many are giving Fields and Stream much of a chance but the same thing was said last week vs the Pats and that one turned out okay. Maybe Eberflus has something going on.

Fins/Lions:

Usually a game between these teams wouldn’t arise any interest in the likes of me but I think this might be a shootout sort of thingy. And if that’s the case it would be great if Campbell can finally close a game out with the highest score.

Cards/Vikes:

Kliff’s Karousel of Near Kompetence really, really appreciates D-Hop. Arizonny is 5-9 when he’s not on the field and 9-2 when he’s operational.

Raiders/Saints:

Vegas is only 1 1/2 games out of a wild card spot but you’d think that distance will increase as the weeks bleed out. Jacobs is on a nice run of three straight 140+ yard games rushing.

Pats/Jets:

Bill tries again to pass Halas to get to second in wins. It’s odd to type this but it should be tough going on the road vs a Jets team that has bought into whatever Saleh is selling.

Steelers/Eagles:

Hoo Boy! An undefeated team coming off a bye, playing at home against a team that has lost 5 of 6 and is starting a rookie qb? You don’t have to be Albert Eisenstein to figure out the solution to this formula.

Hit that typing interface. HARD!

I’m surprised teams have their punters travel to Detroit

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Zach Wilson has thrown his third interception of the day. He’s about ready to run home crying to (a) mommy.

LemonJello

If it turns into an abortion of a game, will Hershel pay for it, then deny it?

blaxabbath

Nice to see a Vikings #4 who can excite the lady fans with size.

Cecil Rhodes

My word, Zachary Wilson’s magic underwear must be pretty brown by now. It seems he’s in need of a new brain as well — perhaps Trent Green might be willing to donate his?

Horatio Cornblower

Trevon Diggs in two plays:

1). Almost makes an incredible one-handed interception after playing off and luring Fields into a bad throw.

2). Plays way off the receiver and gives up 12 yards on 3rd and 8.

Diggs, like Nigeria, is a land of contrasts.

This is just Richie Incognito dressing up as Kenny Powers for Halloween, and you’ll never convince me otherwise.

Doktor Zymm

Ok, Travis Kelce has a stupidly expensive designer bucket hat, Zuck has stupidly expensive designer T-shirts, don’t these people know that you don’t have to pay $$$ to look like a schlub??

Horatio Cornblower

I do it quite nicely on a Kohl’s budget.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m honestly shocked they haven’t pre-empted this game to something good. Even the Saints fans would probably rather watch something else.

Horatio Cornblower

Wans’t even an INT. It was a fumble and Fields jumped OVER Parsons while Parsons was down, with the ball mind you, thereby allowing Parsons to get up and run into the end zone.

Truly a masterpiece.

Cecil Rhodes

Underrated comment. Take my +1, you scallywag.

Horatio Cornblower

Justin Fields showing off his THE Ohio State University education right there.

Horatio Cornblower

The Bears pass protection seems like more of a theory than a fact.

And then Fields actually completes a pass and somehow Micah Parsons just scored a TD while I typing this.

The Aristocrats!

Doktor Zymm

The Bears still haven’t worked out the implications of the forward pass being legalized

LemonJello

Buon pomeriggio!

Just checked into the Boys/Bears game (if that’s not the Buddy signal…)

How many points did Dallas spot Chicago before the games started?

Doktor Zymm

Not nearly enough

Doktor Zymm

I’m going to be surprisingly disappoint if the Jets lose

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I presume whoever at CBS that made the call to broadcast the Raiders-Saints game is currently packing up their office.

Two weeks in a row with 20+ Bears offense points? End times possibly nigh!

The Maestro

I’d like to borrow Maxwell’s silver hammer to bring to a discussion with Derek Carr about his suboptimal fantasy performance this week.

Use it on yourself; you were the one who was dumb enough to start him.

Horatio Cornblower

What is catch? What is fumble?

Horatio Cornblower

Folks.

Horatio Cornblower

I saw that. it was 28-7 when I took the dog for a walk. I seem to have missed a few things, but not as badly as the booth replay folks missed that fumble.

Highest paid defense in the NFL!

Doktor Zymm

Are Josh Jacobs’s 35 yds the entirety of the Raiders offense?

clint greasewood

yes

Doktor Zymm

If the Falcons win their division I will be both amused and wealthier

Two steps closer to some of the renovations on the volcano lair.

I’m thinking of putting some swan boats in the main magma chamber, but it’s hard to source the asbestos nowadays

Blocking a kick with your head has gotta hurt

Mr. Ayo

Better that than the butt punt block.

Brick Meathook

To make Andy dalton look like a cartoon character is pretty easy because he is naturally already three-quarters of the way there.

It’s a grand old flag

Brocky

Dad: you want me to DVR the game?

Me: nah I’m good

Dad: you’re really going to be at the wedding all day?

Me: there’s an open bar, no kids, there’s no church involved, and since these folks are nuts about Halloween they’re letting us wear costueme. I’ll be fine

There’s a joke to be made somewhere about knowing her way around Polish sausages, I just know it.

WILL LUTZ: [misses easy field goal]

KEVIN HARLAN: The Raiders defense holds! [turns to fellow announcer, covers microphone] I feel like I’m calling one of those Make-A-Wish touchdown runs.

Bullshit! Pats still getting bailout calls even without Dreamboat

Gisele was awarded custody of the refs in the divorce and returned them to the Pats

Excuse me, back injury.

Curse my MANDATORY rule, I would love a nap.

Is it really taunting if it’s true?

King Hippo

Truth should be an absolute defense.

Does anyone still have a George Foreman grill,

ballsofsteelandfury

Heck yeah!

Brick Meathook

I have one in the cupboard that I used once. Which is too bad because it actually worked pretty good.

Mr. Ayo

AJ Brown on a heater today!

King Hippo

I know I am against him, just refuse to check

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, smart. Good news is if he taunts the inept defense again he’ll be ejected!

Mr. Ayo

That steer roping celebration was great.
