Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Hey, good to see you back! This tilt is somewhat interesting, unlike our game in three days. Yeah, it’s Atlanta/Carolina, folks. Oof!

Newsy Notes:

-It’s already been mentioned Reich is gone, after getting rid of his OC (Irsay’s doing, I’d think) and after getting rid of Matt Ryan. This is what constructive tanking looks like.

-And the replacement coach is a fella with high school experience only? It couldn’t be more obvious.

-But that Irsay fella has seen Manning and Luck so he thinks he knows what a real NFL qb looks like and by golly, he’s gonna go get him one!

-The Pantards wearily fired back by getting rid of their cb and d-line coaches.

-Tyreek is having an historic season, cruising to a potential 2,000 yard receiving year. He’ll get that extra game in so his pace is at 2,085 yards.

To The Game!

Ravens/Saints:

-Dalton gets the start-he has perfectly cromulent numbers to this point, posting an average of 235 passing and a 9/4 TD/INT ratio.

-Thing is, the goblins in his game tend to come out when the stadium lights come on-he’s a dreadful 6-20 in prime time tilts.

-Still, you might not figure the Saints as being #4 in total offense at 394 yards per game.

-Various injuries mean that tight end Likely and good old D-Jax as well as Justice Hill and Kenyon Drake will see the field.

-This should be a good test for star rook wr Olave-he tends to play outside so he should see plenty of Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters.

-The Saints rush D is coming off a shutout of the Raiders but a much sterner challenge awaits in a Ravens team that averages 5.7 ypc. They seem to have trouble finishing on the ground as they are only 14th in the league in ground scores.

Enjoy.
