Your Split Soccer/NFL Football Open Thread

You know, so that the soccery types can talk about the soccer. And the footbally types can talk football-there everyone’s happier than the proverbial clam. (Where the hell did that phrase come from?, I wonder)

To The Games!

Broncos/Panthers:

Hey, Carolina is parading yet another sub-average qb out on to the field today! Sam Darnold is apparently being re-evaluated before he hits free agency but that’s pure silliness, methinks. Desperate teams do desperate things.

Bucs/Browns:

Enjoy Jacoby Brissett while you still can. The Masseuse Abuser returns next week and the length of the suspension and the workings of the schedule make everyone with a working brain roll their eyes to infinity.

Ravens/Jags:

Baltimore has won four in a row and is looking more and more like the team was supposed to look at the outset of the season. During the streak the D has given up a shade over 14 points although Lamar has not thrown for over 240 yards-it’s a team effort thingy.

Texans/Fins:

Not much to say here-Houston is re-arranging deck chairs on their sinking ship, tossing Kyle Allen into the mix. Looks like the Fins get a freebie here and will strengthen their lead in the AFC East, given that the Pats lost and the Jets have problems on O.

Bears/Jets:

Yet another team that is switching things up at the qb spot and finally, a White guy catches a break! Credit goes to Saleh, (peace be with you) he knows his D is good enough to keep him in games and there is enough raw talent on O. He just needs to find a guy to unlock it, though he doesn’t have many options.

Bengals/Titans:

Ja’Marr was practicing this week and my fantasy team in money league was hopeful but the scuttlebutt now says that he won’t be playing. Trey Burk finally got unstuck last week and plunked down 111 yards receiving. Just what the Titans have been looking for-a weapon in the passing game that can do awful damage on play-action. I don’t imagine any team would want to play them in the post-season.

Enjoy.
