Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Jibbly boobersnatch! This is not the game I wanted to see and the Rams is the team no one wants to watch. But here’s the NFL’s response-the Rams get this Thursday nighter, next week they get a Monday night tilt, the week after that they play one of three games on Xmas day and the last game of the year they play Sunday night. Yes, that team that has lost six straight and is the worst defending champ ever gets nothing but featured/standalone contests the rest of the way. Do Better NFL!

Flotsam and Jetsam:

-Hurrah for Davis Mills! He won his job back as starting qb of the Texans. And even more bad news? He is likely without both Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins-his #1 wr is Dorsett and that’s just wrong.

-The Hits Keep Coming: The Hurricane of Shit continues to swirl around Lil Danny Snyder now that the House has announced (to no one’s surprise) that the wee fella contributed to and engaged in the toxic work environment that no doubt continues to exist at the Commies workplace. Shouldn’t wifey be getting a divorce lawyer lined up by now or is she one of those Stockholm Syndrome types?

-Desmond Ridder Time: Marcus Mariotta, in his prime at 29 has thrown 3(!) games of over 200 yards. Other games he’s gone for 129 yards, (twice) 124, 131 and 134. His completion percentages have featured a 36% game as well as a 52 and 54. This is the time of the year when shitty teams play the “Let’s See What We’ve Got” game because they sure aren’t playing footed ball.

To The Game!

Raiders/Rams:

-A Little Excitement?: McDaniels has called a flea-flicker play in each of the last two games-they both went for TD’s so expect to see another.

-Do you believe that “Baker Mayfield might play” baloney? (or bologna, as they say in Italy) How could he have possibly picked up all the in’s and out’s of the O, the protection schemes, the timing with the wr’s, etc.? Pure silliness. If he does play a quarter or so you know the Rams tanktastic season is underway.

-I mean, they’re well on their way already with six straight losses and they don’t need help from Mayfield-they’re already got Perkins and Wolford for that.

-Meanwhile, on the Other Side: Thanks to some awesome running on the part of Jacobs the Raiders have cobbled together a few wins and stand at 5-7. (I remember saying at the start of the season they would run him into the ground because they didn’t pick up his option. And that prediction totally nullifies my dreadful 3-10 record in Freezer Vodka, so there) But they’re not making the playoffs. I’m not telling the truth mathematically but I am being realistic.

-Davante Adams is on a tear-over the last five games he has 7 TD’s, 41 grabs and 664 yardos.

Put your thoughts down for posterity’s sake.
