“But Wait, There’s More!” Your Next NFL Football Open Thread

Well, not much more with there being only three games on in this window but we’ll watch. I read a wee blurb about The Shield looking to squeeze money out of Spain and/or Brazil for the right to host some games. Does that mean more morning football goodness? I’m not exactly Dr. Who when it comes to time zones.

To The Games!

Panthers/Seahawks:

Is anyone going to watch this blah affair? Hey, welcome to the NFL, kid: Bryce Young is doing that elf on the shelf way too early so it’s Red Rocket Time! Dalton might just be the fella to exploit a Seattle D that is 30th in defending the pass. I’ve seen bigger surprises. Thing is, the Seahawks should be able to get things done on the ground given that Carolina has surrendered 130+ yards for the last two games and the opposing o-line run block win rate is 7th best.

Cowboys/Cards:

Motion to re-name the Cards the Dead Horses because they’re going to be beaten so much this year? Can I see a show of hands? That Dallas D is something-they’re creating negative yard plays at a blistering (and unsustainable) 15.3% rate. Fantasy-wise the Cowboys allow the 3rd-least points to qb’s and the least points to both rb’s and wr’s. DAK! is playing his 100th game today and is the only one of his kind to throw for 150 TD’s and rush for 25, although I’ve the feeling that Patty will as well.

Bears/Chiefs:

Both of these teams had trouble scoring last week but one gets the feeling that Kansas City is going to resolve the issue sooner and with brute force. Eberflus is going to be calling the plays on D now that Alan Williams is spending more time with his health. And if the rumors are correct there will be some time with prison bars and therapists as well. Overthink Much?: Fields is getting sacked on 11.5% of his dropbacks despite the fact that his line gives him the 5th-most time to complete a pass.

Do your thing. Ewww, not that one!

Touched down….RICO SUAVE???

Spur

Pollard showing up is nice

fleshwound_NPG

considering the week they had, panthers losing and somebody else giving up 70 points are the silver linings for the bears

King Hippo

Red Rocket! RED ROCKET!!!

LemonJello

Holy shitballs. Does Moose get paid by the word? A little dead air is ok.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, SO glad that it was not My Raiders who enabled the Dolphins to make history today. I’m genuinely shocked, because this is normally right in their wheelhouse.

WCS

Allowing Mike Mali and Uncle Jack to put up 71 tonight is a Your Raiders thing to do.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, I really shouldn’t have spoken that possibility into existence.

Doktor Zymm

We’ll soon find out if it’s a “hold my beer” sort of moment

Is that dish called The Washington O-Line?

Doktor Zymm

Was finishing my pastis when a nice Scottish lady came over and chatted to me for a bit, so I think any plans to head out are nixed. Got another pastis that I’m sipping on my balcony and following various matches online

LemonJello

Dallas D tired from jerking off to their press coverage?

Brocky

Reverse a passing td, will become a rushing td ibdont get points for

Brocky

Obviously not a hard prediction, but still

yeah right

You know what? I didn’t miss watching this shit at all last week.

I have been reprioritized.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Rugby has done wonders in that department for me. I flipped over to check the end of the Chargers-Vikings game and between the reviews, penalties, and constant cuts to commercial I was like, “this is the worst crack I’ve ever smoked.” The NFL is starting to seem more like a scripted legal drama than an athletic competition.

Doktor Zymm

Rugby is also super fun, but not on as reliable schedule though

Spur

Halas Hall has always been a den of sin.

LemonJello

“Oh, if those walls could talk.”

-Virginia McCaskey

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m actually working on something in that regard.

Brocky

Yeah, but not the fun kinds

Spur

am gonna start drinking. this game is gonna be a shit show.

King Hippo

I know 31-9 might FEEL like a loss, but I assure you as a Donks homer it could be much worse.

King Hippo

Punt coverage fist fucks the dog. IN THE ASSHOLE.

Spur

That’s gonna be an extra $100 – Linda Lovelace 

The Maestro

More like cunt poverage, AMIRITE??!

bk109

So, 3 people picked the Jaguras in the Eliminator challenge? Aside from gumbygirl, who’re the rest that for some unfathomable reason believed in Florida men not doing something stupid?!

Gumbygirl

In my defense, I used to have Jags season tickets. Ok, that’s not a good defense. Kind of like the Jaguars today.

Spur

Da Bears care? Like they want to try and play foossball?

WCS

Is this going to the weird early season loss for the Chiefs when they inevitably go 13-4?

King Hippo

TayTay Jinx?

Brocky

With my fucking luck espn is going to change that shovel past to a handoff on Monday so I get less points

WCS

I missed a playoff spot to that seven or eight years ago, and ragequit fantasy then and there.

litre_cola

T swizzle’s next album will have A LOT of DFO fodder on it! Bring on 2024.

fleshwound_NPG

the future swift breakup song written for kelce is gonna get played in every stadium that beats the chiefs

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Look at these guys from Wales, thinking they’re the Dolphins.

Spur

The Hellwater Club

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t get that reference but it sounds cool as hell so it’s getting a +1 from me.

Spur

so it’s gonna be that kinda game for Dallas.

LemonJello

Dallas deciding to add a challenge and play from behind today?

Let’s check in on the DONKS! section of the Clubhouse…

To offset kelce and swift, I decree that sydney sweeney must start dating Justin fields

Taylor Swift at the Chiefs game is surfacing a memory for me: who was that celebrity who was known to be a curse on whichever team’s player she was dating?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yoko Ono

Spur

Any Kardashian

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Kim Kardashian?

Petronel

Jessica Simpson?

litre_cola

Petro nailed it

Brocky

People can blame dim witted Jessica all they want. Eli beat the cowboys because of romo’s incompetence and Jerry’s arrogance

Greg Olsen is dreadful and the only I would find constantly going to Taylor Swift’s box enjoyable would get them an FCC fine

The Maestro

I, too, would enjoy spending quality time inside Taylor Swift’s box.

Spur

Found a stream for the Dallas game. so for its a normal Dallas/Cards game. The Cards have Dallas’s number.

litre_cola

Is that a thing Spur?

bk109

Well, shit, I actually stumbled upon a more abysmal stat than Denver’s “achievements” in Miami, Hippo, while wading through the Ukrainian telegram segment 😀

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THIS RUGBY GAME I CALL IT GALLIPOLI CAUSE THE AUSSIES ARE GETTING ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED.

Senor Weaselo

The Emu War was right there

Petronel

“Chubb’s MRI Brings Optimism’.

there’s a joke in there somewhere…

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Hmm. Not quite feeling as positive about the Raiders’ 1-point victory over the Broncos.

King Hippo

We are not exactly an 0-3 with promise, that’s for sure.

Col. Duke LaCross

That 3rd Down stop was the best thing that’s happened to the Bears all week.

Brocky

Okay, I’ve got a full proof plan today.

I’m starting mahomes and the chiefs defense.

Either my fantasy team wins or the bears find a way to not look like ass.

God himself is going to have to descend from heaven in order to fuck me over, which at the very least will undisputedly prove he has it out for me

bk109

Or you mush Mahomes into a redux of Chubb’s injury, with the Chiefs barely squeaking a win 😀

litre_cola

Sitting with a Bears fan and he 100% agrees

God (in a conference room, to a team of angels): “Okay, you’ll go down to Putin to remind him of his childhood. You’ll remind him of innocence. You’ll…”

God’s Assistant: “Sir! Brocky’s trying to win their Fantasy Football matchup again!”

God: “When will Brocky learn? Alright, stand down, everyone. I’ll have to deal with Brocky again.”

I’d like to personally apologize for jinxing the tie

Redshirt

Not going to lie, I was rooting for the tie but happy to be wrong.

….and of course we’re getting the Boyz/Cardz game because it’s too early for the Commandos to be mathematically irrelevant yet.

I love Minshew mania!!!

Minshew Orlovsky’d and still won

0-5 vs. .500 or better teams so of course this is how he gets his first w

I know there’s a Gay in the Indy-Baltimore game, but Sean Payton took a domination today unseen outside of a Milwaukee leather bar

The Referees doing Baltimore-Indianapolis must be Catholic Cardinals in their day jobs because they have no problem with inappropriate touching around the waist and backsides.

This is why Indianapolis can’t have nice things.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Indiana residents don’t deserve nice things, so it works out fine.

Once again, I picked up Achane for depth purposes. He has 49.3 points.

How hard will the Shield push the “it’s an HR issue not a criminal” one narrative for the former Bears DC.

LemonJello

How much evidence can they suppress?

Grumble grumble is that a challenge grumble grumble

GB the most untrustworthy of the 2-1s

WCS

Not if the Stillers win tonight.

Downfield Matriculator

I like your optimism, but do not quite share it . . . though the Raiders could Raider . . . there, I am back on board with a sketchy 2-1!

fleshwound_NPG

nothing is more trustworthy than bullshit keeping the stillers in the win column
