Your Old Timey Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

This is a fantastic matchup. IN THE 1970’S!

To The Game!

Steelers/Raiders:

-Pittsburgh hasn’t beaten the Raiders on the road since 1995! Illustrious qb’s such as Andrew Walters and Terrelle Pryor have paddled their behinds. (I honestly can’t recall Walters, was that Barbra’s son?)

-Will Jacobs finally let loose after running for (checks notes a third time) -2 yards last week? Seems likely given that the Pitt D have allowed 144 rush yards over expected in the last two weeks.

-Good News?: The way one solves one’s Pickett-centric quarterbacking woes? Why, have Matt Canada work even closer with him moving forward. Yes, that’s the plan-the guy on his way out is gonna given Kenny some of that Canada magic. Once he gets some of that tasty Canada syrup he’s going to turn things around.

-You laugh (probably not) but Pickett is a quick learner. As a rookie he rushed for 14+ yards in 10 of the 13 games he played. And then came the concussions… But since then he’s never rushed for more than 10 yards in any game. Something got thru that cracked noggin.

-Jimmy G is yet to be sacked this season which is a bit surprising because a criticism of his in the past is that he holds onto the ball for too long.

-Prop News: Maybe take the over on Jaylen Warren’s 15.5 receiving total? He’s seeing an increased role because Harris is struggling so badly and he’s favored as the more explosive back. Plus the Browns are good at stopping the run and bringing pressure so little passes should relieve some of that. He may hit that number on just one shot.

-Unknown Guy Alert: Raider o-lineman Kolton Miller has allowed just one(!) pressure on 54 pass attempts so far. Last week he was graded as the best lineman in both run and pass blocking.

That’s it for me. Enjoy the game!

Josh McDaniels thought the Raiders were down nine, not eight.

ballsofsteelandfury

Is that a serious thing or a joke? Because I could totally see him fucking up like that.

Sounds like Notre Dame’s “ten man defense”

(it all falls into line: 10, 9, 8, ignition sequence start . . . )

TheRevanchist

I have been on TikTok since the KC game ended watching Kelce-Swift updates. I’m all in with this power couple.

If LemonJello is around, what’s the thoughts on Prison Girlfriend?

ballsofsteelandfury

Well that was a game!

Brick Meathook

That, indeed, was a game.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

For a guy who has the highest completion percentage in NFL history, Handsome Jimmy sure throws a lot of interceptions.

(not kidding, by the way: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_cmp_perc_career.htm)

lol kissin titties is just 0.1% behind brady

King Hippo

Very similar to Dingleberry, in that if you only saw the boxscores, you’d insist he was very underrated. Then, watch the game tape and it’s “oh yeah, I see why not”

Brick Meathook

For a guy who holds on to the ball for 30 minutes each play, he sure has a lot of sacks.

I like how the Raiders refuse to employ a QB with any mobility.

Gumbygirl

Well, that was a heart workout.

WCS

Eh… this was a 6/10

Gumbygirl

Yes, but I’m fat.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Mark Davis is currently furrowing his brow trying to figure out if he might have miscalculated Josh McDaniels’ IQ by an order of magnitude.

Coach Epps at least knows how time works.

King Hippo

They’re maybe gonna have 15-20 seconds.

WCS

Might want to put the good RB in, coach.

blaxabbath

Why isn’t Jimmy Garropolo looked at like Brock Osweiler?

King Hippo

handsomer?

fleshwound_NPG

as dumb as that fg kinda was, it is nowhere near as dumb if you consider josh mcdaniels knows matt canada is a fucking jabroni

WCS

Josh McDaniels could had three timeouts and could used one. Instead, everyone fucks up.

He’s going to be bailed out because of whatever the shit that was.

fleshwound_NPG

lols vegas

fleshwound_NPG

now lol stillers!

blaxabbath

TJ Watt does not look like Usain Bolt coming out of the blocks.

blaxabbath

“And the Raiders have life with 4:35 to go!!”

Well that’s because the team wasn’t in the car with Tina Tintor and her golden retriever, Max.

WCS

Narrative Overlord maintains a TJ Watt turnover.

fleshwound_NPG

matt antartica back

WCS

also melting

Ford Trucks™ are the preferred trucks of blue-collar tweakers.

all pickup trucks purchased now are nearly as expensive as a porsche and bought by rich chuds that have never tipped a waitress because “theyre already getting paid!”

I irrationally loathe Josh McDaniels.

WCS

Jimmy G might be okay, but Josh’s ineptitude at simple things like football strategy and breathing, coupled with an offense line made up of hired hitmen, we’ll never know.

fleshwound_NPG

with the nfl writers back, can only imagine what theyre gonna do with swift/kelce

WCS

Holy God that was embarrassing for Rikki’s Raider’s center. Holy shit.
