Your Overlapping Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

You know, I’ve decided that if being able to chose between two games on Monday is the tradeoff for only having three games in the 4 O’clock skinny window, then I’m good with that.

Fallout:

-A ton of stuff happened yesterday but the most buzz seemed to be around The Kelce/Tay Squared rumors being confirmed. Did you see the look of joy on Ms. Swift’s face when her new man scored. Lip readers are saying that she yelled, “He did A Football!” That’s sweet.

-This is the cynical/morbid thing I did in my auction league. I drafted Quentin Johnson with the hope that either Keenan Allen or Mike Williams would go down with an injury and the latter only took until the 3rd week of the season to do right by me. He’s out for the year with a busted ACL.

-The Siren Song of the Bench: That’s what the Wilson Boys (Russ and Zach) are hearing according to many folks. Russell can’t be pegged for that loss but at some point Payton has to be seen as doing something to get the Horseys going, right?

-Kudos to the Texans and their upset. I was puzzled by Stroud’s proclamation of, “I’m nobody’s fish!” Huh?

To The Games!

Eagles/Bucs:

-I don’t think anyone expected Tampa to be 2-0 but here we are. Perhaps Mayfield is resurrecting his career, perhaps this is a wee blip and he’ll start turning the ball over on a regular basis again.

-Their O/U for wins was 6.5 and they’re a 1/4 of the way there.

-Philly should put the petal to the metal and get things done. That would be great for them given that all their divisionmates lost in Week 3.

-Tampa’s secondary is going to help them along because Carlton Davis is hobbled and Jamel Dean is giving up an atrocious 156.2 passer rating so far this year.

Rams/Bengals:

-Burrow is a gametimer and if he can’t go virgin qb Jake Browning will be thrown into the volcano.

-They say it’s a pain management issue so I’m thinking Joe’s a go. But this is a no-win situation. If he aggravates it more and has to sit, fans will be up in arms. But let’s remember that Cincy is 0-2 and needs a positive result badly.

-Does Puka keep it going? He’s already questionable and I think it’s just because he’s getting hit so often. Still, his yards receiving prop is 63.5 which seems like easy pickings.

Enjoy.

Mixon TD! Can’t beat that!

-though several NFL players would try

Horatio Cornblower

I’d say Mixon’s decision to bounce that run back outside was one of the worst decisions I’ve seen, but I think we all know Mixon’s made some worse decisions.

Mr. Ayo

Looks like he has more success by cutting inside. That’ll probably cause some bigger legal issues for him.

fleshwound_NPG

“tell me about it!”

-r. lewis

LemonJello

This Chase kid for the Bengals seems like he’s good at the football.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Welp that four yard pass to AJ Brown on 4th down is the difference between me winning and losing this week. Did God mistake me for Brocky?

SonOfSpam

Didn’t atone hard enough.

Brocky

So by not scoring a touchdown with hurts there, I’m going win my first matchup of the season by a hair

9-9 tie? (would be another scorigami!)

Oh let’s GO!

Horatio Cornblower

Dodgers are up 3 on the Reds. Hope Cincinnati can string together some runs and make this closer.

Scorigami!

scorigami!

Horatio Cornblower

O/U on how many questions SVP asks Jason Kelce about Taylor Swift is set at 3.

Mr. Ayo

UNDER. SVP will just ask one.

Horatio Cornblower

Kinda what I think, but setting the O/U at 2 seemed stupid.

LemonJello

Mike McDaniel is a dorky-looking guy in any profession, but the fact that he is a winning head football coach commanding roided-up players twice his size is pretty amazing.

Micah Parsons should get MVP just for this.

Also someone retweeted this and said “sounds like something John Hinkley would say” and that was also really funny.

“RAMMIT!” – Britt Reid’s internal monologue upon seeing a car stopped on the side of the road

Horatio Cornblower

I absolutely cannot wait until Hurts dislocates both of his shoulders on one of those push-sneaks, or whatever they’re calling them.

King Hippo

I calls it The Rolling Tank

Horatio Cornblower

“Arizona played the game you have to play against Dallas” says Troy Aikman, and he’s right. Any time you can play Dallas with 60% of their O-line down, on a night when they somehow decide that committing 15 penalties is the way to go, when Dak decides it’s a good night to throw with his eyes closed, when Mike McCarthy decides to manage the clock the same way he manages his diet, and then the officials don’t call PI on a late TD that would have made a huge difference in the game well, you gotta like your chances.

fleshwound_NPG

“that’s right, joe.”

25-11 would be scorigami STOP THE COUNT

Burrow looks timid. He’s not quite hurt, but he’s not quite healthy.

Horatio Cornblower

Baker Mayfield looks perfectly cromulent this drive

WCS

Confidence embiggened?

jjfozz

going to clip my toenails, more interesting than these games

Brick Meathook

Go all the way and shave your balls too.

Brick Meathook

I think the Bengals should have a throwback helmet that’s white with the word BENGALS hand-written on the side with a black Sharpie.

fleshwound_NPG

“sharpie? too expensive. do i look like a bank?”

-mike brown

Brick Meathook

Just written on one side. Saves ink, looks cool like Steelers.

Horatio Cornblower

Mike Brown won’t pay for a Sharpie, but he does have a couple of Bics that might work.

i feel cobie durant is playing the wrong sport and has to be spelled wrong

Adam Schefter would be a good mid round pick in the Punchable Faces draft.

THIS CINCY CROWD, I CALL IT THE INTERIOR OF A BUILDER’S GRADE HOME, BECAUSE IT’S ALL WHITE ON WHITE.

Burrows knows he has to get the ball to his receivers while they are in bounds, right?

Tonight’s fitbaw is leaving me feeling whelmed. Not overwhelmed nor underwhelmed. Just welmed.

jjfozz

Just occurred to me, do they really need to add more white to a Cincy crowd?

fleshwound_NPG

puka nacua is what happens when i eat nacua that is very much expired

Fronkenshteen

I realize all these false start penalties are frustrating for the Cincinnati crowd, but in all fairness, if I was a black athlete, a stadium filled with white clad fans would make me a little fucking fidgety, too.

Is it an attempted white out in Cincy?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

When you said “attempted white out” I thought you were talking Elisha’s ill-fated attempt to cover up that C- in geography.

Dunstan

And I thought he meant January 6

Brick Meathook

My prediction (you heard it here first):

BMO bank will fail within two years. These commercials are too desperate, so they know something.

This is the Washington Mutual flight path.

WCS

I tend to agree. China’s about to experience 2008.

fleshwound_NPG

[China uses CAPITALISM]

[it is not very effective!]

Mr. Ayo

They only have 6 banks up there. How could they let one fail?

The Maestro

If BMO failed, I would have to commit suicide. No, I’m not joking.

Here’s a cocktail I invented tonight:

1 part tall glass
1 part ice cubes
1 part Sav-On Brand Charcoal Filtered freezer vodka
1 part Orange Strawberry Banana juice
2-3 powerful barbituates (not pictured)

Combine ice, juice, and vodka in the tall glass, preferably clean. Chew all pills whole, wash down with refreshing cocktail.

(Note that this is a photograph, yet the camera is in the shot. You can’t explain that.)

In honor of Sharkbait I call this “The Sharke Baite” to sound exotic

PHI/TB a very thursdayish affair so far

If there’s no Manningcast, why are they showing CIN-LAR on two ESPN channels?
