Fancy Another? Your Afternoon Window of NFL Tilts Open Thread

The hits just keep on coming!*

*resulting in bruises, contusions, aches, pains, concussions, sprains and surgeries

We’ve a few more matchups, let’s take a quick glance.

To The Games!

Raiders/Chargers:

I almost took Vegas in my ‘loser’ pool because of the QB situation, the general turdmoil and especially the distraction to the team that is the slow-moving disaster of the Chandler Jones saga. Turns out the Raiders concerns were quite valid and they responded-although ham-handedly-by inquiring into his well-being in person. (which Jones laughed off) Where was I? Oh, I’m sure Vegas is going to come up short here but you know one team that can come up shorter? The Chargers. Their ability to underwhelm at any given point in the schedule or during a game is unparalleled. So much talent, so little gumption.

Pats/Cowboys:

How does one respond to the ambush/letdown that was last week’s loss to the Cards? Prop-wise I’d take Zeke’s 27.5 rushing number every time. He had 16 carries last week and was more efficient than Stevenson. Am I missing something here? Right, the vagaries of Belichick’s player usage. I trust that he’ll ride him into the ground though. Keep an eye on the very banged up 0-line of the Cowboys.

Cards/Niners:

“They Never Stood a Chance”. That’s the obituary of the game for Arizona today. Play any and all of your San Fran fantasy assets and sit back and rest easy, though I’m sure it won’t be pretty to watch.

Stay safe out there on your couch.

So my friend and her husband are back visiting family/friends and she, a Jets fan, and he, a Chiefs fan (he’s originally from Kansas) are at the game.

I can imagine only one of them is enjoying this.

jjfozz

Mrs. Fozz bought a decorative pillow that says “hello fall” and we’ve been making fun of her for an hour

jjfozz

“is Travis Kelce playing? I want to watch!”

Mrs. Fozz is testing my patience to the goddamn nth degree.

Horatio Cornblower

So I dropped Mrs. Horatio and daughter off at the airport and then of, hey, whaddya know, that brewery I like just opened a palace 13 minutes away, so it was two beers there, (Dudleytown Brewing in Windsor, CT: Highly recommend), while sitting next to a dude who clearly had bet way too much on the Eagles and was paying way to little attention to his gorgeous girlfriend, who really just wanted to have a beer and some food truck BBQ, and then I had to dash home and feed the pets, lest they feel orphaned, before dashing back up the street to a hotel at UConn so that a friend of a friend could make his part-time bartending job look legit on a football Sunday and after all of that all I have to say is that the Dallas offense is mediocre at best but thank Xene The Legend of White Mac is somehow ever worse.

HOW THE FUCK YOU DOIN’, BOYS!?!?

King Hippo

That N-GCp at Tomsulas NFC Title game will be killer

Horatio Cornblower

Dallas isn’t going to be anywhere near the title game. Defense is completely covering up for what a hack McCarthy is, and that will catch up with them.

King Hippo

Vodka Hippo needs FOUR LOUSY POINTS from Mahomes, to send GTD to 0-4. Ah sure do love being 3-1 in the “no money league where I did nae prepare and expend zero brain cells” and 1-3 in my moneyed/auction league.

LemonJello

The lesson, as always, is: Never Try.

jjfozz

“Hmmm, how can we sell Jeeps to white folks?”
“Tupac Shakur should do it!”

Senor Weaselo

Hey, they made an arrest, so he’s still relevant!

Gumbygirl

Why did Samuel go down?

fleshwound_NPG

when was the last time either franchise did anything smart, on or off the field?

Mr. Ayo

Never go full Farva

fleshwound_NPG

LOL RAIDAAAHHHS

King Hippo

Also, why did the pickerceptor go down? That whole organization is moe-rons.

Gatoraids

Draft king getting more bets on what Taytay is wearing than on the jets

King Hippo

CHRIST AND SONNY JEEBUS, THAT CLIPS COACH DID THE SAME IDJIT THING? DOES HE NOT KNOW THE OPPONENT THIS WEEK HAS NO QB???

fleshwound_NPG

and his own qb has a hand thats dead

Gumbygirl

Is he trying to get fired?

King Hippo

It has to be a cry for help.

fleshwound_NPG

raidahhs/bolts kinda good?

King Hippo

Hippo was 74/26 to win at 4:45 EST. I still had Aiyuk (meh), guess which Tomsulas player Alex had??

This is how you go 1-3 with CJ Stroud, Davante Adams, and Justin Jefferson. My one win was by 101 goddamned points.

Mr. Ayo

I’m down 72. But I still have Geno!

King Hippo

You’re so money, and you don’t even know it!

Horatio Cornblower

As good as that movie in there isn’t a character in it, other than Sue, that I wouldn’t fistfight at the drop of a hat.

Sue is that quiet guy that stands in the back while his asshole friends act like assholes and then he comes in late and absolutely cleans house.

Gumbygirl

Bless your heart.

LemonJello

Deuce Vaughn looks like a Make-A-Wish kid standing there next to his O-Line. He’s almost twee.

Horatio Cornblower

This is total bullshit, Scotchnaut.

I haven’t eaten McDonald’s in years.

Mr. Ayo

She’s the cheese one. Brie Larson.

Gumbygirl

The cheese one!

LemonJello

Brie Larson and the stunt driver thank you.

fleshwound_NPG
