Carlson Brothers Kickaroo! Your Monday Night Football Open Thread

What? Did you think I’d do the overdone ‘revenge game’ thingy? That’s so tired-just like I was last night after so much football yesterday.

So I got all stupid in Freezer Vodka and benched Ridley (122 yards) for Jameson Williams (2 yards) so I’m going to lose. I’m doing penance for being so ‘cute’-this includes wearing a short-hemmed sundress with a panda print and twirling a parasol all day around the house. Them’s the rules.

Fallout:

-With Milano’s injury yesterday and White’s last week, the Buffalo D doesn’t look nearly as formidable. Milano was fantastic at getting to the ball carrier so you can play rb’s comfortably going forward.

-One advantage to the Giants woes is that neither Kafka or Martindale will be a part of the offseason coach’s carousel of interviews. Who would bring them on board? Wink can’t get his guys to tackle and they just got their first turnover in week 5. Kafka’s play-calling has become increasingly conservative but that may be out of necessity. After all, the team has backup o-linemen playing in unfamiliar positions.

-It’s just five weeks in but LaPorta is trending towards having the most fantasy points of any rookie tight end. At this rate his 244 points would top Keith Jackson’s 209 points. I think we’ll see more and more freshman te’s being significant fantasy assets. It wasn’t long ago that rookie wideouts (dynasty aside) were hardly ever considered but then along came the likes of Julio, A.J. Green, OBJ, A.J. Brown, Chase and Jefferson.

-Bill Belichick is in a tough spot and I don’t see the way out. He’s fallen into that familiar circumstance of a defensive coach that has too much influence on how the offense is run and it shows. That, and the inability to identify dynamic talent at the wr spot have really hurt him in the division.

To The Game!

Packers/Raiders:

-Aaron Jones is unlikely to play? That news popped up today seemingly out of nowhere.

-That’s ok, they’ve got Dillon and his season-to-date 2.7 ypc number to rely on. If he struggles maybe we’ll see more of uh, Patrick Taylor?

-Wouldn’t it be great if the brothers Carlson decided the game in the late going? Has anyone thought of that Narrative? If it did happen I’d be all for it because it would mean that we have a close game.

-Ok, fine. I’ll talk about it. Though Jaire Alexander won’t be on him all the time a matchup between him and Davante Adams would be interesting just because they know each other so well.

-They don’t play each other that often but the Raiders haven’t come away with a W since 1987.

-Green Bay can’t afford another slow start-in the last two first halves they’ve been down a total of 44-3.

-Love’s 59.1% completion rate is offset by the fact that he’s tied with Cousins in passes over 30 yards with nine.

Do your thing.
