Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

It’s the opening offering of week 8! Can you believe it’s week 8 already? (lousy running joke is lousy) The trade deadline is coming on Tuesday and there’s plenty of scuttlebutt. Let’s take a look.

Tidbits:

-Mill of Rumor: The Ravens are reportedly mad about King Henry because Bus Edwards, Hill and Gordon aren’t cutting it. The run game looks good but that’s because Lamar! is responsible for 35% of it which is too damn high! One problem is that the Ravens don’t have enough cap room so they’ll have to send some player back to make it work.

-Vrabel has indicated that he’ll play both Willis and Leavis this week. Dude must be secure in his job because that reeks of desperation. It always works, that’s why it’s used so often!

-There are no teams on bye this week because the NFL sked makers are clowns.

-Get ‘Em While They’re Hot!-Or underperforming, or without a contract, or unhappy, or don’t fit the scheme, or need a change of scenery or have lived out their usefulness. Those on that list include Hunter Renfrow, Jerry Jeudy, Mike Evans, Austin Ekeler, Zack Moss, Chase Young and a few others.

To The Game!

Bucs/Bills:

-Does this not strike you as a weird game? When I saw it I was a bit taken aback. I had no reference for these teams together. And you know what, Tampa has been around since ’76 but this is only the third time they’ve wandered over Buffalo way.

-Both teams come into the game with records that are a bit surprising-Buffalo has lost 2 of 3 and struggled against the Giants and the Bucs just seem like a 1-5 team. Maybe that’s because I don’t follow them too closely.

-Progress!: After being very last in the league in 2022 in rushing yards per game the Tampa brain trust sat down, went over all the analytics, took a good hard look at the offense and vowed to make changes. And you know what? It worked-they’re 29th so far this year.

-You may want to sit James Cook-the Bucs stop the run to the tune of allowing only 95.8 ypg.

-The Bills just might open up the offense tonight because they have no choice. You see, they’ve been playing 12 personnel (2 tight end looks) most of the season but tonight they have only Dalton Kincaid at that position. Let those balls fly!

As far as your balls? Fondle ’em if you got ’em.

Most of my pictures came out shitty, but this one shows a couple of the giant aliens Rob Zombie had looming around on his stage. It was a fun show!

Who stole the show, or were they equally fun?

Equal!

Raining like crazy. No run, gym rat lifting. And as a public service announcement…

Ah, the simpler times of the 1990s, when terrorism is an excuse for a Dr. Crusher plot.

Same for it’s Northern counterpart.

You will never get that annoying “OUT OF BAKING SODA” notification again

I’ve had it for over a year and just discovered it has a fully working filtered water dispenser. I think it’s been sending me text messages on my phone.

Nope

We know what Brick’s handing out on Tuesday evening.

I read somewhere today that Baltimore wants to trade for el Tractorcito. The DonT v. Fozz battle will be epic when the former swims over to the mainland to burn the latter’s hometown down to the studs.

Mr. Ayo

I still can’t stop laughing at Blax calling PR “Island Mexico”

Senor Weaselo

Hey, but it means Fozz won’t have to watch Emily in Paris.

jjfozz

Fuck that. I am watching all of it, because I’m a stubborn fuck and it makes me feel miserable. First Season review being brewed in my brain as we speak. God I fucking hate that show.

I have several questions. Why was the punter involved in a fight and who was “brave” enough to take on the punter?

When did Green Day become “one of the biggest acts of all time”?

Dude.

WCS

We’s old.

Sharkbait

A friend was at the When We Were Young festival in Vegas highlighted by Green Day. I hated that I recognized all the acts from my high school days.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s better than recognizing that you hate all the acts from your high school days.

WCS

Not all, but a troubling amount for certain.

Seems all kinds of wrong

Like seeing “Lust for Life” used to advertise a cruise line.

BugEyedBoo

Great minds think alike. Then there’s us.

Being stuck on a cruise ship WOULD make one thirsty for heroine, tho

Depends on the cruise ship

Hey did ya’ll hear? The Senators player who didnt have a contract, turns out it’s not because the team is broke (though that might still be true) it’s because he plays for such a milquetoast franchise that has left him so unfulfilled in life that he turned to gambling, on professional sprots! And got suspended for half the season!

Sharkbait

I hope he at least used Betway™ the official helmet sponsor of the Ottawa Senators!

Janay Rice would like to apologize for her role in this.

jjfozz

Today a friend of mine posted a picture of her father on Facebook, he had recently died.

I think he had a stroke or something at some time, because in the picture his left eye was completely off kilter.

First thing I thought, after reading all the comments was, “Why in fuck has no one asked about what’s up with his eye?”

I really am worried about my brain.

To Fozz’s Thanksgiving thing, I’ve told my mom four times that we’re coming for Thanksgiving and she keeps sending me passive aggressive texts about how “if” I “make it into town” for thanksgiving, then we can catch up on x, y, z.

Kinda making the case for not returning.

Sharkbait

Not this year, but next year I’m trying to convince my family to go to the Caribbean for thanksgiving. Its all about being together and the food, why not be together with good food where the weather doesn’t suck?
