Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

So many things going on at the same time in the sport that unites us on this here blog. Let’s Go!

Fallout:

-The Narrative has, rightly, been blowing up the efforts of Dobbs and Stroud for putting together thrilling performances under adverse conditions. Myself, I’ve never, ever said, “I got to watch those Texan highlights again!” But of course, due to inexperienced qb’s getting put in before they’re ready, there was some atrocious play. Oh, Dobbs has been announced as the starter next week, ostensibly for his heroics but really because the Vikes have no other options.

-Speaking of no options, DeVito is the clear starter for the Giants until he gets crushed behind the worst o-line in football. You may say that’s hyperbole but then I’d ask you to actually name one. The Next Victim Up is Matt Barkley, who last played in 2020 and hasn’t started since 2018.

-I hate to pile on the league’s rb’s now that their status, for the most part, has been assigned as ‘interchangeable’ but only one of their clan rushed for 100 yards yesterday. Just one. Here’s a few team-leading runners and their totals-Mixon 37, JT 47, Freeman 32, Bijan 51, Taysom 52, Singletary 26, Walker 16 and Tune 28.

-Beware Baltimore: They’ve beaten Seattle and Detroit (two teams that should make the playoffs and will certainly be above .500 at year’s end) by a combined score of 75-9.

-Black Magic Mike: There have been 34 teams that have been outgained in their first 8 games of the season. The Steelers are the only squadoo that has a winning record.

-The Texans have reached 4-4, thrilling their one dementia-ed fan that thinks that they’re Sam Houston-he was such a nice boy-but they do have the Browns D, the Jets, Jags and Bengals on the sked ahead.

To The Game!

Chargers/Jets:

-Somehow, New York can get to within a half game of the lead in the AFC East with a win tonight.

-That drooling sound you heard was Mack and Bosa after they heard that the Jets are on their fifth set of o-line starters so far this year.

-Watch Donald Parham vulture a TD. Actually, it would be his 5th this year so he wouldn’t really be a vulture at that point would he?

-Breece is a beast in the run game, cruising along at 5.7ypc but that comes to a screeching halt in the red zone where the team is last in the league in converting scoring opportunities.

-Darius Davis’, a Chargers starting wr, receiving prop earlier this week was 7 yards. It’s since climbed to 17 or so but it still looks good.

-Sudbury, Ontario (not Vegas) has Staley’s ‘bone-headed decision that compromises his team’s chances to win’ at 1.5.

Now get out there and have some fun!

yeah right

So I won 60 bucks and drank for free with some great company.

Our dealer was an assassin but her relief was seriously fucked up. Dude was dropping cards and he hit when holding a hard 17 and busted.

I whisper spoke to the table to bet this motherfucker up and everyone of us profited while he dealt.
Last time when he left the machine came back to deal and I cashed the fuck out.

I would say it’s off to bed but this fucking place doesn’t stop playing live music outside your window until 5 in the fucking morning. Not a good place for sleeping.

Heading home tomorrow.

Great fucking time.

yeah right

One final round of black jack?

Well, alright.

Mr. Ayo

Double down on 9

yeah right

Especially if the dealer is holding a 4,5 or 6.

yeah right

Dammit. The crew left for home leaving only brick and myself.

So?

Top fucking shelf steakhouse with a view of the entire downtown from the 24th floor.
Killer bottle of wine, filet mignon, French onion soup, some bone marrow on crostini, and old school Vegas service.

Yesterday it was a chili dog at the sports book.

Vegas is a town of contrasts.

Thanks Brick! That was an incredible meal experience.

Home tomorrow.

I picked up South-of-OC’s defense since this week and they scored me 26 points, leading my team to victory. Time to dump their sorry ass and see if the Raiders are available to pick up next week.

Gumbygirl

Keyshawn is a big zit on PeyPey on that prediction board.

Sharkbait

Fuck me. I had CJ Stroud in 2 leagues and Im going to lose both matchups because everyone else did fuck all

Mr. Ayo

You could be Hippo.

Senor Weaselo

If it makes you feel better, so did Dok.

Sharkbait

Also I loved Letterkenny, but haven’t watched Shorsey yet. I clearly need to.

ballsofsteelandfury

Dude.

Shoresy is better.

Horatio Cornblower

Shoresy is better, and Letterkenny is terrific.

Redshirt

Is this MNF game mandatory? Based on the stats I have some reservations about watching.

Mr. Ayo

It is no longer mandatory. Proceed accordingly.

Redshirt

Oh, good. Due to last night’s game and me driving my friend back home and waking up early to help my dad get ready for work, I didn’t get much sleep. I still went to work, but I cannot guarantee it was at my actual place of employment.

(grabs teddy bear)

Happy footballing!

Gumbygirl

Sweet dreams!

fleshwound_NPG

only if youre interested in what happens more: a chargering or a jesting

fleshwound_NPG

jest is eternal!

Game Time Decision

I hope they get shipped

Horatio Cornblower

Might want to watch S2, big hoss.

fleshwound_NPG

maybe not have receivers run deep-ish routes to nowhere and requiring milf hunter z to hold the ball for more than 2 seconds

Game Time Decision

Saleh has had the life sucked out of him by the Jets. Poor guy, he deserves a better chance

hippofant

Saleh’s gonna go back to being just a DC after this and will never look back again.

Sharkbait

2nd best bit, behind Log

Gumbygirl

It’s better than bad, it’s good!

hippofant

I’m really not sure putting Keenan Allen on pre-snap orbit motions really threatens the defense horizontally, Kellen.

hippofant

Oh no, Keenan Allen caught an unblocked screen pass 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, we’re screwed now!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

If I’ve only watched 1.8 seasons of Letterkenny, can I watch Shoresy or do I need to make it further in the former to get the latter?

Game Time Decision

As long as you know who Shoresy is, it’s fine

ballsofsteelandfury

Yup, you only need to know very few facts about Shoresy from Letterkenny. Besides, he’s not really a regular character. Maybe an appearance twice a season?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Pitter Patter.

Horatio Cornblower

Really don’t even need to know that. They introduce the Shoresy character in the first 5 minutes with some quick exposition, then you’re off to the races.

BugEyedBoo

You don’t need any Letterkenny, Shoresy stands up by itself.

fleshwound_NPG

apparently milf hunter z need even more motivation than that to overcome a bad o-line. he likes slinging it to wilsons on the field, eh? how bout one named nancy off the field, in fishnets and an old ovation?

Sharkbait

This is what I get for placing my hopes and needs in the hands of the J-E-T-E Jets

fleshwound_NPG

the milf hunter z needs some damn motivation to make a game outta thiscomment image

King Hippo

Seeing the shoulders on that pic downstream, I am starting to think I am refusing to watch Letterkenny and Shoresy out of sheer spite.

Still refusing, mind.

Horatio Cornblower

Your loss. There’s an impossible amount of good-looking girls in Sudbury.

Game Time Decision

Allegedly

BugEyedBoo

There damn sure is in the Shoresy Cinematic Universe.

WCS

Back to chorin.

ballsofsteelandfury

Why????????

BugEyedBoo

About an hour of Youtube will take care of Letterkenny. But you should watch Shoresy.

Mr. Ayo

Same. But I refuse to subscribe to Hulu.

ballsofsteelandfury

Dude, La Liga is on Hulu!

Mr. Ayo

To be fair, I did not know this.

ballsofsteelandfury

You can get Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+ with the Hulu Bundle. Only $15 a month.

Mr. Ayo

Hmm, already have ESPN+. Guess that settles it.

Mr. Ayo

And they won’t take my credit card. Assholes.

Doktor Zymm

On my flight out of Vegas, so will be missing this fixture, but can’t say that I’m all that disappointed when I’m still kinda exhausted from yesterday.

I do wish the Seabirds had picked a different week to revert to the mean, but really my biggest loss for the weekend was getting an overpriced massage in the sportsbook during Bills/Bengalis

fleshwound_NPG

this is a very not good game but ya know what

what else is gonna prepare me for thursday

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Cyanide?

King Hippo

I wonder how much Amazon will pay Chi**** to duct tape Strawberry Fields’ thumb/hand together so he can play.
