Your Placeholder Thread. Now With Game Preview Goodness!

Hey squirrels and boys, this is here until I do all my homework and spill it on to the monitor. Why so late? Well, a business partner wants to live test a new operating system at 10am on a Sunday! Imagine that.

As you suspected, people suck. Update-People are still sucking.

To The Games!

Steelers/Browns:

Garbage-y qb play on both ends makes us look elsewhere. Perhaps we can watch the sack race between Garrett (11) and T.J. Watt(10.5) I guess watching DTR (Down To Run) scramble around for his football life might be entertaining. When is Vegas going to start giving us odds on concussed players?

Cards/Texans:

This is your sneaky good tilt of the early slate. Would anyone have said this even four games ago? Nope. But now Arizonny has Murray back and can put points on the board. And the Texans are beginning to fully understand just how potent their offense is. As with Denver, you can’t judge them by their season-long stats because they’re a different team heading down the stretch. You were very smart to pick up Noah Brown last week or the week before but now you can’t play him. Such is fantasy life.

Titans/Jags:

Such hope for these teams in September but the former has been sunk by shitty qb play and the latter just seems a bit off despite so many pieces in place.

Raiders/Fins:

Mark Davis will be safely esconced in his (pillow) Fort of Everybody Go Away! halfway through the second quarter. Achane is back and ready to roll over Vegas’ generous D. Will Tyreek go for 200? He’s got some work to do to get to 2,000 yards.

Cowboys/Panteros:

This line seems…odd. As I’ve noted before, Dallas really buries lousy teams. (the stumble vs the Cards excepted) DAK! and CeeDee should pad the stat line and while we’re at it, can I get some garbage fantasy points from Theilen in the 3rd and 4th? Carolina should try and pretend they’re going to make the score respectable, right?

Bears/Lions:

If Detroit gets the W they’ll have their best record since way back in ’62. Strawberry Fields’ thumb has been un-dislocated but can he throw a deep or non-wobbly ball? His running would be the key to an upset because the Lions had no answer for LAMAR! a few weeks back.

Chargers/Packers

Can Herbert just have a half-decent coach? Everyone acknowledges the man’s superior talent but his record is 29-29 to date. Jones and Dillon should have a day because the Lions ran for over 200 yards vs defensive coaching genius Staley.

Giants/Commies:

The Giants locker room must feel like a mausoleum at this point. They’ve had shitty years in the past but they’ve never jockeyed for the 1st overall pick since 1981. DeVito, who was shitty at SillyCuse and Illinois is the young boy that can take them to that promised land. And he’ll do it while throwing for less than 140 yards. GAH!

Do your thing.

if I’m in the back seat, trying to eat, and you’re spinning the car so I can’t, I won’t be laughing. when the car comes to a full stop, i’m ramming that fucking sandwich down your throat.

Either reach forward and hit the parking break or shift the car out of drive while the car’s in gear. That’ll teach them.

but that could hurt me, the object is to hurt someone else.

Man that O’Connell interception was Garropolo-esque.

It was the right play, honestly. No upside in taking the sack.

Rule Proposal: For one time, each team has the option to drop a ball from the Blimp. Defense cannot deflect or stop the “pass” but the ball is live if it hits the ground.

For the past two years supporting the military, every goddamn meeting is like that. They LOVE acronyms. I am starting to talk that way at home.

Step 1 – #ThePauls turnover
Step 2 – Progress the ball 2 yards
Step 3 – Punt
Step 4 – BASK in the glow of flipped field position
Step 5 – Wait for the next #ThePauls fuckup

UConn wins by 20, leaving Indiana fans with the blank looks they usually save for when they discover that the gravy boat has a hole in it.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d be worried if I lived in Chicago.

Because I only watch Fox News and therefore think that any “urban” area, (you know what I mean, don’t make me say it), is a dystopian hellscape. Hey, why won’t my grandchildren talk to me?

Is it me or are some of these new “let’s solve some crime” shows basically set up as “Well, the police ain’t doing or gonna do shit, so some random citizens are gonna start investigating and solving shit”?

hippofant

So, realistic then?

“Stround to Tank Dell” is going to become the new “Manning to Dallas Clark.”

Imagine the marketing potential, if only that team actually existed.

I do appreciate the Vertically Enhanced Persons’ commitment to beating the tar shit out of Rebecca Malone.

I didn’t know the Giants were allowed to score touchdowns.

MULTIPLES! In one half, no less!! Cats and dogs living in perfect harmony fo sho

I woke up, tuned in, and I just assumed it was a pick-6 touchdown or something.
