Your Skinny Late Slate Open Thread

A mere three games to whet your whistle. Business as usual I guess. How many qb’s died or had near-death experiences in the early games? More Rookie QB’s Need To Play, I say.

To The Games!

Bucs/Niners:

Did you know that Tampa has the league’s best red zone D? Doesn’t seem right somehow, does it? That’s what my homework tells me. Speaking of homework, maybe a certain company’s IT department could have done some work ahead and checked the name of the file they sent over to us. Or maybe the cb’s/safeties allow longer throws? Play your Godwins and Evans’s’s-as a whole the San Fran secondary has allowed a 73% catch rate the last three weeks. While their run D is something to behold they surrender wee passes to rb’s on a regular basis so Rashaad should be good.

Jets/Bills:

I guess the Buffalo O has to be called The Brady Bunch because it’s simple and expected and I thought of it so naturally a lazy sportswriter would phone in as well. All that remains is who is going to play Alice? My vote is for Khalil Shakir. Them Jets haven’t scored a TD in two straight so to remedy the situation they (among other things) jettisoned Michael Carter and activated Israel Abanikanda, the speedy fella/rook out of Pitt. The Bills, thanks mostly to Josh’s regression, have 18 turnovers so far, good for second league-wise. Expect more today.

Seahawks/Rams:

I had the Rams as my sneaky good team at the beginning of the year, thinking that it would be hard to get the O off the field because of the two masterful chain-movers they have in Nacua and Kupp. (and maybe to a lesser extent in Tutu) But lo, another Fatt injury derailed that train of thought. Stafford should be looking over his shoulder at Boye Mafa, who has a sack in seven straight games.

Enjoy.
