Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

First things first: I don’t think TayTay will be at the game but the parents will be! Hurrah!

T’was a fairly entertaining Sunday if I say so myself-let’s dig in.

Fallout:

-Nice Bench You Got There: Mind if I have a seat? This is Milf Lover’s third sitting down in just over a calendar year. Is this another, “He just needs to figure things out and he’ll be back” scenario? Nope. Finally Saleh has seen the light so Siemien is holding the tablet when Tim Boyle starts sucking. I’m guessing you’ll see Trevor soon enough because the 29 yr old Boyle puts the ‘barely adequate’ into journeyman. He’s not a pocket escape artist and his yards per attempt in three starts and 16 appearances sits at 5.1.

-The 4-6 Falcons (2nd in the NFC South!) are determined to get middling results the rest of the way by putting middling qb Ridder back under center. There just aren’t nearly enough good qb’s to support this league.

-Whiff of Joe Judge: “I have full confidence…in myself as the playcaller. So you can stop asking that question.” Telling reporters to shut up is certainly the sign of a man completely in charge/on top of a situation. (I don’t want to be fair to the bum but the Chargers wr’s dropped 4 passes that I saw)

-We’ve used this space to talk about Tomlin’s weird mofo but what about Stefanski’s? How did the Browns get to 7-3? They seem more like 4-6 to me. Watson wasn’t setting the world on fire before his injury, he was actually kinda lousy. And then yesterday Down To Run ugly-ed up the place something fierce and yet got the W. I guess something always has to stink in Cleveland.

To The Game!

Eagles/Chiefs:

-If you don’t have a fantasy guy in this game you’re likely straddling last place in your league. (I very nearly resemble that remark)

-Good Old Stat Updated: With his team resting for a week (regular and post-season) Andy’s record now stands at 31-6.

-Of course look for the “Brotherly Shove”. It gets quite a bit of attention but any play in any sport that is 90% successful should be highlighted.

-Trench Warfare: The Eagles o-line is 2nd (PFF tells us) in pass-blocking efficiency but Chiefs DC Spags mirrors that-his unit is 2nd in pressure rate at 28.2%. It’s defending the run which is K.C.’s problem.

-Top Heavy (but not like Marika): No Chiefs ball-grabber aside from Kelce and Rice have over 280 yards receiving. That means that the 3rd leading receiver averages 31.1 yards a game. Oof!

Go get ’em!
