Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Well, here we are. We had to gas up once and the little ones needed a few pee breaks but we’ve arrived at our destination. [looks out window] “Green Bay? Got damn it!”

To The Game!

Chiefs/Packers:

-Something to say Tomorrow: “Hey, did you know that under Lafleur the Packers record is 15-1?” (you see, they’re currently 15-0 but that ‘nil’ figure is going to get adjusted)

-Chiefs DC Spags’ blitz packages include sending the db’s about 20% of the time. Love has coped well with this strategy in that he leads the NFL in first down rate when attacks come from the secondary.

-Things finally look good for wr Rashee Rice-Reid’s offense is notoriously hard for rook wr’s to pick up but Rice had his first 100 yard day last week. The Pack have let St. Brown and Keenan Allen have big days the last two weeks so get that Rice off your bench and into your lineup.

-Sacks in Bunches: The Chiefs o-line best keep an eye on Rashan Gary. Last week he had his second three sack game of the season.

-The regular story for Kansas City for a few years has been that they will just outscore you, wipe their hands and that is that. That’s just not the case this year, the most points they’ve given up so far is a mere 24.

-Perfect!: Harrison Butker hasn’t missed a field goal or PAT so far this year. JINX!

-Of the two you’d think that Mahomes would be the one leading the league in completions of 30+ yards but Love is the drug when the Packers need to score. I wouldn’t have gotten that one if I had a dozen tries.

-One of the Packer fan sites has a regular feature called “For Cheddar or Wurst”. I love a good bad pun. Or is it a bad good pun?

Type away.
