We made it! Actually, it was very easy-everything is shiny and new and wonderful. Unless your disappointing team lost, which they probably did. Damn it!
To The Game!
Rams/Lions:
-All eyes look towards Detroit for the first time since Henry Ford was blaming the Jews for…everything. Those damn Protocols!
-It sorta looked like Stafford was on the downslope, what with nagging injuries piling up but then a certain Nacua popped up out of nowhere, Kyren was a surprise and the whole offense picked it up several notches. They were perhaps the unlikeliest playoff team (after Houston) given what was expected of them at the start of the season.
-It’ll be interesting to see how long McVay has Williams returning punts. Is the return unit that bad? Has rook rb Blake Corum impressed that much? Or is this short term shenanigans for shenanigans sake? Seems an odd choice.
-The Lions have steady vet Goff back there at qb but pretty much everything else is bright, shiny, new and gifted. There’s dynamic talent spilling over everywhere-Gibbs, LaPorta and St. Brown can hang with anyone and barring injury they will at least make it back to the NFC Champeenship. No idea who the GM for Detroit is (and why look it up?) but that guy deserves a raise.
-I haven’t touched on the highly pedigreed(?) Jameson Williams who should make some strides this year given that he’ll never see a #1 db for any long period of time.
-Oh right-you’ll hear this all year long but Goff plays in a dome 14 games this season.
That’s it-it’s all you now.
NO PRESSURE
Everything sucks, everything’s a mess, and I still have to go to work tomorrow.
Time out chicken
Great tackle by the Rams. Dan Campbell should have called the Timeout sooner
Will they be relying on Mister Bates?
Bates is always great with the uprights.
MASTER Bates, when he was younger.
It might be competitive? Both teams might be shitty enough for an even matchup
Perfect example of two negatives making a positive
So what are we thinking? Lions late TD to win, or a Rams turnover to win?
Lions!
yes have some
run out of bounds and incomplete pass, way to clock manage the fuck outta your chances of winning, dipshits
Whenever they hit Stafford’s injured ankle it triggers Detroit negstalgia, like nostalgia but shitty
Ted Nugent of ankles
Underage ankles what?
No you’re thinking of “rolling around in feces to dodge the draft”.
“this may be throw of the year!” IT IS WEEK 1 CRIS SHUT THE FUCK UP
Durant showing why he’s a defensive back and not a receiver
probably should stick to basketball, too
Rams inside the 10. How are they gonna fuck it up THIS time?
Turns out that TD was only worth 5 points
Too many ways to count! Happy Birthday to you, my pelagic friend!
Thanks!!
catch, barely
I think I’m just being picky, but this game is nawt holding my attention as well as the Thursday and Friday prime time games did
It’s the first weekend! Have your previous Sunday nights been that much better?
I think it’s more a testament to how good the Thursday and Friday games ended up being
Plus I’m down to 87% win because of Kupp, lol
I’m down to 16% because of Goff and Pucua.
Oof
It’s been enjoyable. Lots of big hits, some first downs. Neither was prevalent in the Fins game
But enough about ArmedandHammered’s bong post…

All things considered, this has been a good game
Lions Dont Get Called For Interference In The Endzone Challenge (mega impossible)
Bailed out by the offensive line.
1 Kuppdown pls
P Anthony Johnston spent the same amount of snaps in a Stillers uniform as Qaron has as a Jet thus far.
Say what you will about peacock, but I’d rather look at their b-roll drone footage of NFL stadiums during ad breaks rather than actual ads.
“Did someone say drone footage? Were the Canadian women national team involved?”.
–Canadian sports media–
And how does this effect the Maple Leafs playoff chances?
Looked at some of the footage and the Guardian cap looks fine, hope more players start wearing them. Apparently the cover with the team logo that the NFL requires makes them hotter, but that seems fixable and could even be a plus when the weather gets colder
So like a scrum cap but worse
Woo! I want Goff to do well since I’m probably going to be starting him in my superflex while Love is recovering from being ded
First SNF. This’ll be interesting.
But, probably won’t be.
Nacua ded so maybe?
My sincerest apologies for jinxing Nacua.
Once again, I recommend Dungy share parenting tips with Cris.
And Cris’s dad. Fuck it.
And Archie Manning.
And …
Because he looks and sounds like Stone Cold Steve Austin, dipshits.
BTW, Stone Cold’s videos with his farm cat are great.
There’s gotta be loads of video of the Tyreek thing, right?
You would think

https://twitter.com/NolanFried73315/status/1832789458988433468#m
Kickoff also being what that bike cop tried to do to Tyreek’s head.
Props to the people in his replies telling him to get paid after NFLGameDay asked to use his video.
shoudl also they had to admit having chest cam footage, but well see what quality of it is
Or if the cams were inexplicably off…
It will mysteriously vanish or the camera didn’t work.
Oh, police are investigating internally. Then everything will be fine.
I was just thinking the other day about when a bunch of Miami cops lit up a UPS van, killing the suspect, hostage, and some poor bystander in another vehicle. I fucking hate cops.
yeah point blank in 4 lane traffic stopped
They were literally using bystanders’ cars for cover. With people in them!
“We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing “
Waiting for Draftkings to offer odds on whether hes charged or not
The only job where ‘suspended with pay’ is somehow considered a punishment
Faphew strikes again
It has cooled off to 98° (that’s 37 in loonies) so it’s time to walk the dog.
Let the dog walk itself
Nice try, rocking dog
She’s smart enough to actually do it, but she’s happiest being wherever we are so she’d never go anywhere if we didn’t.
Whoopsies!

I loved that show.
Oh, Fatty Matty, that was an ugly INT.
Holy damn this is excellent.
Oooh, have not had that! I’m guessing from the name that it’s single barrel?
I would assume so! My friend and his wife came over for the early games and gave it to me. I’ll have to do some digging on it.
Japanese whisky is amazingly good.

Interesting!
Oh didn’t see Belicheck will be on the Manningcast tomorrow night and all season. real grumble fuck to Brady
Pretty adorable
So young and already trying to murder humans. <3
we’ve only just begun…
2017 was how long ago!?!
.
Everything I’m seeing about the Bears game refers to ‘Simone Biles’s husband’ and it’s pretty excellent
be better if it was ex husband, here’s to next year
If you want to try and pick up Simone I’ll totally wingperson for ya
For a few weeks last year she was the best thing we had going
I got nothing against Dan Campbell, but he’s got the bright red nose of your a bit too handsy drunk uncle.
Today I learned that there are people named Levi who aren’t Amish at all!
It’s always fun when you arrive at a bar and like 8 people are all “OMG HEYYYYYYYYY WE HAVEN’T SEEN YOU SINCE LAST SEASON!!!”
And me not having any memory of meeting these people. Free drinks were had, hands shook, hugs made.
I have to start visiting your bar.
I’m up for the Dolphins game. Join us!
Ayo, you come too!
Let’s do it!
Good to know that past you was awesome

My parents have no conception of Southern California geography, so they assume that every wildfire, mudslide, or other event is happening like a block away from me.
If I step outside, wait a second I’ll go do that now…
Look, that’s Palos Verdes where the cliffs are sliding into the ocean.
That’s never happened before!
Walks 20 blocks to Sunken City.
And THIS is where Pedro fell into the ocean in the 1920’s.
LOS ANGELES: [is 102°]
DR. MRS. DEADLY: [internal monologue] What a perfect time to rearrange everything inside the refrigerator!
Seems reasonable actually, great way for her to stay cool
“Rikki, can you set the oven to ‘cold’?”
Okay Tyreek Hill can die in a team bus fire but this touchdown celebration is MINT.
I’m super curious for more details to come out
Very curious about that video of what looks like a cop kicking him.
And apparently they also handcuffed one of his teammates (a DT) for stepping in
Celebrating the start of my 39th lap around the sun with football, some pizza and a Japanese whisky.
HBDYFF!
Kanpai!
I too am looking forward to celebrating this year’s birthday with some fluid that can be obtained via a vending machine in Japan.
It’s kind of liberating to expect nothing other than complete mediocrity from the Raiders this year. Someone could crash a sportscar into the back of the team bus at 156 mph and kill everyone aboard in a gruesome fire and I’d just shrug and say “at least they should get some decent compensatory picks out of it.”
Wait…is the Raiders’ team bus an old Corvair?
unsafe at any speed
Davis would totally put them in Pintos
Henry Ruggs is currently unavailable to complete your request.
Talk about Dead Money
Al Davis would salute that type of speed being involved with his team
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yarrr
GOTCHA SEXY SUNDAY RIGHT HERE
Hox won, also were my suicide pick while half in every league lost with the Bungles, got 13 picks correct against the spread in my pick’em league, and I’m over 65% in both FF leagues for a win. This is a ROCKING NFL kickoff weekend!
I’m 98% and 99% in my leagues, despite Yahoo draft grades of C- and D, so feeling pretty damn vindicated even though it’s against notoriously unreliable AI generated content
That’s damn good. I won the Vodka league with an autodraft that got a shitty draft grade. Hoping to avoid relegation this year.
How does an autodraft get a shitty grade? That’s a Yahoo self-own for sure
Right? I’m like you’re the one that picked the first kicker in the 5th round, and then followed that up by picking another kicker in the last round, but never picking a defense. Stupid Yahoo.
My rookie QB outscored Jalen Hurts 27-19.
I’ve got your C+ draft grade for reaching too high for Daniels SWINGING, Yahoo!
Saquon had his way with me this week.
I’m amazed I was able to pick him up in the second round
just checked, am ahead in Maths is Hard solely due to that Jerome Ford garbage TD run.
30 people injured when a 73 year old man tried driving away after his visit to the Elks club.

It’s so cool that they’re driving trucks with hoods at my eye line, which is around six feet high. The average American is, what, 5’7” for men?
Perfectly normal. Perfectly healthy society.
Can’t wait until I don’t have to drive ever again.
It will never stop being awesome how Stafford left Detroit and immediately won a Super Bowl
Yes. It was indeed awesome.
My disappointing team lost, but in a way that I’m pretty happy with! Although I hope someone straps Jayden Daniels into a securely fitting Guardian helmet before next week.
Commies can only spring for vintage

How is it that when I go to the store, there are 17 different types of apples, but mangoes are still just “red” or “honey?” Come the fuck on.
Big Apple is squeezing out all the other fruit
I still can’t believe that Detroit is considered “good”.
I mean, “NFC good” – but that’s still pretty good.
I’m glad they are though, they’re one of the least hateable teams that’s been horrible in recent memory
