Let’s Keep It Rolling-Your Next Football Open Thread

There are three contests on offer-let’s take a looky-loo.

To The Games!

Rams/Cards:

With Nacua out early in the game last week Kupp had an insane 21(!) targets. So I guess the latter is going to get overworked until he goes down with another wear and tear injury then? As a football guy he’s not exactly a spring chicken. Ever notice that these wr’s that rack up insane catch totals tend to get injured the following year? Kupp and Michael Thomas come immediately to mind. Perhaps the pigskin should be spread to Robinson and Tyler Johnson-just a thought. I’ll bet Harrison Jr wants a do-over on his debut-three targets and a dropped pass?

Steelers/Broncos:

Fields responded about as well as he possibly could have last week, hitting the 74% mark on completions and doing the usual running for 57 yards. Najee is a notoriously slow starter in the month of September (46.1 avg.) but was able to turn that around with a 70+ effort. Ballhog Pickens had 85 yards receiving, the rest of the team combined had 71.

Bengals/Chiefs:

This is a fantastic game two years ago. Burrow didn’t look good last week but he was missing some weapons. In related news, Tee Higgins is incredulous that some folks would think that he’s faking an injury. He’s out again today. Start Xavier Worthy at your own risk-he had remarkable production but that was on three touches and a completely blown coverage assignment. Kelce needs just seven receptions to tie Gonzo for the career mark. To say that K.C. got lucky at the tight end spot, having two all-timers over the last twenty years, is an understatement.

Do your thing.

Bo Nix — the JP Losman of the 2024 draft class!

LemonJello

NIX PIX!!!!

WCS

BEAUEX PIX

Doktor Zymm

FAT GUY TD!

Doktor Zymm

Aw hey, look at Nix getting a self-esteem boost!

Doktor Zymm

Aww, that didn’t last long

Mr. Ayo

#FixNixPix

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m pretty overjoyed that only two weeks into the season and I no longer have to worry about the Raiders going 0-17.

blaxabbath

They’re gonna drop the Falcons.

Doktor Zymm

Mr. Trump was on the course, a few hundred yards away, when Secret Service personnel opened fire on a suspect, who fled the scene in a vehicle and was later taken into custody, law enforcement officials said at a briefing. A rifle with a scope was recovered from the bushes, officials said, along with a camera. A Secret Service representative, Rafael Barros, said it was not yet clear if the suspect had fired any shots.”

I wonder if this is going to turn out to be another dumb kid who thinks spree shooting is too easy? It’s entirely possible that taking shots at Trump is going to be the new fashion for those types so they can prove they’re better than the aural assassin

WCS

That’s what happened here.

Some Gen-Z or whatever is going to see themselves as the next Princip somewhere, and see an opportunity and exploit it.

ArmedandHammered

This is in Florida right? Probably just Florida Man trying to find a ground hog, possum, or squirrel to fill the pot. And he was just awestruck being near his idol.

blaxabbath

If the next two assassination attempts are thwarted because some kid started his live-stream too early, I’m good with that progress.

Bogdanski

Jesus christ, another assassination attempt on Trump? WTF?

WCS

Consequences of his actions. He started the MAGA Train; buy the ticket, take the ride.

No sympathy.

Doktor Zymm

Ditto. Reap what you sow

Bogdanski

Absolutely. Genuinely confused now about hoping for third time being the something something

yeah right

I admire your restraint.

ArmedandHammered

He keeps setting them up so they can fail and he gets a bump in the polling numbers.

Bogdanski

Surprisingly, there wasn’t much of a bump last time. Who knows now?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’ll get even less interest; he wasn’t even shot at.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

[shrugs]

It’s a sign that he should probably retire from politics, but otherwise nobody really cares.

Horatio Cornblower

Seriously. Two people were willing to risk death to take you out. Take a fucking hint.

Dunstan

GOP: “It is outrageous to suggest that us stirring up hatred against Haitian immigrants is in any way linked to bomb threats.”

Also GOP: “These assassination attempts are the Democrats’ fault for presuming to run against Trump.”

blaxabbath

Sometimes you need to get a quick easy score to kind of get your mojo back.

I suggest whoever needs that advice should maybe assassinate JD Vance.

Don T

The youtuber puppet who is a fictional character, Jerry Dee Vance, tuna upholsterer.

Horatio Cornblower

If someone does assassinate Vance my first suspect would be Trump. Because Vance is fucking killing him.

ArmedandHammered

Yep. But hey, he made his pick, gotta stand by your decision. LOL, like he has ever stood by his decision. I would love to see him panic and dump Vance just before the election and bring on Loomer as his VP choice.

Horatio Cornblower

Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. are leading a hell of a comeback for Heather’s Horrible Hikes, (named after our favorite Blair Witch tour guide), and I may have to take back a lot of terrible things I’ve said and thought about Yahoo’s drafting.

Redshirt

Only the Bengals can turn running out the clock into a stressful situation.

LemonJello

I laugh in Jaguras at you

blaxabbath

Two thing, Lahey. Put some fucking pants. And fuck off.

WCS

You frig off, Blax.

Doktor Zymm

Oh hey, I picked the Chargers, not the Ravens! Still alive!

Mr. Ayo

Avoided the Bungles last week, then walked right into the stupid Ravens. Dammit.

LemonJello

Femur drums rumble in the distance

Col. Duke LaCross

Likewise.

WCS

31-3… Qards?! Over the Rams?!

blaxabbath

It got out of hand early.

So long as their health keeps up, these Cardinals can make some noise!

Fronkenshteen

Everyone looks fat in away whites.

WCS

I look fat in any color, including clear.

Don T

Totally. Ask nuns 🤣🤣🤣

Doktor Zymm

Especially after Labor Day, tsk tsk

Horatio Cornblower

The AC is back together, runs fine, and as an unexpected bonus, we have two extra screws we can use for other things!

WCS

LOLRatbirds, damn it WVU, let’s go Stillers…

Haldo

Redshirt

The Chiefs misunderstood Coach Reid saying he wants another turnover.

fleshwound_NPG

making a HARD run at worst trade since herschel

Wakezilla

Bryce Young to Miami for a 3rd. Who says no?

fleshwound_NPG

you mean 3rd…day pick?

Mr. Ayo

Yeah, I wouldn’t give up more than a conditional 6th for that disaster pile of quartered backing.

Gatoraids

hey now its our QB with a concussion not the GM

yeah right

That’s fucking brutal. That team is one of the worst I’ve seen in a decade.

He seems like a good dude but they threw him into an impossible situation.

ArmedandHammered

That O-line is horrible. Fraid he is going to be another David Carr, way too skittish behind the center.

WCS

Poor guy never had a chance.

yeah right

Probably kept up for half a mile.

Doktor Zymm

Being a high first round pick is definitely a mixed blessing, especially for QBs

Cecil Rhodes

My word! I haven’t seen a Chief run that fast since the Battle of Ulundi!

Brocky

You’re not Xavier Worthy

Fuck you

King Hippo

Praise BLEERGH from who all blessings flow

Oh, BLEERGH, why this thou forsake me repeatedly?

I hear you surf now.

Gumbygirl

He’s Moondoggie.

ArmedandHammered

He gets to hang with Frankie and Annette now?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THEY’RE EATING THE MOONDOGS!

blaxabbath

Well, I ride the waves. “Surfing” makes it sound like I’m so obtuse I think I can control the Pacific…

Don T

And brandy + gummy = 🙃

yeah right

I miss weed.

This is one of those countries that don’t fuck with the devils lettuce.

I’mma get high as a motherfucker if I ever decide to go home.

Gumbygirl

There’s hope for them. They legalized abortion, who woulda thunk it?

Doktor Zymm

Took em long enough though!

2Pack

Scoot over to Amsterdam

yeah right

Next time.

Fuck me this place is wonderful.

Feet drag catches make America great. That is all.

RAMMIT may want to cover this Harrison kid a little better.

clint greasewood

Donks new jerseys are better but if they went with the light blue instead of navy would’ve been a better choice

blaxabbath

You know what? If Tom Brady wants to star in a commercial that explains siting in a booth rambling pre-AI statements is the same kind of *work* as being a professional athlete — I’ll gladly buy it.

Gumbygirl

I sat Burrow for Fatthew. I’m not good at this.

LemonJello

You’re beating my ass so bad, I could call you Adrian Peterson.

Gumbygirl

I was whoopin’ Horatio last week too. And I lost.

LemonJello

He had the Luck O’Lowratio on his side. My bench almost has as many points as my starters.

Doktor Zymm

No one is good at this, that’s what makes it that perfect combination of infuriating and fun!

Mr. Ayo

HOX!!!

Never a doubt!

Now let’s see how the Bungles and DONKS will entertain us.

King Hippo

holy fuckballs do I hate this Donks kit. No WOO!! whatsoever.

Doktor Zymm

I like how they made me feel super SMRT for putting in Charbonnet and sitting Chase Brown

Mr. Ayo

MHJ is announcing his presence with authority.

King Hippo

Marv got better

fleshwound_NPG

ratbirds 0-2 is not that big of a shock

but losing to the damn raidaahhhss?!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Wait, WHAT?

King Hippo

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH

Doktor Zymm

Getting my butt kicked in my superflex league to the point where I’m 11% to win with 6 players to go. Fully expected to lose this week so don’t actually mind Kamara making it a blowout

Horatio Cornblower

Stroke of luck as Mrs. Horatio decided that some pieces of the AC weren’t up to her standards of cleanliness, (I mean really, “black” mold! Why are we even bringing race into this), so she took them further apart and cleaned them so now if I can’t get the AC back together it’s her fault.

blaxabbath

You will be able to get it back together.

All thanks to a clean rod.

Ah shit. The parts she took out just snapped right back into place. We’re down to the carnage I left behind.

Welcome to the 4th Annual Bengals Must Win Week 2 Game against the…

(checks notes)

…of course it’s them.

blaxabbath

Shooting at Trump International Golf Club?

How does the Secret Service know the shooter wasn’t just targeting one of the foreign agents who are frequently in that orbit?

fleshwound_NPG

having a candidate living in the capital of Florida Man is not the best idea

blaxabbath

We keep trying to have him killed there but this nation doesn’t take HAVING GUNZ seriously enough, outside of our schools.

Doktor Zymm

I got a ‘breaking news’ email from the NYT about this and the preview read “trump is safe..” so I immediately knew there was a shooting in his vicinity. Should be good for his possible PTSD

blaxabbath

I like that the dude was shot in the ear and cried, “Harris and all these people are getting me targeted!” and that was met with less belief or interest in conversation than, “THEY ARE EATING THE CATS!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Something something “shooting a 78 at one of Trump’s golf courses”

Horatio Cornblower

Are any of the groundskeepers Haitian?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I think so – they displaced the Scots they had previously been using. Leading to eternal enmity, of course.

fleshwound_NPG

hey, saints/cowboys was scorigami

blaxabbath

Arizona Cardinals, Week 2 Opening Kick: “How does this thing work agai — oh shit he’s coming right at us!”

Downfield Matriculator

Unfrozen Caveman did mostly a good today and Kyle Shanahan’s playcalling (and to be fair, shitty execution by Purdy) doomed the Niners. What a weird start to the season.

blaxabbath

CMC is everything.

blaxabbath

To really fuck up Tee, Trump needs to post, “I BELIEVE TEE HIGGINS!”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The only tees that Trump believes in are the ones he uses to prop up his ball when he’s playing from the mud.

2Pack

Wifey and oldest are at an opera at the oldest indoor theater in the world. I’m killing time at a fest downtown. It’s tough.

Mr. Ayo

I love dancing
