More Thrills! More Games! Your Late Slate Open Thread

I’m sure this was some error by the sked makers that was somehow overlooked by the powers that be but it’s too late and now we have choices. We can never go back! [looks at Week 7’s late slate of three games] I guess we’re going back eventually.

To The Games!

Panthers/Raiders:

Ok, let’s get the stinker out of the way. So, how long before Minshew gets injured? He’s being asked to throw the ball and has responded by averaging 266 yards over the first two tilts but he’s also been thrown to the ground nine times as well. Rook tight end Bowers is all he promised to be early days-he leads everyone at his position in catches, targets and yards.

Fins/Seahawks:

It’s Skylar Time! The last time we saw him he was way back in 2022, playing in a Wild Card game vs the Bills and going 18 for 45. It might be safe to downgrade Tyreek and Jaylen a little bit. It’s early but it looks like Geno has regained his surprising form from two years prior. He threw for 300+ last week but if you’ve got a modicum of talent how can you go wrong slinging to the trio of D.K, Tyler and Jackson?

Ravens/Cowboys:

Baltimore is 0-2 but leads the league in total offense. One of those things just doesn’t belong and I can’t see the Ravens going 0-3. So that means that Dallas is going to lose at home and there will a decided lack of celebratory “YEE HAWS!” and I’m here for it. I think it’ll be a very close game however.

Niners/Rams:

An important early divisional matchup with no Puca, Kupp, Deebo or Christian and maybe Kittle. This screams “Big Game” for Aiyuk and Mason. The Rams passing offense now goes through Demarcus Robinson and Colby Parkinson. What? That’s a long way down.

Lions/Cards:

Yet another interesting and probably high-scoring tilt. Thank you, four pm EST window! That’s just not something that gets written very often, if at all. Goff leads all qb’s in pass attempts so far with 83 and Jameson Williams is reaping. He’s one of only three wr’s with 200+ yards in this low-scoring start to the season. It took all of two games for Harrison Jr to bust out. 130 yards in one quarter? That’ll do.

Enjoy.
