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.

Is there a new thread going up for Hawai’i Baywatch premier (night one)?

King Hippo

betcha the hot girl and the brooding new dude with a dark secret HOOK UP!!

Ooh we have jerrah-cam! AND Enjoy the Silence?! Wow fox, way to drive things home!

Wakezilla

For all you Ice LioUns fans, Thatcher Demko gingerly skated off the ice during practice today and looked pretty defeated. I feel sorry for the guy

Beerguyrob

What is the Tush Push in Seattle? The Salmon Shove?

Doktor Zymm

I like it!

Smells fishy

“Ay chihuahua…..”

Kyler thought he hit the Fire button but accidently hit Grenade Lob on his controller.

blaxabbath

“LOOK AT JONATHON GANNON’S SMALL PLAY SHEET!”

Look at how the Lions have controlled this game with making adjustments.

King Hippo

It’s discomforting to hear Dak get ready for the snap with YYAAAAARRRGGGGHHH, the universe is a dark and unforgiving void

Mr. Ayo

He should change it to YYAAAAARRRGGGGHHH I got paid!

blaxabbath

How many fucking 70+ year old’s do you really think I care to keep alive between now and Nov 4?

RSV for everyone!

I really should take great solace in the fact that it’s impossible for the Raiders to go 0-17 this year. They have scored seven points against a team that gives up an average of 36.5.

blaxabbath

This Lions defense is really stifling a Cardinals offense that went off against a Rams roster full of brittle year-old Halloween skeletons.

Who could have seen this coming?

King Hippo

You should dial into Qards Talq to discuss Xbox, Jr.’s accuracy

Doktor Zymm

The Rams defense is poor

Mr. Ayo

Kenny Albert with the speculative punctured lung for a chest pain diagnosis is a bit over the top.

Doktor Zymm

Yup, just leaped right over ‘cracked rib’

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Do you see how the defender has a clenched fist as he leaves the field? My guess is that he’s holding his opponent’s larynx; which he ripped out of their trachea with his bare hand during the tackle.”

Unsurprised

Well, it is the Raiders

Mr. Ayo

Oops, Kevin Harland is the announcer.

I’d apologize but I’m drunk so they all sound the same right now.

Downfield Matriculator

Hope one of y’all with Deebo or Kittle on your fantasy team subbed in Jennings.

blaxabbath

I spent all my money on CMC at the beginning of the draft because I’m Al Davis and I can’t get anyone else.

Beerguyrob

I’ve got Aiyuk. How is that going so wrong?

Downfield Matriculator

Meh

Downfield Matriculator

That was supposed to be Meh defense by the Rams and they picked the expensive guy to guard as one might expect, leaving Jennings to run wild. And one crazy circus catch that bailed out a weak throw from Purdy

/fuck WordPress and its edit function

Mr. Ayo

My backup was Conklin, so that’s of zero help.

Beerguyrob

This game is never going to end and I am going to die in my seats.

Wakezilla

Kevin Harlan is getting passive aggressive on commentary. This is an abomination of a game

Doktor Zymm

I think they’re required to call it at 2 am because of noise regulations

Beerguyrob

Welp. Just about got in a fight. Some guy in a Dolphins jersey was looking for his friend in the bathroom & I said, “blowjobs are in the shitters, pal.”

blaxabbath

That’s funny though.

Wakezilla

That’s funny.

NotShogunButShogun

I believe that was a well-reasoned response

King Hippo

I mean, got to pass the time somehow.

NotShogunButShogun

I swear I’m having flashbacks. A squandered offense, dubious defense…90’s me wants jncos

WCS

For anyone who is having a lousy day because their chosen franchise is getting blown the fuck out by a team that analysts roundly agree is the worst in the NFL, here is a little pick-me-up: Joe Lieberman is still dead.

blaxabbath

Rush Limbaugh rots in agreement.

Doktor Zymm

It’s been a really stellar day for worst in the league candidates

King Hippo

tough day to be a canned ham product (water added)

Doktor Zymm

Andy Dalton and Rodgers killing me in my superflex league. What is this, 2013??

Unsurprised

May as well give it to them. It’s not like it’ll affect the score.

King Hippo

Remember that Thankgiving we all lived the Tim Boyle experience? Shit, I think that was even pre-COVID

WCS

Does Mercury Morris still get champagne?

Gatoraids

he gets to avoid having to watch this dolphins game, so reason for him to celebrate

Wakezilla

This Dolphins/Hox game is probably going to be 4hrs long. Ridiculous

Doktor Zymm

They should add a pitch clock or something

Wakezilla

Best thing to happen to baseball. I actually watch games now

Beerguyrob

I’m fucking dying here.

Wakezilla

I bet. Stay strong. You may need to spend the night in Seattle

Unsurprised

Spoiler alert: Arizona won’t produce shit, RedZone

blaxabbath

Like there is some OTHER place you can get citrus?!

Unsurprised

Miami: I’ve seen this movie

Gatoraids

Dolphins offensive a more realistic depiction of a wasteland than Mad Max

JustStopDude

Alright. Who the fuck was the dumbass that pissed off Derrick Henry?

Beerguyrob

That series made no sense.

The LOLphins!

Spur

Let’s see the Derrick Henry TD again

Promote yourself to Head Coach, Jerral. You know it’s the only way.

Unsurprised

Could he be any worse than what you have now?

Doktor Zymm

Oh it would be worse and it would be GLORIOUS

King Hippo

Like, what if he had a team employee hoist him on his shoulders on the sideline? The whole time he’s yelling instructions to move him to and fro. And he also calls the plays.

Doktor Zymm

Oh you know he would stick a bridle on that employee and ride him like a horsey

King Hippo

yeeeeeehhhhhhaaaawwwww, I’m the ALPHA COWPERSON

NotShogunButShogun

HEE-DAMN-HAW!

King Hippo

The Dad from Everybody Loves Raymond is back and in aqua!

A gallon of chocolate marshmallow will not undo that

Doktor Zymm

I slept like 12 hours last night, why am I falling asleep?

King Hippo

SISTER!!

Spur

Send Micah and CeeDee to Detroit. they’d know how to use them.

Wakezilla

QB 3 in for Miami. Everyone has talked about Miami’s O-Line being an issue. Unfortunately, Coach McDrunk and Grier disagree. Fuck

Gatoraids

our beautiful fast paced dynamic offense

Skylar ded, it’s time for Boyle’s Law

back up – back up QB for Fins.

Horatio Cornblower

Tom Brady: “I wanna see what the Cowboys do this half.”

Me: “I’ve been rooting for them since the mid-70’s and I don’t. I’m walking the dog.”

See you all some time in the 4th quarter, when I’m sure McCarthy will have this all sorted out.

Horatio Cornblower

Impressed that the NFL put together a helmet-safety ad and didn’t put a laugh track in it.

If the cops aren’t going to beg anyone reading that tweet to donate money to the TAMU NIL operation, they aren’t doing their part for the community.

Cardinals: “Saw something we liked on that run. Let’s go no huddle!”

Cardinals: Short quarterback tosses a lame duck into double coverage and gets picked off in the end zone.

Just noticed that I’m starting the Ravens D in the Lowratio league, so this is actually great.

Beerguyrob

Also, I am fucking LOADED.

Beerguyrob

Pretty goddamned close to reality, given how this game is going.

Spur

Is McCarthy capable of feeling shame?

NotShogunButShogun

Um, no. He’s Pittsburgh tough after all

Beerguyrob

Update from Seattle – how is this game taking fucking longer than the Broncos game?

blaxabbath

Do you have to wait for something to compost first?

Beerguyrob

Probably Geno at this rate.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It so cool that all it took for the Panthers to surpass their total points from the first two games of the season was a single half of playing against the Raiders.

Doktor Zymm

It’s really too bad they benched Young, he could have used the confidence boost

Horatio Cornblower

Announcer acting like Mike McCarthy’s going to make some great halftime adjustment as though the only thing McCarthy’s going to do isn’t reach for a quart of Blue Bunny Ice Cream, then take a nap.

Spur

he’s a lame duck coach.

Horatio Cornblower

Weird way to spell “shitty”

WCS

Two quarts

Here’s to another listeria outbreak, less sickening than the cowboys
