Looking forward to today. Well, aside from that whole ‘watch the Giants collapse in a new and different way’ thing. Unlike yesterday’s college offerings (some late games excluded) the NFL slate promises to be good. AND we’ve got a five game [faints] late slate that is a banger.
To The Games!
Chargers/Steelers:
With two games below 150 passing yards Herbert has doubled his career total of that number to date. Harbaugh The QB Killer? Dobbins has had plenty of success vs the Steelers, averaging 6.9 ypc against them. Can Fields sorta kinda guide Pitt to a win again? Don’t doubt The Voodoo.
Texans/Vikes:
Stroud to this point in his career has 43 completions of 25+ yards-he’s a remarkably accurate downfield thrower. Nico has been the prime beneficiary, averaging about 106 yards over his last eight games. Of course they gave old man Mixon too much work out of the gate and he’s doubtful so Cam Akers has risen out of the grave of his dead career. Sam Darnold is my $1 QB in Math Hard! league and I’d pay three times that for him today.
Eagles/Saints:
Who’d a thought this tilt would be almost necessary viewing? New Orleans ability to put points on the board has taken everyone by surprise, even Saints fans. Well, except for all those that are saying, “I told you so”. Shaheed continues to blow the top off defenses and Carr has yet to revert to his boring checkdown self. Is there something special in the beignets down there? Philly has their hands full given that their best weapon Brown is still unavailable.
Broncs/Bucs:
Chicks dig the long ball (timely reference!) but not Bo Nix’s-he’s 6 of 24 with 3 INT’s on downfield throws so far which is worse than the since-pulled Bryce Young. Baker has continued to play well but he has favored Godwin who is having a resurgence. Meanwhile on the other side Evans has now gone 7 straight games without 100 yards.
Packers/Titans:
For some reason (Love being out) Lafleur decided to give the rock to Jacobs 32(!) times last week. Sure fantasy owners were happy with that 151 total but that’s just silly. Love was limited in practice so I’m guessing he’s a game-timer? The Titans have the league’s best overall defense and are winless-Levis has to show more.
Giants/Browns:
The .500 Browns look to get on the winning side of things against a NY team that just can’t get everything right at the same time. Last week when the offense finally was sniffing at competency, roster management negated it. Wait. Is this a trap game for Cleveland? Nah.
Bears/Colts:
Boy howdy Chicago’s O is disgusting. They average three yards per play which hasn’t been equaled since way back in 2006. Caleb is a dump down artiste right now-that’s usually the case when a rook qb can’t process defensive looks fast enough. That should improve, it has to improve. Perhaps there should be some emphasis on the ground game given that Indy has given up 474 yards so far.
Now it’s all you.
I can see the Eagles going for that fourth down with 0:40 seconds left in the half, but with 0:14? Too far away from the end zone to be worth the risk.
See below re : fire Sirianni
Nick Sirianni should be fired.
Nope. Keep that Meatball employed forever.
I guess if you have to live with McCarthy that’s fair.
The Bearsenschiesse is strong in the Gravy Boat today.
Sirianni, holy shit
Another Joker movie-is he the owner of the Carolina Panthers this time around?
SHANK’LOR is not allowing a 62 yard FG this early in the season.
Unless it’s in the JV ranks!
17-0, Denver? I see the health department finally found that rat under Baker’s toque.
Whelp, when in DC never buy any weed from Velvet’s as what I have here is barely better than ditch week.
It’s 2024, there should be no more bad weed anymore.
Amen Brother, Amen. They just took advantage of this poor tourist.
Internet connection crapped out. It can only take so much “special” football.
They are running Google Fiber in our neighbourhood. I am as giddy as a teenager in a bordello.
Giants lead over Factory? This season is batshit insane.
factory never clocks out
Bo Nix 13 of 16? What the curled monkey claw bullshit is this?
didnt even think his handoff completion ratio was that high
Buddy, your team is winning too. Drink it in.
It’s a callback, therefore it’s funny.
Is this week the NFL’s salute to Special Olympians? Because some of these teams are playing like a roster of reta…uh, I mean Very Special Athletes?
Oh I was wondering why Sam Darnold was being featured so heavily in the promos.
Obligatory Favre reference achievement Unlocked
what tiny thing was mentioned
Fuck Man City, and no this is not a mission for Buddy Cole’s Halftime Show, should he choose to accept it.
115 FC
Devin Singletary’s current stat line
5 carries, 2 yards, 1 TD.
clots with the insurmountable lead
the chicago bears
now, as always, reminding me that colorado avalanche hockey is only weeks away
Houston dont false start challenge: impossible
“Houston, we have an implosion.”
They should be relegated to the PAC-10 for this.
Isn’t it the PAC-6?
Bears Colts with some of the worst quarterbacking I’ve seen in a game.
I thought all those bench presses make Jalen Hurts a better QB?
He has ALWAYS been the liability, other than the cooch.
Hurts tripping over his own dick almost literally.
Rage level rising.
Can’t blame a man for getting out-quarterbacked by Derek Carr.
bears/colts is gonna end 0-0
2-2.
nevermind, it should be worse
negative integer tie: -5 to -5
The scorigami we need and deserve.
As it should.
did they just say Denver has a running back Tyler Bidet who is a bit of a scatback
He’s hard to contain
A man named Bidet is called a scatback. Wow.
What the fuck TB, it’s the Broncos FFS.
Old McDarnold tossed two TD’s, EIEIO.
.
Let Russ Sit
I wrote at the beginning of the year that I hoped Fields would play so well that Russ would experience the humiliation of another benching.
/that raven’s claw I bought from the old man behind the Dominos dumpster wasn’t lying. This time. Finally!
Strawberry Fields, YINZ-eva
Futbol ends, turns on redzone just to see Hurts throw a pic. Sounds about right.
Dear Heiress: forget Levis. For jeans, wear anything else, just to make sure.
caleb williams is gonna be dead by week 7
Look at the optimist over here.
there will be a game or two where he will be benched during garbage time, extending his life
A course those gooner fucks crumble. The City of London has let Liverpool down like always.
There is a guy with a Ray Finkle jersey on at the bar. Dolphins fans are loving this guy.
Also, why are there so many Dolphins fans in WA and OR?
Oooooh, Ray Finkle guy is Canadian. Ace Ventura made him a Dolphins fan and he’s stuck with it.
(Just overheard him talking to a Seaside, OR Dolphins fan)
For the weather?
Hope there’s a power outage so DonT isn’t subjected to this GB/TEN tilt.
How versatile Levis is to score for both teams in the first
MIRACLE FINISH!!!!!
I feel like I need a cigarette, and I’m a neutral
It was inevitable.
GB with a cromulent defense? I must be dead
DONKS WOO!
Dad: “Redshirt, I can’t root for the Chargers and I can’t root for the Steelers.”
Me: “Root for the tie or root for a meteor to hit the stadium.”
Dad: “Where are they playing?”
Me: “Pittsburgh.”
Dad: “The meteor, then.”
Bo Nix scrambling is high comedy. I can hear yakety sax play
So he’s Tebow with more accuracy and less religion?
Asking Jalen Hurts to think before he throws the ball is not ideal for Philly
Is Texans TE Schultz gonna get anything today? 🏈
Because that would be Rocking!
Ercot mismanagement of the Texans energy starting to show this game.
Grid deep cut, very nice
Tits up!
Doink!
It is 4-nil to the Saints in Hippo utopia
C’mon GB Def I need the points, you gotta make those interceptions
Pep used ALL his subs before 80′ THIS IS UNPRECENTED CHAOS
Benching Stroud and starting Darnauld is actually working? Blind squirrel skill must of activated. The cool down is a bitch though at 6 months.
