Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

We made it! Maybe I did too! That’s a long day to put in.

I think Lynn Swann’s amazing catch in the Super Bowl was the first NFL play that I can recall. I didn’t see it live but it was shown a great deal because it was stunning for the time. I always preferred Stallworth though.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Steelers:

-Dak’s been tossing the rock quite a bit lately, averaging 300 per in his last two outings. He’ll have more of a challenge this week as Pitt is seventh overall in defensive DVOA.

-Lamb should be the primary target-he’s so tough to get a handle on because he almost evenly splits him time between the slot and outside.

-If Zeke has a job next year I’ll be stunned. Kudos to the Jones Boys and the pity contract they gave him. This circumstance forces  Cowboys fans to try to say with a straight face, “this is Rico Dowdle’s backfield now”.

-Fields of Fire: Not just an old 80’s Big Country tune but a description of Justin’s play last week. He became the first Steelers qb to throw for 300, rush for 50 and score two TD’s on the ground. That said, he’s on a very tight leash, having thrown into the end zone a grand total of four times so far this season.

-Somehow Pat Freiermuth is the second-ranked fantasy tight end. Don’t ask me how. Also, yes, it’s been that bad for the position this year. It makes sense given how much passing yards are down overall. Why would you toss the ball to the slow (relatively speaking) guy when you do put it into the air?

-Najee has yet to score so far but that’s to be expected, what with only two goal line carries.

That’s all.

Boris is ahead of me 110 to 68 in the Lowratio league, and Yahoo is giving me a 1% chance to win.

If any of you hatters ever wins something from espn you apparently have to pass a math quiz to claim it 😂

“if a Canadian resident is determined to be a potential prize winner, he/she must correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question within a pre-determined time limit.”

Dok said nap, not enter into Death’s cold embrace.

The only way I watch games is to set myself up to nap as I get tired.

If they want to make it interesting, close the Interstates and have them have to go to all US state capitals (Hawaii included – boats required).
