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.

It’s not going to the LOLfins 3-0 game, but one team at least has the capability to run the ball.

Looks like yinz will experience all the fun live with me! Both the adventures on AND off the field!

Doktor Zymm

Can we plug up the drains and have a mock naval battle like they used to do in ancient Rome?

ArmedandHammered

I would love that especially if they were like the ones in an Ian M. Banks novel, the one about the woman with a neural lace,

Spur

Now I want to see Fields overshot a cannonball.

jjfozz

Yes. If we can set it up so Watt gets a load of grape shot right in his fucking face

Game Time Decision

Everything’s fine

ArmedandHammered

Wouldn’t the metal chair act as a ground, or would it just not matter?

blaxabbath

Would it be so bad to see a player electrocuted on the field?

King Hippo

SEE, this guy GETS IT! Get out there and take a fuckin’ chance, will ya?

Redshirt

You may get superpowers. You don’t know. *

NFL’s insurer :”Lightning strikes are Acts of God, right?”

Gatoraids

Doktor Zymm

It’s more likely to be someone in the stands, and I’m pretty sure they waived all rights to not die when purchasing the ticket

King Hippo

plus those poor fuckers can’t exactly teleport home -they’re just stuck out exposed even longer!

ArmedandHammered

And agreeing for their estate to reimburse the NFL for the cost of cleaning up their remains.

Game Time Decision

So no different than usual

Doktor Zymm

Did someone fill Heinz with 2 of every fanbase or something?

Col. Duke LaCross

It’s too bad Pitt played at UNC yesterday instead of jacking up the field in Western PA. We might get some MUD FITBAW.

King Hippo

I love the image of fat Yinzer sitting in the deluge inside a trash bag…chugging a Bud Light

Doktor Zymm

The blue shirt gave me the impression that was a cowpoker fan, but either way a great piece of tv

There are some Bills fans Reacting Reasonably today:
“Time to just trade Josh and some of the other good players we have for draft capital and rebuild this team”

Spur

How will Dallas embarrass themselves tonight? Am going with back breaking penalties.

Downfield Matriculator

I am hoping the Steelers embarassment ended with losing to Joe Flacco last week

Doktor Zymm

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.”

Well most Canadians are imaginary.
