Your Post-London Slate of Games Open Thread

That wasn’t that bad, was it? (if you’re a Bears fan-and I’m typing this early in the 2nd quarter) With four teams on the bye you’d think one of the windows would be lacking in quality but I think we’re ok here.

To The Games!

Texans/Pats:

Why would you start Drake Maye now, against Houston? I realize New England has their own timelines and internal processes but why not wait for the Titans or Jags which are coming up in two of the next three weeks? Instead, you’ll likely see the Texans get up early and then start blitzing the rookie and getting him all flustered. He ran for over 1,000 yards last year and I’m thinking we’ll see plenty of that today but not in a controlled, disciplined way.

Commies/Ravens:

Who’da thunk this would be an eyeball-worthy tilt? Well, t’is and the only reason is the rook qb Daniels-his play has elevated the entire gotdamn team to be taken seriously (maybe not the secondary) and that’s a helluva accomplishment. He’s the only QB to have a 75% completion rate with 1,000 yards passing and 350 rushing in any five consecutive games since 1970. My guess is the last one is Fran Tarkenton but I’m not looking it up. He can thank Lamar and his skillset for leading the way.

Browns/Eagles:

Watson’s mediocrity manifests itself in many ways including this one-in all five games this year he’s had 25+ pass attempts and yet he’s still not crossed the 200 yards barrier. And it’s not like the running game has pitched in either-Ford has all of one rushing TD so far this season. Things look bleak given how well Hurts has been playing and now he gets wr’s Brown and Smith back.

Cards/Packers:

Did anyone play stonehands Wicks last week, chasing the points from two weeks ago? [raises own stonehand] You would think that Michael Wilson would be the biggest beneficiary of all the attention being given to Harrison Jr. but he only just put together a half-decent game seven days ago. Love is hella consistent when he’s on the field, having scored 2 or more scores in seven straight games.

Bucs/Saints:

One thing I tend to do is not pay attention to bye weeks when drafting guys and that’s why the rookie Rattler is my guy today. Ugh. Will he be able to find Shaheed downfield at some point? That dude averages 48 yards on his TD scores for his career.

Colts/Titans:

Flacco has breathed new life into his career by being the most competent backup Qb in the league. I can see him fetching a fine draft pick if a playoff-bound team suffers an injury at that spot in the last few weeks of the season. For now AR is back behind center so let the INT’s rain down once again. With Levis on the other side of the field I can see this tilt being a sloppily-played one.

Go get it.

What’s the purpose of having TEs anymore? Can’t we just classify them as WRs?

Or is it one of those formation on line things?

Some people are timid when they start their rumspringa, and some dive right in.

Will Levis, figuring his passes might be less-interceptible if he throws the ball end-over-end.

Same with the pitcher’s win-loss record. If you go 7-8, giving up 2 runs and only lose because your offense didn’t even touch 3rd base on a flyout, you shouldn’t get the L.

That was the Bengals fans opinion of Mixon: the talent is still there but the legs aren’t keeping up.

I’m sure it’ll be high-scoring.

Finished my blistering objection to the first motion. Looked at some exhibits, found they filed a second motion. Got revved up to write a second objection, read through it and went “Oh, shit, nope, they’re actually right about this one.”

Well, it’ll save time anyway.

Mr. Ayo

Your objection should be “You’re right, but go fuck yourself.”

Unsurprised

The best thing related to the Jets since Buttfumble.

Unsurprised

“You’re not wrong. You’re just an asshole.”

Horatio Cornblower

Saving that for the closing argument.

Ah, the Social Network argument.

Respond with a 900+ page nonsensical counter-objection written by an AI program.

Then start drinking heavily while downing opiates and then make lots of unintelligible phone calls.

That’s the court’s job.

Right out of the Hippo playbook

Sideline Reporter: “Demeco, what’s been allowing you to move the ball so well?”

Demeco: “The Patriots aren’t very good.”

(I was writing this as a joke, but even paraphrasing that’s pretty much what he just said)

Horatio Cornblower

How did Will Levis get a commercial for anything, even mayonnaise, (which actually sort of makes sense for a dull white boy): “Hey, this guy sucks! Eat what he eats!!”

Mr. Ayo

Mayday! Mayday!

clint greasewood

Got the tackle too.

We’re all batting second to Redshirt on this one.

Just like I planned to lo lose mine: publicly with a complete stranger.

We lost to this team?

I figured Horatio would get the biggest kick out of this.

I laughed, and thought of more than a couple of attorneys I know this would apply to.

Tampa’s D is the only thing that may save me, as the wee QB Kyler and Marvin Harrison are so far combining to get me, (whips out calculator, furiously punches buttons), (ah, yes, there it is!) 0 points.

Gene Steratore has already opined that the Patriots were victimized by an unwarranted PI call down at the goal line.

From the marshes of Bahstahn propah to the hills of Concahd the cries of “NAWT FAIR, NO ON UNDASTAHND OWAH SUFFAHRIN'” ring forth.

Love the Pats throwbacks. So much better than their current kits, but I suppose one has to give the unwashed masses as much merchandise to purchase as possible if one is to soak them for the most money as possible.
