Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Hey, welcome back! If you liked uncompetitive games yesterday was your day! Of the 12 games played, 7 were decided by 18 or more points. Teams and players racking up points might be good for your fantasy teams but it didn’t make for good watching though. Ah well, we soldier on as always.

Fallout:

-Pour one out for Aidan Hutchinson’s tibia and fibula, which now welcomes an iron rod as company and he’ll be right as rain in six to eight months. Entering the game he led the league in sacks, pressures and pass rush win rate. Don’t let me hear any of that, “Next Man Up!” bullshit-that kind of production doesn’t get replaced.

-ESPN’s NFL page has gone out on a limb and is suggesting that Deshaun Watson be benched. But that would mean that all the guys that signed off on his ludicrous deal would have to admit they were wrong and then get crucified in the press so I think that’s unlikely.

-I loved seeing Jerrah in the middle of a large scrum getting grilled about making a coaching change. (only 75% of NFC East coaches are on the hot seat currently) You know who else loved it? Jerrah. Because he was the center of attention and in the end that’s more important than the team.

-Calvin Ridley is getting a wee frustrated. He dropped some expletives after the Titans loss yesterday and perhaps he was justified? I passed on a stat a week or so ago that only 56% of the balls thrown his way have been deemed catchable by PFF. In the loss he had 0 catches on 8 targets but the rest of the team combined caught 16 of 19 targets. A bizarre outlier or is something else going on? Weird.

To The Game!

Bills/Jets:

-Buffalo’s O is only ranked 22nd overall so far-they’re so dependent on Allen so when he struggles so does the team. I’ve said it before but that wr room is not the best.

-There is some hope if Shakir is able to play tonight because he’s a solid mix of game-breaker and weirdly enough, a ball magnet. He’s caught 18 of 19 pigskins thrown in his direction.

-It’s important that new/replacement coaches Jeff Ulbrich and Todd Downing get out to an early lead. And it’s easily achievable in theory because the Bills have been outscored 38-6 in the first half. Ouch.

-Thing is, will Rodgers listen to his new OC? He’s nothing if not petty and petulant so the sideline action is going to be interesting.

-While Breece Hall has been up and down rook rb Braelon Allen and his considerable 235lb self has “created” his own running lanes, racking up 4.5 ypc.

Let’s do this thing.

And someone really thought Salah was the problem.

Mr. Ayo

You can take the Saleh out of the Jets, but you can’t take the Jets out of the Jets.

Unsurprised

Whomever that was is an idiot.

Will Arnett seemed like he was wavering on mentioning the whole Lebanese flag theory.

Doktor Zymm

He was if the problem was the defense being too competent

I found something amusing from the archives.

Well fuck him and me.

TheRevanchist

I’m not sure if the refs want to be in the game, or if both teams are just this shitty.

Could be both.

Horatio Cornblower

There’s a Stephen King short story called ‘You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band’ about a couple that gets caught in a town haunted by dead rock stars and they can never leave.

If that town had a sports bar this fucking game would be playing on a loop over the bar.

I was hoping Rodgers broke his elbow on that guy’s helmet.

Meeting with the funeral home tomorrow at 11 am. Either I’m gonna be hungover and coming off an early morning Bloody Mary OR still fucked up from drinking tonight.

Mr. Ayo

Why not both? We believe in you fozz.

Unsurprised

Fucked up!

Also, watch your wallet. No matter how much you already distrust those cocksuckers, it’s not enough. Unfortunately, the whole industry is like 4 corporations, so you can’t really price shop. But due diligence, bro. They see you as prey and will fuck you hard and fast.

That’s exactly why I told my family if something happens to me to dump my body in international waters, take my life insurance money and go to Vegas.

I’ve got a shovel and know a couple of carpenters. We can get that hole dug and a nice casket whipped up in no time.

Fuck those vultures.

Yeah, I’m going to have to be the asshole tomorrow. My mother is the easiest sell in the world, and my sisters will be like, “Yes, whatever you want. Let’s get the best!” And my father was the most basic, no frills dude ever.

My mom: “Your dad wanted to be cremated. I’m not doing it.”
Me: “You have to. That was one of his only demands.”
My mom: “So what will I do with his ashes? Keep them in my room?”
Me: “Well, every once in awhile you can open up the urn and yell at him.”

She smiled. A little.

Put him on the top shelf of the closet. Or bury the ashes. Or scatter them. Who the fuck am I, Himmler?

If you tool around long enough there, 5Chan’s going to notice…

jjfozz

My father was really into making sure you dressed right everywhere you went. For him, it wasn’t vanity, it was just what you did. You looked respectable.

I hate getting dressed up. So when I was about 13, we were going out as a family, and I absolutely turned into an asshole, making a huge commotion and refusing to wear nice clothes. So, my mother cried in the car.

My dad was an imposing figure, and grew up in a tough neighborhood, but rarely smacked us.

So we get out of the car, he pulls me real, real close to him and says in a low and threatening voice, “You’re a real motherfucker, you know that? If your mother wasn’t here I’d beat your ass. In fact, I might beat your ass later.”

I rarely complained about getting dressed up after that. Because he fucking scared 10 years off of my life.

SonOfSpam

Hooray, I beat Balls!

(to be clear, this is about fantasy football; I am not Adrian Peterson)

Mr. Ayo

So you came from behind, just like he likes it?

If I put on more weight, will that give me more space to shove my feelings into?

Yes. I can confirm that it will.

Well, you are a super smart person, so I will follow this formula. And maybe have it tattooed on my forehead.

You will also survive hurricanes better. Science.

LemonJello

Well, he’ll be more resistant to winds, but what about storm surge? Or is the added weight also added buoyancy?

Doktor Zymm

As long as the weight is fat rather than muscle, yeah, and it’ll also help retain body heat in the water possibly

Gatoraids

Feedings, feelings close enough

Unsurprised

[Belichick] hates the Jets! He hates the Jets!

I’m hearing this for the first time.

Unsurprised

How do these two dickheads have one of the most popular podcasts? They suck. They have no chemistry. They are the worst fictional brothers.

I’m trying to say that Jason Bateman and Will Arnett shouldn’t be on the Manningcast, you see.

Doktor Zymm

Belichick is far preferable, which is weird to say and think

Doktor Zymm

If you’re gonna get called for it, might as well actually crush him

Mr. Ayo

BLEEEERGH!!!
