Requiem For a Dimes-Your MNF Open Thread

That thing that everybody saw happening has now happened. The American landscape is such that bald-faced lies are not only acceptable but almost expected so of course it was called ‘a football decision’. So now he goes home at night and stoically sits on his moneypile and ruminates about what’s ahead-he’ll be a backup somewhere, maybe a spot starter in a year or two once the Giants stink washes off. His career record was 24-44-1 as a Giant and he was by no means responsible for all those losses but his inability to finish out games allowed him to contribute his fair share. He started off ok-he threw 34% of all his TD passes in his first year.

And now the fans have what they want-change. It comes in the form of Tommy Cutlets, who won three games last year and pushed his team out of QB contention in this year’s draft. Can he do it again? He probably will because if anything, he’s going to energize the team in the short term. So stay tuned for that unflexable Thanksgiving tilt with Cutlets and Rush as the stars. You know what you did.

Fallout:

-Incel-Adjacent Behavior?: The Bears lost in the most Bears fashion but are not letting it be. They’ll be sending tape of their losing blocked field goal to the head office and that sure as hell is going to show someone! [I hear the sounds of thousands of tiny fists shaking]

-The Jags Pederson-holding on dearly to what some people would call a “job”-has said that the team’s problems ‘start with me’. No comment. He also said that ‘everything’s on the table’, except his balls-they’re in a vice.

-I said it elsewhere but that Indy win over the Jets was unexpected and also sweeter than Shirley Temple singing “Good Ship Lollipop”.

To The Game!

Texans/Cowboys:

-It’s Cooper Rush O’Clock! Last we saw this fella was back in ’22 when as a fill-in he guided the team to a 4-1 record. Things are a touch different these days. The team is following it’s owner into a very obvious and loud-mouthed decline and the fact that the term “Curtains” is being thrown into the mix makes me smile for days.

-After the anticipated quick takeoff Houston has leveled of, losing 3 of their last 4 to sit at 6-4. They’re still sitting somewhat pretty in their division.

-Not that it matters but Dallas is 5 games back and fading.

-Stroud during weeks 7-10 has the worst passer rating of any QB with 100+ passes. Everybody watches film, ya gotta adjust to the adjustments.

-He has some relief in the form of Nico finally being back from a hammy. His completion percentage rises 12 points when Collins is on the field.

-He’ll need some more help from Danielle Hunter who leads every defender with 62 pressures. The next closest guy is 10 pressures behind.

Enjoy.
