Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

This is a great game…last year. Eh, maybe San Fran will rise to the occasion.

To The Game!

Niners/Bills:

-Who’da thunk that the Niners would sink to the bowels of the NFC West? (though it’s a very short climb to the top, no matter what AC/DC thinks in the form of song)

-I’ve said it before but they really stand out as a team that continually suffers key injuries to their stars on an ongoing basis.

-This is another one of those matchups that just doesn’t occur very often-they’ve met just thirteen times. Is this because the respective teams haven’t been good at the same time?

-Consistency, thy name is Buffalo: In their last four games the Bills have scored 31, 30, 30 and 30 points. The offense is only ranked 13th overall but they’re extremely efficient as they’re ranked third in scoring.

-Amari Cooper has been a bit of a disappointment so far though a wrist injury has slowed him. Brought in as a difference-maker to a wr corps that desperately needed one, he has but 7 grabs for 124 yards to this point.

-Another player expected to make a difference-McCaffrey-might find it tough going against a run D that held the Chiefs to just 78 yards on the ground.

-Reinforcing this notion is the fact that Bills linebacker Matt Milano, the lynchpin and signal-caller of the defense is finally activated after tearing his bicep (ouch!) in camp.

There you go.
