Your Overlapping Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

You know, I’ve decided that if being able to chose between two games on Monday is the tradeoff for only having three games in the 4 O’clock skinny window, then I’m good with that.

Fallout:

-A ton of stuff happened yesterday but the most buzz seemed to be around The Kelce/Tay Squared rumors being confirmed. Did you see the look of joy on Ms. Swift’s face when her new man scored. Lip readers are saying that she yelled, “He did A Football!” That’s sweet.

-This is the cynical/morbid thing I did in my auction league. I drafted Quentin Johnson with the hope that either Keenan Allen or Mike Williams would go down with an injury and the latter only took until the 3rd week of the season to do right by me. He’s out for the year with a busted ACL.

-The Siren Song of the Bench: That’s what the Wilson Boys (Russ and Zach) are hearing according to many folks. Russell can’t be pegged for that loss but at some point Payton has to be seen as doing something to get the Horseys going, right?

-Kudos to the Texans and their upset. I was puzzled by Stroud’s proclamation of, “I’m nobody’s fish!” Huh?

To The Games!

Eagles/Bucs:

-I don’t think anyone expected Tampa to be 2-0 but here we are. Perhaps Mayfield is resurrecting his career, perhaps this is a wee blip and he’ll start turning the ball over on a regular basis again.

-Their O/U for wins was 6.5 and they’re a 1/4 of the way there.

-Philly should put the petal to the metal and get things done. That would be great for them given that all their divisionmates lost in Week 3.

-Tampa’s secondary is going to help them along because Carlton Davis is hobbled and Jamel Dean is giving up an atrocious 156.2 passer rating so far this year.

Rams/Bengals:

-Burrow is a gametimer and if he can’t go virgin qb Jake Browning will be thrown into the volcano.

-They say it’s a pain management issue so I’m thinking Joe’s a go. But this is a no-win situation. If he aggravates it more and has to sit, fans will be up in arms. But let’s remember that Cincy is 0-2 and needs a positive result badly.

-Does Puka keep it going? He’s already questionable and I think it’s just because he’s getting hit so often. Still, his yards receiving prop is 63.5 which seems like easy pickings.

Enjoy.

That’s how I felt last night. It doesn’t have to be pretty.

I hope you’re both talking about football, or maybe I’m not.

WCS

Our super-valuable, MVP-caliber quarterback has a nasty ankle injury, so let’s be sure we have him rollout into an open area unprotected several times in a row.

SoS, RTD. Two men enter, one man leaves.

SonOfSpam

Like Lindsey Graham’s botthole, sorry sorry

LemonJello

Burrow was hoping to get a little rest on the sideline, and the defense has to get a turnover and send him right back out.

Mr. Ayo

This is not the Bungles I’m familiar with. Unless this is the setup for some terrible heartbreak.

Not sure if that’s good or bad

Yes. The answer is yes.

Horatio Cornblower

Those crowd shots show exactly the kind of arhythmic dancing I’d expect to see on a ‘White-Out’ night.
