Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Not much going on today that I noticed but as always, we’ll do something.

Newsy Notes:

-The Old, Gray Mare, err, running back Adrian Peterson managed to latch onto the teat of the Seahawks. He’s a mere 367 yards away from supplanting Barry Sanders-a guy that knew when to quit-for 4th all-time in rushing. And he’s going to get there! Unless Seattle discovers what the Lions and Titans discovered-there’s no tread left on those tires.

-I Knew It But Ignored It: Saquon has yet to run for 60+ yards in a game this year.

-The NFL is going to be doing a “Responsible Gambling” PSA during games going forward! In related news, they’ve put a cap of six ads for gambling sites for any game. [meanwhile, Goodell blows his nose with a Franklin]

-More Related News: Nevada gambling houses surpassed the “billion dollars bet” mark in October for the first time ever. Woo!

-Pour one out for Bama: Their streak of being the favored team just ended at 92 straight. They are a 6 1/2 point dog to the Dawgs.

To The Game!

Cowboys/Saints:

-Coach McCarthy is a Covid no-show tonight so the mighty Dan Quinn, the DC, steps in.

-You know, to me it’s been a bit of a mystery as to why this supremely talented Dallas team just can’t seem to get its shit together. And then it all became clear. BEN FUCKING MCADOO (ex-Giants fuckup) IS ON THE COACHING STAFF! His sorta title is “Consultant to the Coaches”. What? Who the hell would want to know how to lose a locker room in less than a year? Sorry, Horatio-that stink doesn’t come out easily.

-Kudos to Zeke for trying to work through a nagging knee injury but he’s lacking that extra Oomph! that has put defenders on their backs in the past.

-Kamara is out and so are starting tackles Armstead and Ramczyk. In? Only the likes of Lamb, Amari Cooper and The Marcus Lawrence.

-These squadoos are a combined 1-7 over the last four weeks. I’m leaning towards the Cowboys winning but perhaps the Saints can get back to .500 behind a throaty crowd in the dome. They still play in a dome, right?

Have at it.
