Your Week Three First Slate of NFL Games open Thread

Welcome aboard! We’ve got a few tasty tilts for you to gnaw on. (Dan Campbell’s ears perk up)

To The Games!

Ravens/Pats:

Look for more RPO-style plays from…Mac Jones? Well, now that he’s no longer a fatty, he ran some last week and of course there were plenty down at Alabama. Them Ravens can put points on the board as they showed during their rough and tumble loss to Miami. Can they stop points though?

Chiefs/Colts:

Indy’s formula for success-giving the ball to Taylor, controlling the clock and tightening up on D didn’t work vs the frickin’ Jags last week (lost 24-0) so what chance do they have against the Chiefs?

Saints/Panthers:

It’s “THE BATTLE OF THE FORMER #1 OVERALL DRAFT PICKS WHOSE CAREERS HAVEN’T QUITE PANNED OUT QUITE THE WAY THEY’D LIKE” Bowl. Rhule barely makes it to the bye before he’s shitcanned.

Texans/Bears:

Houston could be 2-0 if they could hold onto a lead but they’ve no experience in that regard. That Chicago win in the rain in week one is still a throwaway game in that they won. The only starter to throw less passes than Fields is Dak.

Bills/Fins:

Well lookee here, it’s your star matchup of the early slate, glory be! Scoring won’t be an issue here because a.) the Bills and b.) the Bills defense is missing a bunch of defensive starters.

Lions/Vikes:

Dan “Sawney Bean” Campbell should be entertaining on the sideline today. Minny has firepower with JJ and Dalvin while the Lions have put up 35 and 38 so far this season. They’ve also scored a major in 15 straight quarters! Are we looking at a rare NFC North score-kakke game?

Bengals/Jets:

At the outset of the season you’d think that some in the Jets organization would look to Cincy regarding how to turn things around. Now as it stands, the Bengals are looking at the Jets as an opportunity to turn things around.

Raiders/Titans:

Welcome to the “Somebody’s Gotta Win, Right?” Bowl. Plenty of teams have dug themselves out of 0-3 holes but many, many more have followed that start with a ton more losses.

Eagles/Commies:

Wentz is doing his part with a 7-3 TD/INT number and two 300 yarders but there’s no D yet-36 points to the Lions and 22 to the Jags? That won’t do. Eagles smell blood, go to 3-0.

Push your buttons.

He calls it a M-O-O-N.

This is the Samaje Perine drive. Maybe the line just doesn’t like Mixon enough to block for him.

We got Press Box cam with the Pregame Studio Crew commentating. Can we keep this?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Seeing the clock keep running after a) the Raiders receiver stepped out of bounds and b) there was a penalty on the play helps remind me that the NFL is a complete sham; it makes pro wrestling look as strictly officiated as a game of chess.

Mac Jones diving like an Italian soccer player.

Mac Jones also throwing a fade route like an Italian soccer player.

I haven’t seen the Ravens collapse like that since, (goes into long-winded story about the final season of Game of Thrones), and anyway, that’s why HBO has a restraining order against me.

The first Lovie Challenge in ages!

Philly really wants the clean sheet. My hopeless fantasy squadron appreciates the effort.

Preface: Miami has a player named River Cracraft who appears to be white given that both his parents’ names are Tracy.

Yeah they say the two best days of of owning a River Cracraft are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Who is Strawberry Fields’ backup? Asking for a city full of fat white people.

Col. Duke LaCross

A lurpy, white gorilla.

Leave Lena Dunham out of this

Poor Don T. Living without power in a 3rd world country in the middle of the Atlantic, (according to some very orange former Presidents), hit by yet another hurricane and now, worst of all, starting Carson Wentz in FF against me.

Not enough paper towels to sop THAT up

Fun* Fact** : Puerto Rico is Spanish for “Port of Rico” which was intended to refer to just one city, not the entire country, and the city of San Juan was meant to be the name of the entire island not just the capital city!

Yeah, you might want to cover Ja’Marr Chase in the endzone.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Because of course when the Raiders are gifted a turnover on the opponent’s 30 yard line, they can’t even get a field goal out of it.

I should have Eli write up his thoughts on Lego Masters.

Horatio Cornblower

It’ll be in crayon.

Shouldn’t “thoughts” be “they’ll be in crayon”?

I said what I said.

I bet Derek Carr will be a fine backup.

2022 and we’re still hiring belichick assistant frauds to fail at head coach

(and better yet, its a retread!)

ArmedandHammered

You bring him on to make the coach that takes his place look even better.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I don’t have any major issues with McDaniels so far. I mean it’s the same old Raider shit, so it’s hard to blame it on him specifically.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Of all the familiar tropes from That’s My Raiders!, I think giving up cheap points before halftime is one of the most reliable.

blaxabbath

What happened to Jacobs?

Col. Duke LaCross

I think he caught the Nineteen.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Although “red zone penalties” are a very close second.

fleshwound_NPG

bears fans booing the bears for letting the clock run to :00 with all timeouts left

like they were ever getting past the 50 with those timeouts

Senor Weaselo

Wait, I have Boyd? On my bench yes, but still.

2Pack

The half ends on a derp play. Busted would imply that there was any real thought to it.

blaxabbath

Matt Rhule needs to refuse to come out after halftime without a contract extension.

Senor Weaselo

Good afternoon from the Red Line Diner, where I’m watching the first Jets football I’ve actually seen this year.

Can they change the channel?

blaxabbath

Tua about to barf out his speech center of his brain.

It is Teddy time in Miami.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Woo hoo!

Oh yeah those Miami teddies. But sadly not what the Fins are dealing with now.
