Your “Talk Amongst Yourselves” Early Slate of NFL Games Open Thread

Because there seem to be so many of them we’ll go directly-

TO THE GAMES!

Rams/Bills:

Rook rb Moss is out with a toe ouchie so the problem for Coach McDermott now becomes, “How do I limit Singletary to under 20 touches? Hmmm…”. He’ll find a way.

Raiders/Pats:

I was thinking Pats for survivor because the Raiders are coming off the meaningful victory and all the hoopla surrounding their new digs, plus traveling cross-country and playing the early game vs. the Pats at home. Or I could stream the teams playing the Jets. Decisions are hard.

Team/Browns:

Much was made of the vaunted Team’s pass rush after wk. 1 and then wk. 2 happened. Quickly recapped, there was not much vaunt. Mayfield and Co. shouldn’t have much of a problem here.  Shouldn’t.

Texans/Steelers:

Pitt’s pass rush generates pressure within 2 seconds on 44% of qb dropbacks. Look for Watson to run around a bit more than usual to counteract that.

9ers/Giants:

New York will be looking Wayne Gallman’s way when they need a competent plodder (who was inactive last week) to get them 3 yards on first down. San Franny should walk away with this despite fast running out of Next Man Up’s.

Bengals/Eagles:

Burrows is tied for second in attempted passes with 97(!) so far. Kudos for him in that he has a 3:1 TD/INT ratio. Let’s call him Joey Ice (that elbow, postgame)

Titans/Vikes:

Perhaps this is the week rook wr Justin Jefferson hits the smash spot-he’s playing primarily in the slot so far and would be up against an UDFA that has given up 80+ yards and a score so far.

Bears/Falcons:

Julio is a game-timer that didn’t practice all week. PFF has given the Bears O-line the 3rd best ranking with respect to protecting the qb, noting that they didn’t give up a single quick pressure to the Giants last week. I feel that sometimes these rankings should be adjusted for ‘quality of opponent’.

Have at it down below. We’ll have our esteemed footski commenters start things off.

Methinks this is the day BUF falls apart, but was too chickenshit to pick the ML

Time for the 3rd installment of everyone’s favorite game:

“Can the Bengal’s Offensive Line figure itself out before it gets Joe Burrow killed?!”

I really like Chefs moneyline.

Mr. Ayo

Especially if Andy is dining in.

It’s interesting how I can tell whether CBS has an early game based solely on the ads that are playing when I flip to the channel.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Why WSH/CLE in TX today, CBS? What the fuck?

King Hippo

Canadia teevee considers it an interventioUn, eh??

Don T

I aleays get the f****n’ Jints game.
Still jiggering with avoiding Sinday Ticket. On spite grounds.

Fronkenshteen

Lester’s third ensures all NFL fans will switch over in 10 minutes instead of most.

King Hippo

sheeeit, I switched to heroic RedZone muzak right after 3-1!

Gratliff

Steve Mariucci pointing at Jim Schwartz as a reason the Eagles will win today because he hasn’t seen a game since February 2018.

Horatio Cornblower

Holy shit, that Vardy goal.

Fronkenshteen

And there’s the hat!

Brick Meathook

I remember that band from the banner picture!

They were touted as “the next Beatles.”

What ever happened to them?

Horatio Cornblower

According to the always reliable internet they broke up when Hollis stopped touring because it was interfering with his ability to be a good father, which has to be unique among successful bands.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Where are my Raiders? Oh, THAT’S where my Raiders are.

King Hippo

But Gruden already had it and IS A JEW LIBTARD LIE THEIR IS NO VIRUS

Gratliff

Kirk Cousins is statistically the worst QB in the NFL and that’s very funny to me

Horatio Cornblower

So you’re saying….

Horatio Cornblower

Starting Justin Herbert and the entire Cowboys offense other than Dak! Dak! Dak! today, so Cuntler, (I think it’s Cuntler, not really sure), is either going to get absolutely smoked and or win by a mile today. Death or glory!

Alright, advice and judgment welcome

I hate myself for saying this but Trubisky against Atlanta’s sieve of a defense might be a better play than Wentz. -Guh- I shuddered just typing that.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Was planning on giving Wentz ONE more go…

Mr. Ayo

Truth Biscuit.

Afternoon pevosaurs, how’re ya all(‘s betting slips) this fine day?

Gratliff

NFC East gets another shot at going 0-4 this week. They narrowly avoided it last week thanks to Atlanta Falconsing the fuck out of their game against Dallas.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Corey Davis or Darrell Henderson- WHO YA GOT???

Gratliff

Don’t come to us for help. We are a very stupid people.

King Hippo

Hendo

JustStopDude

Ugh…a friend from college showed up. Out of work cause of Covid, I offered him a relaxing weekend.

Instead, we tried to drink our age in alcoholic beverages the moment he arrived and we both spend Saturday admitting this was fucking stupid and we are no longer young men.

Puking in your shower, in your very late thirties means you have your life on track right?!?

Mr. Ayo

Making it to the bathroom at all shows your maturity.

Well done, sir.

King Hippo

Our box is a special box??

/guess Mourinho ain’t doing phrasing no MOAR

Fronkenshteen

The Volkswagen ads with Paul Giamatti as the celebrity accountant, and the Progressive “Dr. Rick” ads are top notch, as far as that sort of thing goes.

clint greasewood

Can’t say the same with Brie Larson in the Nissan commercials

Fronkenshteen

Hey look! Hammers are on Peacock. They’re still gonna get the shit kicked out of them, but at least there’ll be pretty colors.

Sharkbait

Holy fuck that was an awful handball call

King Hippo

I kept on bench, so he’ll go off

King Hippo

If you keep your arms at your sides, they don’t call it. Period, end of.

Sharkbait

Back to back fucking days??? Come the fuck on

King Hippo

Walking off the pitch. What a turd, that guy.

clint greasewood

Jesus fuck this new handball rule is like mana for shit teams.

Mr. Ayo

Throw VAR into the burn pile.

yeah right

Alright. Got another round trip to move some boxes and feed the fish at the new place before coming back here for football Sunday, maximum grillage and my last night at the old right house. Big move is tomorrow.

clint greasewood

It’s like Mourinho zapped all the fun out of Tottenham. They use to be an exciting team to watch.

King Hippo

Might not even get the points today!

/MOAR important to have a dick-waving contest with Dele Alli obvs

King Hippo

We could have had a Top-Knotted Cunt Derby if only Princess Leia was healthy enough to feature.

Stafford or Herbert?

Mr. Ayo

Herbert

King Hippo

oh, that is QUALITY

Redshirt

Lets see, I get Bengals@Eagles, but because I complained about the broadcasting choices the past few weeks, I’m being punished with FootballTeam@Browns and Cowboys@Cardinals.

Don’t mess with the Shield, I guess.

Mr. Ayo

This is your Sunday reminder:

Stay the fuck home.

But if you do go out, slow the fuck down.

I did neither this weekend. So now I’m day drinking and watching the pros do it.

Game Time Decision

No wonder the windshield is cracked…..awesome video

rockingdog

Fantasy football question:
Who gonna get more points?
WR Robert Woods (vs Bills) or WR TreQuan Smith (vs GB)

*note Saints will be without WR Michael Thomas

Fronkenshteen

If Woods ever got TDs, it’d be an easy choice. Still, GB is w/o their top WR, too, so that might be a heavy run game. I’d go with the consistency of Woods and hope Tra’Davious White covers Kupp some of the time.

Sharkbait

Baby Shark is very interested in the Spurs logo on my shirt. Between Spurs, Rangers and Gmen (thanks Mrs. Sharkbait), this kid is in for some heavy sports based disappointment and drinking.

Game Time Decision

that’s starting out with at least one strike against them

Fronkenshteen

Who does he play for? Blur?

Fronkenshteen

Sonny’s shot has been fucking DEADLY lately. That’s two off the post.

Sharkbait

Son channeling his inner Brighton. He’s got 2 posts now.

Toothless Geordies/Spurs is as fecund as I had hoped and dreamed.
