Your “The Pickens are Rather Girthy” NFL Football Open Thread

TO THE GAMES!

Broncos/Raiders:

Nobody seems to be talking about how efficient Derek Carr is this season. The Raiders O has been helped immensely by his 16/2 TD/INT ratio. That man takes good Carr of the ball, amirite? Guh, bad pun is bad. Denver has struggled through the 5th hardest sked with a 2nd year qb that is learning the ropes and it’s not going to get any better the rest of the way. They have the Fins, Saints, Chiefs and Bills to look not forward to. Oh my.

Chargers/Fins:

Qb Herbert doesn’t fool around-he’s already 10th in the league in attempted long balls despite not starting the year on the field. After his dismal debut Tua turned it around last week. Yes it’s a small sample but he came out of the game with an 8.9 yards per attempt number and created 3 first downs with his wheels. With the way the D is playing the Fins look like a solid wild card playoff team that might be able to steal a game in the first round. All Hail Brian Flores!

Bills/Cards:

Oh, I like this game. The over/under is 56 last I checked-beware of flying balls and rambling qb’s! Murray’s completion rate to Hopkins in a clean pocket and 15+ yards downfield? An astounding 82%! Wow. What’s happened to Drake? He’s been absolutely abandoned in the passing game, having only 7 catches so far on 127(!) routes run. He was projected as a 3 down back. Meanwhile Edmonds is tracking towards 60 grabs this year. Why do teams sour on Drake?

Seahawks/Rams:

D.K. Metcalf is everything N’Keal Harry was supposed to be. Swing and a big miss, Belichick. The former’s 372 yards on deep balls is 50 ahead of the 2nd place wr. As Hippo noted with Goff’s renewed improved play, the O-line that last year placed 28th in pressure allowed is the very best in keeping Jared’s uni clean.

Niners/Saints:

New Orleans provided a glimpse of what their D is capable of when it hit on every cylinder but issues remain. They’ve allowed more 40+ pass plays than any other team and their pass interference penalties(7) 20 yards or more downfield are the most in the league. You may want to sit te Cook down for this one-San Franny has locked down pass-catching te’s and he’s also been averaging 25 yards and 2.7 grabs over the last 3 games.

Bengals/Steelers:

The NFL’s best pass rush should have Burrow wishing he was trodding up a perilous mountain pass with a load of provisions on his back. Perhaps Cincy should play their 4th string qb, the Steelers seem to have problems defending against that type of player. I’m playing Tee Higgins vs this vaunted D because they’ve given up 150+ yards to two separate wr’s and have allowed 11 different players at that position to score a 6 spot.

Start with the jibber jabber.

Unsurprised

I just spent the last hour – hour and a half walking around my building’s sun deck. For an hour some older neighbors were doing their own walking and jogging respectively on the opposite end of the deck and it was basically a prison workout. Now I just have to start doing lifting exercises in my bedroom using books and milk jugs and body weight (of which I have plenty).

Brick Meathook

Outstanding! Channel all your anger into weight lifting and cardio exercise, and before you know it you might be a state governor.

Unsurprised

It’s either that a stroke or rona.

Brick Meathook

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women. Keep hydrated.

For my next feat, I shall attempt to work out with a stomach full of pulled pork and potato chips without throwing up

Viva La Tabula Raza

Isometric or cardio?

This confirms that Bill O’Brien would get shot on sight if he steps foot in Houston right?

No DA could get a conviction.

Recovery Whiskey

Holy shit Cardinals

Unsurprised

That’s a better name than the unadorned Qards

ThePirateSloth

Seriously, did the Seahawks replace Schotty with Darrell Fucking Bevell these last couple of weeks?

Recovery Whiskey

We weren’t throwing downfield all day so maybe?

hippofant

Nate Tice mentioned on Twitter that the Rams were playing quarters all day, with Ramsey taking away Metcalf (Not entirely sure how that’s possible with quarters coverage? Unless they were in Nickel all day, but that should have left holes all over the place underneath if they’re playing 4-deep and Ramsey’s following Metcalf all over the field.)

Might explain the lack of deep passing from the Seahawks.

Holy crap.

CARDINALS R ROCKIN
Murry called game on that throw
Hopkins really got that

Brick Meathook

I can see the new Los Angeles stadium from down the street from my estate. I will never be inside it, but Joe and Troy can tell be about it.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Also, there are probably virtual tours available that have no mention of Troy or Joe.

Brick Meathook

I’ve never been in a Walmart in my life and I’m not about to start.

Oddly enough, the only time I was ever in a K-Mart was in Front Royal Virginia in 1992 to buy a styrofoam beer cooler and Donald Trump was shopping there with his earlier wife (Ivana?). True story.

Unsurprised

No one circles the open receiver and lets him catch the pass like the Buffalo Bills.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Holy shit!
