Your “Sunday Is Funday” NFL Football Open Thread

Yay, it’s here! And now we have all sorts of tilts with playoff and/or draft position implications.

TO THE GAMES!

Texans/Bears:

Whar is Bears D? After not allowing qb’s to get even 20 fantasy points in week’s 1-11 they’ve given 25 to Rodgers and 26 to Stafford-this bodes well for Watson who is playing out of his mind right now. Keke shone last week in the absence of Cooks but the latter is back after solving his concussion issues.

Cowboys/Bengals:

If you’re looking to stream a qb for your playoff game you’re in a tough spot just like me and you could do worse that Dalton. Due to Cincy’s inability to generate any kind of pressure he should have all day back there to throw to his mighty triumvirate of wr’s. This is probably the most underwhelming ‘Revenge’ game you’ll likely ever eyeball.

Chiefs/Fins:

I’m kinda curious as to what Flores is going to do in this spot. Miami is top 5 in generating pressure and might have the league’s top pair of cb’s in Howard and Jones but Kelce and Hill are nearly unguardable. Stay away from the Chiefs backfield though, it’s a fat mess.

Cards/Giants:

While great strides have been made the Giants o-line is one of only two (Hi, Jets!) that allows pressure on more than 40% of dropbacks. Hopkins has struggled recently when shadowed by Ramsey and Gilmore and today he’ll get the same treatment from Bradberry who is making his own case for being a top 5 cb.

Vikes/Bucs:

Has Tampa fixed their secondary? They’ve given up 376/3 to Goff and 462/3 to Mahomes in weeks 11 and 12. If Dalvin can’t cook (sorry Russ) it could mean that Cousins gets beyond his usual 20 throws and that means good things for Jefferson and Thielen. Things is, Brady should have an easy time of it vs a Vikes D that is 25th in yards per attempt allowed.

Broncos/Panthers:

One imagines what te Fant could do with a consistent qb under center. Of Lock’s 14 games played he’s thrown for over 250 and had more than one score only twice. Robby Anderson hasn’t been talked about much but he’s one of only 6 wr’s that has a 27% or more target share.

Titans/Jags:

Henry needs to average 171 yards per game in order to join the folks in the 2,000 pantheon. Today he has the Jags and then it’s Lions, Packers and Texans. It’s doable. A.J. Brown gets all the press for his big days and his fumbling at the goal line/dropping open passes but Corey Davis should be a top 20 wr today. It’s a limited sample but nobody has a higher percentage of deep passes thrown than Giraffe’s 20%.

10. Count ’em ten fucking points our idiot fucking kicker left on the field while scoring none.

What the fuck with this team and our kickers?

Remember when Manning parted the East River and led the Giants out of Long Island?

Burnley up 1-0 on Arsenal and it’s time for Horatio to go hit firewood with an axe.
/Burnley deserves it. Arsenal has been playing like a bunch on thugs.

2020, fucking hell.

Dunstan

Well, I guess we know who hired Gregg Williams.

Recovery Whiskey

The Kroenke family’s ruining of Arsenal has been such a predictable train wreck

Horatio Cornblower

I’m not a fanatical fan, really only for purposes of DFO, so I can’t lie and say that I don’t get more than a little enjoyment out of Kroenke getting torn to shreds for his shitty ownership of the club.

LemonJello

So, which NY QB is moar special; Touch of Downs or March of Dimes?

Game Time Decision
