Week 10 NFL Maps

Questions to be answered this week:

- Will the SF Purdy's break their three game losing streak @ Jax?
- Will the vaunted Cleveland defense slow down Lamar's MVP caliber 1st half of the season?
- Will Danny Devito's little brother complete a pass vs a pissed off Cowboy D?

Crap fest to start the week, but it should be a fun weekend!

 

[luckiestman]

Don't think I'll be rushing home to watch tonight's game.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm trying to determine who to root for, for draft position purposes

 

[rodderick]

I should get one year of Gamepass free if I manage to watch more than a quarter of this matchup.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I'm trying to determine who to root for, for draft position purposes

Yeah, I'm so confused by this.

It's even more convoluted because Chicago has Carolina's 1st round pick.

Do we want Carolina to win, so Chicago only gets one top pick, or do we want Chicago to win so they get two (knowing they can't take both Maye and Caleb).

So then I decided to look at their remaining schedules to see where either team could pick up wins:

Chicago after tonight:

@Lions
@Vikes
vs.Lions
@Browns
vs. Cardinals
vs. Falcons
@ Packers

Looking at that, I think they can absolutely beat Arizona and the Falcons (especially if Fields comes back). I think they could potentially beat the Vikings with Dobbs, and have a shot against the Packers too. But let's say 2-5

Now Carolina:

vs. Dallas
@Ten
@ Bucs
@ Saints
vs. Falcons
vs. Packers
@ Jags
vs. Bucs.

Again, some winnable games. I think they have a better chance of winning 3 than Chicago does.

Aww fuck it, I still have no idea.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Aww fuck it, I still have no idea.

At this stage, I think the Bears are more likely to win a few more ... which would create separation between their pick and the Panthers. So I'm guessing we want a Bears win

 

[nattysez]

It's going to be very hard for the Pats to lose to the Giants, so I think the minimum the Pats will win is 3 games.

With that in mind, I'm rooting for the Bears in order to maximize their chances of getting to 4 wins.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What a waste of a prime time slot. I mean its the NFL and I will watch but only because all the other paint is dry.

Maybe you should paint something else

 

[Freddy Linn]

Old Al sucks. He’s more animated in his radio spots with DP than he is calling a punt return taken to the house.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Exciting punt return and Al Michaels calls it like a eulogy.

 

[DanoooME]

Didn't realize the Panthers were playing the Broncos tonight

 

[shawnrbu]

The Bears are awful.

 

[DanoooME]

Al Michaels is probably my all time favorite announcer but he really needs to ride off into the sunset.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Eberflus looks like someone. I wanna say Parker Stevenson.

 

[E5 Yaz]

It doesn't help that Herbstreit is so low-energy as an analyst, but you're right

 

[E5 Yaz]

A little Bill Pullman in there as well

 

[nattysez]

Al Michaels is probably my all time favorite announcer but he really needs to ride off into the sunset.

Amen.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Enough of the Kelce family.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Kelce sounds like he's going step right into the studio after he finishes up his playing career.

 

[DanoooME]

Hey, a creative offensive play!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Al must know this is the price he has to pay for next week's Bengals @ Ravens game

 

[DanoooME]

Fitzpatrick is really whoring himself out ..

 

[E5 Yaz]

Fitzpatrick is really whoring himself out ..

Well, he went to Harvard, so. ...

 

[DanoooME]

I think Al wants Kelce to replace Herbstreit for the rest of the season

 

[E5 Yaz]

Al's warming up for his plain hamburger at halftime

 

[Justthetippett]

It doesn't help that Herbstreit is so low-energy as an analyst, but you're right

I don't mind his energy but the next time he says something interesting on air will be the first time.

 

[Groovenstein]

Al's warming up for his plain hamburger at halftime

Wonder if his wallet contains a picture of the burger’s desired doneness

 

[luckiestman]

This is horrible

 

[luckiestman]

Is the NFLPA on strike? Are these scabs?

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Sorta glad to see Douglas isn't the only returner in the league to head in the wrong direction after fielding a punt.

 

[BusRaker]

Fitzpatrick is really whoring himself out ..

Well, he went to Harvard, so. ...

Economics major at Harvard though. He should know supply verses demand.

I think Bears get some wins behind Fields so I'd rather Carolina win this one. Well, let me check my fantasy opponents roster before I say that. First year I've ever rooted for my roster over Pat's potential playoff implications (not this game obviously but others) ... weird shit.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Its telling when your broadcast team is trying to make fake trades to fix the abysmal teams/players they are watching.

 

[luckiestman]

No way is Bagent’s dad a worse RG than whatever the hell da Bears got out there tonight

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Oof that punt

 

[luckiestman]

Harbaugh should go to Chicago and trade Fields and these top picks for volume and rebuild this whole mess

 

[E5 Yaz]

LOL

 

[shawnrbu]

Frank Reich teams are terrible. What a joke that Steve Wilks didn’t get that job.

 

[Oil Can Dan]

If not for gambling this game would be completely unwatchable. As it is I’m on the edge of my seat rooting for Miles Sanders to end up with less than 23 rushing yards.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game is meeting expectations. Its middle management. Its the breakfast you have, not the one you want.

 

[DanoooME]

Harbaugh should go to Chicago and trade Fields and these top picks for volume and rebuild this whole mess

I don't think either of these teams could pay Harbaugh enough money to coach them

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

At least the MLB playoffs had Penelope Cruz half assing Emirates commercials. TNF has Veozah!

Half-assing, my ass

 

[luckiestman]

Carolina guy could pay

 

[DanoooME]

Carolina guy could pay

If I'm Jim Harbaugh I would demand a piece of ownership on top of double Belichick's salary to coach there. I didn't think they could take a step back in ownership from Richardson but here we are

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

If I were Harbaugh I’d wait to see how the Chargers season plays out and if that job opens up. Spanos will pay up, and he can coach Herbert and win right away.

Will he pay, I thought Spanos was cheap

 

[DanoooME]

That would be a great job but Spanos is a notorious tightwad.

 

[DanoooME]

So that's where Rasheem Green ended up

 

[DanoooME]

Under looks to be a lock at this point
