NFL Week 10: A bunch of games will be played

There will be a number of NFL games played this week. There will be a Thursday night game - it will probably be crappy. A few teams will be on bye as well.

Have at it.

 

Over-under on knees taken during anthems, and bottles thrown at the offending players?

 

Quality thread title

 

Thursday Night Breakdown: Ravens, Browns In AFC North Battle

I mean, if you can't get fucking fired up for that, what the fuck is the matter with you?!?!?!

 

Not much attractive early. Cowboys-Steelers late. Maybe. Same for Sunday night Seahawks-Patriots. Bengals-Giants Monday night, meh.

 

Al and Collinsworth must be thrilled about being sent to Baltimore for Browns @ Ravens.

 

Michaels wanted out of Thursday night games before the season, but the NFL wouldn't allow it. Every game has been a pain in the ass for him.

 

Here's an especially idle question that came to me as I was a captive audience for NFL Network at lunch at the saloon that has the best cheeseburger in the immediate vicinity. Has anyone retrofitted fantasy stats to old time players? How many did Jim Brown or O.J. put up? Or Unitas, or Raymond Berry, or Frank Gifford, well you get the idea.

 

The quarterbacks and receivers probably wouldn't have been terribly good considering the comparative lack of passing offense. The backs would fare better. Kickers? Forget it.

 

That would be a great exercise. The year OJ got 2,003, the second-leading rusher had 1,144. By contrast, when Peterson got 2,097, there were five other guys with at least 1,400.

 

Part of it is they play more games now.
