NFL Week 8

[aspeck]

Thursday Night Football will be starting soon ... get your picks in! Forgive the lateness of this, but Wimusky and I are both going through different family/health issues. But wanted to get the reminder out there... Redskins verses Vikings ... tonight!

2019 NFL - Week 8

Was building this one while aspeck was beating me to the punch. :smile: Combined both threads.

Fillin' in for Musky

This one's for Iron. It's Thursday! LOL

TNF tonight on FOX - Washington Redskins (1-6) vs Minnesota Vikings (5-2). Will the Skins breakout tonight? Will Kirk Cousins play a revenge game tonight to spite his ex-team? Maybe Adrian Peterson (10 seasons with the Vikings) or Case Keenum (1 season with the Vikes) are looking to show they should still be in Minnesota? Tune in at 8:20 for kickoff.

Browns and Rams play in London, but it's 1:00 PM start, not 9 AM.

Key injuries tonight;

Adam Thielen, Vikings, hamstring - Out
Adrian Peterson, Washington, high ankle sprain - ???

Sunday/MNF injuries - We're almost to mid-season and most players have some aches;

Matt Ryan, Atlanta, ankle sprain - ???. Look for Matt Schaub and a 1-7 record.
Russel Wilson. Seattle, knee - ???. Still gonna beat Atlanta.
Patrick Mahomes, KC, Knee - ?????? Practiced on Wednesday, kinda. Probably gonna be Moore to start.
Drew Brees, NO - Thumb - ??? No annoucement if he will play.
Josh Gordon, NE - knee - IR. Most likely waived after IR.
Team with no name - AB is selling two houses (Oakland/Pittsburgh) and during Week 12, no playing but a rescheduled deposition about trashing a rental house.

I got my finger tips up on the deck ! Someone throw me a line ! :lol:

 

[aspeck]

I can't believe I held on with a 9 point week. Those picks where thrown together because last week was a whirlwind and I made my picks for this week JUST before I posted ... one of those weeks.

And in nearly full disclosure, last Tuesday I got the call from my surgeon to report to Harrisburg General Hospital for an Aortic Valve replacement. Surgery happened on Thursday and there were a few complications (Right lung didn't want to fill, heart went into Aflutter), but as of last evening I am home and feeling better, just tire out quickly. I won't be playing any football this weekend ...

 

[Old Ironmaker]

Thursday all right all right. My food sales start tomorrow. Not everything is about the NFL until February.

Hoping the best for WIMUSKY and aspeck down here in Southern Ontario. Hang in there boys. Glad you are home safe and sound aspeck. We have a buddy in ICU in Hamilton On. He has both a pace maker and a difibulator but the non Bionic part of his heart just don't want to do it's job. He is in the best place he can be right now.

Here ya go. Tossing a line down. It needed some weight cuz it's windy. Grab the greased pig on the end. :lol:

 

[sphelps]

Speedy recovery speck ! Glad surgery went ok .
At least you’re still getting paid while your on the IR ..

 

[WIMUSKY]

Good job Bulldogz!!

Thanks 'Speck and GA. Forgot to contact my replacement, way to jump into the game! I was out of town...

Dad passed away, funeral next Tuesday. We're doing ok....

 

[GA_Boater]

No prob, Musky. RIP.

Remind me again who Bulldogz is.

 

[WIMUSKY]

:cheer2:

Our sincerest condolences. Dad passed away this past April 4 days after his 92nd birthday. He had a great run. I still reach for the phone to tell him his CFL Hamilton Tiger Cats are playing or there is a Bill's game on.

 

[sphelps]

Thoughts and prayers Musky ....

 

[aspeck]

Sounds like Brees is going to start tomorrow

 

[sphelps]

Son in law won the tickets our company gives away every home game . 4 tickets 100 bucks and parking pass ...
So me ,sil, my son and daughter will be going to the Jets game tomorrow!

 

[WIMUSKY]

Sounds like Brees is going to start tomorrow

Which is kinda dumb imo since they have a bye next week and Teddy hasn't lost a game. Kamara is out too, they have a bye next week . Mahomes and Kamara are killing my fantasy team.

That will be fun phelps!

Thanks guys. Trying to stay a little busy. Helps keep the mind occupied, sorta. Just waiting for Tues... Been a long week, sorta ...

 

[GA_Boater]

I am absolutely shocked!

Falcons are playing at home against the Seahawks and normally it would be the only game on local TV. FOX has the Falcons and CBS has the Cardinals vs Saints. I guess the CBS station figures they can pull some ratings. :smile:

 

[sphelps]

Had a blast yesterday at the game ! I don’t know if any of you saw Minshew,s game clinching TD pass on any highlights with around 4 mins left but that was unreal ! Our seats were right down low in that corner right in front of us ..
That play was amazing ! Theres something about that guy .. He’s a cool cat under pressure for sure . :hail:
Got another week or two then they gotta make that decision ...

 

[WIMUSKY]

Is Miami going to get their 1st win????????:rofl:

 

[WIMUSKY]

Rudy isn't looking so good.......
