We're at the halfway point for some teams, so naturally some of the early week rust has shaken off and we're seeing more of what we expected. The Bills have a terrible offense. The Vikings have a good to great defense. Bortles borking. Gruden ... Gruden-ing. Speaking of that:
This marks third time under Jerry Jones that Cowboys have traded a No. 1 draft pick for a veteran WR: two firsts for Joey Galloway, a first and three other picks for Roy Williams and now Amari Cooper. The first two were epic failures.

Jerry Jones making a trade for Amari Cooper is the worst thing to happen to my Dynasty team. Now I have to root for the Cowboys, sorta. I hate that.
But! I no longer have any reason to consider rooting for the Raiders because I actually don't know anyone else left on the team. Marshawn has a groin injury and will be sitting out for a while leaving Derek Carr and .......... seriously, no idea.
Let's see here. The Saints are good enough on defense again to be considered a top team. Especially now that they added a CB in Eli Apple. Apple might not be a *great* CB but he's an upgrade. I still don't think they're a match for the Rams, but who is?
Btw, is anyone trading legit offensive linemen? It's pretty clear that Josh Rosen is on the David Carr track and will likely have PTSD the rest of his life. His performance on Thursday night was on par with another former Arizona QB. Hopefully the in-season OC firing will help Rosen follow in the Goff path.
That's it from me for this week. Hopefully your team is looking good, but probably not if they're in the AFC South.
Sounds like he may have been hammered and strolled into the wrong home.
As far as the NFL is concerned, he better hope it was just alcohol and not something else.
I legit thought it was Thursday evening when I saw this thread available.
Bless you for digging up this gif. I scoured (not really) the interwebs yesterday and found only stills.
I'm assuming they're talking about a part of a vacuum cleaner but I'm still picturing a guy reaching into a giant 1950's computer, pulling out a vacuum tube and whipping it at Kelly.

I gotta admit that's the first place my head went with "vacuum tube" too.

This is amazing.

Swag Kelly? More like SWAC Kelly!
I'll see myself out.
The story gets better.
Let me just quote the headline from that link:
Chad Kelly arrested on trespassing charge while in cowboy costume following Broncos Halloween party
CHAD WAS FRAMED
This might or might not have any bearing on the Chad Kelly story, but he's originally from ... Buffalo!
That town, man.
John Ross continues down that 1st round WR bust career path, will now miss multiple weeks after re-aggravating his groin injury.
Have we not talked about how Rae Carruth was just released from prison?
Wow.
Giants got a 4th and a 2020 7th for Other Eli.
Niners put Pierre Garcon on the trade block.

Yeah, same here.
Funny thing is that I actually held a vacuum tube in my hand last weekend. I found it while we were cleaning out my father-in-law's house.
Swag has a court date, November 8th.
Remember when I was posting screenshots of the notifications Google News sent me about Kelly? That was no joke, and it has not stopped.
I don't know what the parameters are that the Google News app uses to decide what to send push notifications about (it is selective about them, does not just spam them all day), but it seems to have "the most egregious stuff Trump does" and "any news story at all about Chad Kelly" on equal ground for the top priority.
Bortles? The Niners? Fresno State? Local news? All running a very distant third or worse.
Jon Gruden losing the locker room? It's all part of his cunning ser-pen-tine strategy!

Trade everyone away, get all new players, boom, problem solved.
You know who will be loyal to you Gruden? Bortles. He's never disgruntled. Carr to Jags for Bortles and Dareus.
Giants continue to sell off their defense, trade Damon Harrison to the Lions for a 5th.

The Charlotte Observer recently published a seven-part series, plus podcast, on that whole horrible episode.
Meanwhile, some folks thought it would be FUNNY to put Carruth's name on the back of a jersey.
Unrelated: Broncos cut Chad Kelly. Five bucks says the Bills pick him up!
God damn Swag, you were so close.
You haven't made it onto the field yet, you don't get Josh Gordon number of chances if you haven't produced in games.

Because I'm the absolute filth of humanity, the part that stood out to me was:
Other names on the NFL's jersey blacklist -- Aaron Hernandez and O.J. Simpson. Harambe the gorilla was on the list, but that name is now allowable.
That's pretty funny.
