Open Game Day Thread: NFL Early Afternoon Games (09/14/14)

The Houston Texans don't play until 3:25 p.m. CDT, so let's talk about the other games on the NFL Week Two slate today. How the Falcons respond against a tough Bengals team following their emotional Week One win over bitter rival New Orleans is just one of the interesting things to look out for in today's slate of 12 p.m. kickoffs.

The Texans don't play until 3:25 p.m., but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy one or two of these early games while you wait to catch J.J. Watt's massacre of the Oakland Raiders.

There's a little something for everyone here. Want to watch two possible playoff teams slug it out? Tune into Atlanta and Cincinnati. Maybe you like blowouts? New Orleans and Cleveland have what you're looking for. Want to see two teams that are going to lose the AFC East to the Patriots fight over third place? Miami and Buffalo have you covered. Do you like watching two semi-dysfunctional teams engage in the football equivalent of a monkey poo-fight (and/or are you interested in scouting a division rival)? Put on the Jaguars and Redskins. None of that your flavor? Well, I'm sure you can find something interesting in that slate of games.

Take to the comments to talk about what you're watching while you wait for the Texans to come on.  The first open game thread for Texans-Raiders will post at 3:10 p.m. CDT.
