Post Body

It's Monday my friends. Are you ready for some... tarot? Let's kick back, relax, and then stress out about who to start and what the card art truly means about the Jets and the Browns.

Notes:

I currently use Golden Thread Tarot to save time and better record each read. Some reads in the future might be done with a physical deck.
Each player has a single tarot card drawn to inform the question "How will [player name] perform in [week x] of the 2019-2020 NFL season?"
The keyword cells relate to a description in Labyrinthos. They are the same descriptions/card illustrations as those in the Golden Thread app and help explain my comments on the card visuals.
I'm not experienced in Tarot readings prior to last NFL season.

The Jets:

Position	Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot Take
QB	Trevor Siemian	VIII of Swords - Reversed	Self-acceptance, new perspective, freedom	Well, the Siemian is loose. I think this is more about his start than how he'll actually perform, but he sounds up to the task at least. Better than we expect.
RB	Le'Veon Bell	VIII of Cups - Reversed	Confusion, fear of the unknown, fear of loss	New QB downgrades Bell a bit and he may also still be acclimating to New York. Lots of uncertainty is a bit of a worry, but not bad enough to sit him (plus it's Monday...).
RB	Ty Montgomery	The Tower	Sudden upheaval, pride, disaster	Ty is either in for a bad game, or is forced in due to injury elsewhere... Darnold missing is causing issues everywhere.
WR	Robby Anderson	IX of Swords - reversed	Fear, lack of objectivity, despair	Wow, all bad cards so far. Robby is falling on swords and in a bad headspace. This seems to point to penalties or at least dropped balls (maybe due to Brown swords).
WR	Jamison Crowder	The Sun - Reversed	Negativity, depression, sadness	Jets can't get a break. Crowder is putting his hand out to the sun, but not reaching it. He should at least get good looks which is something.
WR	Demaryius Thomas	Page of Swords - Reversed	Hastiness, rushing through, all talk	Damn. "There is a sense of disappointment setting in around you." Well, take that for what you will... at least he's energetic and playing hard. Sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing though.
TE	Ryan Griffin	Death - Reversed	Fear of change, holding on, stagnation	Well, QB loss is a huge change. He hasn't embraced Siemian yet and I don't expect points.
K	Sam Ficken	Page of Pentacles	Dreams, desire, new opportunity	The first decent draw for the Jets. Sounds like Ficken will get a lot of chances to shine tonight, volume scoring a definite chance. He has luck on his side.
DST	lots of people	VII of Swords - Reversed	Self-acceptance, new perspective, freedom	An okay draw! They had a ton of points last week and they might pull it off again, at least somewhat.

Jeez, terrible draws all around for NY.

Browntown, USA:

Position	Player Name	Card	Keywords	Hot take
QB	Baker Mayfield	X of Cups	Happiness, fulfillment, celebration	Baker is in a good spot. Better than last week, even with the Jets D getting a good draw.
RB	Nick Chubb	IV of Swords - Reversed	Restlessness, burnout, stress	Interesting draw, he'll be slowed down so his snaps might be a bit low. I wouldn't be surprised to see him still put up points, but maybe the Browns put this away early and he gets some rest.
RB	D'Ernest Johnson	VII of Cups - Reversed	temptation, diversion, confusion	Nope, staying away here. General negativity and confusion.
WR	OBJ	Ace of Pentacles	Opportunity, prosperity, new venture	Whelp. The Mayfield -> OBJ connection is real this week. At least one TD coming.
WR	Jarvis Landry	Judgement	Reflection, reckoning, inner voice	He should be a bit better than last week, but not by much. He's still working to get this role down.
WR	Rashard Higgins	King of Wands - Reversed	Impulsive, overbearing, unachievable expectations	His feet are being held to the fire and getting burned. [Just found out he's out, gah]
TE	David Njoku	VIII of Wands - reversed	Obstacles, waiting, slowing down	The D locks him down with those arrows we see on the card. He'll get receptions but not a lot of yardage.
K	Austin Seibert	Strength - reversed	Self-doubt, weakness, insecurity	Bad draw, he's vulnerable. Missed kick won't be surprising tonight.
DST		IV of Cups - Reversed	Boredom, taking for granted, aloofness	Interesting draw. I wonder if they just don't spend much time on the field this week. It does sound like they might make a key mistake, but overall they still will play well.
