Your Thursday Nighter Open Thread

Man, I love the fact that there is football on Thursday nights. It’s not as though I expect a good game or anything like that. (Giants/Washington next week folks!) Let me back up a bit-Mondays I tend to drag my ass at work a bit but I get through it knowing that I’ve got a game later that evening. Tuesday is meh. Wednesday at noon I can say to myself, “I’m half-way through the damn week”. Thursday is a busy, pulled-in-many- directions day but I know that my beloved is not far away. And Friday is Friday. What I’m trying to say is that work has become a grind, a god-awful “What am I here for, What are my goals and why are they important?” purpose-emptying, shoulder-sagging, sigh of resignation grind. You youngerlings have this to look forward to-Yay!

Den at KC: It’s The Battle of the Noodly Appendages! You want shovel passes? You got ’em! Do you want quick outs, slants, checkdowns and bubble screens? It’s all here folks. You can’t get that on the the History Channel. Wait there’s more-after all that you may get a long(ish) looping parabolic toss that drops into the mitts of the receiver or the guy that’s defending him. Peyton strikes me as fragile-I wonder if he gets through the season. He doesn’t even have the mobility to sidestep pass rushers any more. His last six games  he’s tossed 4 TD’s and had 7 intercepts. Head to head I think I’d take Smith-at least the guy can bail out of the pocket and run for yardage. Andy Reid’s Chiefs are favoured by 3 wetnaps and they sure as hell are going to get a WR TD tonight because. Just…because. CJ’s toe is banged up and Ronnie Lott suggested he just cut it off and, “get the hell back in there, pansy”. All-Pro safety TJ Ward is back after a one game suspension for, I don’t know, taking an extra butter tart at the last player’s union meeting? He gets to cover Kelce. Defence And Ball Control For Everyone, Excitement For None!

For you gamblers, very close to the first push of the weekend!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am rooting for the Chefs tonight, just cant care

I am starting Charles on my FF team. Still can’t care

entropy

The Kansas City Ennui understand.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Jeez that crowd is overweight. It’s like there was a huge ketchup accident at a Colts game.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Imagine if Jamaal Charles was on a team with any other source of offense.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And a coach that knew what was happening beyond the concession stand.

Senor Weaselo

Maybe giving the ball to Jamaal Charles is a good idea.

King Hippo

If Andy had the ability to learn, he’d run three times, kick a FG and the game is over.

entropy

Cue the next Alex Smith INT in 3….2….

Sill Bimmons
entropy

Special teams? Here’s a flag!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

They should call them spenalty-cial teams, amirite?

entropy

Trying to pronounce that hurts.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

And I jinxed it.

Redshirt

Three missed catches (four if you include the foot).

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

The worst thing about Thursday football is that it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth so I want MORE football to cleanse the palate, but I have to wait three days.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

“I know how you feel.”

-Jesus

makeitsnowondem

I think the Broncos have tested Peters sufficiently now, and can cut that shit right out.

entropy

That was a very Chiefs non-INT.

WCS

HERPAPOOLSA

BrettFavresColonoscopy

We haven’t had a penalty flag in like three drives. Did someone sacrifice a virgin or something?

Senor Weaselo

No, I’m still ali—I mean, I’m engaged in coitus with many beautiful ladies right now!

WCS

You just HAD to say something…

Redshirt

No. I’m still here.

King Hippo

Off tackle to the guy with turf toe is not gonna work.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So wait, I’m having trouble telling DraftKings and FanDuel apart. Which is the one that takes your money in exchange for a minuscule chance of receiving a payout, and which is the one that takes your money in exchange for an infinitesimal chance of receiving a payout?

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Neither. They both just steal your money

makeitsnowondem

God bless you, Chris Harris. And not Mike Huckabee’s God, to be clear.

Old School Zero

Alex Smith refuses to throw it long due to his religious freedom being encroached by the forward pass.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Go fuck yourself for defending Chris Harris. I hate his god too

Sill Bimmons

Mother pus bucket…

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

Nobody steps on a church in my town!

entropy

I think he can hear you, Ray.

King Hippo

SHIT, I thought he was gonna run it back.

Thank you for being you, Andy.

OsamaBenJarvus

Jesus titty fucking Christ

Senor Weaselo

“…give Alex Smith a chance to throw this ball into the end zone for a touchdown.”

Uh, Pheeeeeel?

entropy

Yeah, no shit. He did know he was talking about Alex Smith, right?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Which end zone?

WCS

Never change, Alex Smith.

Doktor Zymm

Bah, these assholes having close games. I’m gonna go sleep and assume that the game was stopped due to an unusual rain of sardines, which required the setting up of a grill in the middle of the field and the whole audience enjoyed delicious tapas, while the football game was delayed until I wake up tomorrow morning.

the king in yellow

Cool. The Chiefs apparently employ a falconer!

litre_cola

Clock Management is Andy Reids forte

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Defensive returns is Marc Trestmans Forte.

Old School Zero

Why is that one KC coach wearing horse insemination gloves?

Sill Bimmons

BOSS TODD APPROVES THIS DRIVE-KILLING TRICK PLAY

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yes! Andy Reid clock management in mid season form.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Charles seems well aware the Chiefs are wasting what’s left of his prime. He should start wearing a beret and smoking clove cigarettes.

Senor Weaselo

The all DOOOON’T CAAAARE team. Cutler at QB, Charles at RB, Fitty as your WR. So far, not awful.

entropy

He can start talking like the French kid from South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

Senor Weaselo

Attempted trickeration!

Badger

Uh…

Doktor Zymm

I can’t cheer for him! He’s Irish!

Old School Zero

LOOK OUT BRONCOS IT’S AN IRISHMAN!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Bullshit – he started sliding like 3 yards before the line.

Doktor Zymm

Despite being a woman with short arms and tiny hands, I assume the main reason I’m not in the NFL is my tattoos.

King Hippo

DAS RAYCESS!!!

Sill Bimmons

Whatever you say Travis, 16, from Des Moines…

litre_cola

Sill that was absolutely fantastic

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I forgot you were a woman. I think the reason is tiny hands.

entropy

The only way that could possibly be true is if your ink is well-executed and legible.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

THIS GAME I CALL IT STUCK AT THE ARCADE BECAUSE WITH ONE QUARTER LEFT I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Remember “Rampage”? That was always a good game for your last quarter; it could last a while.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

I remember playing it as a kid on the NES. My cousin convinced me that the area of the map with the great lakes was Hawaii because it was shaped like a palm tree. Fucker.

Sill Bimmons

Okoye: One Bad Ass Mother Fucker

Redshirt

At this point, I’m rooting for the tie because no team deserves to win this game.

entropy

I’m still pulling for that meteor.

King Hippo

There’s not a sane Denver fan who wouldn’t take that offer in a second.

Senor Weaselo

Preferably a 19-19 tie. That’s right, safeties for both sides.

makeitsnowondem

I’m rooting for a tie because my team doesn’t deserve to win this game.

Sill Bimmons

KELCEDOWN NAOW PLEEZ

King Hippo

It’s hard to win playing without a QB or a LT.

Doktor Zymm

I would rather hear Mic’d up with Tommy from Quinzee, even on this game, which he probably isn’t watching

entropy

“FAAAHHCCKK YEW WE AHLWAYS WATCH THAT FAGGOT MANNING FAAHHCKIN LOSE EV-AH-REE GAME HE PLAYS!!”

makeitsnowondem

I’m politically conservative, in that I’d like to go back to a simpler time, a better time, back at the end of the first half when Denver was doing shit that worked.

Badger

Why wasn’t that topic in the debate?

King Hippo

It was a glorious 5 minute Renaissance.

packman_jon

Houston…Texans?

Step 1: Make a microwave to plays “Final Countdown” with 0:15 to go.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: PROFIT!

King Hippo

KC’s punter is better, but Denver’s placekicker is better. FEEL THE EXCITEMENT!

WCS

EACH KICK MORE MUNDANE THAN THE LAST

BrettFavresColonoscopy

It’s Colquittin’ time!

#rejectedfantasticfourlines

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

It’s Von Miller Time!

entropy

“Let’s make a good movie!”

#rejectedfantasticfourlines

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

So is there such thing as 1/6 of a sack?

makeitsnowondem

We’re trying!

Why Thank You Eddie

Yeah, that’s what my weedman used to tell me.

Doktor Zymm

TAPE CURES ALL. I’ve been lucky enough to avoid back and knee injuries, but I’ve fucked up my ankle plenty of times. Granted, I’ve never had the advantage of tape, or NFL level painkillers, but down for <20 seconds = 3 day recovery, down for 20 – 90 seconds, week recovery, down for 3+ minutes while a cat sits on your bed and laughs about how you just tripped on it? Month recovery, two if you could being able to stand on your toes on one leg.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

THIS DOCTOR ZYMM I CALL HER PEYTON MANNING BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HER BODY IS FALLING APART SHE KEEPS IT TOGETHER BY GRINDING TAPE.

My dad tells the horror story of when he was playing basketball in high school, planted his foot, and looked down to see the entire bottom sole of his shoe.

OsamaBenJarvus

Fuck both these teams.
