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!

If the key to Charles breaking off a long td run was Alex Smith, then the key to America’s economic recovery was my purchase of a six pack a few years ago.

I still believe in my team. The Broncos could be the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl without an offensive touchdown.

bourb0nblues

Clemson down by 3.

Defensive Back Mike Wallace

Somewhere, Lil’ Flip writes “Game Over”.

John Difool

With his mustache, Andy Reid is so fat he looks like one of those street sweeper trucks. I know KC is home to cows and shit but how the hell do you get any fatter leaving the capital of cheesesteaks?

Old School Zero

It’s the midwest, so there’s always an excess of calories.

Plus, KC slathers their ribs in high fructose corn syrup.

makeitsnowondem

I do like the new commenting format. It’s like having my name in lights.

Doktor Zymm

I also enjoy the tasteful pastel blue background.

litre_cola

Normally moving sucks but this has been quite a nice one.

Thanks! I wanted you guys to look like the stars you are.

Beerguyrob

As long as Alex Smith can count the penalties as passing yards.

Doktor Zymm

What’s the Jaro-Winkler distance between RB and WR?

blordinaryfagicmox

1/3?

Gratliff

Nothing as exciting as low-scoring AFC west battles, eh?
/back to MSG 5

blordinaryfagicmox

Gratliff? Gratliff? Graaaaaaaaatlifffffffffffffffffff!!!!

Gratliff

Did we already lose the ability to edit posts? 🙁

Beerguyrob

Good look on Bum’s kid there.

Sill Bimmons

wrong chief 🙁

...

Anyone else slightly disappointed we finally have points?

makeitsnowondem

yes

King Hippo

seconded, also with bias (but also for the entropy factor)

entropy

If it ends the deep-off, I’m ok with it. If both teams now double-down on their idiocy, I’m pissed.

Lothar of the Hill People

I was hoping for 2-0 in OT.

Senor Weaselo

Yes.

Old School Zero

Me too.

bourb0nblues

CHARLESDOWN!

Senor Weaselo

All right, that’s game!

laserguru

Elite dump off.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

I love you Jamaal.

OsamaBenJarvus

Whooooooooo!

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Man these comments are YUUUUUGE.

/it’s MNF right?

Old School Zero

They are quite sizable. Brett Favre feels intimidated.

JustStopDude

What now its the National Pussy League?!?

How am I suppose to be entertained and held erect without clear head trauma occurring?!?

Sill Bimmons

Good call.

OsamaBenJarvus

Correction: Denver’s entire defense seems like kind of a dick.

Senor Weaselo

How many times would Ray Lewis get flagged for that?

entropy

None. He would pay a member of his entourage to take the penalty.

...

I hope we end up with more flags than points.

Lothar of the Hill People

Ummm, that’s pretty much a given at this point.

synapticmisfires

Good decision Von. Tiny hands would have picked up that 3rd and 12 anyway.

“Colbert taking late night by storm.” Welcome to 2007, critics.

entropy

What the fuck?! Does anyone on Denver’s D understand the concept of the fucking whistle?,

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Come on now, that hit wasn’t that late, shit.

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Nope never mind, maybe it was.

laserguru

Jesus Christ, Andy Reid looks like he grew an additional tent size this year.

Senor Weaselo

Wait, how does that negate the 5-yard penalty, even if they don’t offset? Is it a net 10 yard penalty?

Lothar of the Hill People

Personal fouls get enforced, and minor penalties don’t offset 15 yarders.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

@DTZM

I think you only get stuck if you are writing a comment of the switchover. I was suggesting active updating of the “live” page and removing old comments instead of making another page. I have nothing going on and love that shit so if you want to do it am on board to help out.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

on*

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

ABSOLUTELY. I would love help with it.

indieguy

its a good thing this isn’t texas or the ref would need a cat scan

Doktor Zymm

I love that his full name is “Vonnie B’Vsean Miller”

Sill Bimmons

wtf

makeitsnowondem

Von Miller’s first step is so good the officials can’t even flag a false start before he gets to the quarterback.

Lothar of the Hill People

FLAGS FOR THE FLAG GOD!

synapticmisfires

That’s the most action we’ve had all game.

John Difool

Von Miller…..LEEEEROOOOOYY JEEEEEENKIIIIINS !!!

entropy

Miller: “I hear whistles. Better mow down Smith anyway.”

Japanimal

Is Von Miller on Krokodil?

litre_cola

No just a lovely Four Loko and meth cocktail.

OsamaBenJarvus

Von Miller seems like kind of a dick.

...

YOU KEEP YOUR BIG HANDS OFF TINY HANDS.

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris

I can’t believe that the goddamned liveblog curse followed you guys here.

Sill Bimmons

Pretty sure that’s on you bro.

OsamaBenJarvus

“mmmm…window dressing.” – Andy Reid

litre_cola

Manning and Smith pitching shutouts just because they are really in to the MLB guys.

makeitsnowondem

I like when Denver’s defense is on the field because it means they might score a touchdown.

Old School Zero

Defense is the best offense.

That’s how Grossman got to the Super Bowl.

King Hippo

it’s clearly the only way. we don’t have a good enough kick returner.
